Seit dem 19. Jahrhundert haben sich die Rahmenbedingungen, Aufgaben, Themen und Methoden religioser Bildung grundlegend verandert. Neue Medien beschleunigten den Transfer theologischen und padagogischen Wissens uber Landergrenzen hinweg. Individuelle ebenso wie institutionell basierte Netzwerke beforderten den Austausch religionspadagogischer Ideen und Praktiken. Durch Dynamisierungserfahrungen, etwa in Form von Mobilitat, Migration und (Zivilisierungs-)Missionen wurden bewahrte Organisationsmodelle religioser Bildung in Frage gestellt. Die in diesem Band versammelten Beitrage aus den Geschichts-, Erziehungs- und Politikwissenschaften sowie der Evangelischen und Katholischen Theologie analysieren jenen Wandel religioser Bildung unter den Bedingungen der Moderne. Durchgangig ist die historisch vergleichende oder transnationale Perspektive. Damit werden der traditionell eher nationalgeschichtlich orientierten deutschsprachigen Religions- und Bildungsforschung neue thematische Felder eroffnet. Das Methodenrepertoire der historischen und vergleichenden Religionspadagogik wird bereichert. Der Band umfasst Fallbeispiele aus dem 19. und 20. Jahrhundert, die sich mannigfachen Lernorten und disparaten Bildungsraumen zuordnen lassen.

Albert Einstein remains the quintessential icon of modern genius. Like Newton and many others, his seminal work in physics includes the General Theory of Relativity, the Absolute Nature of Light, and perhaps the most famous equation of all time: E=mc2. Following his death in 1955, Einstein's brain was removed and preserved, but has never been fully or systematically studied. In fact, the sections are not even all in one place, and some are mysteriously unaccounted for! In this compelling tale, Frederick E. Lepore delves into the strange, elusive afterlife of Einstein's brain, the controversy surrounding its use, and what its study represents for brain and/or intelligence studies. Carefully reacting to the skepticism of 21st century neuroscience, Lepore more broadly examines the philosophical, medical, and scientific implications of brain-examination. Is the brain simply a computer? If so, how close are we to artificially creating a human brain? Could scientists create a second Einstein? This "biography of a brain" attempts to answer these questions, exploring what made Einstein's brain anatomy exceptional, and how "found" photographs--discovered more than a half a century after his death--may begin to uncover the nature of genius.

How an obscure Puritan sermon came to be seen as a founding document of American identity and exceptionalism "For we must consider that we shall be as a city upon a hill," John Winthrop warned his fellow Puritans at New England's founding in 1630. More than three centuries later, Ronald Reagan remade that passage into a timeless celebration of American promise. How were Winthrop's long-forgotten words reinvented as a central statement of American identity and exceptionalism? In As a City on a Hill, leading American intellectual historian Daniel Rodgers tells the surprising story of one of the most celebrated documents in the canon of the American idea. In doing so, he brings to life the ideas Winthrop's text carried in its own time and the sharply different yearnings that have been attributed to it since. As a City on a Hill shows how much more malleable, more saturated with vulnerability, and less distinctly American Winthrop's "Model of Christian Charity" was than the document that twentieth-century Americans invented. Across almost four centuries, Rodgers traces striking shifts in the meaning of Winthrop's words-from Winthrop's own anxious reckoning with the scrutiny of the world, through Abraham Lincoln's haunting reference to this "almost chosen people," to the "city on a hill" that African Americans hoped to construct in Liberia, to the era of Donald Trump. As a City on a Hill reveals the circuitous, unexpected ways Winthrop's words came to lodge in American consciousness. At the same time, the book offers a probing reflection on how nationalism encourages the invention of "timeless" texts to straighten out the crooked realities of the past.
