On Theology: Herman Bavinck's Academic Orations presents four previously untranslated works by Herman Bavinck (1854-1921). These works offer important insights into Bavinck's conceptualisation of the discipline of theology, its place in the modern university, and the relation in which theology stands to religion. In the introductory essay, Bruce R. Pass draws attention to the way these speeches shed light on the development of Bavinck's thought across his tenure at the Kampen Theological School and the Free University of Amsterdam as well as the complex relationship in which Bavinck's thought stands to that of Friedrich Schleiermacher.

"The Pastoral Care is a work of moral instruction. The title Liber regulae pastoralis assigned to the Latin text from which the Old English Pastoral Care is translated, is apparently the one intended by its author, Pope Gregory I. It may be rendered Book of Pastoral Rule, in reference to the duties of a "shepherd" or bishop. The book is also sometimes called Liber pastoralis curae (Book of Pastoral Care), or some variant thereof, apparently on the basis of its opening words. The work was completed at the start of Gregory's pontificate, in 590 or 591, and it fulfilled an intention that Gregory had earlier expressed of composing for speakers of Latin a resource already available in Greek: an account of the qualities required of a bishop and of the best methods to be employed in dealing with the diverse sorts of people under a bishop's care. It may be deduced from the verse prologue to the Old English translation that Augustine of Canterbury took a copy of the work with him to England when Gregory sent him to begin the work of converting the English in 597. The letter to Wærferth, composed sometime between 890 and 896, has attracted more scholarly comment than any other portion of the work. It is equally enlightening in its straightforward explanation that the translation is one of a projected series intended to be the cornerstone of an effort instigated by Alfred and his ecclesiastical advisers to restore to vitality the learning in which England had once flourished and which was now hampered by general illiteracy in Latin among the clergy, and even among bishops"--

This empirical study reconstructs relations between the parents of children diagnosed as having special needs and professional members of the healthcare and help systems in Germany. The main focus is on interactions between the different groups of actors along the questions of how important these systems are for stimulating the children's development, and what role is played by the family history of the parents and the present situation of the families. Case examples are presented in this volume of five families with different family histories and different ethnic and religious belongings, and above all with different experiences of professional help.
