"Christentum ist ein plurales Phänomen. Daher hat es innerhalb desselben immer auch Auseinandersetzungen gegeben, die in unterschiedlichen Kontexten ausgetragen worden sind. Streitkulturen sind im Kontext diskursiver Identitätsbildung im Christentum von zentraler Bedeutung. Im vorliegenden Band werden solche Streitkulturen in den Handlungsfeldern Synoden, Politik und theologische Wissenschaft beleuchtet. Dabei werden Epochen der Kirchengeschichte von der Antike bis in die Neuzeit behandelt. Die Beiträge wurden auf der Fachgruppentagung Kirchengeschichte der Wissenschaftlichen Gesellschaft für Theologie vorgestellt, die vom 22. bis 24. April 2022 im Bonifatiushaus in Fulda stattfand." --

"In Roman imperial culture before Constantine (r. 306-337), Christianity was a diverse phenomenon (Fredriksen, 2014). Identities were largely "evolving and fluid" and the distinctions and boundaries between different social groups "whether those traditionally termed heretical and orthodox, or Jew and Christian" were not yet that clear (Paget & Lieu, 2017, p. 2). Christianity was a work-in-progress with no official form, and the process of configuring Christianness in a largely non-Christian world was ongoing (Buell, 2005, p. 26 ebook). From this perspective, it makes more sense to speak about Christianities, even though precisely that plurality would be denied by those seeking to establish a single Christian norm"--

From the Pulitzer-prize winning, New York Times bestselling author, an alarming account of how autocracies work together to undermine the democratic world, and how we should organize to defeat them. We think we know what an autocratic state looks like: There is an all-powerful leader at the top. He controls the police. The police threaten the people with violence. There are evil collaborators, and maybe some brave dissidents. But in the 21st century, that bears little resemblance to reality. Nowadays, autocracies are underpinned not by one dictator, but by sophisticated networks composed of kleptocratic financial structures, surveillance technologies, and professional propagandists, all of which operate across multiple regimes, from China to Russia to Iran. Corrupt companies in one country do business with corrupt companies in another. The police in one country can arm and train the police in another, and propagandists share resources and themes, pounding home the same messages about the weakness of democracy and the evil of America. International condemnation and economic sanctions cannot move the autocrats. Even popular opposition movements, from Venezuela to Hong Kong to Moscow, don't stand a chance. The members of Autocracy, Inc, aren't linked by a unifying ideology, like communism, but rather a common desire for power, wealth, and impunity. In this urgent treatise, which evokes George Kennan's essay calling for 'containment' of the Soviet Union, Anne Applebaum calls for the democracies to fundamentally reorient their policies to fight a new kind of threat"
