Die Beiträge des vorliegenden Bandes gehen in Auseinandersetzung mit Troeltsch, Otto, Barth, Tillich, Pannenberg und Wagner der Frage nach, wie die im Deutschen Idealismus geführte Diskussion um eine angemessene Reaktion auf die Aufklärungstheologie des 18. Jahrhunderts im 20. Jahrhundert nachwirkt. Außerdem untersuchen sie, welche Perspektiven der Rezeption, Kritik und Transformation der Positionen Kants, Schleiermachers, Hegels und Schellings sich bei den genannten Autoren des 20. Jahrhunderts unterscheiden lassen. Ziel des Bandes ist es, einen Beitrag zur Vergegenwärtigung der Frage zu leisten, welche der hierbei virulenten Argumente es in der Systematischen Theologie der Gegenwart weiter zu diskutieren gilt, falls diese nicht in einer unkritischen Übernahme vorausgegangener Positionen des 18., 19. oder 20. Jahrhunderts bestehen will.

Conversion to Islam is a phenomenon of immense significance in human history. At the outset of Islamic rule in the seventh century, Muslims constituted a tiny minority in most areas under their control. But by the beginning of the modern period, they formed the majority in most territories from North Africa to Southeast Asia. Across such diverse lands, peoples, and time periods, conversion was a complex, varied phenomenon. Converts lived in a world of overlapping and competing religious, cultural, social, and familial affiliations, and the effects of turning to Islam played out in every aspect of life. Conversion therefore provides a critical lens for world history, magnifying the constantly evolving array of beliefs, practices, and outlooks that constitute Islam around the globe. This groundbreaking collection of texts, translated from sources in a dozen languages from the seventh to the eighteenth centuries, presents the historical process of conversion to Islam in all its variety and unruly detail, through the eyes of both Muslim and non-Muslim observers.

Oaths, vows, promises, curses - all share family resemblances. They are performatives, carrying illocutionary force. Oaths have rightly been termed, "conditional self-curses", promises have been argued to be but a more developed form of vows, and oaths and vows are often used interchangeably. This book focuses on private vows and oaths including those publically proclaimed. Through analysis of legal, liturgical, mythical and literary works, it seeks to uncover a phenomenology of oaths and vows. Viewing oaths and vows as the human creative force par excellence, it surveys their role in circumscribing and directing both erotic desire and aggression; and so - in their performative function - as standing at the foundation of society and sociability. As acts of trust which establish new obligations understandings of the role of oaths and vows are compared in the Jewish and Christian contexts, in terms of the importance of intentionality in vow making and oath taking, as well as the nature of the obligations ensuing from such locutionary acts. Analysis of the comic and tragic consequences of the violation of marriage oaths as presented in European literature from the 12th to 19th centuries reveals their perception as "habituating" Eros.
