Bible in the Christian Orthodox Tradition

This series aims at exploring and evaluating the various aspects of biblical traditions as studied, understood, taught, and lived in the Christian communities that spoke and wrote – and some continue speaking and writing – in the Aramaic, Arabic, Armenian, Coptic, Georgian, Romanian, Syriac, and other languages of the Orthodox family of churches. A particular focus of this series is the incorporation of the various methodologies and hermeneutics used for centuries in these Christian communities, into the contemporary critical approaches, in order to shed light on understanding the message of the Bible. Each monograph in the series will engage in critical examination of issues raised by contemporary biblical research. Scholars in the fields of biblical text, manuscripts, canon, hermeneutics, theology, lectionary, Apocrypha and Pseudepigrapha will have an enormous opportunity to share their academic findings with a worldwide audience. Manuscripts and dissertations, incorporating a variety of approaches and methodologies to studying the Bible in the Eastern and Oriental Orthodox traditions – including, but not limited to, theological, historiographic, philological and literary – are welcome.

Beiträge zur Geschichte des Deutschunterrichts

Ein noch immer zentrales und grundlegendes Unterrichtsfach wie Deutsch spiegelt wie kaum ein anderes den "Geist der Zeiten" (Goethe) wider. Fachgeschichte ist damit eine zentrale Aufgabe der Fachdidaktik, die über historische Bestandsaufnahmen hinaus auch Orientierungen für Gegenwart und Zukunft unserer gesamten sprachlich-literarischen Kommunikationskultur bietet. Die von Joachim S. Hohmann 1988 begründete, von Bodo Lecke weitergeführte und von Christian Dawidowski herausgegebene Schriftenreihe thematisiert die Bedeutung des Faches aus wissenschaftlichen, unterrichtspraktischen, gesellschafts- und bildungspolitischen Perspektiven – insbesondere in Gestalt von Spezialmonografien, Habilitationsschriften, Dissertationen, Forschungsberichten und Sammelwerken. Die Qualität der in dieser Reihe erscheinenden Arbeiten wird vor der Publikation durch den Herausgeber der Reihe geprüft.
