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 Kirchen- und Kulturgeschichte

Die Buchreihe Beiträge zur Kirchen- und Kulturgeschichte wurde 1994 ins Leben gerufen, um Interessenten des Fachkomplexes "Neuzeitliche Kirchengeschichte mit besonderer Berücksichtigung der Institutionen und geistesgeschichtlichen Strömungen" eine Plattform für Veröffentlichungen, die selber ganz unabhängig von kirchlichen Instanzen, aber auch von dominanten Schulen der Geschichtswissenschaft sein sollte. Diese doppelte Unabhängigkeit, verbunden mit dem Impuls, bevorzugt Werke aufzunehmen, die auf primären Quellenstudien beruhen, d.h. bei allem natürlich notwendigen Methodenbewußtsein doch vor allem tatsächlich Unbekanntes ans Licht heben, hat dieser Serie ein eigenes Profil gegeben. Im Lauf der Jahre stellten sich dann zwei Schwerpunkte heraus, die in ihrer Gegensätzlichkeit den Spannungsbogen der jüngeren Kirchengeschichtsforschung darstellen : auf der einen Seite stehen Untersuchungen zur kirchlichen Ämterstruktur, auf der anderen Seite Arbeiten zum Modernismus, resp. der innerkirchlichen Dissidenz im 19. und 20. Jahrhundert.
