Theologische Bücher auf Englisch - eine Auswahl

 

Auf dem englischen Buchmarkt stellt sich ein ähnliches Auswahlproblem wie auf dem deutschen, nur in einer anderen, noch größeren Dimension: das Angebot an guter theologischer Literatur ist immens und dabei doch schwerer zu finden als die lesenswerten deutschen Bücher. Während man in Deutschland zumindest noch vereinzelt Buchläden findet, die mit ihrem Angebot Wert auf Qualität legen, findet man die englischen nur bei Amazon, wenn man sie kennt und so gezielt nach ihnen suchen kann.

Wir stellen Ihnen in unserem EnglishBlog fortlaufend eine kleine Bibliothek zusammen, die wir größtenteils selbst zu Hause haben und mit dessen Hilfe ich auch mein Studium absolviert habe. Noch heute dienen die Bücher mir als Nachschlagewerke und große Hilfe zum Bibelstudium und zur Predigtvorbereitung. Bestellen Sie bei Amazon über unsere Seite, verdienen wir übrigens mit. Sie werden Verständnis dafür haben, dass wir die englischen Bücher nicht auf Lager legen wollen, denn dazu werden sie zu wenig nachgefragt. Der Blog erschien uns als eine elegante Lösung.

Eine weitere Möglichkeit ist auch der Blick in die Hausaufgaben meines Studiums. Leider wird der Studiengang MA in Biblical Studies auch an meinem Seminar so nicht mehr angeboten. Das Angebot, allein die Schrift zu studieren, wird immer mehr verdrängt. Entsprechend wird heute leider auch immer weniger auslegend gepredigt und es überwiegen Themenpredigten.

Das Studium ist mir der größte Schatz, den mir keiner mehr nehmen kann. Ich würde mich freuen, wenn auch Sie daraus schöpfen können. Schauen Sie rein, greifen Sie zu.

A Place at the Table - Biography of George E. Ladd

A Place at the Table -

George Eldon Ladd and the Rehabilitation of Evangelical Scholarship in America

What a read!...D'Elia has written a superb biography of Ladd, I had trouble putting it down, it is clear, well-sourced, and succint...This volume is necessary reading for anyone who wants to understand how evangelicalism emerged from the separatist shadows of the 1950s in America and how it eventually won a place at the table of modern academia. I commend this book also to evangelical scholars so as to be reminded that the best of men are men at best. Michael Bird, Euangelion

 

George Eldon Ladd was a pivotal figure in the resurgence of evangelical scholarship in America during the years after the Second World War. Ladd's career as a biblical scholar can be seen as a quest to rehabilitate evangelical thought both in content and image, a task he pursued at great personal cost. Best known for his work on the doctrine of the Kingdom of God, Ladd moved from critiquing his own movement to engaging many of the important theological and exegetical issues of his day. Ladd was a strong critic of dispensationalism, the dominant theological system in conservative evangelicalism and fundamentalism, challenging what he perceived to be its anti-intellectualism and uncritical approach to the Bible.

In his impressive career at Fuller Theological Seminary, Ladd participated in scholarly debates on the relationship between faith and historical understanding, arguing that modern critical methodologies need not preclude orthodox Christian belief. Ladd also engaged the thought of Rudolf Bultmann, the dominant theological figure of his day. Ladd's main focus, however, was to create a work of scholarship from an evangelical perspective that the broader academic world would accept. When he was unsuccessful in this effort he descended into depression, bitterness and alcoholism. But Ladd played an important part in opening doors for later generations of evangelical scholars, both by validating and using critical methods in his own scholarly work, and also by entering into dialogue with theologians and theologies outside the evangelical world. It is a central theme of this book that Ladd's achievement, at least in part, can be measured in the number of evangelical scholars who are today active participants in academic life across a broad range of disciplines.

 

Lit!: A Christian Guide to Reading Books

Lit!: A Christian Guide to Reading Books

I love to read. I hate to read.

I don't have time to read. I only read Christian books.

I'm not good at reading. There's too much to read.

Chances are, you've thought or said one of these exact phrases before because reading is important and in many ways unavoidable.

Learn how to better read, what to read, when to read, and why you should read with this helpful guide from accomplished reader Tony Reinke. Offered here is theology for reading and practical suggestions for reading widely, reading well, and for making it all worthwhile.

 

The book is introduced and recommended in lofty terms by well-known scholars, so I started reading. Just after a few pages I found myself in agreement with Reinke who first challenges you with the same point that we make here in our bookstore: There are millions of books available on the market, so we have to choose carefully for ourselves. "Success requires planning", says the author. So we best start reading this book and then carefully proceed with the best choices of books that really benefit our lives.
