Es handelt sich um Erfahrungen, die sich nicht oder nur bedingt als Erfahrungen eines Subjekts von einem Objekt beschreiben lassen. Besonders in den Blick genommen wird die Relevanz ungegenst{\"a}ndlicher Erfahrungen sowohl f{\"u}r die Semantik religi{\"o}ser Rede als auch f{\"u}r die Epistemologie religi{\"o}ser {\"U}berzeugungen. In diesem Zusammenhang wird argumentiert, dass die kognitive Relevanz dieser Erfahrungen davon abh{\"a}ngt, ob sie innerhalb eines weltanschaulichen Paradigmas einen Beitrag zu einem koh{\"a}renten und umfassenden Verst{\"a}ndnis der uns begegnenden Wirklichkeit leisten.}, language = {de} } @article{Ziebertz2021, author = {Ziebertz, Hans-Georg}, title = {Introduction to the special issue: Religion and human rights: complementary or contrary}, series = {Religions}, volume = {12}, journal = {Religions}, number = {2}, issn = {2077-1444}, doi = {10.3390/rel12020109}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-228798}, year = {2021}, abstract = {No abstract available}, language = {en} } @article{EbnerOstheimerSautermeister2020, author = {Ebner, Katharina and Ostheimer, Jochen and Sautermeister, Jochen}, title = {The role of religious beliefs for the acceptance of xenotransplantation.

This also applies to the field of hospital chaplaincy. So far, there has been no empirical exploration of the assessment and acceptance of xenotransplantation by pastoral workers in German-speaking countries. In view of the prospect of clinical trials, in-depth research is both sensible and necessary, since both xeno- and allotransplantation can have far-reaching consequences for patients, their relatives, and the social environment. In addition to the tasks of health monitoring, questions of the individual handling with and integration of a xenotransplant must also be considered. They can affect one's own identity and self-image and thus also affect religious dimensions. Hence, they make a comprehensive range of accompaniment necessary. Methods This paper presents the first explorative results of a Dialogue Board with Christian, Jewish, and Muslim hospital chaplains. It explores pastoral challenges of xenotransplantation for the German-speaking countries, in particular (a) self-image and tasks of hospital pastoral care, (b) religious aspects of transplantation, and (c) religious aspects of xenotransplantation as anticipated by the hospital pastors. Results Depending on their religious background, hospital chaplains see different pastoral challenges when xenotransplantation reaches clinical stage. In particular, the effects on the identity and religious self-image of those affected must be taken into account. Three desiderata or recommendations for action emerged from the Dialogue Board: (a) initial, advanced and further training for hospital pastoral workers, (b) contact points for patients, and (c) interreligious cooperation and a joint statement. All participants of the Dialogue Board emphasized the chances of xenotransplantation and expressed their hope that xenogenic transplants could save patients or improve the quality of their life substantially. Conclusions Xenotransplantation can affect the identity work of patients and relatives also in religious terms. In order to provide better pastoral and psychosocial support for these persons within the framework of the hospital, it is important to reflect on such challenges at an early stage and to develop concepts for pastoral further training and pastoral care in xenotransplantation.}, language = {en} } @article{Keul2022, author = {Keul, Hildegund}, title = {Vulnerability, vulnerance and resilience — spiritual abuse and sexual violence in new spiritual communities}, series = {Religions}, volume = {13}, journal = {Religions}, number = {5}, issn = {2077-1444}, doi = {10.3390/rel13050425}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-275264}, year = {2022}, abstract = {In February 2017, Braz de Aviz, Prefect of the Congregation for Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life, acknowledged in an interview that some 70 "new spiritual movements" were under investigation for abusive behavior committed by their founders. The number of cases that remain undetected is probably large. This article uses the example of these communities to analyze the precarious tension between vulnerability, vulnerance, and resilience. It draws on C{\´e}line Hoyeau's excellent study of those founders of new spiritual movements in France who were later exposed as abusers. It also presents my research on the sacred in its dangerous connection to the victimizing sacrifice. My basic thesis is that exploring the link between vulnerability and resilience is not enough. Rather, vulnerance needs to be systematically included in the analyses. This new approach opens up a more complex understanding of abuse, cover-ups, and disclosure. It can tackle both the vulnerant resilience of the perpetrators and the voluntary vulnerability of survivors in disclosing abuse.}, language = {en} } @article{MuellerTornau2018, author = {M{\"u}ller, Christof and Tornau, Christian}, title = {„Unfreundlichkeit und Polemik im Briefkorpus Augustins"}, series = {Zeitschrift f{\"u}r Antikes Christentum}, volume = {22}, journal = {Zeitschrift f{\"u}r Antikes Christentum}, number = {1}, issn = {1612-961X}, doi = {10.1515/zac-2018-0011}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-198437}, pages = {1 -- 4}, year = {2018}, abstract = {Kein Abstract verf{\"u}gbar.}, language = {de} }
