The mission of Christ, which consists in "bringing the good news to the poor, proclaiming liberty to captives, restoring sight to the blind, setting the downtrodden free and the proclamation of the Lord's year of favour" , remains the fundamental basis of the missionary and evangelising vocation of the Church. She has a message to proclaim and that message is the proclamation of making the kingdom of God present in the lives of the people. Through the ages the Church has responded to this command of the Lord to evangelise, using various methods according to different situations and times. Dialogue is a conditio sine qua non in the Church's evangelisation. By con-voking the Second Vatican Council, Pope John gave special attention to the Church's self-knowledge, that is the knowledge of her nature and vocation as well as the realisation of the necessity of dialogue in the Church's pursuit of Church unity and healthy relationships with non-Christian religions and bod-ies. Besides the emphases on the importance of dialogue in the Church's exe-cution of her mission and apostolate of building up the people of God, evi-dence from the human sciences portray the indispensable and invaluable roles of dialogue and communication in a globalised world.}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{Neuberth2000, author = {Neuberth, Ralph}, title = {Demokratie im Volk Gottes?

Synchrone Methoden (angelehnt an die narrativen Analysemethoden von G. Genette und S. Rimmon-Kenan) und die klassische historische Kritik ergaenzen sich dabei. Seitenblicke zeigen die Analogien zwischen dem Leben der christlichen Gemeinden und anderen Organisationen (bspw. Vereine, juedische Diasporasynagoge) in ihrem zeitgenoessischen Umfeld, die Lukas besonders betont. Mit Hilfe der Macht-Theorie von H. Arendt werden die Ergebnisse aus der Apg als Zeugnis f{\"u}r das Bewusstsein einer gemeinsamen Macht aller im Volk Gottes interpretiert, die in demokratischen Formen ihren Ausdruck fand. Auf der Basis der grundlegenden Christenrechte - Freiheit, Gleichheit und Geschwisterlichkeit -, wie sie das NT bezeugt, werden schliesslich Grundz{\"u}ge einer demokratischen Reform der katholischen Kirche erarbeitet.}, subject = {Apostelgeschichte}, language = {de} }
