Title: Gottes Gegenwarten
Description: According to biblical traditions, the presence of God is promised in different ways. Inquiring into these living presences of God demands and enables a productive conversation of biblical-theological, sytematic-theological, ethical, and historical perspectives as well as social theory and media studies. The contributions to this volume take up this conversation and thus develop impulses for theological thought, the interdisciplinary reflection of religion and the praxis of Christian life and the Christian church. Thereby, the medialisation and the embodiment of divine presence as well as its hiddenness or questionability come into focus, and different traditional and formative perceptions of divine presence in the life of faith or in diaconical work are analysed. In honor of Günter Thomas' 60th birthday this volume encompasses contributions by authors from Germany, the USA, Great Britain, the Netherlands, Denmark, the People's Republic of China, Taiwan, South Africa, Switzerland, and Israel.
