Highlights from our  theology programme

Melanie Köhlmoos
Old Testament
UTB basics
VIII, 334 pages
€ 19,90
ISBN 978-3-8252-3460-7

BA-students of theology usually only take a few classes in Old Testament Studies – an exceedingly complex field of theology. Their perspective however is often focused on the later teaching practice and their perception of the Old Testament is affected by the Christian reception. They lack an overview of the history, development and theology of the Old Testament, which makes it difficult for them to teach these subjects in an appropriate manner. This textbook is tailored to the particular needs of first-year students and therefore offers a compact and comprehensible introduction to the historical, literary and theological basics of Old Testament Studies without requiring any background knowledge in biblical exegesis or Hebrew and Greek.
The author is chair for Old Testament at the Goethe-University in Frankfurt/Main.

Of all the personalities of Early Christianity, Paul is the only one who is distinctly tangible in historical, biographical and literary terms. At the same time, Paul is the most influential missionary and theologian among the apostles. For all students of theology, Paul is a central subject of study. The present textbook serves as interdenominational introduction to the research concerning Paulus. Tables, bibliographical references and glossaries of persons and places of the antiquity help students to prepare for university classes and exams.
For this second edition, the book has been completely revised and supplemented with two additional chapters on the Political World of Paulus and on the Cities of Paulus.
Prof. (em.) Dr. Oda Wischmeyer was chair for New Testament at the Friedrich-Alexander-University in Erlangen-Nürnberg.

Homiletics is a key subject of theology. In dialogue with the other theological disciplines and with related fields of arts and humanities it establishes criteria for a contemporary culture of the sermon.
Drawing from current research, Wilfried Engemann in his standard work explains the peconditions, reasons, paradigms and points of view of homiletics. Furthermore classical and new methods of sermon analysis are presented. Containing case studies, illustrations as well as practical hints, Engemann’s work serves as textbook, authoritative reference work and stimulating workbook.
The author is chair for practical theology at the University of Vienna.
