Studien zur baptistischen Theologie. Teil 2: Taufe - Abendmahl - Okumene
by Uwe Swarat
German description: Der Baptismus ist eine weltweit verbreitete evangelisch-freikirchliche Denomination, deren Theologie aus der Reformation erwachsen ist und in diesem Rahmen eigene Akzente setzt. Gerade bei den Themen Taufe und Abendmahl lassen sich Gemeinsamkeiten und Unterschiede zur ubrigen evangelischen Theologie gut erkennen. Der Autor verarbeitet dazu nicht nur die deutschsprachige, sondern auch die englischsprachige baptistische Theologie. Ihre Ertrage werden selbstkritisch reflektiert und weiterentwickelt. Ausserdem enthalt der Band mehrere Studien zum Engagement von Baptisten in okumenischen Dialogen. Das Buch ist sowohl fur Angehorige von Freikirchen relevant als auch fur konfessionskundlich und okumenisch interessierte Theologen anderer Kirchen. English summary: The Baptists are a global free church denomination whose theology developed out of the Reformation and has its own distinctive features. Similarities and differences with other strands of Protestant theology are readily apparent, especially regarding Baptism and Lord’ Supper (Eucharist). The author discusses not only the theology of the German-speaking Baptists, but also that of the English-speaking Baptist theologians. The book contains self-critical reflection and further development of theological positions. It also includes several studies on Baptist involvement in ecumenical dialogues. It is relevant to members of free churches as well as to theologians from other churches who are interested in confessional and ecumenical studies.
