Theologie fur das Leben
Pladoyer fur eine aufmerksame Kirche. Zum 65. Geburtstag hrsg. von Traudel Himmighofer
by Christian Schad
German description: Theologie und Kirche gehoren untrennbar zusammen. Christian Schad, von 2008 bis 2021 Kirchenprasident der Evangelischen Kirche der Pfalz und seit 2021 Prasident des Evangelischen Bundes, lebt diese Einheit. In 27 ausgewahlten Beitragen, die anlasslich seines 65. Geburtstags in dem vorliegenden Band erstmals gesammelt herausgegeben werden, spannt er in drei Kapiteln einen Bogen von der fur ihn grundlegenden reformatorischen Theologie uber die Gegenwartsbedeutung der innerprotestantischen Kirchenunionen sowie die theologischen Vordenker des 19. und 20. Jahrhunderts hin zu seinem Verstandnis von Kirche. Er pladiert fur eine “aufmerksame Kirche”, die in allen ihren Handlungsfeldern nur dann ihrem Auftrag gerecht wird, wenn sie nicht nur eine mutig agierende, sondern zuerst horende Kirche ist und bleibt. Die umfangreiche Bibliographie Christian Schads dokumentiert dessen vielfaltiges Wirken als evangelischer Theologe und Verantwortungstrager seiner Kirche. English summary: Theology and church belong inseparably together. Christian Schad, church president of the Evangelical Church of the Palatinate in Germany from 2008 to 2021 and president of the Evangelical Federation since 2021, lives this unity. In 27 selected contributions, published here for the first time on the occasion of his 65th birthday, the volume covers a wide range of themes in three chapters: from Reformation theology, which is fundamental for Schad, to the contemporary significance of inner-Protestant church unions, the theological pioneers of the 19th and 20th centuries, up to his understanding of the church. He pleads for an “attentive church,” which will do justice to its mission in all its fields of action only if it is and remains a church that not only acts courageously, but first of all listens. The extensive bibliography of Christian Schad documents his manifold activities as a Protestant theologian and leading figure of his church.
