Christ. The Christian Experience in the Modern World focuses on the question of salvation for all people. Using seven 'anthropological constants', Schillebeeckx innovatively shows the social and political relevance of faith. Inspired by liberation and feminist theologies, he puts strong emphasis on human experience and on the importance of examining church teaching in its historical context. This volume is a testimony of Schillebeeckx' ground breaking attempt to rethink doctrine in the light of the research on the historical Jesus. Instead of starting with Christianity's great creedal statements about Christ and the Trinity, he focuses on the subjective experience of the first generations of believers as expressed in the New Testament. This choice stirred considerable controversy and a Vatican investigation but inspired and still keeps to inspire readers in their personal approach to Christian faith.
The existence of the historical Jesus cannot be doubted. But who was Jesus of Nazareth? And who is he for us today? In this controversial work Schillebeeckx offers his 'experiment': an informative and sustained hermeneutical reflection on the story of Jesus. It became a bestseller, and would become the first volume of Schillebeeckx' trilogy on Jesus Christ. He presents a Christology 'from below', rooted in the synoptic gospels, but especially in Mark and in the Q tradition. At the same time he is clearly interested in portraying 'the historical Jesus' as both Proclaimer and Proclaimed. In this major work Schillebeeckx tries to answer questions such as: Is the promise of salvation only to be found in Jesus Christ because he was a gift from God, as the Gospels tell us? What can we say about the inspiration of so many who do not attend church or adhere to any believe they find in Jesus Christ? Schillebeeckx takes us into his promising quest that leads to the ultimate question of what religious truth actually is.
1 Looseleaf Volume. Appendices.Index. Updated Annually or When NeededADR Law and Practice is a treatise and reference work written for the practicing lawyer. It provides the practitioner with a broad and easily accessible treatment of the law and practice of ADR. The book?s primary focus is on the representation of clients through the use of those procedures. Practitioners who seek commentary and analysis of some discrete and identified problem that they are facing should be able to use the various sections and subsections more or less independently. The organization of the text also accommodates lawyers who wishes to address dispute resolution more comprehensively, by working through the subject with a certain logic ? beginning with definitions of procedural forms, then adding notes on the selection of a particular form and the practice considerations that go with it, through the uses of ADR both pre and post-dispute and from there to the legal questions that might arise along the way. The book concludes with a set of Appendices containing some of the most commonly referred-to statutes and frequently used forms and sample clauses. Cross-references link selected parts of the forms to related discussions elsewhere in the text.
