Mapping the Differentiated Consensus of the Joint Declaration
This book uses the insights of cognitive linguistics to argue for the possibility of differentiated consensus between separated churches. The Joint Declaration on the Doctrine of Justification, signed by the Lutheran World Federation and the Roman Catholic Church in 1999, represents the high water mark of the twentieth-century ecumenical movement. It declares that the sixteenth-century condemnations related to justification do not condemn the teachings of the partner church. Some critics reject the agreement, arguing that a consensus that is differentiated is not actually a consensus. In this book, Jakob Karl Rinderknecht shows that mapping the "cognitive blends" that structure meaning can reveal underlying agreement within apparent theological contradictions. He traces Lutheran and Catholic positions on sin in the baptized, especially the Lutheran simul iustus et peccator and the Catholic insistence that concupiscence in the baptized is not sin. He demonstrates that the JDDJ reconciles these positions, and therefore that a truly differentiated consensus is possible.
Die Leuenberger Konkordie im multikulturellen und multireligiösen Kontext
Die Leuenberger Konkordie hat 1973 die 450-jährige Trennung der evangelischen Kirchen verschiedener reformatorischer Traditionen überwunden. Die Beiträge in diesem Band dokumentieren eine Tagung, die zum 50-jährigen Jubiläum 2023 in Bratislava stattgefunden hat. Sie beschäftigen sich vor allem mit den theologischen und methodischen Fragen der Leuenberger Konkordie als einem ökumenischem Dialogdokument, aber auch mit spezifischen Herausforderungen der kirchlichen Existenz in “versöhnter Vielfalt”. Eine Betrachtung der Leuenberger Konkordie verlangt heute auch eine Berücksichtigung der vielfältigen Weiterarbeit in theologisch-dogmatischen, praktisch-pastoralen und anderen Fragen, die sie angestoßen hat. Manche Beiträge beschäftigen sich daher auch mit neueren Arbeiten der aus der Leuenberger Konkordie hervorgegangenen Gemeinschaft Evangelischer Kirchen in Europa (GEKE). Oliver Engelhardt (GEKE)

This volume differs from many quincentennial discussions of the Protestant Reformation—and ecumenical scholarship more generally—in that it shifts the focus from Europe and the West to the global South, where ecumenism’s promises and challenges are quite different. In postcolonial and post-missionary Africa, the churches continue to expand, competition among denominations is lively, and Christian rivalry with Islam is often a reality. In Latin America, Protestants have severely eroded the Catholic Church’s hegemony, originally forged in the zeal of the Counter-Reformation to combat the perceived errors of Luther and Calvin. In India, the Christian churches are a tiny, beleaguered minority facing an increasingly militant Hindu nationalism. These essays pay close attention to the different contexts of intra-Christian relationships worldwide—the actual situation on the ground. If ecumenism will succeed, it cannot be simply a matter of experts at a conference attempting to agree about doctrines abstracted from the contexts in which they were forged, the contexts in which doctrinal disagreements caused ecclesial ruptures, or the contexts in which Christians continue to live out our divided existence. This volume attempts to be sensitive to the lived experience of divided Christians in whatever part of the world they find themselves.
