Adam Neder – författare

Here Adam Neder offers an exploration of the concept of "participation in Christ" in Karl Barth's Church Dogmatics and what it means for understanding Christian faith. He clarifies Barth's claim that humanity as a whole, and human beings individually, participate in Jesus Christ--revelation, election, creation, reconciliation, and redemption all take place in Christ; and their meaning may only be comprehended in Christ. In these acts of inclusion and realization, the creature is incorporated into a fellowship that is nothing less than participation in the being of God.The Columbia Series in Reformed Theology represents a joint commitment by Columbia Theological Seminary and Westminster John Knox Press to provide theological resources from the Reformed tradition for the church today. This series examines theological and ethical issues that confront church and society in our own particular time and place.

What difference does Jesus Christ make for the way we teach the Christian faith?  If he is truly God and truly human, if he reveals God to us and us to ourselves, how might that shape our approach to teaching Christianity? Drawing on the work of Søren Kierkegaard, Karl Barth, and Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Adam Neder offers a clear and creative theological and spiritual reflection on the art of teaching the Christian faith. This engaging book provides a wealth of fresh theological insights and practical suggestions for anyone involved in teaching and learning Christianity.

Theologians today write theology and teach theology, but they rarely write about teaching theology. Compared to the extensive literature on teaching, education, and theological education in general, contemporary theologians have given very little sustained theological attention to the practice of teaching theology. This is especially puzzling when one considers the sheer quantity of time most theologians spend teaching theology, how theologically interesting the practice is, and how valuable a more thoroughly theological pedagogy would be.   Teaching Theology: Reflections Personal and Theological responds to that need. It brings together reflections by leading theologians and biblical scholars, each of whom offers a personal and theological interpretation of their career as a classroom teacher. Representing a wide range of approaches and theological perspectives, each essay provides a distinct angle of vision on the art of teaching and learning the Christian faith. Together, they invite readers to imagine pedagogies animated by the truth theology seeks to explore.
