The philosophy of religion lies at the intersection of theology, philosophy and the theory of religion. The presentation concentrates on Christian traditions as transformed through the European Enlightenment and the present-day re-appropriations of the pragmatic significance of religion. Particular interest is devoted to integrating initiatives from American approaches to the philosophy of religion, which differ from 20th century German Protestant theology in explicitly seeking the connections between nature, religion and science. This affirms the universal significance of the philosophy of religion in the present day.
- Introduction to origins, history and current approaches of philosophy of religion
- Detailed presentation of single paradigms
- Exemplification by interpretations of appropriate original texts
Wilhelm, Law of Companies, covers many legal areas that have undergone intense reform over the last few years. Following an introduction to the system of the law of companies and the history of the stock corporation (AG -Aktiengesellschaft) and the limited liability company (GmbH-Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung), the "neighboring" areas of national capital market regulation and the European aspects are introduced. The next chapters are dedicated to the laws pertaining to the formation of a company and the problems of capitalization, which are essential to the understanding and system of the German law of companies. The following sections describe corporate actions and the appointment of members, the legal relationship in the corporation, the organization of corporations in respect to affiliated groups, and accounting. The second to last chapter introduces the reader to the legal form of the partnership limited by shares (KGaA- Kommanditgesellschaft auf Aktien).

This textbook reveals Paul's thought against the background of his life. The first main section deals with his life and his epistles, and the second main section then presents a thematically structured account of the main themes of Paul's thinking, so that equal weight is given both to its historical genesis and to its structurality.
Recent research in the sociology of knowledge and historical theory sees Paul's theology as a symbolism distinguished by a high level of connectivity. Despite numerous philosophical problems and adverse historical conditions, Paul succeeds in placing his thinking, which is characterised by a messianic universalism, within the existing sense-worlds of Hellenistic culture. This shows how strongly St. Paul's thought was grounded in this culture, and how he was in a position to create a new cognitive and emotional identity in his congregations.
Das Werk führt systematisch in die Probleme der einzelnen Delikte des Besonderen Teils des StGB ein, wobei der Schwerpunkt der Darstellung auf dem Schutzumfang der einzelnen Rechtsgüter und der verschiedenen Angriffsformen liegt.

The textbook introduces all the principles and systematic connections of General Criminal Law Teaching. By presenting and debating current solutions to problems in jurisprudence and legal teaching, it offers the reader the opportunity to comprehend the evolution of assumed premises in General Criminal Law Teaching.
The scope has been extended since the previous edition. This expansion was required on the one hand due to the adoption of new questions and on the other hand due to the emerging clarification, specification and modifications of known problem constellations that arose in the ongoing debate. The following are cited for example: The halting of proximate cause through independently executed self-danger and/or self-damage, a negligence offence, substantial and unsubstantial deviations from real versus imaginary causal effects, the "emergency assistance through torture", the "killing of house tyrannies", the liability of Guarantor's Obligation Arising from Preceding Action ("Ingerenzhaftung") from committing an offence through positive action, the punishment of an unsuitable attempt of a false offence of omission, the "professionally adequate" and "neutral" aid procedure and the competitors.

Die von Georg Fohrer angeregte Fortsetzung seiner „Geschichte der israelitischen Religion" (1969) durch eine Geschichte der jüdischen Religion stellte Autor und Verlag vor nicht geringe Probleme. Es handelt sich um den ersten Versuch einer Darstellung der jüdischen Religionsgeschichte in Gestalt eines solchen Lehrbuches. Die Bewältigung des umfangreichen Stoffes erwies sich nicht zuletzt darum als schwierig, weil die Auswahl der anzuführenden Literaturhinweise nicht zu eng getroffen werden durfte, da ja nicht vorausgesetzt werden konnte, dass jeder Leser Zugang zu den entsprechenden judaistischen Bibliographien und Nachschlagewerken hat, und weil selbst unter den Studierenden der Judaistik eine lebhafte Nachfrage nach einer möglichst umfassenden und thematisch geordneten Bibliographie zur Geschichte der jüdischen Religion besteht.
The book is not only oriented towards students whose interests are centred on history, but also law students in general. The 13 chapters as select examples examine the historical foundations of law and its relation to the present day. The work offers a fascinating approach in the way it combines constitutional, civil and criminal law and examines their interrelation in respect to the history of ideas. The time period extends from the Middle Ages to the contemporary age.
The select main subjects are: The Sachsenspiegel and Medieval Legal Thought, Town Law, Reception of Roman Law, Imperial Law and Imperial Reform, Constitutional Law of the Holy Roman Empire, Natural Law and the Enlightenment, the German League and the Historical School of Law, St. Paul's Church and the Constitutional National State, the Weimar Republic and the National Socialist Perversion of the Legal System, Post-war Germany, European Inheritance and Integration.
The thoroughly revised new edition offers an additional section on the consequences of European legal developments. The detailed and enlarged bibliographies before each chapter make the reading and work book a valuable aid for more advanced studies at the same time. It includes a place, person and subject index.
