What happens to the Gospel when you put other loyalties into positions of power in Christian life and practice? You get deformations, distortions, and caricatures of Christianity - killing in the name of love, defense of worldwide systems of domination, idolization of the nation instead of the membership in the global body of Christ, and baptism of exploitative and destructive economic ideologies. You get much of what world sees as contemporar...

Die Zustandsbewertung einer elektrischen Isolierung mittels diagnostischer Messmethoden erfolgt zumeist mit integrierenden Verfahren, wie z.B. dielektrische Kennwerte oder - zur Erkennung lokaler Schädigungen, wie z.B. Mikrohohlräumen - mit Teilentladungs-(TE-)messungen. Für die zustandsorientierte Instandhaltung und Wartung von elektrischen Betriebsmitteln gewinnt die Teilentladungsmesstechnik und -analyse mehr und mehr an Bedeutung, da es du...

The question, "What does it mean to be 'the church'?" has always been among the most controversial and of vital concern to political, economic, and ecclesial leaders alike. How it is answered influences whether Christianity will be a force for legitimating or subverting existing secular relations of power, influence, and privilege. The Church as Counterculture enters the debates on Christian identity, purpose, and organization by calling for t...

This volume takes its title from the first-century Christian catechism called the Didache: "Even as this broken bread was scattered over the hills . . . gathered together and became one, so let Your Church be gathered together from the ends of the earth." For Christians today, these words remain relevant in an era of massive human movements (voluntary and coerced), hybrid identities, and wide-ranging cultural interactions. How do modern Christ...

It's a simple claim, really - that for Christians, "being a Christian" should be their primary allegiance and identity. For those who proclaim Jesus as Lord, this identity should supersede all others, and this loyalty should trump all lesser ones. It may be a simple claim, but it is a controversial one for many people, Christians and non-Christians alike. The Borders of Baptism uses the idea of solidarity among Christians as a lens through w...

He has captured the imagination of people around the world, including those who thought they were "done with" Christianity. In ways no one could have expected and no one predicted, Pope Francis has become a living example of what it might mean to be a Christian in our time and place.

These days "getting religion" is generally considered a rather quaint thing of the past. "Getting spirituality, " on the other hand, is the hottest thing on the market. In fact, corporate-sponsored spiritual salve is becoming the most popular prescription for the overworked and soul-weary employees. But for many Christians, this antidote has become its own epidemic. How is this epidemic infecting the church? How should the church respond as a ...

Author Michael Budde provides a unique examination of global for-profit industries--television, advertising, movies--and their impact upon Christian practice. He calls for the Christian community to radically re-emphasize the subversive theme of the Gospel and to embrace its role as countercultural alternative.

The single most important change now well under way within Catholicism is its transition from a First World to a Third World entity. How this enormous shift will affect the Catholic church's role in the world economy is the subject of Michael L. Budde's book, the first world systems study of the mutual interaction of religion and political economy in the 1990s.Budde's argument here is twofold. He contends that world Catholicism, led by its Thi...
