SOCIALIA – Studienreihe soziologische Forschungsergebnisse

An Alternative Look at Relational Agency Theory Based on the Colombian Case

Studien zur Konflikt- und Friedensforschung

A painful reality persists in the 21st century: The various faces of violence are troubling as ever, manifesting themselves not only in brutal wars but also concealed within inequality, poverty, and injustice.

Direct, structural, and symbolic violence erodes the lives of millions of people every day, causing immense suffering. One might assume that war robs individuals of their motivation to move forward and overcome hardship. However, what happens when this…

Quantitative Growth or Authentic Witnessing to the Gospel?

Catholic Church in Nigeria and the Challenges of Religious Violence

THEOS – Studienreihe Theologische Forschungsergebnisse

This book argues that the Church as people of God, but most particularly, the Catholic Church, fulfils her mission as instrument of salvation when she proclaims the message of Christ to a people in their concrete existential situation. In carrying out this mission, the historical context, cultural and religious heritage, socio-economic reality and tribal differences of the people must never be ignored. Besides, the Church can only succeed in this mission when she…

Challenges of Society

EUB. Erziehung – Unterricht – Bildung

Speaking of interdisciplinary influences on education, the study of human psychology - probing into cognition, motivation, behavior and performance - has become a key pillar in that area.

Uganda, Germany and the International Criminal System

Strafrecht in Forschung und Praxis

On the premise that the duty of states to prosecute international crimes is a fairly new development, this book assesses the extent to which Uganda is meeting this obligation, using the international criminal justice system as a benchmark and the German criminal justice system as a ’best practices’ case study. The viability of law and justice structures to redress these crimes is evaluated through a comparative lens restricted to ’gendered’ international crimes, which…

Theological Ethical Moral Series (TEMS) Vol. 1

Essays on Community Ethics and Divine-Human-Relationship

THEOS – Studienreihe Theologische Forschungsergebnisse

Dieses Buch unterstreicht, dass die Entwicklung (des Menschen) integral sein sollte und nicht lediglich rational; sie sollte die unvergängliche Berufung des Menschen mit einschließen. Es wäre ein fataler Irrtum, eine Entwicklung zu erwägen, die lediglich den sozialen Aspekt des menschlichen Lebens hervorhebt und den geistigen Aspekt missachtet.

Dieses Buch zeigt auf, dass eine integrierte moralische Erziehung durch das Schulsystem während der ersten Jahre der…

African Theology of Solidarity and Religion of Self-Deceit

The Nigerian Experience

They use religious events, gatherings and discussions to gain political advantage; businessmen and women use religion as an advertising mechanism. The genuine religiosity of Nigerians has become in itself a problem. It has created…
