New Publications Catalog Theology, Judaism, Religion - 2008/09

Dear Readers,

Cover Neuerscheinungsverzeichnis 15 years of the World Wide Web has changed our world, not to mention the world of the academics, students, and publishers. The internet has long since proven itself to be a useful tool for researching and ordering books. But also the academic subject matter itself is increasingly going online. The de Gruyter journals and yearbooks, online since 2002, will be offered on a new platform this year with many useful features: www. reference-global.com. Selected new publications will gradually be made available as eBooks. Our latest endeavor, Encyclopedia of the Bible and Its Reception (EBR), will be launched with an onlineversion at the end of the year (p. 2 and front inside cover), supplemented by a digital version of the Theologische Realenzyklopädie (TRE).

However, de Gruyter will continue to publish high quality, timelessly reliable, and sophisticatedly crafted books in the "classic" format. This includes user friendly academic handbooks (e.g. on Philosophy of Religion by Hermann Deuser or Christian Spirituality by Corinna Dahlgrün), affordable text editions (inter alia Schleiermacher’s The Christian Faith as well as his complete Pedagogics for the first time; selected texts from P. Tillich; the New Approaches to the Study of Religion in paperback) as well as numerous other works in the accustomed quality. I would like to especially bring to your attention the launch of a new edition of the works of Origen. These Greek and Latin texts, written by a father of the Christian Church, are made accessible through a modern German translation (p. 17). The Neue Wettstein’s comprehensive collection of texts from ancient Greece and Hellenism to the New Testament is continued in volume I/1.1 on the Gospel According to Mark. In 2009, a new series, Ekstasis, will document the research on religious experiences from Antiquity to the Middle Ages (p. 21). The editions of the works of Schleiermacher, Kierkegaard, Troeltsch, and Tillich will be complemented by further interesting volumes.

We are very proud that the 100th edition of the Journal for the Study of the New Testament (Zeitschrift für die neutestamentliche Wissenschaft) will be printed in 2009. We are thankful to all the authors that have contributed here and elsewhere to the high quality of our publications.

Please enjoy exploring our website and our printed titles.

Sincerely yours,
Dr. Albrecht Döhnert
