While here in Thailand, I am reading Damien Keown’s Buddhism: A Very Short Introduction (Oxford, 1996). I’m a big fan of the VSI series especially since they are so small, portable and concisely written by scholars. In the opening of his book, Ke...

Hildegund Beimdieke replied to Hildegund Beimdieke's discussion 'Spiritual meaning of family events like marriage and funeral in different cultures'
Brainard, very interesting thoughts. I am completely aware of problems with the term "ritual". We have such an old name in theology for wedding and funeral services or he church role in it. It is called "kasualien" , "liturgy for special services"...

Linkage in Barthian theology
Hi All, I'm a newcomer to CRIAN, but I hope this is the beginning of a long standing relationship. I'm trying to understand linkage between several of Barth's theological positions. If we think of them as dominos arranged in sequence, what happe...
