Intellectus gratiae : die erkenntnistheoretische und hermeneutische Dimension der Gnadenlehre Augustins von Hippo /
:
This is the first large scale study on the link between the concepts of intellect and grace in the writings of St. Augustine of Hippo. Its five chapters deal with Augustine's writings on grace as they focus on questions concerning epistemology and hermeneutics. Already non-Christian ancient philosophers identified intellectual perfection with salvation as caused by divine grace. Under their influence (I) Augustine developed also his biblical thought (II). The culmination of his concept of intellectus gratiae , however, came in the later works on sacraments (III), hermeneutics (IV) and against Pelagius and Julian of Eclanum (V). This study highlights that development and recommends the concept of intellectus gratiae as a possible key to Augustine's theological thought as a whole.

Inimici gratiae Dei : Augustinus' Konstruktion des Pelagianismus und die Entwicklung seiner Gnadenlehre nach 418 /
:
Augustinus und der Pelagianismus stehen für zwei konträre Positionen christlicher Theologie. Der Pelagianismus ist dabei eine häresiologische Konstruktion von Augustinus, die Auseinandersetzung mit dem Pelagianismus prägte wiederum Augustinus' Gnadenlehre nachhaltig. Die vorliegende Monographie stellt ausgehend von der Analyse der Schrift "̌Contra duas epistulas Pelagianorum" dar, wie Augustinus zwischen 411 und 421 den Pelagianismus als Häresie definierte und zugleich seine Gnadenlehre weiterentwickelte. Als Grundlage verwendete Augustinus dabei das soteriologische Konzept von Heilsstadien. Mit diesem gelang es ihm, verschiedene Themenfelder wie Gnaden- und Sündenlehre, Paulusexegese und Christologie zu verknüpfen und antipelagianisch zu profilieren. Damit findet sich in den antipelagianischen Schriften eine Synthese von Augustinus' später Theologie, wodurch sich viele Querbeziehungen zwischen Augustinus' Antipelagianismus und Auseinandersetzungen mit anderen Häresien aufzeigen lassen.

Creation and salvation dialogue on Abraham Kuyper's legacy for contemporary ecotheology /
:
This volume explores the legacy of the Dutch theologian and statesman Abraham Kuyper for contemporary Christian ecotheology. A crucial problem in ecotheology is how to do justice to both creation and salvation as acts of God, given the impact of the environmental crisis and the concern for creation (as creatura). Can Kuyper help one in this regard, given his controversial legacy, especially in South Africa? The volume explores Kuyper's notions of revelation, common grace and re-creation on this basis. It is structured as an inter-continental dialogue with a set of essays by Ernst Conradie, responses from Clifford Anderson, Vincent Bacote, Hans Engdahl, Dirk van Keulen, Cornelis van der Kooi, Benjamin Myers, Leslie van Rooi and Günter Thomas, and a rejoinder.

Ammianus after Julian : the reign of Valentinian and Valens in Books 26-31 of the Res Gestae /
:
In Books 26-31 Ammianus Marcellinus deals with the period of the emperors Valentinian and Valens. The representatives of the new dynasty differ greatly from their predecessor Julian, both personally and in their style of government. The Empire is divided between the two rulers, and suffers increasingly from barbarian invasions. Faced with these changes, Ammianus adapts his historical method. His treatment of the events becomes less detailed and more critical. The years following on the death of Julian are painted in dark colours, as the disaster at Hadrianople casts its shadow before. The papers in this volume, on History and Historiography, Literary Composition and Crisis of Empire, were presented during the conference \'Ammianus after Julian\' held in 2005.
