Publisher's Synopsis
"Justice" - that is the claim of the "Bible in righteous language". She wants to do women justice, help Jewish traditions gain their rights and stand up for social justice. Does it live up to its claim? Or is it a Bible for a church progressive elite and not for those who need a Bible in everyday life, in life and in death, in insoluble conflicts? The contributions in this book discuss the arguments for and against the new Bible and the majority come to a critical judgment, while a minority emphasizes its necessity. The authors are Karin Bornkamm, Irmtraud Fischer, Elisabeth Gössmann, Walter Groß, Othmar Keel, Melanie Köhlmoos, Ulrich H.J. Körtner, Gerhard Langer, Hermann Lichtenberger, Elisabeth Moltmann-Wendel, Matthias Morgenstern, Jens Schröter, Helen Schüngel-Straumann, Ludger Schwienhorst-Schönberger, Thomas Staubli, Ekkehard Stegemann, Wolfgang Stegemann, Ulrich Wilckens and Ina Willi-Plein.
