Theodor Lessing was a German-Jewish philosopher, Zionist, Communist and member of the Prager Kreis. He wrote psychological studies of Judaism and influenced with his main philosophical works Geschichte als Sinngebung des Sinnlosen (1919) and Europa und Asien (1918, and 1924) the German speaking scholars and contemporaries in Germany and elsewhere. He was killed by the Nazis in 1933 as one of the first victims of National Socialism.
In this chapter, the author argues that Herder’s theory of sympathy is informed by his educational practices as a teacher and preacher in Riga (1764 to 1769). In his Riga sermons, Herder develops a model of sympathy that transforms classical rhetorics insofar as it describes the sermon as a mutual interaction between preacher and congregation, thus emphasizing the decisive role of the listening public. This model is informed not only by Herder’s theological, but also by his anthropological and aesthetic reflections in the Riga constellation: Sermon and service are conceptualized as the ideal sphere of observing the ‘modus operandi’ of human feeling and cognition—and of cultivating it at the same time. Within the overarching framework of sympathy, the preacher has to develop specific techniques of “pathos” to activate the senses of his audience and particular ways of empathy to understand its feelings. Most explicitly, Herder develops this model of preaching in his farewell-sermon from Riga in 1769. At the same time, this sermon shows that homiletics are embedded within the specific social and cultural milieus that Herder encounters in German and Latvian congregations in Riga. Last but not least, his farewell-sermon is a medium to defend himself and his concept of preaching against antipathy-driven attacks from local Orthodox-Lutheran clergy.

Deuteronomy 14.3-21
(2021)
The almost verbatim parallels of the dietary laws in Lev. 11 and Deut. 14 have baffled scholars for a long time. We reexamine the evidence, offer a novel approach to determining the direction of dependency, and point out the notable similarities the borrowing bears to Second Temple editorial and redactional practices, drawing on recent Qumran scholarship. We conclude that Deut. 14.3-21 may be one of the earliest specimens of Rewritten Scripture.

Seit Jahrzehnten kämpft die New People’s Army in den Philippinen gegen Ausbeutung und Armut. In den 1980ern Jahren schlossen sich mehrere katholische Priester ihr an und prägten sie. Eine Fraktion, zu der Conrado Balweg (1944-99) gehörte, betonte die Bewahrung der indigenen Kultur. Balweg war Mitglied des Tinguianvolkes, wurde Pater in einem katholischen Orden, stieg in der Guerilla zum Kommandeur auf, war der meistgesuchte „Terrorist“ unter Marcos und initiierte die Errichtung einer Autonomieregion für die Bergvölker. 1999 exekutierte ihn die kommunistische Partei.
Das Buch wertet Zeitzeugenberichte, Korrespondenzen und Archive zu einer exemplarischen Biographie aus. Der Autor hat in den Philippinen gelebt und mehrere Interviewreisen dorthin unternommen.
