on the Old TestamentA team of international editorial board members and authors presents a multi­perspective, innovative and intensive interpretation of the books of the Old Testa­ment in about 50 volumes.

IECOT combines an international orientation with ecumenical broadness and brings together two, often opposed perspectives, described as “synchronic“ and “diachronic“.

Each volume appears both in English and German. Three to four volumes are published every year. The delay between the respective original and its translated version does not exceed two years.

The origin of the Old Testament 594 pages, € 36,99 ISBN: 978-3-17-020354-9

This teaching and textbook describes the biblical writings, first by content and structure, and then follows their process of coming into being back to the respective reason for their origin. The framework for this is the canon of the Hebrew Bible, which is defined in the intro-ductory section by the Greek and Christian Bible and the so-called Apocrypha. The four parts of the volume are introduced by overview chapters: the Pentateuch as a whole, the Deuteronomistic historical work, the phenomenon of prophecy and Hebrew poetry. The author also appropriately discusses the progress and current state of research. Comprehensive bibliographies characterise the entire work. Anyone wishing to intensively examine the Old Testament and its origins will obtain sound information here.

Erich Zenger / Christian Frevel u.a.

Introduction to the Old Testament 8th revised and extended edition

878 pages, € 29,90 ISBN: 978-3-17-022165-9

This Textbook provides an introduction to the „big“ (catholic) canon of the Christian Old Testament. The „Old Testament“ is the holy scripture of the Jews and Christians: the Torah/Pentateuch, the books of history, the books of wisdom and the prophets. The origin of each book is embedded into its historical und religious context, so that it proven to be an effect of the Israeli history of belief. The author especially reflects on the dual character of the Old Testament as (unifying and separating) Bible of Jews and Christians. Thus the current relevance of the Old Testaments is demonstrated.

For the new, 8th edition all contributions have been brought up to date. Comprehensibility especially for students lay at the centre of the new edition. Most contributions by Erich Zenger have been modified carefully and only the parts on the Pentateuch and the Psalms has been modified more intensely.

Introduction to the New Testament2nd revised and updated edition

604 pages, € 29,90 ISBN: 978-3-17-023093-4

Well-structured and easy to read the authors of this textbook present this introduction on level with the current academic debate. The writings are at the centre of the work. They are organised in four thematic blocks, preceded by general topics (questions on synopsis, pseudepigrapha). Every writing is analyzed following its structure, its genesis (time, place, author, sources, and hypothesis of separation) and its specific discussion (cultural milieu, situation, content).

Islamic theology and religious education in Europe340 pages, € 29,80 ISBN: 978-3-17-021936-6

The number of Muslims in Europe is growing, as is the need for Islamic education and training institutions. The integration of Islamic theology and religious education into European higher education creates challenges for both sides. Özdil explains the history of Islamic theology and law schools in Islam and presents Centres of Islamic Studies in Europe and in the Islamic world. In doing so, he provides an overview of 31 institutions in 13 countries.

One focus of his research deals with questions relating to the constitutions of Islamic professorships in Germany, which have still not been satisfactorily answered. Islamic chairs have already been institutionally rooted at several universities, a factor that the author discusses in detail. The volume includes a comprehensive appendix with summaries, addresses and further information on the educatio-nal institutions examined.

Europe and the Empire during the Thirty Years‘ WarHistory of a European conflict

2nd edition 238 pages, € 29,90 ISBN: 978-3-17-023667-7

The Thirty Years‘ War originated from political sectarian disputes in the Holy Roman Empire, but then became one of the biggest war disasters of modern times, in which many European powers were involved. How the conflict could take on such a destructive dynamic is the question that lies at the heart of the book. As a peace settlement failed to materialise in the Empire, the trouble spots in Europe gradually and unstoppably spread through the Empire. That is how the war entered its devastating escalation phase and finally became a European conflict. The warfare, the composition of the mercenary armies and finally the Peace Congress that ended the war were also European.

Martyr worship in early Christianity Evidence and cultural impact

208 pages, € 29,90 ISBN: 978-3-17-024142-8

Martyr worship is an important element of the Christian faith and was essential both for the internal cohesion of the faith group in its early founding phase as well as for its effective portrayal to the outside world, which was used for the conversion of non-Christians.

This volume considers the evidence of martyr worship and demons-trates how the cult and worship of martyrs prevailed in Late Antiquity, culturally shaped society and how the idea of martyr worship still has a stylistic impact today. The „martyrs“ of 9/11 are examples of this long line of continuity, when one compares the early lives of the Saints with modern Islamic websites.

270 pages, € 26,90 ISBN: 978-3-17-021152-0

The debate on „Islamic feminism“ and „gender jihad“ is becoming increasingly relevant and growing in intensity in Europe, and especially in recent years in the German-speaking region. Within the context of Western feminism and Western feminist theology, intercultural and/or inter-religious dialogue is growing in importan-ce, above all in the process of political decision-making. The articles in this book provide a comprehensive insight into this discourse focussing on the following main topics: Female Koranic exegesis and textual hermeneutics - Islamic feminism and the discussion of social and political action strategies - Women‘s rights as human rights and the situation of Muslim women with and without a migrant backg-round - Forms, tasks, and problem/conflict zones of intercultural and/or inter-religious dialogue.

Hitler as a symbolic politician473 pages, € 49,99 ISBN: 978-3-17-025191-5

The persona of Hitler is well researched, yet there are still many unanswered questions that need to be raised about the success of the „Corporal from Braunau“. The fact that Hitler knew how to lead and that he exercised “charismatic authority“, is widely recognised, but little research has been undertaken to date about how Hitler was able to develop into this „charismatic ruler“.

This work makes clear that actively controlled symbolic communicati-on, associated with Hitler, became a strategy of Nazi rule, which specifically used the asymmetrical and polycratic structures of the state.

History of football in Germany and Europe since 1954184 pages, € 24,90 ISBN: 978-3-17-022641-8

Football thrills the masses - and not just in Germany. In recent years, historical science has therefore also considered the phenomenon of football within the context of everyday life and social history, with social historians particularly interested in the social, societal and economic connections of the sport. The German Football League has experienced a steady upward trend since it was founded; however the German Bundesliga scandal of the 1970s demonstrates that this path has not been as straightforward, as is believed. The focus of the book is the growth of the German Bundesliga, as it has evolved as a link between society and sport. The book is thus an inventory of the state of modern football.

The Pharaoh266 pages, € 24,90 ISBN: 978-3-17-021658-7

For over 3000 years he protected, ruled and stood for Egypt: the pharaoh. His person guaranteed the existence of the country, he defended it against its enemies and kept the world from falling into chaos. Over 330 kings from 30 dynasties ruled an empire that lasted longer than any other after it. Beginning with the description of the office, the work describes the role of the pharaoh as son of the sun, god himself, as well as his tasks as priest to the gods and his country.

As a ruler he was mainly a warrior, a fact that every traveller to Egypt can see in countless pictures. But he also was at the top of the administration, chief justice and owner of everything below, on or above earth.

Frederick the 2nd, the Great, „Old Fritz“, lives in German imagination up to today. His love for philosophy and art often veils the highly risky policy of the Silesian wars and Seven Years? War, which nearly led to the downfall of Prussia. Vivid, critical and academically sound the work demonstrates how Frederick influenced and changed his time. A basic overview over the history of the king, his different roles and functions as regent, officer, builder, collector and patron of the arts is given. Additionally his self-image as well as his survival as scholar king is addressed. These functions are linked with the history of Potsdam and Prussia, thus creating an exciting overview of the late 18th century.

Henry VIII of EnglandLife – Rule – Impact

318 pages, € 24,90 ISBN: 978-3-17-021900-7

Apart from Elizabeth I, Henry VIII is the most powerful English king in the 16th century. Thanks to his far-sighted policy, he succeeded in creating the basis for the British Empire. Today we know this important ruler predominantly because of his many wives; but he is significantly more important as the founder of the English state church and because of his disputes with Parliament, the nobility and other rulers in Europe. In addition, the Early Modern state was also formed during his reign. The author briefly sketches the life of the King, but the subsequent focus of his presentation is on a thematical-ly structured history of England.

The Cistercians318 pages, € 26,90 ISBN: 978-3-17-022142-0

Cistercians are the reform order of Benedictine monks dating back to the High Middle Ages. As ingenious technical designers, they laid down the basis for intensive agriculture. Their ideal of piety was far ahead of the mendicant orders and made the Benedictine order attractive again in the time of the Investiture Controversy.

The book covers the history of the Cistercians from their foundation by Robert of Molesme and Bernard of Clairvaux, through their cultural, scientific and social function in the Middle Ages to the present day, although its focal point - the importance of the order - was in the Middle Ages.

Analytical psychology, according to C.G.

The book introduces the basics of analytical psychology and gives readers a check-list with eight cognition tasks, which enab-le them to explore the dimensions of their own individuation and meaningfully execute key stimuli. The author presents C. G. Jung‘s world of ideas in an outstanding professional manner, at the same time clearly calling upon many examples from everyday life.

Western RomeFrom Honorius to Justinian

240 pages, € 24,90 ISBN: 978-3-17-023276-1

The West of the Roman Empire experienced a chain of dramatic events and development from 396 AD onwards. The last Western emperor was deposed in 476 AD and Justinian abolished the Western Roman court in 554 AD. These events, which mark the transition from antiquity to the Middle Ages in Europe, are often explained by a „civic migration“. However, this book, by contrast, highlights internal Roman conflicts: Western Rome was not conquered. Its successive empires only superseded the authority of the imperial government, when endless civil wars had led to the collapse of Roman rule. A systematic overview of Empire, administration, army, economy and religion completes the presentation.

The many colours of autism Spectrum, cause, diagnosis, therapy and advice

188 pages, € 24,90 ISBN: 978-3-17-023352-2

The author of this work presents a modern approach that is only now gradually starting to become established in German-speaking countries: autism is not an uncommon severe disability. Autism is rather a relatively common phenomenon with a broad spectrum, from mentally handicapped to gifted people, who suffer from mild to severe forms of the condition. An easily understood colour chart helps to illustrate this. Apart from diagnosis and origins of the spectrum disorders, the book also offers helpful strategies for education and school life. The book is enhanced by numerous case studies and practical guidance for children on the autism spectrum, their parents and therapists.

2nd edition 214 pages, € 26,90 ISBN: 978-3-17-023281-5

This book deals not just with urgent outward shame, but rather its inwardness. The author examines how these internal conflicts of shame are reflected in all relationships. He focuses on the following issues: the „negative therapeutic reaction“, the „evil eye“, the dynamics of envy and jealousy and their roots in the emotions of shame, lies and betrayal. He also discusses the origins of the formation of conscience and the dichotomy of the „inner judge“ and its various sides.

Baby blues, postnatal depression, a traumatic birth - affected women and their families can often not correctly classify their psychological problems. If women are unhappy during pregnancy or after the birth of a child, the question arises as to whether this is still „normal“ or whether this is the manifestation of symptoms of depression or another mental disorder. There is a considerable need for information about this. The guide offers knowledge about the symptoms and causes of postnatal depression and psychosis, anxiety and compulsive disorders, as well as providing treatment options, possible aids and support. It also answers frequently asked questions, and offers case studies and experiences of those affected.

Treatment of Eating Disorders by Emotion Regulation246 pages, € 39,90 ISBN: 978-3-17-020998-5

Eating disorders belong to the leading causes of lost life years in young adult women.

Current behavioural treatments are efficacious but reach only part of the affected women. The treatment presented in this book differs from many prior treatment approaches in that it assumes that disturbed eating behaviour is a consequence of difficulties in emotional regulation. It focuses on imparting skills that improve self-management, foster mindful and healthy eating behaviour, emotion regulation, social skills and distress tolerance.

“Treatment of Eating Disorders by Emotional Regulation” has a modular structure and is designed for use as the basis for inpatient and outpatient treatment and also has a self-help manual. It contains a plenty of psychoeducational materials, work sheets, case vignettes

Right of asylum and immigration law 3rd edition 568 pages, € 32,90 ISBN: 978-3-17-022994-5

Since the publication of the second edition, the right of residence and asylum has been adapted to comply with numerous EU directives and regulations. The jurisdiction of the ECJ and the European Court of Human Rights increasingly determines the interpretation and evolution of immigration law. This new edition presents the main fields of immigration law, the right of asylum and the right to freedom of movement within the EU based on legal reforms and the most recent legislation. The book takes into account the fundamental changes that the Immigration Act has undergone as a result of the EU Highly-qualified Directive (also known as the Blue Card Directive), the Directive for returning illegally staying third-country nationals and the Visa Code. As before, the book places special emphasis on practice-based explanations. Case studies aid ease of understanding.

expanded and revised 2nd edition 502 pages, € 94,00 ISBN: 978-3-17-022094-2

The European Regulation on Insolvency Proceedings and Germany’s own body of international insolvency law are becoming increasingly important in insolvency practice. The European Regulation on Insolvency Proceedings is shaped largely by the case law of the ECJ and of the national courts. This commentary examines both this case law and the way in which international insolvency law influences the interpretation of German insolvency law. The commentary addresses the European Regulation on Insolvency Proceedings, the provisions of art. 102 and art. 102a, sections 1 et seqq. of the German Introductory Act to the Insolvency Statute [EGInsO], section 335 et seqq. of the German Insolvency Statute [InsO] and selected provisions of German insolvency law.
