The twentieth century may be said to have been the century of ecumenism, a striving worldwide to realize church unity at different levels. It has frequently been asserted that one condition for reaching visible Church unity is that there should be basic agreement on baptism, eucharist and ministry. These three topics are dealt with in the Lima-document or BEM (1982). In the present study the sections of the latter that concern baptism are analyzed and also contextualized through a closer study of one of the responses to BEM, the official response of the Baptist Union of Sweden. This response gives a more traditional, closed Baptist opinion: baptism cannot be the basis of the church unity sought by BEM. The author shows here, however, that fundamental Baptist principles are being reconsidered, indicating considerable diversity within the Baptist Union concerning these questions. On the local level there are many ecumenical strivings, concretized in ecumenical congregations where different theologies and practices meet. This has opened up possibilities of church unity on the basis of both types of baptism (infant baptism and believers¿ baptism), and also membership on the basis of faith alone. By comparing official documents with public expressions of unofficial opinion, this study shows that the reality is more complex and ambiguous than is apparent in official documents. This book could be of interest because of its application of new methods to the study of »reception». To help an international readership, a historical presentation of the Baptist Union of Sweden introduces this study.

Adam Mickiewicz, Polens größter Nationaldichter, feiert heuer seinen 200. Geburtstag. Die Welt gedenkt seiner, soweit sie ihn überhaupt kennt. In seiner Zeit wurde er mit Goethe und Byron in einem Zuge genannt. Als Mitglied der Philomathen in Wilno verdächtigt, an Verschwörungen beteiligt zu sein, wurde er nach Rußland verbannt. Mit Hilfe seiner russischen Freunde - er war mit Puschkin befreundet - gelang es ihm, Rußland per Schiff zu verlassen und sich über Deutschland in den Westen abzusetzen. Nach der Niederschlagung des Novemberaufstandes 1830, an dem er aber nicht teilnahm, da er in Italien weilte, schloß er sich der großen Emigrationswelle an und verbrachte zunächst eine Zeitlang in Dresden, wo er die Dziady III schrieb. Dieser Teil seines Hauptwerkes heißt daher auch Dresdner Dziady. Von Dresden begab sich Mickiewicz nach Paris, wo er, mit Unterbrechungen, als Emigrant lebte und seinen Pan Tadeusz schrieb.

Ethno-national identity is an outcome of ideological interpellation, self-writing and narratives. Politics as the enactment of identity has led Ethiopian politics to a dead-end. A theological turn can open the ontological possibility of a new political subject and a reinvention of politics that transcends the impasse.

This study explores a number of early modern comedias that deal with historical siege or military episodes in the history of the Iberian peoples. Cervantes's La Numancia, Lope de Vega's El asalto de Mastrique and his lesser known La nueva victoria de don Gonzalo de Cordoba, Calderon de la Barca's El sitio de Breda, and Velez de Guevara's El Hercules de Ocana are key texts examined here. Taking the distinction between history and fiction in Neo-Aristotelian literary theory as a point of departure, this book considers the intellectual and historical conditions that affect the ways in which early modern dramatists interpret historical events according to their own literary and ideological purposes. The interplay of history and fiction demonstrates uses and discontents of legitimizing fiction in the early modern period. Parallel themes of epic and siege intermingled with romance and carnivalesque humour, provide alternative perspectives to early modern representations of empire and war on the Spanish stage.
