  • Paternoster
    Georg Retzlaff
    The Our Father is so much more than a simple, rather harmless prayer, suitable for saying Grace, ending meetings, or - due to the apparent absence of recognizable Christian theology - Interfaith conferences. This book does away with this innocuous approach and examines this prayer as what it originally was: a succinct summary of the Lord’s teaching, more akin to a creed than a ...

  • Singing the Faith
    Georg Retzlaff
    Sunday gospel readings are normally 'enforced' by hymns selected by the organist, according to suggestions made by a choirmaster’s handbook. Often the choice is rather limited, both in number and intellectual or theological content. Preaching the gospel can be seriously undermined by a gospel hymn which reflects thinking not exactly suited to the 21st century or, for that matte...

  • Church Psalter
    Georg Retzlaff
    The Christian Church has had a love-hate relationship with the Book of Psalms: it is supposedly the church’s hymn book but every Sunday we select, leave out, bracket certain sections which are not in accordance with the Gospel of Jesus.

  • The Other Side
    Georg Retzlaff
    From Sunday School days on we are often asked to take sides in order to shape our moral universe: we learn about right and wrong, good and evil, saints and sinners, villains and heroes. Especially the Old Testament offers a wide range of easily identifiable and categorizable characters: Cain and Lamech and Pharaoh and Goliath belong in one box; Abel, David, and Job in another. ...
