Modern Theological German – A Reader and Dictionary

Helmut Ziefle''s Modern Theological German equips students with a unique tool for learning theological German. This handy reference combines the author''s accessible German reader with his Dictionary of Modern Theological German.The reader is divided into two parts. The first part offers readings from the German Bible, enabling students to gain confidence by beginning with familiar texts. The second part presents more difficult readings drawn from the writings of several German theologians, including Martin Luther, Albert Schweitzer, Karl Barth, Helmut Thielicke, Adolf Schlatter, and Rainer Riesner.The dictionary, previously published as a separate volume, contains over twenty thousand terms. Many of these terms are part of the specialized theological vocabulary not generally found, or given only slight treatment, in standard German dictionaries.
