• Sommario/riassunto: A powerful element in twentieth-century Chinese politics has been the myth of Chinese resistance to Japan's seizure of Manchuria in 1931. Investigating the shifting alliances of key players in that event, Rana Mitter traces the development of the narrative of resistance to the occupation and shows how it became part of China's political consciousness, enduring even today. After Japan's September 1931 military strike leading to a takeover of the Northeast, the Chinese responded in three major ways: collaboration, resistance in exile, and resistance on the ground. What motives prompted some Chinese to collaborate, others to resist? What were conditions like under the Japanese? Through careful reading of Chinese and Japanese sources, ; particularly local government records, newspapers, and journals published both inside and outside occupied Manchuria, Mitter sheds important new light on these questions.

• Sommario/riassunto: Die vorliegende Homiletik geht von einer methodisch kohärenten und interdisziplinär konvergenten Erörterung der Prämissen, Elemente, und Strukturen des Predigtprozesses selbst aus, die in eine zeitgenössische "Theologie der Predigt" mündet. Das Spektrum homiletischer Fragen wird auf verschiedene Sequenzen der Kommunikation des Evangeliums bezogen (z. B. Person, Text, Situation, Struktur, Sprache und Rede) wobei psychologische, semiotische, soziologische und rhetorische u. a. Reflexionsperspektiven zum Tragen kommen. Den Modellen der Predigtanalyse wird ein eigenes Kapitel gewidmet. Predigt- und theologiegeschichtliche Fragen werden in die problemorientierte Durchdringung des Stoffs eingebettet, so dass Studierende, Pfarrer und Lehrende je nach Bedarf optimal mit den Grundlagen und Herausforderungen des Fachs vertraut gemacht werden.; In a dialogue with all of the theological disciplines and also with closely related human and philosophical sciences, this standard work sets out criteria for a contemporary approach to preaching. The assumptions, arguments, models, perspectives and methods for analyzing the homiletic process are presented in an understandable form. Figures and practical guidelines offer helpful illustrations. This comprehensive and engaging format makes this volume a supportive textbook, a reliable reference work and a stimulating aid for preaching - all in one.
