This lovingly designed communion and confirmation candle features an elegant Ichthys motif in white and makes a stylish table decoration for special occasions such as communions, confirmations or christenings, creating a festive atmosphere.With a burn time of approx. 35 hours and a handy size of Ø 7.5 cm × H 9 cm, this candle brings atmospheric light to any celebration and is also suitable as a small gift or gift accessory. Made from high-quality paraffin in Europe, it combines traditional symbolism with elegant design – perfect for meaningful moments with the family.ICHTHYS comes from Greek and means ‘fish’. The first Christians used the fish as a secret sign of recognition during their persecution. To make sure whether the unknown person present was a follower of Jesus or not, they drew an arc in the sand. If the stranger then completed the symbol by drawing a counter-arc to this fish, he clearly identified himself.The symbol of the fish was not chosen at random, but has two meanings: Firstly, it refers to the fact that, according to Mark 1:17, Jesus called Simon (later called Peter) and his brother Andrew while they were fishing on the Sea of Galilee, asked them to follow him, and made them fishers of men. Secondly, a kind of creed can be derived from the initial letters of the Greek word iχθύς:Ι – JesusCh – Christ [the ‘Anointed One’, in Hebrew ‘Maschiach’ (Messiah)]T – God'sΥ – SonS – Saviour, Redeemer

There has been much interest in the Book of Chronicles in recent years. A book long considered marginal has become one of the most central in current studies. This is due, in part, to the increased and increasing emphasis on Persian period Yehud (and Samaria), and to the fact that Chronicles may provide a window for understanding how other books that later became biblical were understood at the time. In addition, Chronicles is also a second "national" history and as such it served to reconfigure and reimagine the past/s communicated by other books. This commentary makes use of (social) memory (and other social-anthropological) approaches, examines the ongoing construction of meaning at the level of the separate units in the book, that of the book as a whole, and that of the book as part of a extant "library" within which it constantly interacts and modifies. Explorations of the influence of the book and its images of the past over time round off the analysis.
Quo vadis, theology? This was the question addressed at an international conference on which this volume is based. Various perspectives were added to the guiding intention of thinking theology in the public sphere: the contributions range from church-historical contexts to systematic-theological horizons and practical-theological challenges. These perspectives gain an additional decisive profile through the transnational expansion of the authors. On this basis, the volume attempts to provide further impulses in the context of the "Quo Vadis?" posed at the beginning and to reflect on theology from the perspectives just mentioned, which are intertwined with the public sphere.
