Abstract In the 20th century, a particularly acrimonious relationship took place between analytic philosophy on the one side and Christian theology on the other. Analytic philosophy has been the dominant mode of philosophical engagement in the English‐speaking world. After a long period of hostility or apathy toward religion, it has surged back to the investigation of religious, theological, ethical, and metaphysical questions. The end of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st century witnessed the explosion of Christian analytic philosophical theology and its exploration of standard doctrines of the Christian faith. I survey the history and nature of analytic philosophy and explore arguments from Christian theology against analytic philosophy to unearth sources of the division between the two. Several positive appropriations of analytic thought are discussed, including analytic philosophy of religion and philosophical theology, postliberalism, process theology, speech–act theory, and proper functionalism. Finally, I briefly propose a mode of future engagement between the two disciplines and will consider the program of analytic theology.

Toxic relationships in dating are a problem often experienced by teenagers, including Christian teenagers. These unhealthy relationships are characterized by emotional manipulation, excessive control, constant conflict, and lack of healthy communication, which ultimately negatively impacts psychological, spiritual, and social well-being. Teens trapped in toxic relationships tend to experience stress, anxiety, and loss of self-confidence. Spiritually, toxic relationships can distance them from Christian values of love, patience, and respect for others, and reduce their involvement in the church community. Therefore, understanding the impact of toxic relationships on Christian teenagers is important to provide solutions in building healthier relationships. This research was conducted through a literature study of various related sources, including developmental psychology, interpersonal relationships from a Christian perspective, and factors that contribute to toxic relationships among adolescents. The results show that guidance based on biblical values, such as love, respect, and healthy communication, plays an important role in shaping more positive relationship patterns. In addition, support from family, church community, and education on healthy relationships are key factors in helping adolescents avoid and overcome the negative impacts of toxic relationships. This study makes a new contribution in understanding the importance of a spiritual-based approach in building harmonious relationships that are in line with Christian teachings. With better education on healthy relationships, it is hoped that Christian adolescents can live a more emotionally, socially and spiritually prosperous life.

Wenn kulturell-gesellschaftliche Umbrüche die Schultheorie und -pädagogik verändern, betrifft das auch den Religionsunterricht. Christian Grethlein stellt sich in seiner sowohl für das Studium als auch für die Praxis geeigneten Fachdidaktik dieser Herausforderung. Dabei geht er davon aus: Junge Menschen brauchen eine klare Orientierung, um ihr Leben selbstständig und verantwortlich gestalten zu können. Es gelingt Grethlein, einen umfassenden und aktuellen Leitfaden vorzulegen, der die heutigen Aufgaben und Ziele des evangelischen Religionsunterrichts in der Schule sach- und zeitgemäß bestimmt. Die Auseinandersetzung mit den vorhandenen didaktischen Konzepten, praktische Beispiele, Merksätze, Randmarginalien und ein Literaturverzeichnis machen die Fachdidaktik zu einem übersichtlichen und handlichen Arbeitsbuch.
