Ewigkeit im Augenblick
Zeit und ihre theologische Deutung
Zusammenfassung
[Eternity in the Moment. Time and its Theological Interpretation] Time is a basic category of perception and interpretation of human existence. It is a central task of theology, being time-bound itself, to identify different conceptions of time as well as the corresponding understanding of man, world and history in the biblical, Christian and philosophical traditions. In Christian perspective God is seen as the origin of time and, in the Christ event, being present in time as the creator himself. Therefore, in the mode of faith, fulfilled eternity presents itself in the moment of time. In an interdisciplinary approach, these lectures of the 25th annual conference of the Rudolf-Bultmann-Society for Hermeneutical Theology by A. Grund-Wittenberg, T. Kaufmann, T. Kleffmann, P.-G. Klumbies und H. Schwier discuss fundamental questions of the understanding of time, supplemented by the speech in academic memory for Otto Merk (1933–2021).
