Be better, be more beautiful, perform better! Self-optimization is all the rage. What do theology and the church have to say about it? Should they issue a warning and strike up a cultural pessimistic tune? Maybe they could activate their own resources, which have the potential for discursive compatibility with phenomena of self-improvement. This study brings the discourse of enhancement into dialogue with the locus of healing in Calvin. Besser werden, schöner werden, leistungsfähiger werden! Selbstoptimierung liegt im Trend. Was haben Theologie und Kirche dazu zu sagen? Sollen sie den Mahnfinger heben und ein kulturpessimistisches Lied anstimmen?Oder sie könnten eigene Ressourcen aktivieren, die das Potential der diskursiven Kompatibilität mit Selbstverbesserungsphänomenen aufweisen.Dies versucht die vorliegende Arbeit und bringt den Enhancement-Diskurs aus Bioethik und Biomedizin in gegenwartshermeneutischer Absicht mit dem reformierten Lokus der Heiligung am Beispiel von Johannes Calvin ins Gespräch.Sie vertritt dabei die These, dass die Stärke und Aktualität von Calvins Theologie im Zusammendenken von Anspruch und Entlastung liegen. Sie wertschätzt die – auch verbessernde – Leistung des Menschen und kann dieselbe gleichzeitig als vollendet durch Gottes Wirken wissen.

The Hebrew Bible formulates two sets of law: one for Israelites and one for gentiles living in the Holy Land. 'Law Beyond Israel' argues that the laws for non-Israelites form the historical basis of qur'anic law, pointing to legal continuity from the Hebrew Bible to the New Testament and from late antique Christianity to nascent Islam.
