Irenaeus, the second-century bishop of Lyons, left such an impression upon the church that he is sometimes considered to be theology's "founding father." After all, his legacy includes such theological landmarks as the regula fidei (or "rule of faith") and the doctrine of recapitulation. Although these ought not to be minimized, we may gain a new appreciation for this early bishop by highlighting a facet of his work that is even more central: the distinctive shape of the hermeneutic guiding his readings of sacred texts as Christian Scripture. Within the contemporary climate of twenty-first century theology, the reopening of questions of power, truth, authenticity, and holism points to a critique of hermeneutical process (not just theological end-product). In Irenaeus's day, Gnostic Christians on the fringe of the church offered a vision of the telos of faith that many found compelling. Responding to this challenge required Irenaeus to articulate an even more satisfying Christian theology and anthropology on the basis of Scripture and received apostolic tradition. In this battle of hermeneutics, both sides considered protological texts such as Genesis 1:26 and 2:7 to be indispensible. Through a sympathetic reading, then, of Irenaeus and his competitors, we aim to better understand why Irenaeus's biblical interpretations ultimately were deemed more plausible, faithful, and fruitful within the mainstream of the church.

In der vorliegenden Ausgabe werden die bislang wenig beachteten Jesajahomilien des Origenes erstmalig ins Deutsche übersetzt sowie mit Einzelerklärungen und einer umfangreichen Einleitung versehen. In den neun lateinisch erhaltenen Predigten setzt sich der alexandrinische Theologe mit so diffizilen biblischen Motiven wie der Verstockung Israels und Jesajas berühmter Gottes- und Seraphenvision auseinander. Im Kontext einer reichen inner- und außerbiblischen Tradition, in die Origenes sich mit seiner Auslegung bewusst stellt, und im Rekurs auf das platonische Denken seiner Zeit entsteht so eine ausgesprochen vielschichtige Darstellung der Theologie des Jesajabuches, die für die Geschichte der Auslegung dieses biblischen Schlüsseltextes ebenso interessant und ergiebig ist wie für das Bild der origeneischen Theologie. Neben Fragen der wechselvollen Überlieferungs- und Rezeptionsgeschichte beleuchtet die Einleitung den überaus komplexen Hintergrund der Jesajadeutung des Origenes. Ein Anhang, in dem die Testimonien zu dem nicht erhaltenen Jesajakommentar des Origenes gesammelt und der im ersten Origenismusstreit entstandene Traktat des Theophilus von Alexandria gegen die origeneische Auslegung mit Übersetzung abgedruckt ist, schließen den Band ab. In this work Origen's homilies on Isaiah are translated into German for the first time. These homilies, which have previously attracted little attention, are provided with annotations and an extensive introduction. In the nine preserved Latin sermons, the Alexandrian theologian explores such difficult Biblical motives as Israel's obduracy and Isaiah's famous vision of God and the Seraphs. Thus, with recourse to the Platonic thought of his time and consciously confronting the context of a rich biblical and non-biblical tradition with his interpretation, Origen provided a distinctly complex account of the theology of the Book of Isaiah; one which is equally interesting and fruitful for both the historical interpretation of this key biblical text and for our understanding of Origenian theology. Besides questions dealing with the varied history of Origen's Isaiah interpretation and its reception, the introduction sheds light on its extremely complex background. This work is rounded off with an appendix containing a collection of testimonies to Origen's Isaiah commentary (the commentary itself is not included). It also contains a treatise by Theophilus of Alexandria condemning the Origenist interpretation, originating from the First Origenist Crisis, with a translation.
