Abstract

Die Kehrseite der Offenbarung Gottes ist seine Verborgenheit. In der vorliegenden Studie wird das Thema nicht als Frage nach der Existenz Gottes oder der Theodizee, sondern als Frage der Glaubensgewissheit behandelt.Systematisch-theologiegeschichtliche Modelluntersuchungen bilden, nach einem Rekurs auf das Motiv der Verborgenheit Gottes und seiner Bedeutung in der biblischen Tradition, den Hauptteil des Buches. Sie führen zu drei Thesen: 1. Gottes Verborgenheit ist ein notwendiges, jedoch zu überwindendes Korrelat seines Offenbarseins. 2. Die Dialektik von Verborgen- und Offenbarsein findet sich im Selbstverhältnis Gottes und des Menschen sowie in ihrem Verhältnis zueinander. 3. Gott und Mensch sind zur Überwindung ihrer je eigenen Verborgenheit aufeinander angewiesen. Diese Transformation von der Verborgenheit zum Offenbarsein kann auch als Selbstverwirklichung aufgefasst werden.Abschließend werden die gewonnenen Einsichten auf ihre Anschlussfähigkeit zur philosophischen Anthropologie hin untersucht. Sodann wird der Gottesdienst als prominenter und exemplarischer Ort einer solchen Transformation vom Verborgen- zum Offenbarsein in den Blick genommen und in einer agendarischen Gestalt auf seine diesbezügliche Leistungsfähigkeit hin überprüft.

Abstract

Journey Back to God explores Origen of Alexandria's creative, complex, and controversial treatment of the problem of evil. It argues that his layered cosmology functions as a theodicy that deciphers deeper meaning beneath cosmic disparity. Origen asks: why does God create a world where some suffer more than others? On the surface, the unfair arrangement of the world defies theological coherence. In order to defend divine justice against the charge of cosmic mismanagement, Origen develops a theological cosmology that explains the ontological status and origin of evil as well as its cosmic implications. Origen's theodicy hinges on the journey of the soul back to God. Its themes correlate with the soul's creation, fall and descent into materiality, gradual purification, and eventual divinization. The world, for Origen, functions as a school and hospital for the soul where it undergoes the necessary education and purgation. Origen carefully calibrates his cosmology and theology. He portrays God as a compassionate and judicious teacher, physician, and father who employs suffering for our amelioration. Journey Back to God frames the systematic study of Origen's theodicy within a broader theory of theodicy as navigation, which signifies the dynamic process whereby we impute meaning to suffering. It unites the logical and spiritual facets of his theodicy, and situates it in its third-century historical, theological, and philosophical context, correcting the distortions that continue to plague Origen scholarship. Furthermore, the study clarifies his ambiguous position on universalism within the context of his eschatology. Finally, it assesses the cogency and contemporary relevance of Origen's theodicy, highlighting the problems and prospects of his bold, constructive, and optimistic vision.

Abstract

Das Buch untersucht die unter der Bezeichnung "Konfessionen Jeremias" bekannten Gebete (Jer 11,18-12,6; 15,10-21; 17,14-18; 18,18-23; 20,7-18) aus redaktionskritischer Perspektive. Anstatt direkt auf die Einzeltexte zuzugreifen und in einem zweiten Schritt nach ihrem Weg ins Jeremiabuch zu fragen, wird der umgekehrte Weg gewählt. Ausgangspunkt der Exegese ist daher das Jeremiabuch in seinen verschiedenen Endgestalten (MT und LXX). Es wird zunächst die literarische und literargenetische Beziehung jedes der fünf Abschnitte zu seinem Kontext untersucht, um dann in einem weiteren Schritt die Klagen selbst auf ihre literarische Einheitlichkeit hin zu befragen. Auf diesem Wege ergibt sich eine diachrone Analyse von Jer 11-20, welche die Konfessionen als relativ späte Einschreibungstexte für ihren jeweiligen Kontext verstehbar macht. Sie artikulieren durch den Mund des Propheten das Problem der Kompatibilität von Erwählung und Leiden. Durch verschiedene Fortschreibungsschübe wird Jeremia dadurch zum Paradigma des leidenden Propheten, des leidenden Gerechten, des leidenden Israel und schließlich des leidenden Menschen schlechthin. Dabei übernehmen die Klagen eine buchstrukturierende Rolle nicht nur im Bereich von Jer 11-20, sondern auch von Jer 1-20; 1-45 und 1-51.

Abstract

It is hubris to claim answers to unanswerable questions. Such questions, however--as part of their burden and worth--must still be asked, investigated, and contemplated. How there can be a loving, all-powerful God and a world stymied by suffering and evil is one of the unanswerable questions we must all struggle to answer, even as our responses are closer to gasps, silences, and further questions. More importantly, how and whether one articulates a response will have deep, lasting repercussions for any belief in God and in our judgments upon one another. Throughout this wide-ranging, interdisciplinary work, Peter Admirand draws upon his extensive research and background in theology and testimonial literature, trauma and genocide studies, cultural studies, philosophy of religion, interreligious studies, and systematic theology. As David Burrell writes in the Foreword: ". . .[T]he work's intricate structure, organization, and development will lead us to appreciate that the best one can settle for is a fractured faith built on a fractured theodicy, expressed in a language explicitly fragmented, pluralist, and broken."

Abstract

Jung was intrigued from early in his career with coincidences, especially those surprising juxtapositions that scientific rationality could not adequately explain. He discussed these ideas with Albert Einstein before World War I, but first used the term "synchronicity" in a 1930 lecture, in reference to the unusual psychological insights generated from consulting the I Ching. A long correspondence and friendship with the Nobel Prize-winning physicist Wolfgang Pauli stimulated a final, mature statement of Jung's thinking on synchronicity, originally published in 1952 and reproduced here. Together with a wealth of historical and contemporary material, this essay describes an astrological experiment Jung conducted to test his theory. Synchronicity reveals the full extent of Jung's research into a wide range of psychic phenomena. This paperback edition of Jung's classic work includes a new foreword by Sonu Shamdasani, Philemon Professor of Jung History at University College London.
