English summary: All theology which, in a broad sense, is carried out as interpretation of Scripture, is work done on the canon. However the biblical canon, past and present, has varied, which is not always given sufficient theological consideration. This is the intention of the present book. Its studies of the hermeneutics of the canon encompass exegetical as well as historical, and systematic-theological as well as practical-theological questions. The fundamental idea is that the biblical canon is to be understood as a hermeneutical principle. The different forms of the biblical canon, which are distinct in scope and composition, show that this hermeneutical principle can be interpreted in different ways. Biblical hermeneutics must take account of this plurality. All work on the canon always deals with precisely this plurality and the conflicts of interpretation to which the biblical texts, the Gospel, to which they bear witness, and the Christian faith are subjected. German description: Alle Theologie, die im umfassenden Sinn als Schriftauslegung vollzogen wird, ist Arbeit am Kanon. Allerdings ist der biblische Kanon in Geschichte und Gegenwart eine variable Grosse, was nicht immer hinreichend theologisch bedacht wird. Das aber ist die Absicht des vorliegenden Buches. Seine Studien zur Hermeneutik des Kanons umspannen ebenso exegetische und historische wie systematisch-theologische und praktisch-theologische Fragestellungen. Der Grundgedanke lautet, dass der biblische Kanon als hermeneutisches Prinzip zu verstehen ist. Die verschiedenen Gestalten des biblischen Kanons, die sich in Umfang und Komposition unterscheiden, zeigen, dass dieses hermeneutische Prinzip auf unterschiedliche Weise interpretiert werden kann. Bibelhermeneutik hat dieser Pluralitat Rechnung zu tragen. Alle Arbeit am Kanon bearbeitet eben immer auch diese Pluralitat und den Konflikt der Interpretationen, denen die biblischen Texte, das von ihnen bezeugte Evangelium und der christliche Glaube ausgesetzt sind.

"There is much to commend in the way Kortner summarizes many theological and hermeneutical positions and communicates these to a more general reader, including a non-German one." --Mark W. Elliott, University of St. Andrews, Review of Biblical Literature 12.22.16
