Apokalypse – ja bitte?
Interdisziplinare Perspektiven zur Bedeutung christlicher Endzeitvorstellungen fur Kirche und Praktische Theologie
edited by Simone Ziermann
German description: Der Kampf von Gut und Bose, Drachenwesen und das drohende Ende der Menschheit – diese Motive lassen Kinokassen klingeln. Gleichzeitig haben apokalyptische Argumentationsmuster Hochkonjunktur in der breiten Gesellschaft. Beides – die apokalyptischen Bilder und die apokalyptischen Denkmuster – haben Anhalt im biblischen Zeugnis und so liegt die Frage nahe: Kann die Kirche an diesen “Trend zur Endzeitstimmung” anknupfen und so die eigene Botschaft wieder attraktiver machen? Und falls ja: wie? Dem geht der vorliegende Band nach. English summary: The battle of good and evil, dragon creatures and the impending end of human life – these motifs keep the box office ringing. At the same time, models of apocalyptic argumentation are booming in society at large. Both the apocalyptic images and the apocalyptic thought patterns have a basis in biblical testimony, and so the question presents itself: Can the church build on this trend towards the apocalyptic mood and thus once again make its own message more attractive? And if so, how? This volume explores these questions.
