Der Neutestamentler Ernst Lohmeyer
Studien zu Biographie und Theologie
by Andreas Kohn
English summary: For the first time, Andreas Kohn provides a comprehensive study of the tragic life of Ernst Lohmeyer, who became a victim of both totalitarian systems in Germany when he was transferred from Breslau to Greifswald during National Socialism and then murdered for political reasons by the Soviet secret police on September 19, 1946. This book makes a valuable contribution to understanding Lohmeyer’s philosophical background as well as the individual aspects of his life’s work in the field of exegesis. It also encourages the reader to study the work of this great forgotten 20th century theologian again and to use his many-faceted way of thinking as food for thought in current debates. German description: Ernst Lohmeyer ist ein Opfer beider totalitarer Regime auf deutschem Boden. Durch die Teilnahme an beiden Weltkriegen war die Zeit seiner wissenschaftlichen Arbeit mehrfach unterbrochen, in der Zeit des Nationalsozialismus wurde sein Wirken durch die Zustande an den Universitaten und nicht zuletzt durch seine Strafversetzung von Breslau nach Greifswald stark beeintrachtigt, und schliesslich hat seine politisch motivierte Ermordung durch die sowjetische Geheimpolizei am 19. September 1946, die in der DDR tabuisiert war, eine breitere Wirkung seiner Ansatze in der Nachkriegszeit verhindert.Andreas Kohn arbeitet erstmals umfassend die tragische Biographie Ernst Lohmeyers auf. Sein Buch liefert zugleich einen wertvollen Beitrag zur Erschliessung des philosophischen Hintergrundes und zum Verstandnis einzelner Aspekte der exegetischen Lebensarbeit Lohmeyers. Der Band regt weiter dazu an, das Werk dieses grossen vergessenen Theologen des 20. Jahrhunderts – mehr als funfzig Jahre nach seiner Ermordung – erneut zu studieren und die Anstosse aus seinem facettenreichen Denken fur die Debatten der Gegenwart fruchtbar zu machen.
