Jesper Tang Nielsen attempts to define the narrative structures of the Fourth Gospel. On the basis of a semiotic interpretation of Aristotle’s Poetics, he distinguishes between the cognitive and the pragmatic dimension of the narrative.
English summary: Some exegetes claim that Jesus’ death in the Fourth Gospel does not have any theological significance, whereas other believe that there is a theology of the cross in the Fourth Gospel. In view of this situation, Jesper Tang Nielsen attempts to define the narrative structures of the Fourth Gospel. On the basis of a semiotic interpretation of Aristotle’s Poetics, he distinguishes between the cognitive and the pragmatic dimension of the narrative. He shows that the significance of Jesus’ death is primarily in the cognitive dimension. It is the essential prerequisite for the final recognition of the Son of God. Against this background, it can also be seen as the reason for the gathering of the community of believers and as the source of their cult. Thus the death of Jesus in the Fourth Gospel is neither insignificant, nor does it comply with traditional theological categories. German description: Einige Exegeten behaupten, dass der Tod Jesu im Johannesevangelium bedeutungslos ist. Andere meinen, dass das Johannesevangelium eine Kreuzestheologie vertritt. Angesichts dieser Forschungssituation unternimmt Jesper Tang Nielsen den Versuch, die Funktion des Todes in den narrativen Strukturen des Vierten Evangeliums zu bestimmen. Aufgrund einer semiotischen Interpretation von Aristoteles’ Poetik trennt er dabei die kognitive von der pragmatischen Dimension der Erzahlung. Es zeigt sich, dass der Tod Jesu vor allem in der kognitiven Dimension von vorrangiger Bedeutung ist. Er ist die unerlassliche Voraussetzung fur die endgultige Anerkennung des Gottessohnes. Vor diesem Hintergrund kann er als Ursache der Sammlung der glaubenden Gemeinde und als Ursprung ihres Kultes dargestellt werden. So ist der Tod Jesu im Johannesevangelium weder bedeutungslos, noch passt er in die traditionellen theologischen Kategorien.
