Erfahrenes Heil
Gottesdienst und Heilung
edited by Alexander Deeg and Christian Lehnert
German description: Die Jahre der Pandemie haben neben gesellschaftlichen Verwerfungen die Medizin als Wissenschaft, Wirtschaftsfaktor und kulturelle Praxis verandert. Sie hat fur viele einen wachsenden Anteil auch an der Suche nach Sinn und nach dem guten Leben. Das Christentum durchzieht die Gewissheit, dass Krankheit und Heilung mehr sind als Fragen nach dem menschlichen Tun. Gottesdienste werden vor diesem Hintergrund neu befragt: In welchem Sinn vermitteln sie Heil und Heilung? Wie “wirksam” sind sie und auf welcher Ebene? Dem gehen die Beitrage dieses Bandes nach. Neben historische Ruckblicke auf die theologischen Deutungen von Seuchen und die pietistischen Versuche, eine christliche Medizin aus der Spiritualitat zu entwickeln, treten Aufsatze zu Gegenwartsfragen, etwa zu Spiritual Care, zu Resilienz oder zu Heilungsgottesdiensten im evangelikalen Raum, dazu systematische und praktisch-theologische Grundgedanken. Mit Beitragen von Alexander Deeg, Holger Eschmann, Yemima Hadad, Hildegund Keul, Katharina Krause, Michael Leonhardi, Martin Lustraeten, Simon Peng-Keller, Volker Reinhardt, Stefan Schweyer, Anne M. Steinmeier, und Peter Zimmerling. English summary: In addition to social upheaval, the years of the pandemic have changed medicine as a science, economic factor and cultural practice. For many, it has also played a growing role in the search for meaning and the good life. Christianity is permeated by the certainty that illness and healing are more than just questions about human activity. Against this background, church services are being questioned anew: In what sense do they convey salvation and healing? How “effective” are they, and on what level? The contributions in this volume explore these questions. In addition to historical reviews of the theological interpretations of epidemics and the Pietist attempts to develop Christian medicine from spirituality, there are essays on contemporary issues such as spiritual care, resilience, and healing services in the evangelical sphere, as well as systematic and practical theological ideas.
