Synopsis
Contributing Authors

English summary: Surprisingly, the “spiritual gospel” places a special emphasis on the senses. It details a tasting of exceptional wine, the stench of death, a finger in the risen Christ’s wounds as an affirmation of new life. Rainer Hirsch-Luipold interprets these stories as the Johannine answer to the fundamental obstacle in the quest for knowledge of God: the fact that “nobody has ever seen God” (John 1, 18). Based on the idea of an incarnation of the divine Logos, the Fourth Gospel formulates a christological aesthetics of the Invisible. Since the utterly transcendent and unknowable God has stepped over the threshold of his divine being and entered the world, the readers gain an immediate perception of God through the eyes, mouths and noses of first witnesses. According to the Gospel’s soteriological pragmatics, the knowledge of God thus rendered leads to belief and, in turn, everlasting life. On the basis of a fresh reading of three exemplary stories, the author presents his overall view of the literary technique, pragmatics and theology of the Gospel according to John. German description: Ausgerechnet das “geistliche Evangelium” enthalt eine Reihe besonders sinnlich-korperlicher Erzahlungen. Rainer Hirsch-Luipold interpretiert sie unter dem Aspekt sinnlicher Wahrnehmung als Antwort auf die erkenntnistheoretische Problemanalyse: “Keiner hat Gott jemals gesehen” (Joh 1,18). Vom Gedanken der Fleischwerdung des gottlichen Logos her entwickelt das vierte Evangelium eine christologisch zentrierte Asthetik des Unsichtbaren. Durch Augen, Mund und Nase der ersten Zeugen erhalten die Leserinnen und Leser in der Begegnung mit Jesus Christus die Moglichkeit der Wahrnehmung Gottes. Gemass der soteriologischen Pragmatik des Evangeliums werden sie dadurch uber Gotteserkenntnis und Glauben schliesslich zum Leben gefuhrt. Ausgehend von drei exemplarischen Erzahlungen entwirft Rainer Hirsch-Luipold eine Gesamtsicht der literarischen Technik, Pragmatik und Theologie des vierten Evangeliums.
