Hieronymus als Exeget und Theologe
Interdisziplinäre Zugänge zum Koheletkommentar des Hieronymus
Edited by E. Birnbaum Edited by L. Schwienhorst-Schönberger
Hieronymus’ Commentarius in Ecclesiasten has been the standard commentary on the Book of Ecclesiastes for many centuries. It has developed into a reference work for a form of spirituality that as far as its themes of vanitas and contemptus mundi are concerned has had a substantial impact on the history of Western mentality and intellectual life up to the present day, both in terms of tradition and contradiction. This volume addresses the commentary from the joint perspectives of the different disciplines exegesis, patristics, judaistics, literature studies, philology and ecclesiastical history and highlights key themes and motifs, purpose and the contemporary historical context of the commentary. In addition, it discusses fundamental hermeneutical and methodological questions in patristic biblical interpretation.
English summary: Hieronymus’ Commentarius in Ecclesiasten has been the standard commentary on the Book of Ecclesiastes for many centuries. It has developed into a reference work for a form of spirituality that as far as its themes of vanitas and contemptus mundi are concerned has had a substantial impact on the history of Western mentality and intellectual life up to the present day, both in terms of tradition and contradiction. This volume addresses the commentary from the joint perspectives of the different disciplines exegesis, patristics, judaistics, literature studies, philology and ecclesiastical history and highlights key themes and motifs, purpose and the contemporary historical context of the commentary. In addition, it discusses fundamental hermeneutical and methodological questions in patristic biblical interpretation. German description: Der Commentarius in Ecclesiasten des Hieronymus war jahrhundertelang der Standardkommentar zum Buch Kohelet. Er avancierte zum Referenzwerk einer Spiritualitat, die im Vanitas-Motiv und in der sbung des contemptus mundi die abendlandische Mentalitats- und Geistesgeschichte bis in die Neuzeit hinein in Anknupfung und Widerspruch zutiefst gepragt hat. Im vorliegenden Band werfen die unterschiedlichen Disziplinen: Exegese, Patristik, Judaistik, Literaturwissenschaft, Philologie und Kirchengeschichte einen gemeinsamen Blick auf den Kommentar und beleuchten zentrale Themen und Motive, Intention und zeitgeschichtliche Situierung des Kommentars. Zudem werden hermeneutische und methodologische Grundfragen der patristischen Bibelauslegung diskutiert. Die lange Zeit als uberholt bezeichnete Kirchenvater-Exegese wird dabei neu in das exegetische Gesprach gebracht und auf ihre Relevanz fur eine zeitgemaae Bibelauslegung hin befragt. Hieronymus empfiehlt sich dabei in besonderer Weise als Gesprachspartner, ist er doch einer der wirkmachtigsten Vertreter einer Auslegungstradition, in der Theologie und Exegese, Glaube und Wissenschaft, Altes und Neues Testament noch nicht getrennt waren.
