The question of one’s own identity is one of the basic questions of human experience. Christopher Zarnow defines the concept of religion in terms of processes of identity formation from the perspective of philosophy, sociology, the psychology of religion and theology.
English summary: The question of one’s own identity is one of the basic questions of human experience. It arises in certain developmental stages of a person’s life, in response to drastic changes or blows of fate, but also as an effect of the fragmentation of experiences into a myriad of roles which is typical of the modern age. Given the differentiation and diversification characterizing contemporary society, identity has become a widely discussed issue, and it is only natural that the topic of identity and that of religion overlap in various ways. The concept of religion can be defined in terms of processes of identity formation. However, questions of identity are themselves a topic of religious communication. In its symbols of creation, sin, salvation and consummation, material dogmatics deals with the entire spectrum of the religious reflection of the self. German description: In der Identitatsthematik uberschneiden sich anthropologische Grundfragen der personalen Existenz mit einer modernespezifischen Sinnproblematik. Die ‘grossen Themen’ des menschlichen Lebens artikulieren sich gegenwartig als Identitatsfragen. Die Identitatsthematik wird damit zum reflexiven Vollzugsort lebensgeschichtlicher Religion.Christopher Zarnow legt die neuzeitlichen Wurzeln des Identitatsgedankens bei Locke, Leibniz und Kant frei, um vor diesem Hintergrund ein philosophisch vertieftes Verstandnis des sozialpsychologischen Identitatsbegriffs (Mead, Goffman, Krappmann) zu gewinnen. In Auseinandersetzung mit neueren Ansatzen der Religionssoziologie und der Religionspsychologie bestimmt er die religiose Dimension der Identitat als Spannung von Sich-Gegebensein und Selbstentzogenheit. Die Materialdogmatik bearbeitet diese Spannung je auf ihre Weise in den Symbolen der Schopfung, Sunde, Erlosung und Vollendung.
