Schopfung
edited by Konrad Schmid
English summary: In the past decades, creation has become a much-discussed subject in theology in the face of ecological crises and the creationism debate as well. In addition, the concept of creation has also been applied in contexts apart from theology and the church. The frequent designation of the world as a creation in the sense of an environment which is to be preserved is usually too narrow a view and does not provide a sufficient interpretation of the various meanings of the theological discourse on creation. Conversely, the theological use of the term “creation” often suffers from a premature dismissal of its specific relation to the world. The articles in this volume show how creation can be seen in a theologically appropriate manner and at the same time in a form communicable to the public from the perspective of individual theological disciplines but also in its entirety. German description: Im Horizont okologischer Krisen, aber auch der Kreationismusdebatte ist Schopfung in den letzten Jahrzehnten zu einem vielverhandelten theologischen Thema geworden. Der Begriff der Schopfung hat daruber hinaus auch Anwendung in Kontexten ausserhalb von Theologie und Kirche gefunden. Die nicht selten anzutreffende Bestimmung der Welt als Schopfung im Sinne von zu bewahrender Umwelt greift allerdings meistens zu kurz und erschliesst die Sinndimensionen theologischer Rede von Schopfung nur unzureichend. Umgekehrt leidet der theologische Gebrauch des Schopfungsbegriffs oft an einer vorschnellen Verabschiedung seines konkreten Weltbezugs.Die Autoren der hier gesammelten Beitrage zeigen Wege auf, wie aus der Perspektive theologischer Einzeldisziplinen, aber auch in zusammenschauender Weise Schopfung in theologisch angemessener Weise und zugleich offentlich vermittelbarer Form gedacht werden kann. Mit Beitragen von:Reiner Anselm, Matthias Konradt, Martin Rothgangel, Konrad Schmid, Anselm Schubert, Annette Zgoll
