English summary: The subject of blessing has recently, and once again, been attracting lively interest. Regarded as an abbreviation for a successful life, it takes into account multifarious phenomena which present themselves as variations of fundamental themes of cultures, religions and theologies: one wishes and strives steadfastly for oneself and others to be blessed, but without ever having the matter entirely in one’s own hands. The current volume pursues various ideas of blessings, looking at them from the perspectives of religious studies, biblical history, Jewish studies and church history, as well as systematic and practical theology. In so doing, it provides an interdisciplinary insight into the current state of research on the topic. The collection is thus an invitation for theology, church and society to engage over this equally fundamental and widely discussed topic. German description: Das Thema Segen stosst hierzulande in jungster Zeit wieder vermehrt auf lebhaftes Interesse. Als Abbreviatur fur ein gelingendes Leben nimmt es vielgestaltige Phanomene in den Blick, die sich als Variationen eines Grundthemas der Kulturen, Religionen und Theologien prasentieren: Segen wunscht und erstrebt man fur sich selbst und andere nach Kraften, ohne ihn freilich je ganz in der eigenen Hand zu haben.Der vorliegende Band geht unterschiedlichen Segensvorstellungen in religionswissenschaftlicher, biblisch-historischer, judaistischer, kirchengeschichtlicher sowie systematisch- und praktisch-theologischer Perspektive nach. So bietet er einen interdisziplinaren Einblick in den gegenwartigen Forschungsstand, der Theologie, Kirche und Gesellschaft zur Beschaftigung mit dem lebensweltlich ebenso grundlegenden wie attraktiven Thema einladen will. Mit Beitragen von:David Hamidovi’c, Martin Leuenberger, Karl-Heinrich Ostmeyer, Hartmut Rosenau, Christopher Spehr, Ulrike Wagner-Rau
Geboren 1973; Professor fĂ¼r Altes Testament an der Eberhard-Karls-Universität TĂ¼bingen.
