English summary: Does Christianity teach “the art of dying”? What defined and defines an effectual way of dealing with death? How did (further) developments in the Christian handling of death, burial and commemoration of the dead come about? From the viewpoint of the classical theological disciplines, this volume offers essential orientation on dealing with dying, death and burial in the Bible, in church history and history of thought traditions – but also in light of the challenges presented by today’s funerary culture, and taking into consideration current theological debates on the consequences of each reflection on the close of life and the dead. Moreover, the collected essays stimulate further engagement with the tasks and enquiries human death presents to theology and faith. German description: Lehrt das Christentum die “Kunst des Sterbens”? Was bestimmte und bestimmt einen gelungenen Umgang mit dem Tod? Wie kam es zur (Fort-)Entwicklung christlicher Umgangsweisen mit Tod, Bestattung und Totengedenken? Dieser Band bietet aus der Sicht der klassischen theologischen Disziplinen eine grundlegende Orientierung zum Umgang mit Sterben, Tod und Bestattung in Bibel, kirchlicher und geistesgeschichtlicher Tradition – auch im Lichte der Herausforderungen gegenwartiger Bestattungskultur und unter Berucksichtigung der gegenwartigen theologischen Debatten um die Konsequenzen jeder Reflexion uber das Lebensende und die Toten. Daruber hinaus finden sich Anregungen zur weiteren Beschaftigung mit den Aufgaben und Anfragen, die der menschliche Tod an Theologie und Glauben stellt.
Geboren 1971; Universitätsprofessor fĂ¼r Kirchen- und Dogmengeschichte (Schwerpunkt Alte Kirche) an der Evangelisch-Theologischen Fakultät der Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz.
