English summary: Recent developments in technology have given rise
to the impression that the boundaries imposed by our bodiliness can
somehow be overcome. The increasing philosophical interest in
bodiliness as an unavoidable human condition can be seen as a
response to this far too comfortable impression. The essays in this
volume address the topic of bodiliness from a theological point of
view. They show that our perceptions of, and relationships with,
one another cannot be divorced from our bodily condition, and that
this existential reality affects significantly how we understand
our relationship with God. The contributions also address how we
can best deal with the fragility of our bodily condition, as well
as the challenges that technological and medical procedures for
altering the appearance and constitution of our bodies pose.
Special attention is given to how liturgical experience not only
offers us a means to respond to these challenges but also to deepen
our understanding of Christian communities as ineluctably bodily.
German description: Die technologischen Entwicklungen unserer Zeit
erwecken den Eindruck, dass wir unseren Leib verbessern und seine
Grenzen mit ihrer Hilfe uberwinden konnen. Das hohe philosophische
Interesse an der leiblichen Verfasstheit des Menschen ist
moglicherweise eine Gegenreaktion auf diese Entwicklung. Dieser
Band bietet theologische Perspektiven zu diesem Thema. Die Beitrage
vertreten ein integratives Verstandnis vom Menschen, zu dem
Leiblichkeit als unabdingbare Charakteristik gehort. Sie zeigen,
wie diese Leiblichkeit die Art und Weise bedingt, wie wir uns
wahrnehmen und miteinander in Beziehung treten und wie sich diese
Grundbedingung auch auf unsere Beziehung zu Gott auswirkt. Gegen
eine einseitige Perspektive der Verbesserung des Korpers stellen
die Autoren einen differenzierten Umgang mit dessen Verwundbarkeit.
Die Beitrager stellen die Bedeutung der Leiblichkeit fur den
Vollzug der Liturgie und fur ein zeitgemasses Verstandnis von
christlicher Gemeinde und diakonischer Arbeit heraus.
