Die Weimarer Republik löste dramatische religionskulturelle Veränderungen aus. Die Kirchen erlebten sie als Krisen und Verluste. Doch lagen auch Umbruch und Neuanfang in der Luft: radikale Suche nach dem Unbedingten, pragmatisches Zutrauen zum Kompromiss und individuelle Grenzgänge zwischen den Religionen. Der vorliegende Band dokumentiert diese produktiven Zeiten für christliche Theologie und jüdische Religionsphilosophie.

In the history of Judaism and Christianity the biblical ban against images has been a decisive factor in shaping collective identity around opposition to the veneration of images. The biblical ban inspired the iconoclastic controversy in Byzantium as well as iconoclasm during the Protestant Reformation. Even in the present, biblical texts prohibiting images may be easily misunderstood in ways that can lead to religious conflicts and even violence. At the same time, the humanities are experiencing an "iconic turn," a marked attention to the role of images. Recognizing both the potential for misunderstanding the biblical texts and the promise of a more nuanced appreciation of the role of images in human experience, this book constructs a framework for understanding the place of images, and their prohibition, within the biblical text and Christian religious practice. In the form of a dialogue between an Old Testament scholar and a Protestant systematic theologian, the volume explores potential lines of convergence between the rationale behind rejecting visual representations of God and that behind regarding the icon of Christ as a representation of the invisible God. Consideration of Old Testament texts in their cultural context clarifies key distinctions underlying the prohibition of material representations of God, while explaining the central importance of the biblical texts for creating "mental iconography" of God.

English summary: Hermeneutics of the Prohibition of Images. Approaches from Exegetical and Systematic-Theological Viewpoints] In the history of the Jewish and Christian religions, the biblical prohibition of images has played an important role in the delimitation against iconic cults, and it has fuelled the Byzantine iconoclasm just as much as that of the Reformation. What were the primary motivations for refusing visual representations of God? And how can this refusal be reconciled with the tradition of the image of Christ as the representation of the invisible God rendered possible through the concept of the incarnation? Which delimitations are implemented by the Old Testament formulations of the prohibition of images? What is its significance in religious philosophy, aesthetics, and systematic theology, and what is the position of contemporary theology regarding the non-representativeness of God?The approaches to this topic by an exegete and a systematician are carried by their shared conviction that, in view of the iconic turn in cultural studies and theology, an appropriate hermeneutics of the prohibition of images is as rewarding as it is needed. German description: Das biblische Bilderverbot hat in der Geschichte der juedischen und der christlichen Religion eine wichtige Rolle fuer die Abgrenzung der eigenen Identitat gegenueber den Bilderkulten gespielt und den byzantinischen Bilderstreit ebenso befeuert wie den Bildersturm der Reformationszeit. Was waren die leitenden Intentionen bei der Ablehnung bildlicher Vergegenwartigungen Gottes? Und wie vertragt sich diese Ablehnung mit der durch den Gedanken der Inkarnation ermoglichten Tradition des Christusbildes als Reprasentation des unsichtbaren Gottes? Welche Abgrenzungen vollziehen die alttestamentlichen Formulierungen des Bilderverbotes? Welche Bedeutung hat es in Religionsphilosophie, Asthetik und Systematischer Theologie und wie stellt sich die Theologie heute zur Nicht-Bildlichkeit Gottes? Die Annaherungen aus der Sicht eines Exegeten und eines Systematikers sind von der gemeinsamen Uberzeugung getragen, dass eine sachgemasse Hermeneutik des Bilderverbotes angesichts des iconic turn in Kulturwissenschaft und Theologie ebenso lohnend wie notig ist.

English summary: Enmity. Theological and philosophica perspectives] Whoever talks about friendship and love must also have a notion of enmity. This is true already when there is talk of love of the enemy or while we were enemies we were reconciled to God and even more so when the Bible speaks of irreconcilable enmity. In the discussions between theology and phenomenology, philosophy and politics the figure of the enemy is a recurrent theme. How does it happen that the other changes from rival to enemy? What place has the concept of the enemy in building up a separate identity and what is the role of imagination in that process?The concept of Carl Schmitt of the specific distinction in the political sphere between friend and enemy, the analysis of Derrida of the term rogue states, and the praise of enmity by Nietzsche are challenges for analyzing the meaning of hostility in an anthropological perspective. German description: Wer von Freundschaft und Liebe spricht, muss sich auch von Feindschaft einen Begriff machen. Das gilt bereits, wenn von aFeindesliebe die Rede ist oder davon, dass aGott uns versohnt hat, als wir noch Feinde waren - und natuerlich erst recht, wenn die Bibel von Feinden ganz unversohnlich spricht. Im Spannungsfeld von Theologie und Phanomenologie, von Philosophie und Politik tritt die Figur des Feindes in vielen Debatten immer wieder auf. Gefragt wird, wie der Andere vom Konkurrenten zum Feind wird, welche Rolle Feindbilder im Aufbau eigener Identitat spielen und welche Funktion die Imagination dabei spielt.Carl Schmitts Behauptung, die spezifische Unterscheidung der politischen Sphare sei die zwischen Freund und Feind, Derridas Analyse der Rede von den Schurkenstaaten oder Nietzsches Lob der Feindschaft fordern dazu heraus, nach dem anthropologischen Sinn der Feind-Seligkeit zu fragen.
