Act of God : contributions to the current debate

Summary

In our discourse on the action of God, we touch on the central category of the discourse of Christian God. The living God of the Bible is inconceivable without his action in history among us. In modern discourse, it is difficult to integrate a discourse on the action of God. From the theological point of view too, this idea is problematic – this volume is part of this technical discussion.

Siebenrock, Mira Stare, Nikolaus Wandinger, Franz Weber.

Résumé de l’éditeur

Dans notre discours sur l’action de Dieu, nous touchons à la catégorie centrale du discours de Dieu chrétien. Le Dieu vivant de la Bible est inconcevable sans son action dans l’histoire parmi nous. Dans les discours modernes, il est difficile d’intégrer un discours sur l’action de Dieu. Du point de vue théologique également, cette idée est problématique – le présent volume s’inscrit dans cette discussion technique.

في خطابنا حول العمل الإلهي نتطرّق إلى فئة جوهريّة في خطاب الرب الإله المسيحي. فالإله الحيّ المذكور في الكتاب المقدّس لا يُمكن إدراكه أو تلمّس وجوده من دون أعماله الفعليّة بيننا في التاريخ. وفي الخطابات الحديثة المعاصرة، يصعبُ إدراجُ خطاب حول العمل الإلهي. والواقع أنّ هذه الفكرة تطرح إشكاليّة حتى من المنظور اللاهوتي، لذا ينخرطُ هذا العدد في هذا الجدال التقني.

Zusammenfassung

In unserem Sprechen vom Handeln Gottes berühren wir die zentrale Kategorie der christlichen Gottesrede. Der lebendige Gott der Bibel ist ohne sein Wirken in der Geschichte mitten unter uns undenkbar. In die modernen Diskurse ist eine Rede vom Handeln Gottes aber nur schwer zu integrieren. Auch von theologischer Seite wird diese Vorstellung problematisiert – der vorliegende Band klinkt sich in diese Fachdiskussion ein.Mit Beiträgen von: Christoph J. Amor, Werner W.
