010126 VO Basic Course Fundamental Theology II (Text and Tradition) (2022W)

3.00 ECTS (2.00 SWS), SPL 1 - Katholische Theologie

Die Vorlesung behandelt den Themenbereich von Schrift als einer entscheidenden Form der Selbstkonstitution von Glaubensgemeinschaften, nimmt einen theologischen Standpunkt ein und hat dabei im Zentrum die biblischen Glaubensgemeinschaften jüdischer und christlicher Tradition. Daher ergibt sich auch die Frage nach der Bedeutung von Traditionen von selbst, ebenso die Frage nach deren Wirkungen und Wirksamkeiten, die sich mitunter deutlich über den eigenen Bereich hinaus erstrecken.

Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The main aim of the course is to grasp and understand the close connection between writing, text, and knowledge in the context of religious traditions in order to be able to distinguish between different text-bound claims of biblical religions. A further aim is to be able to reflect such distinctions in terms of different methods of transmission in which texts have been handled and interpreted in Jewish and Christian discourses and settings, exemplified by examples in history and the present.

Contents:
- Writing as transmitting
- God speaks and man writes down
- Letters and language
- Grammar and reason
- Writing and Scripture
- Scripture as manifestation of religious communities
- Scripture - canon - dogma
- Concept of tradition
- Body of tradition
- Scripture and tradition between Judaism and Christianity
- Effects of Christian tradition

Methods:
- Present-oral lecture and presentations; live streaming via BigBlueButtun; discussions
- Summaries of each topic will be available on Moodle platform.
