Hermeneutik der frühchristlichen Wundererzählungen

Zusatztext

Miracle stories have always been a source of fascination, but in many respects they also cause considerable problems of interpretation. This volume on the hermeneutics of early Christian miracle stories focuses on the current state of research and pursues the discussion. In addition to a discussion of the basic issues, the early Christian miracle stories are also examined against the backdrop of their ancient environment. This is followed by articles on linguistic form, narratological structure and literary form. The volume concludes with a series of articles dealing specifically with the significance of the texts for the present. Apart from the approaches of depth psychology, feminism and cultural anthropology, the significance of the early Christian miracle stories for use in practice in schools and social welfare work is also addressed.
