Wunder und Wirklichkeit in den Briefen des Apostels Paulus

Ein Beitrag zu einem Wunderverständnis jenseits von Entmythologisierung

[Miracles and Reality in Paul's Epistles. A Contribution to the Understanding of Miracles Transcending Demythologization and Rehistorization. By Stefan Alkier.]

Published in German.

In a new methodical approach, Stefan Alkier focuses on the relationship between miracles and reality. He begins by developing a semiotic text concept and then rewords the question of miracles: What do concepts of reality look like in those worlds in which reports of miracles are allowed to unfold their credibility? What function do the reports of miracles have for the creation of these worlds? Using these questions as a backdrop, Stefan Alkier examines the Pauline Epistles. In doing so, he attains a new understanding of miracles which leads the reader away from the dilemma of the oppositional 'fact versus fiction' or 'rehistorization versus demythologization'.
