"Biblical Hermeneutics in German-Speaking Evangelicalism Since 1990"

福音派已成为最有影响力的新教运动之一。德国福音派联盟拥有130万成员，是德国最大的福音派伞式组织。至于学术研究一直没有太大的兴趣，无论是在现象，也不是在具体的圣经诠释学这一组。因此，通常的争论划分的习惯不符合教会现实的复杂性和福音派神学和诠释学的多样化形式的今天。这个DFG资助的项目致力于当代德语福音派对圣经的理解话语。自2019年10月以来，它致力于福音教义不同方法的分类系统，以更好地理解教义，信徒和机构之间的关系。此外，这个框架可以帮助这些群体的道德或政治声明的背景。通过这个项目，该项目有助于分析当代福音派新教，认真对待它的要求，并在其基础上进行审查。在当代研究中，对福音派圣经解释学没有太大的兴趣。甚至吉萨·鲍尔的《德国联邦福音派教堂的福音与福音》也没有直接涉及福音派圣经解释学的具体概念。考虑到至少有三部重要的著作--格哈德·迈尔的《历史批判方法的终结》和《圣经解释学》以及阿明·谢尔申的《格里夫的圣经》--本项目旨在深入分析福音派圣经诠释学的这些和其他有影响力的贡献，以探索这一未探索的研究领域的多样性。关于“唯独圣经”的原则训诂学从以往教条式框架中的解放和历史批判方法的发展，都削弱了它在现代思想中的可接受性。因此，现代历史思维在作者的过去和读者的现在之间产生了一个鸿沟。为了更好地理解和认识所研究的领域，需要从两个方面扩大原来的工作计划：一方面，采访更多的神学家，分析更多的材料，包括数字媒体。这符合这一领域的多元化，例如，越来越多的福音派公立大学此外，德国福音派对现代性某些特征的排斥也得到了批判性的审查和历史背景化。本申请要求将供资期限延长一年。

Evangelicalism has become one of the most influential movements of Protestantism. With 1.3 million members the German Evangelical Alliance is the biggest evangelical umbrella organisation in Germany. As for academic research there has not been much interest neither in the phenomenon nor in specific bible hermeneutics of this group. Hence the usual habit of polemic demarcation does not meet the complexity of ecclesiastical reality and the diversified forms of evangelical theologies and hermeneutics today.This DFG-funded project is devoted to the contemporary German-speaking discourse of evangelical understanding of the bible. Since October 2019 it works on a classification system for different approaches in evangelical doctrine to better understand the relations between doctrine, believers and institutions. Furthermore, this framework can help to contextualise ethical or political statements from these groups. By this, the project helps to analyse contemporary evangelical Protestantism, to take its demands seriously and to examine it on the basis of its foundations.Within contemporary research there has not been much interest in evangelical bible hermeneutics. Even Gisa Bauers “Evangelikale Bewegung und evangelische Kirche in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland” does not directly engage with concrete concepts of evangelical bible hermeneutics. Given the fact that there are at least three important works – “Das Ende der historisch-kritischen Methode“ and “Biblische Hermeneutik“ by Gerhard Maier as well as “Die Bibel im Griff“ by Armin Sierszyn – this project aims to profoundly analyse these and other influential contributions of evangelical bible hermeneutics to explore the variety of this unexplored field of research.The given controversy can also be seen as an argument about the “sola scriptura” principle. Both the emancipation of exegesis from its former dogmatic frame and the development of historical critical methods have undermined its plausibility in modern thought. As a result, modern historical thinking has produced a gap between the authors’ past and the readers’ present.The original work schedule needed to be expanded in two ways to meet the projects’ main goal of better understanding and recognising the examined field: On the one hand, more theologians have been interviewed and more material, also digital media, has been analysed. This meets the pluralisation of this area, e.g., the growing number of evangelical publicly licensed colleges. Furthermore, the repulsion of certain features of modernity by German evangelicals has been critically reviewed and historically contextualised. The present application seeks for the extension of the funding by one year.
