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.

福音派已经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形组织。在学术研究方面，无论是对这一群体的现象，还是对具体的圣经解释学，都没有太大的兴趣。因此，通常的辩论划分习惯不符合教会现实的复杂性和今天福音派神学和解释学的多样化形式。这个dfg资助的项目致力于福音派对圣经理解的当代德语话语。自2019年10月以来，它致力于福音派教义中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，这个框架可以帮助将这些群体的道德或政治声明置于背景中。通过这一点，该项目有助于分析当代福音派新教，认真对待其要求，并在其基础上检查它。在当代研究中，对福音派圣经解释学的兴趣不大。即使是Gisa bauer的《Evangelikale Bewegung and evangelische Kirche in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland》也没有直接涉及福音派圣经解释学的具体概念。考虑到至少有三本重要的著作——格哈德·迈尔的《历史批判方法》、格哈德·迈尔的《圣经诠释学》和阿明·西尔辛的《圣经诠释学》——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，以探索这一未被探索的研究领域的多样性。这一争论也可以看作是关于“唯独圣经”原则的争论。无论是从其以前的教条框架的训诂解放和发展的历史批判方法已经破坏了其在现代思想的合理性。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鸿沟。最初的工作计划需要在两个方面进行扩展，以满足项目的主要目标，即更好地理解和认识所研究的领域：一方面，采访了更多的神学家，分析了更多的材料，包括数字媒体。这符合该领域的多元化，例如，越来越多的福音派公共许可学院。此外，德国福音派对现代性某些特征的排斥已经被批判性地回顾和历史背景化。目前的申请要求将资助延长一年。
