The proposed project investigates the theme of creation in the Gospel of John with regard to its traditional historical basis, its literary aesthetic design and its theological and ethical implications. So the relevance of the theme is already given by the fact that it is a project on a central theological theme of one of the main canonical writings of Christianity and at the same time on an influential testimony of world literature. It is all the more astonishing that this has hardly been researched so far and that there are only four brief English-language monographs, each with a limited text stock and methodology. Furthermore, questions of creation ethics in theology should also be discussed in dialogue with the canonical writings of the Bible, which in view of the current ethical questions of the life sciences (e.g. longevity research) and the climate change debate attaches additional importance to the project. The project is based on the hypothesis that the Gospel of John is developing an original theology and ethics of creation. It finds support already by the prominent beginning of the Prologue of John, which is understood with explicit allusion to Gen 1 also as a reading instruction to the effect that in the following Gospel the motive of creation is to be perceived, which in many places is quite evident (e.g. clay in Jn 9; garden motive in Jn 18-19; breathing in of the breath of life in Jn 20,22 with connection to Gen 2,7 etc.). It is a question both of the creation of man and of life in the wide horizon of the cosmos. The evangelist starts from the endangered and fallen creation and searches for possibilities of restitution of life in the face of death. By linking the history of Jesus with the fundamental questions of creation theology, new insights into life and death or becoming and perishing are thus gained, which at the same time can give impulses for current debates in theology and ethics.The project pursues three subgoals: - Traditional historical development of the relevant ancient discourses of creation, especially in Second Temple Judaism (especially through expert workshops)- Analysis of elected pericopes and mapping of a semantic creation network in the Fourth Gospel- Describing a theology and an ethics of creation in the Fourth Gospel, amenable for current debates.

拟议的项目研究约翰福音中的创造主题，包括其传统历史基础，文学美学设计及其神学和伦理含义。因此，这个主题的相关性已经被这样一个事实所赋予，即它是一个关于基督教主要经典著作之一的中心神学主题的项目，同时也是世界文学的一个有影响力的见证。更令人惊讶的是，迄今为止几乎没有人对此进行研究，只有四本简短的英文专著，每本都有有限的文本和方法。此外，神学中的创造伦理问题也应该在与《圣经》经典著作的对话中讨论，鉴于目前生命科学（例如长寿研究）和气候变化辩论的伦理问题，《圣经》经典著作更加重视该项目。该项目是基于这样的假设，即约翰福音正在发展一个原始的神学和创造伦理学。它发现支持已经由突出的开始，序言的约翰，这是理解与明确的典故，以创1也作为一个阅读指令的效果，在以下福音的动机，创造是要感知，这在许多地方是相当明显的（例如，若望福音9章中的粘土;若望福音18-19章中的花园动机;若望福音20，22章中与创世纪2，7等有关的生命气息的吸入）。这是一个在广阔的宇宙视野中创造人类和生命的问题。福音传道者从濒临灭绝和堕落的受造之物开始，寻找在死亡面前恢复生命的可能性。通过将耶稣的历史与创造神学的基本问题联系起来，从而获得了对生与死或成为与灭亡的新见解，同时可以推动当前神学和伦理学的辩论。该项目追求三个子目标：- 有关古代创世论述的传统历史发展，特别是在第二圣殿犹太教（特别是通过专家讲习班）-分析当选的persones和映射的语义创造网络在第四福音-描述一个神学和道德的创造在第四福音，适合目前的辩论。
