Narratives Concerning the Cross and Resurrection in Christian Theology and Ecumenical Spirituality

该项目探讨了宗教和灵性在调查新约中十字架和复活的基督教核心概念中的相关性，以及其解释，转换和功能背景的三个突出例子，直到今天，在基督教传统中创造了话语实践（路德，泰泽尔，蒂利希）。该项目始于一个假设，即基督教的核心神学隐喻——十字架和复活——可以被理解为启发性意义上的“弹性叙事”，它们的语义、表现力和结构动力学与当前医学、治疗、牧师关怀和精神关怀的实践直接或间接相关。原因是：(1)叙事是被理解为一个单一的叙事（“十字架与复活”），还是作为两个不同的叙事（“十字架”和“复活”），或者被简化为叙事的一部分（“十字架”或“复活”），这是至关重要的区别；(2)在叙事的现代转型中，哪些语义学起了作用，例如，面向超越（“新存在”）或面向人类学（“脆弱与希望”）。这些问题的答案在历史上各不相同，因此很可能概括地代表了复原力的问题：一个正在经历严重的生存危机的人是否仍然专注于悲伤和死亡，或者她是否能够从悲伤和死亡中重新开始生活？像所有其他项目一样，TP 2的任务是通过(A)分析我们的话语实践，(B)分析文本基础，以及(C)系统地解释研究结果，以实现我们的共同研究目标和开发可能的应用。研究成果将在高级期刊上发表3篇论文，向更广泛的公众发表3篇论文，以及一本系统神学专著。

The project addresses the relevance of religion and spirituality for resilience in investigating the Christian core notions of cross and resurrection in the New Testament and three prominent examples of its interpretation, transformation and functional context which until today coin the discoursive praxis within the Christian tradition (Luther, Taizé, Tillich). The project starts with the hypothesis that Christianity's central theological metaphors - cross and resurrection - can be understood as "resilience-narratives" in a heuristic sense, and that their semantics, performative power and structural dynamics are of direct or indirect relevance for the current practice in medicine, therapy, pastoral care and spiritual care. Reason for that is (1) the crucial difference whether the narrative is understood as a single narrative ("cross and resurrection"), or as two different narratives ("cross" and "resurrection"), or as reduced to one part of the narrative ("cross" or "resurrection"); (2) the question which semantics are in play in the modern transformations of the narrative, f. ex. oriented towards transcendence ("new being") or towards anthropology ("frailty and hope"). The answers to these questions vary in history and are thus likely to represent the question of resilience in a nutshell: Does a person who is experiencing severe, existential crisis remain focussed on sorrow and death, or is she able to anticipate life anew from within sorrow and death? Like in all other projects the task of TP 2 is carried out by (A) the analysis of our discoursive praxis, (B) the analysis of the textual basis, and (C) the systematic interpretation of the research results for our common research goals and the development of possible applications. The output will be presented in 3 papers in high-ranking journals, 3 additional presentations to the broader public, and a monograph in systematic theology.
