Firmament und Kosmos: Das Verhältnis des Propriums alttestamentlicher Schöpfungstheologie und der altorientalischen "Cognitive Environment" als Prototyp eines Kommunikationsmodells zwischen Theologie und moderner Naturwissenschaft

    Activity: Examination › Supervision of PhD candidate

    Description

    This study aims at bridging the gap between the language games of theology and science. In its quest for an appropriate model, this study orients itself to the biblical tradition. Using insights and methods from biblical studies, the dialogue strategy is disclosed which Israel used to relate its own theological convictions to the ancient Near Eastern environment. This point of view is tested and verified exegetically in a detailed study of conceptions of the firmament in the ancient Near East and in Genesis 1.
