About the Book

English summary: Religion has to do with God and the world. This volume contains an interdisciplinary discussion on the interpretation of the world by religions in the Ancient Near East, Greco-Roman antiquity, the Old and New Testament, and by late ancient Christianity and Islam. The basic categories for interpreting the world are chaos and cosmos, creation and eschatology, heaven and earth or the world of the living and the netherworld. The ten case studies in this book examine the topography of such world structures, and in doing so show the differences as well as the similarities between patterns of religious hermeneutics. The authors make it clear that whoever asked about the world and the powers that ruled it between the second millennium BC and the first millennium AD was also asking about the power of God - and thus about the purpose and meaning of the world. German description: Religion hat mit Gott und der Welt zu tun. Wie Religionen im Alten Orient, in der griechischen und agyptischen Antike, im Alten und Neuen Testament, im spatantiken Christentum und im Islam die Welt deuten, wird in dem vorliegenden Band im interdisziplinaren Gesprach erortert. Grundlegende Kategorien der Welterklarung sind Chaos und Kosmos, Schopfung und Weltende, himmlische und irdische Welt bzw. die Welt der Lebenden und die Unterwelt. In zehn Fallstudien fragen die Autoren nach der Topographie solcher Weltkonstruktionen, wobei sowohl die Unterschiede zwischen den Deutungsmustern der einzelnen Religionen als auch die Analogien zu Tage treten. Klar ist: Wer zwischen dem zweiten Jahrtausend vor und dem ersten Jahrtausend nach Christus nach der Welt und den in ihr waltenden Machten fragt, fragt auch nach der Macht Gottes - und damit nach Ziel und Sinn der Welt. Mit Beitragen von: Friederike Herklotz, Wayne Horowitz, Paul A. Kruger, Todd Lawson, Daniel Ogden, Henrik Pfeiffer, Maria E. Subtelny, Claus Wilcke, Oda Wischmeyer, Frances Young
