- Zusatztext
- A collection of essays and lectures on current social and theological questions are united in this volume: Are the biblical stories of creation outdated by the theories of evolution? What competencies does Old Testament wisdom foster? Is its educational ideal outdated or trend-setting? What is the relationship between religion and violence? Can religion prevent violence? Is happiness feasible? What is happiness, what is blessing? What do dreams mean in the Bible? Is poverty wanted by God? What strategies against poverty has the Bible developed? Is the Torah still valid today? What was Jesus' attitude towards money? What role does Old Testament prophecy play in the New Testament? Is the Bible humorless? - These questions are asked in different ways in the twelve writings of the Heidelberg exegete gathered here in one volume. This book has been translated with Artificial Intelligence.
