Geist und Buchstabe : Interpretations- und Transformationsprozesse innerhalb des Christentums. Festschrift für Günter Meckenstock zum 65. Geburtstag

The fascinating connection between the spirit and the letter has had a deep impact on the work of theological scholarship. In this volume, 26 experts examine the connection of spirit and letter by means of examples from the perspectives of philology, hermeneutics, philosophy, theological history, and practical theology. From this multi-disciplinary view, a picture emerges of a dynamic fraught with crisis, with which the specific consciousness of each era interpreted and transformed a unique religious tradition.
