Riskante Satze: Von Gott reden - Erfahrungen mit dem Reden von Gott (Hardcover)

God is unspeakable - but even in post-Christian times he was spoken of everywhere. That is precisely why it is one of the basic tasks of Christian theology to speak of God. People do this in different ways. You sometimes shape theological content in speaking as instructive and informative speech, as arguments for (or against) God. Sometimes they speak from a safe distance, but sometimes they also dare tentative confession and searching for suitable words in poetic circles, speaking at the limits of speaking. The explorations, essays, poetic texts and sketches for practice in this volume focus on the speakers and their spoken language. With a strong focus on the functions of speaking, I ask: What happens to people when they talk about God one way or another? What does it do that speaking has an intrinsically appealing effect on listeners, that it "crackles" in one case, but not in the other? to speak to the inexpressible, and to which limits and abysses of life do they come from case to case? From this, ways to practice are derived that show more concrete design perspectives and can encourage you to speak authentically.
