It draws on C{\´e}line Hoyeau's excellent study of those founders of new spiritual movements in France who were later exposed as abusers. It also presents my research on the sacred in its dangerous connection to the victimizing sacrifice. My basic thesis is that exploring the link between vulnerability and resilience is not enough.

Das liegt zweifelsohne an der besonderen christlichen Rezeption, aber auch an der literaturgeschichtlichen und theologischen Bedeutung der Kapitel Jes 40-55. Eine weitere Studie dazu k{\"o}nnte in der Tat als Zeit- und Ressourcenverschwendung gewertet werden, w{\"a}re da nicht die theologisch herausragende Bedeutung der Gottesknechtslieder {\"u}ber den literarischen Horizont Deuterojesaja hinaus. Sp{\"a}testens seit den Arbeiten von Ulrich Berges steht die lange Zeit angenommene Eigenst{\"a}ndigkeit der Textgruppe Gottesknechtslieder in Frage. Diese Sichtweise er{\"o}ffnet einerseits die M{\"o}glichkeit, die Funktionalit{\"a}t der Lieder innerhalb Deuterojesajas neu zu beschreiben, andererseits vernachl{\"a}ssigt sie eine genauere Beschreibung der Funktion des Gottesknechts im historischen Kontext des zu Ende gehenden babylonischen Exils. Diese Arbeit versucht mit den Methoden der historisch-kritischen Exegese zu rekonstruieren, wie eine prophetische Figur vom exilierten Teil Israels erwartet, als Gottesknecht zu wirken, aber zur Kenntnis nehmen muss, dass ihre Zeitgenossen dazu nicht bereit sind. Nach ihrem Scheitern, das in den Gottesknechtslieder verarbeitet ist, wird das prophetische Tun dieser Figur allerdings als Verwirklichung des Knechtsauftrags gedeutet. Die Besonderheit dieser Deutung des Knechtsauftrags im Kontext des Werkes Jes 40-55 liegt in seiner Erkl{\"a}rung des Leidens des Knechts: Der Knecht leidet wegen der Vergehen seiner Zeitgenossen. Innerhalb des alttestamentlichen Diskurses zum Problem der Theodizee liegt somit das Modell einer synchronen Schuldverkettung vor. Diese Bedeutung, die dem Tod des Knechts zugeschrieben wird, f{\"u}hrt sogar im klassischen Tun-Ergehen-Zusammenhang zur Vorstellung eines guten Ergehens des Knechts im Jenseits. Die erste Vorstellung von Auferstehung kann somit im 4. Gottesknechtslied verortet werden. Die Besonderheit des Knechtsauftrags zeigt eine weitere bedeutende theologische Weichenstellung im Alten Testament: Der Knechtsauftrag beinhaltet die Etablierung der g{\"o}ttlichen Rechts- und Heilsordnung f{\"u}r alle Nationen, dessen Licht der Knecht ist. Die Gottesknechtslieder sind also auch unverzichtbarer Bestandteil in der Wende zur Vorstellung eines Heilsuniversalismus. Diese Arbeit bietet demzufolge nicht nur eine Synthese der wichtigsten Forschungsfragen in Bezug auf die Gottesknechtslieder, sondern beschreibt ausf{\"u}hrlich die Relevanz dieser Textzeugnisse innerhalb alttestamentlicher Theologie.}, subject = {Heilswille Gottes}, language = {de} } @phdthesis{Chikezie2017, author = {Chikezie, Aloysius Cheta}, title = {THE VALUE OF WORK IN NIGERIA with Reference to Laborem Exercens}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-147592}, school = {Universit{\"a}t W{\"u}rzburg}, year = {2017}, abstract = {Work is seen by many thinkers as the fundamental dimension of man`s existence on earth. Through work, he provides his basic necessities on earth and co-operate with God in the work of creation. He received this mandate to work from the very beginning of creation by God. In carrying out this mandate, man every human being reflects the very action of the creator of the Universe. God worked and intended that man who is created in His image and likeness continues the work of creation by working. Even though Man suffers and sweats through work and yet, in spite of all this toil-perhaps in a sense because of it - work is a good thing for man. It is not only good in the sense that it is useful or something to enjoy; it is also good as being something worthy, that is to say something that corresponds to man's dignity that expresses this dignity and increases it. This project examines man as a creature called to work and born into work. It is true that through work, man provides himself and his family with the basic necessities of life and everyday needs for the reason he charges wages for his sweat. Work goes beyond and should exceed the boundaries of the material benefit that comes out of it to the satisfaction and fulfilment for the very purpose we should work. The modern society has attached so much importance to money and material possession, the question then is how do we go along working in the spirit of improvement and renewal of the earth? The modern man understands work only as a means of making his daily bread. For this reason, he engages himself in an occupation that he has little or no interest in. He ends up quarrelling everyday with the people that he or she is supposed to serve through work. The result is low work output and waste of talents and the society loses an opportunity for improvement as every creature is supposed to contribute uniquely.

The work discloses the extent 'displacement of value' in Igboland has contributed to the devaluation of human dignity and the attempts made to combat it. This displacement resulted in what we can call "value crisis".

In order to x-ray properly the heart of this research and communicate the necessary messages, the work is presented in six chapters. However, this summary will not be presented in chapters. Thus the need for a research on the reason for the failings and crisis of approach regarding this aspect of Igbo life that deals with the value of human dignity. This comes to term with the question which asked has the interest in the enhancement of the dignity of man waned because the effort towards this goal seem futile and unnecessary…Or is human dignity something we care about but take for granted as a cultural inheritance that no longer needs defence?"

It remains a question of how to respond appropriately to the influx of people fearing for their lives. This paper examines empirically how young people from different denominations in Germany (n = 2022) and how Roman Catholics from 10 countries (n = 5363) evaluate refugee rights. It also investigates whether individual religiosity moderates the influence of denomination or national context. The results show that there are no significant differences between respondents from different denominations, but there are significant differences between respondents from different countries. However, religiosity was not found to moderate the influence of denomination or national context.
