Abstract

Heilige Schriften einmal nicht unter inhaltlichen Aspekten, sondern als materielle Gegenstände in den Fokus zu rücken, ist das Anliegen dieses Bandes. Wie alle von Menschen geschaffenen Gegenstände existieren auch Heilige Schriften nicht losgelöst von räumlicher Präsenz und menschlichem Handeln, das sich an und mit ihnen vollzieht und ihnen dabei Bedeutungen zuschreibt. In welchem Zusammenhang stehen Gestaltungsweisen dieser Objekte und ihre Verwendung, worin unterscheiden sich Heilige Schriften von anderen Objekten und ist es immer nur der Inhalt, der Heilige Schriften zu etwas Heiligem macht? In einer interdisziplinären Diskussion, auf deren Vorträgen und Ergebnissen die Artikel dieses Bandes basieren, ließen sich differenzierte Antworten unter Kontrastierung verschiedener Kulturen und Religionen finden: vom Alten Orient (Ägypten, Mesopotamien) über das Judentum und christliche europäische Kunstgeschichte bis hin zum Alten China und dem modernen Bali. Der Einbezug der bislang vernachlässigten, aber für ein umfassendes Verständnis essentiellen materiellen Seite und der Praxis bietet neue Impulse für die Diskussion um die Bedeutung und Funktionen des Phänomens ,Heilige Schriften'.

Abstract

The Death of Sacred Texts draws attention to a much neglected topic in the study of sacred texts: the religious and ritual attitudes towards texts which have become old and damaged and can no longer be used for reading practices and in religious worship. This book approaches religious texts and scriptures by focusing on their physical properties and the dynamic interactions of devices and habits that lie beneath and within a given text.. In the last decades a growing body of research studies has directed attention to the multiple uses and ways people encounter written texts and how they make t

Abstract

This volume contains the papers read at the Leiden Conference on Canonization and Decanonization of 9-10 January 1997. The emphasis in this rich and wide-ranging contribution to the subject is on the processes of canonization and decanonization in several religions and on the phenomenon of religious canons as well. It has two sections: (De)canonization and the History of Religions, and (De)canonization and Modern Society. In the first section processes out of which canons eventually emerge are highlighted in contributions devoted to particular religions, viz. African religions, Judaism and Christianity, Islam, Buddhism and Zoroastrianism. The articles of the second section are of particular relevance to the contemporary situation in the western world, dealing with aspects such as forms of the survival of a canon in processes of modernization, canonization and the challenge of plurality, and canonization and hermeneutics. The reader may benefit even more from this volume as it contains also An Annotated Bibliography on the subject.

Scripture and knowledge: an essay on religious epistemology

Abstract

At the core of Scripture and Knowledge lies the problem of the nature of religious knowledge. The author argues that religion is a particular framework rather than a particular content or defined set of performances. He sees this framework as epistemological, that is, as one that furnishes believers with a conception of knowledge alternative to that of philosophical reasoning. The thesis on the epistemological nature of religion will be developed by the examination of the concept of scripture as a body of authoritative and even infallible texts. The concept of scripture is presented as one of the constitutive concepts of the epistemological framework of religion. The author argues that the various scriptures and their commentaries should be understood as the arena within which the epistemological process of religion takes place and the central epistemological means by which religious knowledge is made possible.
