Schuld und Vergebung

The theme of guilt and forgiveness runs like a golden thread through the story of Michael Beintker's theological life. In this Festschrift dedicated to him, twenty eight theologians approach the multifarious aspects and problems of this theme from all different directions. The nexus of guilt and forgiveness in all its complex individual set-ups, systematic requirements, and ideological dazzlements, lends itself to study through Michael Beintker's work. In the volume's contributions, the authors interpret central biblical texts, present important Christian traditions and constellations, and question the relevance of the topic in today's lifeworld. Practical-theological considerations are allowed their say as much as ecumenical aspects.
