Theorizing Scriptures
Historically, religious scriptures are defined as holy texts that are considered to be beyond the abilities of the layperson to interpret. Their content is most frequently analyzed by clerics who do not question the underlying political or social implications of the text, but use the writing to convey messages to their congregations about how to live a holy existence. In Western society, moreover, what counts as scripture is generally confined to the Judeo-Christian Bible, leaving the voices of minorities, as well as the holy texts of faiths from Africa and Asia, for example, unheard.

Das Minutenbuch Band V
16:24 Uhr cfr Ist es an der Zeit, die Ohnmacht des christlichen Glaubens einzugestehen, dass er gegenwärtig nicht vermag - Herrschende davon abzubringen Kriege vorzubereiten und zu führen, - Soldaten umkehren zu lassen von ihrem Kriegshandwerk, - dass Gemeinden Solidarität mit den Ärmsten am Ort üben und bereitwillig mit ihnen teilen, - dass Industrie, Handel, Wissenschaft und Forschung rüstungsindustriefrei werden - und die Sorge um die Mitwelt selbstverständlich wird? Das Minutenbuch ist kein Brevier, eher ein Longier: Zu jeder Minute eines Tages etwas zum Nachdenken, zum Kopfschütteln, zum Amüsieren, zum Sich-drin-Verlieren, ein Gebet ... - jede Minute eine Entdeckung.
Der 'Sitz im Leben' einer äthiopischen Handschrift
Äthiopische Handschriften sind Zeugnisse einer alten Schriftkultur am Horn von Afrika. Aus Pergament hergestellt und mit haltbarer Tinte beschrieben, spiegeln die Manuskripte über die materielle Beschaffenheit hinaus die gelebte Kultur. An einem illuminierten Evangeliar (17. Jh.) aus dem äthiopischen Kloster Märṭulä Maryam wird dies exemplarisch durch Expertinnen anhand theologischer, liturgiewissenschaftlicher, kunsthistorischer, philologischer, historischer und global- ökumenischer Einordnung aufgezeigt. Zudem geben Qes Merawi Tebege und Negatua Ketema einen persönlich Einblick in die Anfänge der äthiopischen Kirche in Deutschland.
