Opis

In the preface, this book gives some hints for personal meditation with biblical texts, and then demonstrates with 95 meditations that have been carried out what comes out when meditating on biblical texts, if the original spontaneity of the ideas that have arisen is structured, filed and put into a readable linguistic form. The linguistic form in this book splits up into different forms: into the bound (poem) form according to the pattern of Japanese haikus, into cascades of word associations, into extremely shortened argumentations and into mini-sermons, which however do not deal with the religious, historical and ethical background of the biblical passages, as a congregational sermon should. The fact that several of the 95 biblical meditations relate to the feasts of Christmas, Easter and Pentecost does have a congregational background: they were written for the paper "Blick aus der Gemeinde" (View from the congregation) of the Lutheran congregation of Vienna-Floridsdorf, read in silence and largely - as the author was able to experience - affirmed. This book has been translated with Artificial Intelligence.
