Die Auferweckung des Lazarus. Die Anhermeneutik des Ohrs, der singende Jesus und der Chor bei Johann Gottfried Herder
The Raising of Lazarus.The Ahermeneutics of the Ear, the Singing Jesus and the Choir in Johann Gottfried Herder

Summary/Abstract: Firstly, the article examines Herder’s take on the ›Enlightenment theology of wonder‹ (revelation, ›theologia naturalis‹, rationalism, supranaturalism, deism, neology, materialism, historical-critical Bible studies). Secondly, it explains the relationship between aesthetics in music and theology, thereby illuminating two aspects: The first aspect illustrates that the message of the Bible cannot be transmitted by means of propositional knowledge, but rather via enthusiastic-emphatic ahermenutic experience of experience. The second aspect illustrates that it is primarily music that enacts the possibility of experiencing the ambivalent experience of revelation and wonder.
