Don't Think but Look! As an Imperative for (Interreligious) Hermeneutics – Dr. Suleiman

Dr. Farid Suleiman (Universität Greifswald) hat diesen Vortrag am 24.02.2025 im Rahmen der Jahrestagung des Theologischen Forums Christentum-Islam im Tagungshaus der Akademie der Diözese Rottenburg-Stuttgart in Stuttgart-Hohenheim gehalten. He presents the results of case study about the quranic recpetion of late antique debates on theosis (deification). The paper consists of three parts. In the first part, he will address common preconceptions that often unconsciously influence the reading of religious texts. Among other things, he will discuss Ludwig Wittgenstein's imperative “Don’t think but Look!” (PI, 66) and why it is important for an (interreligious) hermeneutics to adhere to it. In the second part of the paper, there will be an examination of the concept of theosis (the transformation of the human being toward divine likeness) as a case study in interreligious hermeneutics, focusing on Rabbinic Judaism, Christian Patristic thought, and the Quran. To achieve this, he will demonstrate that the Quran indeed engages with late antique debates on theosis and positions itself in relation to them—an aspect that has been overlooked in both premodern and modern discussions of the Quran. He will also show how, building on this insight, key passages in the Quran can be read in a new light. The lecture will conclude with final remarks that reflect on and synthesize the insights gained from the first two parts of the paper. #Theosis #Vergöttlichung #InterreligiöseHermeneutik #Judentum #Christentum #Islam #Koran #Wittgenstein #Vorurteile #Religionswissenschaft #Theologie #TheologischesForum
