Text in German / Taking the plurality of methods in Biblical studies as starting point this dissertation shows a
way to coherent interpretation message.
An analysis of the current state and its long history identifies characteristics preventing
clear interpretation results as well as ways to work out coherent interpretation messages. It is
accompanied by five interpretations of Luke 10:25-37. An interdisciplinary excursus examines
the legal interpretation with its claim of clarity.
Three levels of interpretation are considered as essential for an adequate process of interpretation:
1. Clarification of the literal meaning on the basis of a historical exegesis. The author
calls for the interdisciplinary cooperation of the methods and introduces a synthesis
of methods.
2. Consideration of the reception history of texts. Special attention is given to the authority
of interpretation in the Roman Catholic Church. The author regards "interpretive
communities" as an alternative option.
3. The Holy Spirit's influence on the process of interpretation. Also in post-modern
times interpreters need to "inhabit" the biblical texts. / Biblical and Ancient studies / M.Th. (New Testament)
