Ermächtigung zum Hören: Grundriss einer biblischen Hördidaktik

A layout of a Bible didactical concept of hearing and listening

Abstract

To establish a sound basis for an interface that connects biblical studies with the interests of pupils, this paper tries to establish the auditory dimension as a pivotal experience. Such an approach corresponds with the didactic concepts as laid down in the Bible itself as well as with the nature of human beings. In order to enable biblical texts to get a hearing that provides a “moment of freedom” (H. Domin), a re-enactment of these texts in an auditory form, which contains not only the content of the narrative but also the formal elements, structures and principles of composition of the biblical sequence, is mandatory.
