Begriffsverwirrung? Interpretation – Analyse – Bedeutung – Applikation …: Annäherungen an ein schwieriges Begriffsgefüge

Approaching a complicated conceptual framework

Abstract

Empirical research on the reception of biblical texts confronts scientific exegesis with valid and challenging requests and demands. The hermeneutic question of the compatibility of interpretations resulting out of different contexts (e.g. scientific exegesis and ordinary readers‘ exegesis) plays an important role. Taking these requests seriously by coherently restructuring fundamental and central aspects of the theory of scientific interpretation, the present article attempts to offer a stimulating approach for further investigation.
