Bible and Philosophy

The present volume 'Bible and Philosophy' subjects various biblical texts and motifs, including the fall of man, Noah's ark, Jacob's ladder, the Song of Songs, the resurrection of Jesus, the problem of human and divine violence, the singularity and recognisabil-ity of God and the Christian understanding of baptism to philosophical reflection. It is based on an understanding of philosophy that does not renounce the question of truth, but does not reduce truth to that which is quantifiable and measurable either. Biblical hermeneutics which closely links the question of truth to the question of the meaning of human existence and the question of justice is given particular consideration.
