| Summary: | Summary Anselm of Canterbury’s question "Cur Deus Homo - why God Became Man?" was hotly debated and elicited a vast plurality of answers throughout the history of Christian theology. Nevertheless, this question never has been answered officially by an authoritative doctrinal decision of the Church but has been left to theological reasoning, whose core issue, therefore, is a hermeneutics of the cross.Starting with Anselm’s famous answer and its deficiencies, the essay tries to show that a deeper and more convincing insight into the "pondus peccati - the severity of sin" is to be gained by an interpretation of Shakespeare’s Macbeth: The severity of sin lies in the consciousness of guilt.And it is shown that Luther, among others, interprets the cross of Christ as an answer to the question raised by Shakespeare’s Macbeth: „To know my deed, 'twere best not know myself." |
