| Summary: | The New Testament often functions as a normative conscience-binding instrument in modern society. A moral issue is at stake, however, when it is interpreted in a conflicting way leading to confusion. This confusion results from either an over- or an underexposure of the different modes of the New Testament texts. With the aid of a communication model the interrelatedness of the linguistic-literary, historical and theological modes of texts are defined in terms of the medium, interlocutors and message. Insights from communication science, linguistics, literary science, historical criticism and reception aesthetics are used to construct a comprehensive exegetical-hermeneutical model. This model will be able to deconstruct the over-interpretation of the New Testament in order to regain the elementary Christian perspective and master symbols which inspired the New Testament authors and led to the canonization of these writings. |
