Summary: | What characterises religious meaning-making on the boundary between church and sports? Drawing on Sanne F. Akkerman and Arthur Bakker's theory about boundary crossing, this article analyses religious meaning-making in sermons from Christian services in the context of international sports events. The article demonstrates that potential learning mechanisms at this boundary are more effective when not only seeking harmonious coordination and legitimisation but also bringing out differences and confrontation. Der Aufsatz analysiert zwei Predigten, die im Zusammenhang von sportlichen Großereignissen gehalten wurden, mithilfe der Theorie rhetorischer Grenzüberschritte nach Sanne F. Akkerman und Arthur Bakker. Dabei treten Erfahrungen menschlicher Begrenztheit und Verletzlichkeit als ein hermeneutischer Fokus hervor, der die wechselseitige Erschließung von Sport und Religion ermöglicht. |
