| Summary: | In Part 1, the philosophy of religion, theological and cultural-theoretical prerequisites of Christian Songs are first dealt with. To this end, the terms religion, religious culture, culture, mythology, and beliefs are clarified. In the next step, Martin Luther's Protestant perspective on existence is presented in more detail. This is because Martin Luther's religious doctrine forms the theological basis of Christian Songs, but is not particularly well known to the public, which is determined by the Zeitgeist, or has recently been distorted. Finally, to understand the worldwide success of the singing movement, its performance is briefly addressed. In the second part, selected Christian hymns are analyzed to see to what extent they reflect the Protestant understanding of existence in the sense of Martin Luther, especially the theological principles sola gratia - by grace alone - and sola fide - by faith alone. |
