Zurück zur allegorischen Exegese?

Recently allegorical interpretations of biblical texts, which go back directly to the exegesis of the Church Fathers, are becoming more presentable. The goal of this lecture is to inspire a critical-feminist discussion about this phenomenon, to point out the dangers and ask – last but not least in a self-critical view – for the reasons that bring forward such a development.

Imagery of Early Christian Rituals in the Greek Physiologus

The paper focuses on the imagery of early Christian rituals (esp. of the eucharist and baptism) as they are found in allegorical interpretations of beasts in the Greek Physiologus and trace the way of selected motifs from the New Testament to this first Christian interpretation of nature in context of early Christian literature and theology. A special attention is given to the pelican, which is one of the most famous symbols of the eucharist, and to impressive baptismal imageries in the chapter on the eagle, on the snake and in some other chapters. The aim of the analysis is to explore the theological roots of the ritual imagery of Physiologus and to show that this work of early Egyptian Christianity is anything but 'unsakramental' as argued by E. Peterson (1959).
