Abstract
Anhand dreier exemplarisch ausgewählter
Modelle theologischer Anthropologie fragt
der Beitrag nach der Produktion normativer
Umrisse von Geschlecht in der christlichen
Tradition. Der Ansatz Papst Benedikts XVI.,
der der feministischen Theologin Catharina
Halkes und der des Kirchenvaters Gregor
von Nyssa werden darauf hin analysiert,
wie sie menschliche Geschlechtlichkeit in
ihrer Qualität und Stabilität, insbesondere
im Blick auf die verschiedenen Aspekte der
‚Heilsgeschichte‘ (‚Schöpfung‘, ‚Sünde‘, ‚Versöhnung‘,
‚Erlösung‘), konzeptualisieren. Abschließend
plädiert der Beitrag für eine systematische
Berücksichtigung theologischer
Vorstellungswelten in der Geschlechterforschung,
um den häufi g angenommenen
Kon nex von Geschlecht und (christlicher) Religion
theoretisch präziser zu erfassen, sowie
für eine strategische Pluralisierung innertheologischer
Diskurse.
Between Creation and Salvation: Three Christian-Theological Variations on Sexuality Based on three exemplarily selected models of theological anthropology, the article investigates the normative production of sex/gen- der in Christian traditions. The approaches of Pope Benedict XVI., feminist theologian Catharina Halkes, and Church Father Gregory of Nyssa are analyzed in how they conceptualize human sexuality in its quality and stability, particularly with regard to the different aspects of ‚salvific history‘ (‚creation‘, ‚sin‘, ‚reconciliation‘, ‚salvation‘). Finally, the arti- cle argues for a systematic consideration of theological imaginations by gender research, in order to understand more accurately the frequently assumed connection between sex/ gender and (Christian) religion, as well as for a strategic proliferation of inner theological discourses.
