A contribution to the phenomenology of the biblical faith of Klaus Held

Publication at Faculty of Education |

Abstract

This text presents phenomenological analyses of Biblical faith from a distinguished Husserl scholar, Klaus Held. The starting point of Held's analyses provides the motif of 'I can' ('ich kann'), known from Husserl's constitutive research of the pure and living 'I'.

Held argues that in the Biblical world only God's 'I can' transcends every human and finite 'I can', so that the unique kind of universality is constituted. Here, we continue with Held's analyses by following the structures of time and space as the co-constitutives of the world as apperceived in the Biblical tradition.
