Bekenntnis - Kirche - Recht Synopsis

English summary: Since the Reformation, research in theology and jurisprudence has focused on the legal form of the church and the definition of its theological character, a fact which has at times given rise to controversy and has caused some estrangement between theologians and legal experts in the Protestant religion. These have had an effect on church legislation and the application of the law, on the relationship between the church and the state and on the method of dealing with individual questions pertaining to current controversial issues. Hans Martin Muller attempts to mediate between the theological and the legal points of view in ecclesiastical law and the profession of faith. The purpose of his study is to examine the significance of theology for the practice of governing the church and for the Protestant understanding of the office of the church as well as the connection between the concept of the church and the church order.


German description: Die Rechtsgestalt der Kirche und ihre theologische Wesensbestimmung ist seit der Reformation ein zentraler Forschungsgegenstand in Theologie und Jurisprudenz, der zum Teil zu Kontroversen und im evangelischen Bereich auch zu einer gewissen Entfremdung zwischen Theologen und Juristen gefuhrt hat. Dies hat Auswirkungen auf die kirchliche Gesetzgebung und Rechtsanwendung, auf das Verhaltnis von Kirche und Staat und auf die Behandlung von Einzelfragen zu umstrittenen Zeitproblemen. Hans Martin Muller bemuht sich um die Vermittlung zwischen theologischen und juristischen Gesichtspunkten im Kirchenrecht und Glaubenszeugnis. In seiner Untersuchung wird die Bedeutung der Theologie fur die kirchenleitende Praxis und das evangelische Amtsverstandnis ebenso beleuchtet wie auch der Zusammenhang von Kirchenbegriff und Kirchenverfassung.
