Dorothee Sölle (1929-2023) ist die bekannteste, einflussreichste und umstrittenste Theologin des 20. Jahrhunderts. Bis in die Gegenwart scheiden sich die Geister an ihrem unorthodoxen, dezidiert politischem Christentum. Doch trotz Sölles Prominenz sind viele Hintergründe und das genaue Profil ihrer Theologie bis heute kaum erforscht. Der vorliegende Band blickt auf das Werk der Theologin aus verschiedenen Perspektiven. Dabei kommen in erster Linie biographische, theologiehistorische und zeitgeschichtliche Zugänge zum Zug. Rekonstruiert werden unter anderem die akademischen Prägungen Sölles, ihre Beziehungen zur Gott-ist-tot-Theologie, ihr Profil als Germanistin, ihr Selbstverständnis als Religionslehrerin sowie ihre Beziehungen zur kirchlichen Lage in West- und Ostdeutschland.
Mit Beiträgen von Caspar De Boor, Philipp David, Katja Dubiski, Christian Kamleiter, Katrin König, Annika Krahn, Harald Matern, Michael Murrmann-Kahl, Marlene Sinhuber, Joachim von Soosten, Christiana Steiner und Daniel Weidner.
[Dorothee Sölle's Theology. Suggestions - Beginnings - Relationships]
Dorothee Sölle (1929-2023) was one of the first female voices in German-speaking theology in the 20th century. She dedicated her thinking to the big political and social issues of her time and provoked a variety of reactions in the public sphere. Until now, her theology and its impact have hardly been the subject of academic study. This volume offers a wide range of new perspectives on her: Sölle's beginnings in the academia are presented and set against the background of contemporary debates. Her relationship to the »death of God« theology, to the Kirchentag movement and to Christians in East Germany are discussed, as well as her self-image as a teacher of religion and the impulses of her theology for the current debate on theodicy.
