Description
This lecture explores the validity of cultural prejudices of the Christian faith by outlining its radically hermeneutic nature. The main thesis of this lecture is that Christianity is a deeply historical faith whose constitutive relation to God's self-revelation in Jesus Christ has to be lived out interpretively. Only when the Christian faith understands itself as essentially hermeneutical can it uphold its universal claim to be the only true religion with the humility necessary to serve as a witness to the one who died to save the world.
