Description:... Theology is increasingly abandoning the eschatological outlook in favor of a more solid stand in the present. But to realize the spirit of the present, to translate it and present it, is a theological challenge. This exceedingly great task can be done through miniaturization. The Munich systematic theologian Hermann Timm develops an aesthetical-theological interpretation of everyday life which is following Gerhard von Rad's theological outlook and is downsizing mega-theologies by taking up the language of Luther's catechisms from a perspective of lifeworld phenomenology. An anniversary symposium at the Theological Faculty of the University of Halle-Wittenberg has taken up Timm's impulses with own interpretations.
