This innovative volume explores the »iconic problem« in the Abrahamic religions and how it can provide cultural orientation for religious and non-religious people. This »problem« is the presence of two opposed injunctions present in these religions: the prohibition of the making of images and yet the proliferation of images of God within these traditions. In an age shaped by a whirlwind of images through the global media systems – some peaceful, some violent –, the works collected in this book show how the religions can address the »iconic problem« in our age of global image making. Readers interested in the monotheistic religions, the reality of global media, and the formation of human consciousness by religion and media will find here rich and provocative resources for reflection. Dieses innovative Buch bearbeitet das »ikonische Problem«, dass die abrahamitischen Religionen einerseits zahlreiche Gottesbilder entwickeln, sich aber andererseits gegen Gottesbilder aussprechen, ja das »Bildermachen« geradezu verbieten. Diese Spannung hat Auswirkungen bis hin zur Frage nach der geistigen und geistlichen Präsenz Gottes unter den Menschen und zu den Ambivalenzen der Verschleierung. In einer Zeit, in der Menschen mit einer Flut von Bildern – friedlichen wie erschreckenden – überschüttet werden, zeigt das Buch, wie jüdische, christliche und islamische Traditionen mit den kulturellen Orientierungskräften von Gottesbildern und Bilderverbot umgehen. Wer an den Orientierungskräften der großen monotheistischen Religionen und ihren Prägekräften für menschliches Bewusstsein und Erleben interessiert ist, wird in diesem Buch reiche und provokative Denkanstöße finden.
