Eine Tagung am Universitätszentrum Theologie beleuchtete den jüdisch-christlichen Dialog nach 1945 und seine Auswirkungen

Der jüdisch-christliche Dialog stand im Mittelpunkt einer Tagung, die von 4. bis 5. April 2014 am Grazer Universitätszentrum Theologie stattfand. Das Symposium wurde vom Institut für Alttestamentliche Bibelwissenschaft organisiert, im Rahmen eines vom Österreichischen Wissenschaftsfonds FWF geförderten Forschungsprojekts unter der Leitung von Univ.-Prof. Dr. Irmtraud Fischer. Im Projekt dokumentiert und analysiert die Dissertantin MMag. Edith Petschnigg die historische Entwicklung des jüdisch-christlichen Dialogs in Österreich und Deutschland nach 1945.

 

„Beinahe die gesamte Kirchengeschichte hindurch definierte sich das Christentum in Abgrenzung zum Judentum. Erst die Tragödie der Schoa markierte für die christliche Theologie einen entscheidenden Wendepunkt in der Definition ihrer Haltung zum Judentum und damit zum ersten Teil ihrer Heiligen Schriften, dem Alten Testament bzw. der Hebräischen Bibel“, erklärt Edith Petschnigg. Ein wesentliches Resultat des allmählich stattfindenden Umdenkprozesses stellt der jüdisch-christliche Dialog dar.

Im Mittelpunkt der internationalen Tagung in Graz standen die Veränderungen in der Theologie, die der jüdisch-christliche Dialog mit sich brachte und bringt. Evangelische, katholische und jüdische ExpertInnen zeichneten wesentliche Stationen dieses theologischen Wandels aus ihrer jeweiligen Perspektive nach. Zu Wort kamen VertreterInnen der alt- und neutestamentlichen Bibelwissenschaft, Liturgiewissenschaft, Feministischen Theologie, Systematischen Theologie und Judaistik.

Am Freitagabend hielt Prof. Dr.h.c. Hans Hermann Henrix aus Aachen im Rahmen der Tagung einen öffentlichen Vortrag im Bildungshaus Mariatrost zum Thema „Kirche ohne Judentum? Eine Vergewisserung der Präsenz des Jüdischen in der ökumenischen Theologie“. Das Bildungshaus Mariatrost schloss damit an seine lange Tradition im Engagement für das jüdisch-christliche Gespräch an. Von 1982 bis 2007 veranstaltete das Haus im Zwei-Jahresrhythmus die „Österreichische Christlich-Jüdische Bibelwoche“, die von der Grazer Erwachsenenbildnerin Dr. Erika Horn initiiert worden war. „Graz spielte im österreichischen Kontext damit lange Zeit eine Vorreiterrolle im Feld des jüdisch-christlichen Gesprächs“, so Petschnigg.

Rescue and risks: Researchers have surveyed public perceptions of AI

The use of artificial intelligence has had to be made transparent since 2 August 2026. The EU’s AI Act, which has been in force since then, also sets out how risky an application is and which security measures apply as a result. However, the assessment of risks by the legislation differs in some cases significantly from the perceptions of the Austrian public. This is the finding of a representative study carried out by data scientist Stefan Thalmann from the University of Graz and his team.

The Healing Sea: Researchers discover new approaches to treating chronic inflammation in sponges

Chronic inflammation plays a key role in many diseases, ranging from metabolic disorders and cardiovascular diseases to tissue damage following injuries or infections. “Normally, the body is able to resolve inflammation on its own. If this process becomes unbalanced, immune cells remain permanently active and continue to drive negative changes in the tissue,” explains Andreas Koeberle, a pharmacist at the University of Graz.
