English summary: Holy texts shape the lives, thoughts and deeds of religious individuals and communities. This collection of essays highlights this fact from various angles, illuminating the exegesis of such texts as well as their practical application. What foundation exists for the authority of sacred texts? In what way do they communicate divine knowledge to human beings? And how can their messages be expertly revealed? The relationship of holy texts to literary, philosophical as well as scholarly writings and corpora also play a role in the process. Judaism, Christianity and first millennium Islam are all taken into account along with contemporary Greco-Roman religion. German description: Heilige Texte pragen das Leben, Denken und Handeln religioser Individuen und Gemeinschaften. Das wird in den Beitragen dieses Bandes aus verschiedenen Perspektiven beleuchtet, sowohl im Blick auf die Auslegung (Exegese) als auch auf den praktischen Gebrauch heiliger Texte. Was begrundet die Autoritat solcher Texte? Auf welche Weise vermitteln sie Wissen uber Gottliches an Menschen? Und wie kann ihre Botschaft kunstgerecht erschlossen werden? Dabei spielt auch die Verhaltnisbestimmung heiliger Texte zu literarischen, philosophischen und wissenschaftlichen Schriften und Schriftcorpora eine Rolle. Thematisiert werden das Judentum, das Christentum und der Islam im ersten Jahrtausend, aber auch die zeitgenossische griechisch-romische Religion. Mit Beitragen von: Heike Behlmer, Dmitrij Bumazhnov, Ulrike Egelhaaf-Gaiser, Michael Erler, Alfons Furst, Peter Gemeinhardt, Harald Motzki, Angelika Neuwirth, Maren Niehoff, Hedwig Rockelein, Florian Wilk
