Birth Metaphors
This article explores the theological and dogmatic significance of Crowning, a controversial sculpture by Esther Strauß depicting the Virgin Mary in the act of childbirth. The work was part of the DonnaStage exhibition commemorating the 100th anniversary of the Linz Cathedral and drew public attention following its vandalism in July 2024. Interpreting the sculpture as a visual exegesis of the Incarnation and the Nicene Creed, the article argues t…

Such an understanding of the Christian vocatio…

The article deals with the question of the generative in John, focusing particularly on the Prologue of the Gospel. Founded on a theological exegesis of the verses 14 and 18b, it provides fundamental reflections on the femininity of God as we…
Baptismal Aesthetics In-Between
Baptism is the sacramental celebration of Christian initiation. Paul's letter to the Romans, which is central to the understanding of baptism, characterizes this sacramental event as a dying with Christ and the beginning of a new existence. This new mode of existence gains an aesthetic-performative form in the liturgical rites. The design of the liturgical spaces can then be understood as "petrified rites". The imperial church basilicas and bapti…
