Translators’ Afterword
View through CrossRef
This chapter uses philosopher Hans Blumenberg's writing to analyze the Gospel of Matthew and the setting of its Passion to music by Johann Sebastian Bach. Learnedness and digression in the exegesis of the Bible have long been virtues associated with the “lower” of the four senses of scripture. According to Blumenberg, the neglect of the lower senses harbors the danger of turning the criticism of Christianity and religion into either an ineffectual exchange of convictions or into an affirmation of incommunicable beliefs. A contradiction lurks at the heart of the Christian text, which is the conflict between an omnipotent God and the independence of his creation.
