Enhancement und Heiligung bei Calvin, von Matthias Felder.

Be better, be more beautiful, perform better! Self-optimization is all the rage. What do theology and the church have to say about it? Should they issue a warning and strike up a cultural pessimistic tune? Maybe they could activate their own resources, which have the potential for discursive compatibility with phenomena of self-improvement. This study brings the discourse of enhancement into dialogue with the locus of healing in Calvin.

Matthias Felder: Der harte Imperativ „Du musst dein Leben ändern“ ist mit Calvin umzudeuten in einen lockenden und anspornenden Zuruf:„Dein Leben wurde geändert. Lebe!“
