Abstract

English

This work deals with privacy in systematic theological depth. The first part explores the question of what is being discussed and negotiated when the topic of privacy arises. This initial question was based on the observation that the concept of privacy itself has few theoretical contours, yet is used in a highly normative way, raising the question of what the concept of privacy is actually used for in its respective contextual setting. The results of these studies are brought together in an attempt to reveal the general structures of the concept of privacy. The second part follows on from this revelation of the structures of privacy and explores them in greater depth in a systematic theological context. Theological concepts that refer sufficiently to privacy are examined in terms of their respective use of the concept of privacy and their specific systematics and contours. In the first part of these studies, an inner dual structure of privacy was uncovered, which moves between the poles of “privation” (deprivation) and “liberation” (freedom), which is reflected in systematic-theological, justification-theological, and eschatological orientations that refer explicitly to privacy.
