THE EXCESS OF GOD? ST. PAUL IN A POST-SECULAR WORLD
Języki publikacji
Abstrakty
The article proposes an interpretation of the Letters of St. Paul based on Heidegger's early lectures. It introduces the notion of excess. Excess (nad-miar) is not only the opposite of what can be measured (miara); it is above all something that exceeds measurement, though in an immeasurable (bez-mierne) way. Excess expresses the actual infinity of the subject while the “immeasurable” expresses his potential infinity. This difference between the immeasurable and excess is visible in the context of messianic temporality. Those who await a temporal messiah treat him as an extension of the immeasurable world of their own expectations. Christians do not expect a specific event; for them treating God as a third person is senseless. Their concept of God arose in the temporality in which all things are accomplished in accordance with Paul's motto, "Stay alert, stand firm in the faith, show courage, be strong. Everything you do should be done in love." (1 Cor 16:13-14). This is a subjective figure for taking responsibility for living, thinking and acting, which are to take place in love and expresses a revolution, for such subjective figures change the very character of Christian life.
