| description | Daily devotionals exploring spiritual themes in Harry Potter, youth pastors giving sermons wearing Jedi robes, missionary groups using Bilbo's journey to share the Gospel of Christ: There is apparently a high level of interest within the Christian community to engage with popular culture. This applies in particular to fictional works dealing with the supernatural or fantastic otherworlds. The aim of this study is to show how fantasy literature can be used in modern society to articulate religious themes. The focus lies on Christian literature such as devotional books and didactic resources for ministry addressing Christian readers in Germany, the United Kingdom and the United States of America. By analysing Christian literature reflecting Harry Potter, His Dark Materials and Left Behind (works of fantasy that strongly differ in their engagement with religious themes) this thesis shows how Christian teachers, apologists, writers and speakers create biblical analogies and use (religious) archetypes to build a bridge between the narratives of popular culture, Christian tradition and the reader’s personal story. |

Andachtsbücher zu Harry Potter zum täglichen Gebrauch, Gottesdienste in Hogwarts-Roben oder Jedi-Gewändern: Es fällt auf, dass ein großes Interesse am Einsatz von populären Medienerzeugnissen in christlich-religiösen Kontexten besteht. Hierbei stechen vor allem erbauliche Veröffentlichungen zu Werken hervor, die wunderbare Realitätssysteme enthalten. Die vorliegende Dissertation untersucht, welche mit Religion zusammenhängenden Leistungen die populäre Fantasy-Literatur für christliche Rezipienten erfüllen kann. Im Fokus stehen dabei Publikationen für christliche Lesergruppen aus Deutschland, Großbritannien und den USA. Ausgehend von modernisierungstheoretischen, lesepsychologischen und religionssoziologischen Modellen wird am Beispiel christlicher Begleitliteratur zu Harry Potter, Left Behind und His Dark Materials herausgearbeitet, wie Fantasy-Serien, die ganz unterschiedlich in ihrer Thematisierung von Religion sind, zur Artikulation von Religion in modernen Gesellschaften aufbereitet werden. 2021-02-10T12:58:18Z 2017-11-01 23:55:55 2019-11-28 13:48:22 2020-04-01T13:21:08Z 2017 book 640387 OCN: 1030819185 https://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/37247 9783863953294 https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/37900 ger open access image/jpeg image/jpeg image/jpeg image/jpeg image/jpeg image/jpeg n/a n/a n/a n/a n/a n/a https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/20.500.12657/37247/1/gebbe_diss.pdf https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/20.500.12657/37165/1/gebbe_diss.pdf https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/20.500.12657/37165/1/gebbe_diss.pdf https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/20.500.12657/37165/1/gebbe_diss.pdf https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/20.500.12657/37165/1/gebbe_diss.pdf https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/20.500.12657/37165/1/gebbe_diss.pdf Universitätsverlag Göttingen 10.17875/gup2017-1053 10.17875/gup2017-1053 af9011e0-03b9-4a5c-9ae6-b9da4898d1b2 9783863953294 AG Universitätsverlage open access |
