Personhood and Sexuality – Systematic-theological Reflextions and Perspectives

The author deals with the topic of personhood/human being and sexuality from a systematic-theological perspective and seeks the link between theological and human sciences. He reflects on different approaches to the phenomenon of sexuality, discusses anthropological and sociological conditions, taking into account the insights of contemporary human sciences. He then presents the basic principles of a biblical-theological understanding of sexuality and reflects the outcome hermeneutically. The insights of the human sciences on the phenomenon of sexuality are thereby perceived and brought into their meaning, but also questioned from the point of view of theology. Finally, he outlines the context of personhood/human being and sexuality in a systematic-theological perspective that can serve as a theological-ethical orientation for interpreting and dealing with sexuality.
