Determined to infuse her life with thrills, he orchestrates a dance of adventure and passion, embracing his moniker-the Earl of Persuasion-wholeheartedly.

Schleiermacher gilt als einer der bedeutendsten Prediger der vergangenen 200 Jahre, was in der Forschung jedoch kaum zum Tragen kommt. Dabei sind die Predigten nicht weniger als das theologische Kontinuum des schleiermacherschen OEuvres. Sebastian Rink untersucht das in der Kritischen Gesamtausgabe neu edierte, umfangreiche Gesamtwerk der Predigten Schleiermachers mithilfe digitaler Werkzeuge. Er leistet damit einen exemplarischen Beitrag zur methodischen Weiterentwicklung digital unterstützter theologischer Forschung. Anhand der Funktionen des Ewigkeitsbegriffs zeichnet die Arbeit in sieben Phasen den Zuschnitt und die Entwicklungen der Theologie Schleiermachers vor dem Hintergrund seiner ebenfalls vernachlässigten Eschatologie nach. Insbesondere durch Vergleiche mit den nicht-homiletischen Schriften wird die Bedeutung der Predigten Schleiermachers für eine Interpretation seiner Theologie neu in den Fokus gerückt. "Ewigkeit" wird dabei als ein hermeneutischer Schlüsselbegriff profiliert. Mit der Arbeit liegt eine im Blick auf den Untersuchungsgegenstand der Predigten erstmals umfassende und zudem methodisch innovative Untersuchung der Theologie Schleiermachers vor.
