Henk,

As has usually been the case in our communications on the list: 
Better than I deserve!  I have been having trouble locating a copy of 
GA60, so your summary of the three parts is much appreciated.

The part that seems most relevant to my present concerns, I think, 
might be Part III.  I wonder if Heidegger in any way grounds his 
discussion of Christian facticity in a reading, or a way of reading a 
particular scriptural text. Perhaps you remember that I see him as 
grounding " philosophical facticity" in his very particular way of 
reading particular texts in Parmenides, Aristotle, and Hoelderlin. 
He performs his readings of these texts in a style much akin to 
preaching, and the philosophy to which he tries to "form" his 
students very much resembles a "religiosity."

Thanks again for your "pointings."

Allen

HTML VERSION:

GA60 consists of three parts:

1. Introduction to the phenomenology of religion

2. Augustinus and Neoplatonism

3. The philosophical fundaments of mediaeval mysticism.

In the second part of the "Introduction to the phenomenology of religion" Heidegger gives a "phenomenological explication of concrete religious phenomena in relation to letters of Paul".

He starts with Paul's letter to the Galatians and continues with the two letters to the Thessalonians.

After an introduction to Paul's letter to the Galatians and some remarks he describes Paul's "basic attitude". He then continues with a phenomenology of "Verstehen", religion and the history of religion, the fundamentals of the first origins of Christian religiosity. the phenomenology of homily (Verkuendigung), the fore-conception (Vorgriff) of observation (Betrachtung), and the scheme (Schema) of phenomenological explanation.   

His observations about the first letter to the Theasalonicians starts with methodical problems, the "situation", the "having become" (Gewordensein) of the Thessalonians, and the expectation of the Parousia.

In his treatment of the second letter Heidegger speaks again about the Parousia, the preaching of the Anti-Christ, dogma and "Vollzugszusammenhang".

He continues with a description of factual life experience and preaching, original Christian religiosity, Christian facticity and "Volzugzusammenhang" as 'knowledge".

Subject: phenomenology of religion

I wonder if anyone has any information on a 1920 lecture course entitled    Ph=E4nomenologie des religi=F6sen Lebens.  I understand that might be the only place where Heidegger actually does some Scriptural exegesis in the context of a discussion of hermeneutics.

Thanks,

Allen
