DER MENSCH - EIN RELIGIÖSES WESEN. PSYCHOLOGISCHE AUFFASSUNG
In diesem Artikel weist der Verfasser daraufhin, dass der Mensch im Lichte der modernen Tiefenpsychologie, vor allem aber der personalistischen Psychologie, das einzige Wesen ist welches mit einer religiösen Funktion ausgestattet ist. Er betont, dass die Transzendenz mit psychologischen Methoden nicht erreicht werden kann, doch die Psychologie kann beweisen, dass der Mensch fähig ist Kontakt mit dem Absolut anzuknüpfen. Der Verfasser schliesst sein Artikel mit der Feststellung: Jeder Mensch ist von Natur aus religiös, er kann nur wählen zwischen Wahrer Religiosität oder ihrem Ersatz.

Healing a man suffe ring from edema as creatio conutinua (Lk 14,1-6). Summary
In his mission of proclaiming Gods kingdom, Jesus was driven first of all by his compasion for other human beings. His misssion was reaveled through his words and deeds, and it was a testimony of Gods love for humans. The creative perspective of the Saviours work is reavealed particularly by appealing to the idea of love. In modern biblical theology, the image of Gods love became the hermeneutical key for explaining the mystery of creation.
Since it is difficult to state clearly what the creation ex nihilo – something out of nothing is, more and more often it is talked about as creation ex amore – out of love.
Jesus was undertaking the work of creation in his activities. In this way he became the Creator full of love for all his cration, especially for the one which – paraphrasing the words of apostle Paul – „one sighs and hurts, awaiting ones redemtion” (Rome 8,22). Healings performed by Jesus, especialy the ones performed on the sabath, are written in the notion of creatio continua. His healing work on the sabath can be described as creatio contunua ex amore.
