The event testified to within Christianity is evident in a life that has been freed from an idolatrous existence that turns us from the world to an iconic engagement with the world.

Peter Rollins

Peter Rollins (* 1973) ist ein nordirischer Philosoph, Theologe und Autor, der durch das Belfaster Kollektiv „Ikon“ und als Vordenker der Emerging-Church-Bewegung bekannt wurde. Er vertritt eine sogenannte „Pyrotheologie“, die christliche Mystik mit Dekonstruktion und Psychoanalyse verbindet, Zweifel ins Zentrum rückt und von konservativen Theologen wegen der Auflösung traditioneller Glaubens- und Heilslehren scharf kritisiert wird. Heutigen Bibellesern bietet sein Ansatz Impulse, biblische Texte jenseits dogmatischer Gewissheiten zu reflektieren und theologische Sinnkrisen als existentiellen Bestandteil des Glaubens zu betrachten.
