I-Am-Words in Bayreuth: An Evening about Language Art, Mysticism, and the Search for Meaning
A philosophical-theological evening at the Rudolf Steiner House Bayreuth: Prof. Dr. Harald Schwaetzer introduces the so-called I-Am-Words of the Gospel of John and opens up a concentrated literary experience between biblical imagery, cultural history, and modern interpretation art. Free admission, concise, inspiring.
Language that Carries: About I-Am-Words and Their Poetic Power
The predicative formulas – I am the bread of life, I am the light of the world – shine as strong narratives. Schwaetzer highlights how these sentences are simultaneously self-statements of Christ and signposts of inner education. Precise text work meets illustrative interpretation: A reading atmosphere emerges in which voice, rhythm, and language art resonate.
Genre, Style, Interpretation: Classification in Literary and Intellectual History
As a recognized Cusanus researcher, Schwaetzer links mysticism, symbolic language, and European intellectual traditions. The I-Am-Words appear as poetic condensing of a theology of images, whose literary quality enables dialogues with Cassirer, Barth, and Renaissance philosophy. Thus, exegesis transforms into a lively reflection on narrative and style.
Intimate Atmosphere, Clear Thoughts: The Literary Experience On-site
In the lecture hall of the Rudolf Steiner House, a concentrated author-encounter takes place: clear voice, precise language, subtle semantic nuances. This reading atmosphere invites attentive listening – away from clichés, close to the matter: text, context, meaning.
What Remains: Education as Self-Movement
The I-Am-Words open a developmental path of the self. The evening suggests how language enables action: understanding as experience, literature as a school of perception. A literary experience that unfolds long-term effects.
Conclusion: Those who want to experience theological language art in a cultural-historical perspective will find here a concentrated, contemporary introduction. Free admission, compact format – ideal for literature lovers, students, and anyone who understands language art as a path of thought.
