Summary

English summary: NOAH: The Story of a SurvivorNoah built the ark, in which he survived the deluge together with his immediate family and numerous animals representing every species. With the figure of Noah the history of mankind begins anew. Noah's story is about the greatest catastrophe, but it is also about life and survival. It combines motives of doom and symbols of life such as the ark as a place of shelter, the dove with the olive branch as an image of peace, and the rainbow as a sign of the covenant and a pledge for the world's preservation. Catastrophe and salvation are merged in this biblical narrative to become a single theme - and it is the one singular God who brings the two together. In this way the story of Noah becomes also a pressing question to God himself. German text. German description: Noah ist der Erbauer der aArche, in der er zusammen mit seiner engsten Familie und vielen Tieren als Reprasentanten aller Gattungen die aSintflut uberlebt. Mit Noah beginnt die Geschichte der Menschheit neu.Noahs Geschichte erzahlt von der grossten aller Katastrophen, und sie erzahlt zugleich vom Uberleben und vom Leben. In ihr verbinden sich die Motive des Untergangs mit Symbolen des Lebens wie der Arche als Schutzraum, der Taube mit dem Olzweig als Friedensbild und dem Regenbogen als Zeichen des Bundes und als Unterpfand der Welterhaltung. Katastrophe und Rettung werden in der biblischen Erzahlung zu einem Thema - und es ist derselbe Gott, mit dem sich beides verbindet. So wird die Noahgeschichte auch zur bedrangenden Frage an Gott selbst.
