Abstract
""I can scarcely imagine another example of such a lack of communication between related scientific disciplines," remarks Erhardt Giittgemanns.' Outlin- ing what he thinks is a deplorable state of affairs, he declares in a remarkable passage that the exegete who turns from theological hermeneutics to the reading of international linguistics and literary criticism encounters an absolutely puzzling and completely incomprehensible situation: Protestant theology, since Luther's discovery of the correlation of promissio and fides and above all since the rise of dialectical theology, has understood itself decidedly as a "theology of the Word of God"; but still, right up to today, it has had no adequate understanding of the science of language and linguistic processes, that is, of general linguistics.'"
