Sommario/riassunto

This study explores the meaning and function of water as a literary symbol in the Gospel of John. Jones first gives an account of symbol: it points beyond itself, it defies clear and definitive perceptual expression, and it in some way embodies that which it represents. Then he examines the narrative sections of John that involve water, plotting the expanding meaning and function of the symbol as the narrative unfolds. The study concludes that water serves primarily as a symbol of the Spirit and therein symbolizes Jesus. The symbol of water calls a wide variety of readers to a decision and fun

Sommario/riassunto

The deciphering of the genome and, last but not least, the development of modern sequencing methods make many people fear that their "individuality" could be lost as a result. What this means exactly, what the individual's self-image is based on and to what extent the concern is justified is examined in this volume in the interdisciplinary discourse between human genetics and law. The contributions result from an interdisciplinary workshop of the Göttingen Institute for Human Genetics in cooperation with the Center for Medical Law in January 2012. Additional contributions from both a human genetic and a legal perspective broaden the factual basis and provide a deeper insight into the current state of affairs.
