Kurzfassung:
Church and Ecclesiastical Law in German language and beyond . Searching for sense in human life, already in prehistoric times, men developed religious notions. Jesus (Christ), born at Bethlehem about 2020 years ago, declared himself to be the unique son of god Jahwe and was therefore crucified by Romans and Jews at Jerusalem. Nevertheless billions of men and women believed in his miraculous resurrection and his sacrifice for the salvation of mankind – among them almost every individual speaking German. The study shows how the Christian term ‘church’, derived from Greek kyrios (master), was adopted and spread in old German languages. Various parts of human law in general, which were and are influenced by Christian thought, were analyzed from the very beginning of the church within the Roman empire, and they were followed up to the global presence.
