Abstract

The article first deconstructs the strong presuppositions of the concept of action in the discourse on God's actions. Then, with the help of more recent theories of praxis and events, it asks how the relationship between God and the world can be rethought from a post-modern concept of praxis. John D. Caputo's radial theology and theological gender research are considered as concrete examples. At the end there will be an inter-theological final discussion with Milad Karimi, who similarly understands God as an event of the Koran.
