Abstract

Interactional Bible Didactics is initiating practices and processes of ‘self-image-ination’ in biblical stories. An increasingly mediatized and visually characterized society, taking place for pupils especially in social-media-platforms, is an ongoing challenge to Religious Didactics. This paper proposes an actualization for a text – bound Bible Didactics trough visual practices. How do pupils experience and understand biblical texts and stories and their interpretative patterns? How do they take into account their living environment and everyday experience? How do they perform processes of ‘self-image-ination’ while embedding themselves into the story via selfies? Which semantic and analytic-reflective competences do pupils bring along and apply according an emblematic communication through selfies? This analysis examines visual products (images, texts) from two groups of undergraduate students with documentary method and triangulates it with their self-interpretation during class presentation, reconstructing implicit theological patterns of pupils, their questions and remaining gaps.
