At present, the topic of attitude experiences a renaissance. Against this background, this contribution examines the characteristics of a distinct Protestant attitude from a christological perspective and in dialogue with Pauline theology. Protestant attitude is defined as (I.) an attitude of hope for all humanity, all ages, and all parts of the world, (II.) a stringent self-critical attitude that does not claim absolute validity even for things realized as true, but rather seeks critique, and (III.) an attitude lived in the concreteness of a bodily-finite existence. As a physico-mental phenomenon, attitude cannot be formed and transformed in a solely cognitive manner but only within the context of a bodily practice. Protestant attitude needs a bodily embedding in the new world of the Bible.
