Religion in Europa Heute: Sozialwissenschaftliche, Rechtswissenschaftliche Und Hermeneutisch-Religionsphilosophische Perspektiven

Text in German. Religion is surprisingly lively in today's secularized societies in Europe - despite many contrary predictions. It thus represents a challenge for the various humanities disciplines. In eleven contributions, authors from philosophy, theology, sociology, political, legal and cultural studies or Jewish and Islamic studies examine the interactions between religion (s) and transformation processes in European societies and theirs Consequences on a social and individual level. The articles in the volume are devoted to the five key areas of the research platform "Religion and Transformation of Contemporary European Society": Criticism of religion and the question of God; Religion in inclusion and exclusion processes; Legal challenges in the multi-religious societies of Europe; Religious constructions of meaning and value and the reception and hermeneutics of religious texts.
