Wissen Um Religion: Erkenntnis - Interesse: Epistemologie Und Episteme in Religionswissenschaft Und Interkultureller Theologie

What are the prerequisites for our knowledge of religion or our knowledge on other knowledge about religion - and what makes it academic or scientific knowledge? The issue is not only on the problem of how we can acquire well-founded knowledge about religion, but also on the conditions of the possibility that religion can become a subject of our knowledge at all. This volume brings together essays from Religious Studies and Intercultural Theology dealing with selected aspects of this topic. The spectrum ranges from fundamental questions of knowledge production to epistemological challenges of visible religion to hermeneutical problems of interreligious commentaries on sacred writings.
