What are religious studies? What is theology? And what is their relationship to each other? In the light of such theoretical and methodological questions this historical inquiry asks what characterizes the study of Christianity within comparative religion—as distinguished from that of Christian theology? In the three main sections of the book representative texts from the history of comparative religion—including Schleiermacher and some other theological forerunners in the 19th century—are analyzed from a methodological and a material point of view. On this basis an answer is sought to the following questions: What has been the place of the study of Christianity within this discipline? On which methodological principles has it been based? And what kind of picture of Christianity has it presented?

What has been the role and understanding of religion in the last hundred years, and what can be the meaning of religion today? There is a well-known ongoing process of secularization in the Western world. Is there also a return of religion? And what does the fate of religion mean for an understanding of the Christian faith? These are topics of this book. The articles originate from the actual fields of research of an interdisciplinary group of scholars, who took part in a symposium held in Bergen Nov. 2019. The contributions relate to specific contexts in the modern history of religion from the perspective of religious studies, theology, philosophy and sociology. The editors are Hans Bringeland, Assoc. Prof., and Arve Brunvoll, Prof. emer., both teachers of theology and philosophy at NLA University College, Bergen, Norway.

Das Buch spricht Leser an, die Sympathie für die Religion empfinden, die ihr gegenüber aber zugleich skeptische Zweifel hegen. Nach einem Blick auf das Gegensatzpaar "Kinderglaube" – "Naturwissenschaft" wendet es sich dem von William James ins Zentrum gestelltem Thema der religiösen Erfahrung zu. Diese erweist sich zwar als grundlegend für ein Verständnis der Religion, aber die weitergehende These von James, sie beweise die Existenz eines transzendenten Verursachers, wird zurückgewiesen. Eine Alternative dazu wird zunächst theoretisch entwickelt, indem Überlegungen Wittgensteins über den Bereich des Seelischen auf die "religiösen Gegenstände" angewandt werden. In beiden Fällen geht es um 'kein Etwas', aber auch nicht um 'ein Nichts'. Am Beispiel der Zen-Meditation wird diese Option auf eine religiöse Praxis bezogen. Abschließend werden Besonderheiten religiöser Sprachformen erörtert, die sich aus der Tatsache ergeben, dass sie der Darstellung der 'menschlichen Situation' dienen. Die theoretisch begründete Anerkennung einer Pluralität von Darstellungsformen (zu denen auch personale Redeweisen gehören) erweist sich als ein wichtiger Schritt zur Förderung der interreligiösen Kommunikation; der "Kampf der Kulturen" kann abgesagt werden.

The series Religion and Society (RS) contributes to the exploration of religions as social systems - both in Western and non-Western societies; in particular, it examines religions in their differentiation from, and intersection with, other cultural systems, such as art, economy, law and politics. Due attention is given to paradigmatic case or comparative studies that exhibit a clear theoretical orientation with the empirical and historical data of religion and such aspects of religion as ritual, the religious imagination, constructions of tradition, iconography, or media. In addition, the formation of religious communities, their construction of identity, and their relation to society and the wider public are key issues of this series.
