How can one describe the pluralisation of the religious realm,
which is of such significance for processes of social change? How
can it be done from an international perspective? The book sharpens
the idea of religious pluralisation by elucidating it against the
backdrop of specific religious phenomena and practices. Concepts
and interpretations of religious praxis are correlated here in a
way that has proven most fruitful in the field of Practical
Theology. We take a closer look at twelve highly relevant topics
that are formative for the practical-theological discourses in
South Africa and Germany: poverty and wealth, education,
transitional rites and passages, health, religious community
formation and the future of the Church, beginning and end of life,
transformation of the media, migration and interculturality,
populism and radicalisation in religion and knowledge, processing
of the past, communal living. Each topic will be introduced by one
scholar from a certain country and commented on by another. The
conversational procedure contributes to a contextual theology that
understands theology essentially as dialogue. In all contributions
pluralisation is the overarching topic. It shall be developed as a
conception and theory respectively, both of which are not
self-evident their theoretical implications must be explicitly
unfolded.
