Online-Lecture Series Interreligious Hermeneutics in a Plural Society

17.02.2023

The lecture series Interreligiöse Hermeneutik in einer pluralen Gesellschaft (Interreligious Hermeneutics in a Plural Society) organised by Ibrahim Kocyigit (key research area Islam in Contemporary Society) and Senol Yagdi (discipline of Islamic Religious Education) will take place between 7 March 2023 and 13 June 2023.

In a secular, yet religiously plural society, the peaceful coexistence of people with different religious and ideological convictions is becoming increasingly important. For this reason, interreligious dialogue has recently gained relevance and spread nationally and internationally. This is especially true for classes that have become heterogeneous and for religious education in immigration societies. The reasons, challenges, opportunities and limits that shape our theological-interreligious actions and thinking will be discussed in conjunction with a wide range of academic positions.
