Umschlagtext
Religion is back on the agenda. Western societies are searching for an adequate understanding of religion. Media move religion into focus as a resource of significance in modern societies, but also as a source of tension and conflict. Politics is testing how to manage religious pluralism. Education is developing concepts of interreligious dialogue in order to promote a better intercultural understanding. The book discusses if the concept post-secularity allows a suitable understanding of the public presence of religion.
Rezension
Gern wird seit einigen Jahren wieder von der Rückkehr der Religion gesprochen; das Säkularisierungs-Theorem scheint ausgedient zu haben ... Dieser durchgängig englisch-sprachige Band fragt in europäischer Perspektive nach der Religiosität in Europas vielfältigen Gesellschaften: sind sie säkular oder post-säkular? Die westlichen Gesellschaften suchen nach einer angemessenen Form von Religion; der religiöse Pluralismus muß politisch gemanaged werden, das zeigt sich in Deutschland z.B. an der Einführung Islamischen Religionsunterrichts. Interreligiöser Dialog soll interkultureler Verständigung dienen. Der Band stellt eine Würzburger Tagungsdokumentation aus dem Jahr 2004 dar, bei der Wissenschaftler aus 18 europäischen Ländern aus ihrer Wahrnehmung Stellung genommen haben zu der Frage: "Europe as a post-secular Society".
