Die Ursprünge des modernen Sports, der auch als "Weltreligion des 20. Jahrhunderts" bezeichnet wurde, lassen sich bis auf ihre kultischen Wurzeln in der Antike zurückführen. Dieses dritte Jahrbuch der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Geschichte der Sportwissenschaft e. V. enthält neun Beiträge, die sich auf dem Evangelischen Kirchentag in Köln 2007 unter dem Titel "Sport-Körper-Religion" mit diesem spannungsreichen Verhältnis von Sport und Religion befaßt haben. Neben Studien über die Sicht auf den Sport in verschiedenen Religionen sind auch grundlegende wissenschaftsmethodische Aufsätze versammelt. Der Band ist gedacht für diejenigen, die sich für die Beziehung von Sport und Religion interessieren und vor allem für Studierende und Lehrende der Religions-, Sport- und historischen Wissenschaften.

In addressing the topic assigned to me -- "Interreligious Dialogue, the Environment, and Power" -- I have decided to focus on the first and the last elements: Dialogue and Power. More precisely, I would like to reflect on how the question of "power" can serve as the mediating link between religion and dialogue. Many people, especially academicians, would regard such a proposal with great suspicion, if not downright opposition. For them, the vital relationship between religion and power is the problem. Precisely because religion is such a powerful force in the lives of people, precisely because the powerful can make such exploitative and violent use of religion -- precisely for such reasons many voices today are calling for a moratorium on interreligious dialogue; or they are calling for the exclusion of religion from all political or intercultural discussions. I want to take these reservations or objections as seriously as I can. I begin, therefore with some questions.
