Der Beitrag bietet eine religionssoziologische Perspektive auf das Verhältnis von Religion und Sozialer Arbeit. Nach einer knappen Würdigung des Forschungsstandes zum Spannungsfeld zwischen religiöser Fürsorge und moderner Sozialarbeit liegt der Fokus zunächst auf der "Sozialen Arbeit" der Religionen, also der Frage, wie soziale Dienste in der Solidarethik verschiedener religiöser Traditionen verwurzelt sind. Im Anschluss daran steht die umgekehrte Perspektive, also die "Religion" der Sozialen Arbeit im Vordergrund. Der Fokus liegt hier auf den Möglichkeiten und Grenzen der religionssensiblen Gestaltung Sozialer Arbeit im Kontext der deutschen Wohlfahrtspflege. Vor dem Hintergrund dieser Überlegungen schließt der Beitrag mit einem knappen Fazit zur muslimischen Wohlfahrtspflege in Deutschland.

Recently, many parts of the world, including Western democracies, which are historically shaped by Christianity, have experienced new developments in the religio-political field. These changes result in calls for a revision or renegotiation of the relationship between religion & politics. This concerns not only the religiously asymmetrical constitutions in the European democracies where established churches are privileged & religious, in particular Muslim, minorities are struggling to achieve recognition & equal status. Also, countries with a strict separation of church & state such as the US, France, & Turkey are facing criticism of their religio-political arrangements -- arrangements that have acquired a hegemonial status in modern political theory as well as in Western publics. This article attempts a critique of the (normative) principle of a separation of the public & religious spheres, as embedded in liberal thoughts & democratic justifications. It strives for a normatively more convincing & politically more productive paradigm of the relationship between religion & politics & its proper regulation in a religiously & culturally plural democracy. 79 References.

"Cet ouvrage s'intéresse à la place centrale qu'occupe le corps, notamment dans ses aspects genrés, dans l'expression et la gestion du religieux, par les religions elles-mêmes et par l'État. En effet, au-delà des impacts des politiques décidées par l'État sur une ou plusieurs religions, on peut élargir la question et interroger l'influence religieuse--ou ce qu'il en reste--sur ses politiques."--
