In unserer pluralen Gesellschaft leben Menschen unterschiedlichen Glaubens und Nichtreligiöse miteinander. Die sich daraus ergebenden Herausforderungen greift der erste Band dieser neuen Reihe theologisch auf: Das "christliche Abendland"wird durch die Geflohenen aus dem "Morgenland" gesellschaftspolitisch, kulturell und religiös herausgefordert. Für Muslime in Europa ändern sich die gesellschaftlichen und religiösen Rahmenbedingungen erheblich. Mit besonderer Brisanz stellen sich deshalb die Fragen nach der Identität in einer pluralen Gesellschaft, nach dem Verhältnis von Einheit und Vielfalt, nach der Positionierung gegenüber den Gläubigen anderer Religionen. Wie das gelingen kann und welchen Beitrag eine Theologie des Zusammenlebens leisten kann, ist Gegenstand der Beiträge dieses Bandes.

"Postcolonialism refers not only to the historical epoch after the end of the colonial era, but also to a theoretical concept for the analysis of power relations. In German-speaking theology, this concept has so far received little attention. In the bilingual volume Postcolonialism, theology and the construction of the other, scholars of all theological disciplines, including religious studies, explore the heuristic possibilities that postcolonialism provides for their subject. In particular, the question is how "the other" is constructed as the counterpart of a "we." In times of global migration and growing right-wing extremism, theology must remain capable to offer answers to the urgent questions of the present.
