Der Glaube wird Berge versetzen – und kulturelle Grenzen überwinden. Ein Beitrag zum interreligiösen Lernen

Abstract

Religion as a part of culture has similarities to language: it is characteristic for nearly every individual. As there are processes of interculturality (contact of different cultures) there are also processes of inter-religiosity. On the examples of John Paul II. and Benedict XVI. the author explains the development and the theological background of the growing dialogue between religions. Although the differences are often a base for conflicts, there are many (worldwide) interreligious movements that are exemplary and therefore worth discussing.
