Forms of Muslim Children’s Spirituality
This book empirically reconstructs the relationships of Muslim children to God demonstrating that Muslim children in Germany already show a broad spectrum of different images of God and relations to God already at the age of ten.
Discrimination in the Name of Neutrality
In recent years there has been a debate in Germany, as in many other European countries, about how to deal with an increasingly diverse society. One of the most prominent controversies has been the wearing of the headscarf by some Muslim women. Since 2004, half of Germany's 16 states have introduced laws prohibiting public school teachers (and other civil servants in several states) from wearing the headscarf at work. The eight other German states have no such restrictions. Some of the laws banning religious symbols and dress exempt Christian symbols. The bans in Germany are neither necessary nor justified. Where there are concrete concerns that a teacher's conduct breaches the duty to ensure that schools remain neutral on questions of religion and ideology, they should be addressed through ordinary disciplinary procedures, on a case-by-case basis. Teachers should be assessed on the basis of their actions, not views imputed to them by virtue of religious dress.
Sexuality, Gender And Religion In Contemporary Discourses
One of the most current issues occupying both public and academic discourse is sexuality and the related issues of sexual self-determination, gender order, and homophobia. Religion has a significant role to play in this discourse. This centrality of religion is evident not only in the question of moral concepts, but also in questions of the understanding of the body and gender. In this context, it should be emphasized that religion - or, more precisely, a particular interpretation of the religious - can have both a conflict-promoting and an emancipatory effect. If one wants to conceptualize a contemporary theological understanding, then it is necessary to receive medical, psychological as well as social and cultural science research. The anthology aims to thematize these debates and to broaden the view for the multi-layered processes of change taking place in the discourses.
Educating Religious Education Teachers
International knowledge transfer in religious education (RE) is still a fairly new topic. Many scholars in the field consider this discussion of prime importance for the future of both the academic discipline of religious education and the related school subject RE. This book continues this discussion and specifies it in the direction of teacher education. Its focus is on the challenges that teacher students and their trainers are facing in the light of RE in a pluralized and detraditionalized society. The impact of these challenges on RE research is obvious. However, international exchange of research results for purposes of comparison and mutual enrichment is still rare. This book provides insights that can encourage and facilitate this exchange.
A Bibliography of Islamic Criminal Law, Supplement
The present work supplements the original volume of A Bibliography of Islamic Criminal Law, the most extensive bibliography on Islamic criminal law ever compiled. Drawing on a multitude of sources online and offline this bibliography covers in its thematic section not only the classical crime categories of ḥudūd, qiṣāṣ and taʿzīr but also a large number of newly emerging and related fields. In a second section, dedicated to countries, eras and institutions Olaf Köndgen comprehensively covers the historical and modern application of Islamic criminal law in all its forms. Unlocking the richness of this sub-field of Islamic law, also with the help of two detailed indices, this innovative reference work is highly relevant for all those researching Islamic law in general and the application of Islamic criminal law over time in particular.
International Knowledge Transfer in Religious Education
This book is about international knowledge transfer in religious education as an academic discipline; at the same time, though, it is related to the school subject of RE. Its aim is to strengthen the awareness of the need for international cooperation in the field of religious education in general and especially for clarifying the role of knowledge in this kind of cooperation. The contributions discuss a number of issues, among others related to the validity and transferability of knowledge in religious education. Thus, the book takes up a topic which so far has remained implicit and therefore also untreated. This approach implies a whole spectrum of new methodological and epistemological pr...
Improving Religious Education Through Teacher Training
This book brings together two topics which have both been of increasing interest in different countries. The first refers to the quality of Religious Education as a school subject (RE) in general, the second is about the education of teachers of RE and its possible contribution to better quality RE. There have been many public, and often controversial, debates concerning both of these topics. The chapters contained in this volume, however, are not meant to continue such debates (even if it is inevitable that they will contribute to these debates as well), but to make use of research, especially research on teacher education in the field of RE, in order to provide insights based not just on political or personal opinions, but on rigorous academic scholarship.
Korandidaktik - Elementares Erinnern
Die dialogische Auseinandersetzung mit dem Koran als Zugang zur Transzendenz ist elementares Erinnern. Themenfelder wie Offenbarungs- und Schriftverständnis, Geschlechtergerechtigkeit oder Anthropologie werden exegetisch, textkritisch und religionsgeschichtlich untersucht und normative theologische Diskurse kritisch reflektiert. Dabei sind Subjektorientierung und Kontextbezogenheit Kriterien der Untersuchungen. Religionspädagogische, vortheologische und humanwissenschaftliche Rezeptionen, Empirie und Unterrichtserfahrungen münden in konkrete didaktische Überlegungen. So setzt die Arbeit Wegmarken in der islamischen Religionspädagogik, legt Grundsteine zur wissenschaftlichen Weiterführung und für transreligiöse Studien.
