Comparing Religions
Given the fact that today's university students are far more culturally sophisticated than ever before, "Comparing Religions: Possibilities and Perils" brings together a distinguished group of professors of religion with years of teaching experience to address the central question of how comparison of religions should be pursued in today's classroom.

The Art of Spiritual Care across Religious Difference
The United States is witnessing a rise in the religiously unaffiliated. Participation in traditional religious settings is in decline. But everyone inhabits a location relative to religion, whether or not they practice or identify with a religious tradition. People engage in religious encounters and relationships in myriad ways, and their religious location is one part of their intersecting identities.

'Religion' in der Sicht von Schüler*innen
Regelmäßig untersuchen Studien religionsbezogene Aspekte bei Jugendlichen. Fast ausschließlich wird dabei vorausgesetzt, dass ein einheitliches Verständnis davon, was Religion meint, vorherrscht. Dass dem nicht so ist, zeigt die Studie in diesem Band, die Schüler*innen der achten und zehnten Jahrgangsstufe des Gymnasiums nach ihrer Definition von Religion und einem bildsprachlichen Vergleich für das eigene Verhältnis zu Religion fragt. Dabei wird deutlich, dass es sich bei Religion in der Sicht von Schüler*innen um ein großes Mosaik handelt, das von Nahem betrachtet sehr individuelle Facetten aufweist und mit etwas Abstand zugleich größere Muster erkennen lässt. Dr. theol. Juliane Ta Van hat an der Evangelisch-Theologischen Fakultät der Westfälischen Wilhelms-Universität Münster promoviert. Zurzeit arbeitet sie als Wissenschaftliche Mitarbeiterin im Comenius-Institut in Münster und ist zuständig für den Bereich Religionspädagogik, Lehrendenbildung und Religionsunterricht.
