The series Religion and Society (RS) contributes to the exploration of religions as social systems– both in Western and non-Western societies; in particular, it examines religions in their differentiation from, and intersection with, other cultural systems, such as art, economy, law and politics. Due attention is given to paradigmatic case or comparative studies that exhibit a clear theoretical orientation with the empirical and historical data of religion and such aspects of religion as ritual, the religious imagination, constructions of tradition, iconography, or media. In addition, the formation of religious communities, their construction of identity, and their relation to society and the wider public are key issues of this series.

Learning from International Knowledge Transfer – Highly needed in RE Teacher Education

Die konzeptionelle Grundlegung einer Islamischen Religionspädagogik und Fachdidaktik steht als Aufgabe der in Deutschland errichteten islamisch-theologischen und -religionspädagogischen Zentren und Professuren noch bevor. Die Fachtagung „Aufbruch zu neuen Ufern“ sollte vor diesem Hintergrund einen wichtigen Beitrag zur Etablierung der Islamischen Religionspädagogik als universitäres Fach in Deutschland leisten. Damit die Ergebnisse und Anregungen nachhaltige Wirkung entfalten können, wurden die Beiträge in diesem Tagungsband zusammengetragen und um weitere Aufsätze ergänzt, die unter folgende Schwerpunktthemen subsumiert werden können: Genese der Islamischen Religionspädagogik als Disziplin, theologische und anthropologische Grundlagen religiösen Lernens, Modelle und Erfahrungen islamischer Bildung aus internationaler Perspektive, gendersensibler Religionsunterricht sowie praktische Dimensionen des Islamischen Religionsunterrichts.
