What is a religion? How do the religions relate to each other? From the basis of today’s multicultural and religiously pluralist situation, Stephan Leimgruber seeks to understand Christianity in the context of the world religions. He pays particular attention to the question of God, the founders of religions, the scriptures and religious practice. Based on documents from the Second Vatican Council, Stephan Leimgruber advocates an intensification of the dialogue between Christians and the followers of the great religions. The author provides individual theses for just such a dialogue with Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism, in which he explores practical perspectives and identifies objectives.

German description: Was ist eine Religion? Wie verhalten sich die Religionen zueinander? Stephan Leimgruber geht von der heutigen multikulturellen und religios pluralen Situation aus und versteht Christsein im Kontext der Weltreligionen. Besondere Aufmerksamkeit schenkt er der Gottesfrage, den Religionsstiftern, den heiligen Schriften und der religiosen Praxis. Ausgehend von Dokumenten des Zweiten Vatikanischen Konzils pladiert Stephan Leimgruber fur eine Vertiefung des Dialogs von Christen mit den Angehorigen der grossen Religionen. Der Autor formuliert fur diesen Dialog mit dem Judentum, dem Islam, dem Hinduismus, dem Buddhismus und dem Jainismus jeweils Thesen, in denen er konkrete Perspektiven auslotet und Ziele benennt.
