English summary: In contrast to all predictions about the end of religion(s), in the different societies of a secularized Europe it is still alive and a challenge for humanities. Coming from different backgrounds (theology, philosophy, sociology, political science, law, cultural studies, Judaist and Islamic Hermeneutics), 11 authors investigate the interaction between religion(s) und the transformation processes of European societies and their consequences on an individual and a social level. The first volume of the new series Religion and Transformation of Contemporary European Society offers an overview on the project of a new research platform located at Vienna University, RaT (Religion and Transformation in Contemporary European Society). It is is dedicated to 5 research activities: (1) Critique of Religion and Conceptions of God; (2) Inclusion and Exclusion; (3) Juridical Challenges in Multi-religious Societies in Europe; (4) Constructs of Meaning and Values in Europe; (5) Reception and Hermeneutics of Religious Texts. German text. German description: Uberraschend lebendig erweist sich Religion in den heutigen sakularisierten Gesellschaften Europas – vielen Vorhersagen zum Trotz. Sie stellt damit eine Herausforderung fur die unterschiedlichen geisteswissenschaftlichen Disziplinen dar. In elf Beitragen untersuchen AutorInnen aus Philosophie, Theologie, Soziologie, Politik-, Rechts- und Kulturwissenschaft bzw. Judaistik und Islamwissenschaft die Wechselwirkungen zwischen Religion(en) und Transformationsprozessen in europaischen Gesellschaften und ihre Konsequenzen auf sozialer und individueller Ebene. Die Beitrage des Bandes widmen sich funf Schwerpunkten: (1) Religionskritik und Gottesfrage; (2) Religion in Inklusions- und Exklusionsprozessen; (3) Rechtliche Herausforderungen in den multireligiosen Gesellschaften Europas; (4) Religiose Sinn- und Wertkonstruktionen und (5) Rezeption und Hermeneutik religioser Texte.
