English summary: The concept of freedom shaped the history of Christianity from the very beginning; at the same time it is one of the central concepts of the modern Western world. It is the debate over freedom on which the often tense relationship between Christianity and the modern age is focused. The authors of the articles in this volume explore the biblical and philosophical roots of the concept of freedom, trace their historical development and describe the current debates over freedom in theology and philosophy. In their common focus on the subject of freedom, they open up promising perspectives and at the same time raise our awareness of ambivalences, challenges and the potential of the concept of freedom. German description: Der Freiheitsgedanke pragt die Geschichte des Christentums von Anbeginn; zugleich gehort er zu den zentralen Leitbegriffen der westlichen Moderne. In der Auseinandersetzung um die Freiheit bundelt sich der spannungsvolle Zusammenhang zwischen christlicher Tradition und neuzeitlicher Gegenwart. Die Autoren gehen in ihren Beitragen den biblischen und philosophischen Wurzeln des Freiheitsbegriffs nach, verfolgen seine geschichtlichen Entwicklungslinien und bieten einen Uberblick uber die in Theologie und Philosophie gefuhrten aktuellen Freiheitsdebatten. In ihrer gemeinsamen Ausrichtung auf das Thema ‘Freiheit’ eroffnen sie fruchtbare interdisziplinare Perspektiven; zugleich scharfen sie das Bewusstsein fur die Ambivalenzen, Herausforderungen und Potentiale des Freiheitsbegriffs.
