Menschliches und politisches Handeln setzt ein Verständnis Gottes und der Götter in der Welt der Religionen voraus.
English summary: We live in a world that is determined by religious pluralism. Many different religions exist side by side influencing the political power structure and forming our environment. Often, the common-sense lacks in terms of knowledge about their beliefs, imaginations of god or gods and how these influence the believers’ habit and understanding of being human. By providing deeper understandings of god and gods in different religions the contributors in this volume want to enlighten some dark spots in the common-sense knowledge of the most influential religions such as Christendom, Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, Confucianism, Chinese Buddhism and Zen Buddhism. The authors thereby show that all these different Theologies facilitate just as many different answers to sometimes the same questions. In a short introduction, Markus Muhling exemplifies diverse models of how variable religions may live together in a pluralistic society. Authors are David A. Gilland, Daniel Krochmalnik, Lai Pan-chiu, Christian Meyer, Markus Muhling, Perry Schmidt-Leukel, Klaus von Stosch, Hans Waldenfels und Donald A. Wood. German description: Die gegenwartige Lebenswelt ist die eines religiosen Pluralismus. Verschiedene Religionen leben miteinander, uben politischen Einfluss aus und gestalten unsere Lebenswelt. Die Fragen, um was es den Religionen geht, welche unterschiedlichen Vorstellungen sie von Gott, Gottern und anderen Bezugspunkten haben, wie diese Vorstellungen das Leben der Religion, ihr Handeln und ihr Verstandnis vom Menschen pragen, ist oft nur unzureichend bekannt. Die Beitrager in diesem Buch wollen hier Abhilfe schaffen, indem sie die Verstandnisse von Gott und den Gottern in den Religionen bewusst in den Mittelpunkt stellen. Es zeigt sich dabei, dass diese Theologien im engeren Sinne vielfaltig sind, aber auch unterschiedliche Antworten auf gemeinsame Probleme geben. Konkret stellen sie die Gotteslehren von Christentum, Judentum, Islam, Hinduismus, Konfuzianismus, Chinesischem Buddhismus und Zen Buddhismus vor. Einleitend erlautert Markus Muhling verschiedene Modelle eines moglichen Zusammenlebens der unterschiedlichen Religionen in der Pluralistischen Gesellschaft. Zu den Autoren gehoren in David A. Gilland, Daniel Krochmalnik, Lai Pan-hiu, Christian Meyer, Markus Muhling, Perry Schmidt-Leukel, Klaus von Stosch, Hans Waldenfels und Donald A. Wood.
