Mission – Ein Hochseilakt zwischen historischer Altlast und evangeliumsgemassem Auftrag.
English summary: This interdisciplinary conference volume examines the socioreligious and sociocultural European situation and discusses the current state of Mission science in European context from the perspective of religious Philosophy, religious studies, law as well as protestant and catholic Theology. Its aim is to contribute to a modern, pluralistic understanding of Mission. Mission is not being propagated as a covered or open proselytism but it should be understood as a wholistic devotion to mankind according to the Gospels in search for a successful life. Therefore the concept of Mission covers a wide perspective. It includes attentiveness for the spiritual search of people on one hand and for charity and political dedication for the poor and some fringe groups on the other. This scientific discourse tries to free Mission from restrictions of historical burdens and presents this taboo subject as being a socially prevailing phenomenon in today’s Europe. German text. German description: Dieser interdisziplinar angelegte Band beleuchtet die sozioreligiose wie soziokulturelle Situation Europas und diskutiert aus der Perspektive von Religionsphilosophie, Religionswissenschaft, Rechtswissenschaft und protestantischer wie katholischer Theologie den aktuellen Stand der Missionswissenschaft im europaischen Kontext. Sein Ziel ist es, zu einem modernen, plural reflektierten Missionsverstandnis beizutragen. Mission wird nicht als verdeckter oder offener Proselytismus propagiert, sondern als evangeliumsgemasse, ganzheitliche Zuwendung zum Menschen auf der Suche nach einem gegluckten Leben verstanden. Mission bedeutet deshalb Hellhorigkeit fur die spirituelle Suche von Menschen ebenso wie gegebenenfalls konkrete Caritas oder politisches Engagement fur Schwache und Randgruppen. Der wissenschaftliche Diskurs soll das Tabuthema Mission aus den Verengungen historischer Belastungen befreien und als gesellschaftlich hochaktuelles Phanomen begreifbar machen.
