Catholic Theology in dialogue with Islam (Frankfurt)

Catholic theology in Europa is more and more confronted by questions and critic of Muslim intellectuals who, simultaneously and offensively, claim for commonalities of both religions. The research project is targeted to perceive this new context of theology, to analyze it diacritically, and to reformulate the potentials of Christian tradition.

Katholische Theologie in Europa sieht sich zunehmend Anfragen und Kritik seitens muslimischer Intellektueller, aber auch mit offensiv formulierten Gemeinsamkeiten beider Religionen konfrontiert. Das Forschungsprojekt will diesen neuen Kontext der Theologie wahrnehmen, unterscheidend analysieren und Potentiale der christlichen Tradition neu formulieren.
