Der interdisziplinäre Band versammelt aktuelle Forschungsperspektiven auf das Wechselspiel von Tradition und Traditionskritik in Judentum, Christentum und Islam. Beleuchtet werden die vielfältigen historischen und gegenwärtigen Formen von Kritik an den überlieferten Traditionen sowie die dynamischen Prozesse, die diese Kritik in den Religionen ausgelöst hat. Traditionskritik erweist sich demnach als integraler Bestandteil von religiösen Traditionen.

This volume opens up new research perspectives on the interplay between the formation of religious traditions and the criticism addressed to them in different contexts. The scholarly investigation of how religious traditions have been criticized, reconsidered, and modified helps to better understand the dialectics of continuity and rupture that pervade religious communities. The exploration of the interactive processes of emergence, criticism, and reconsideration of religious traditions not only provides insight into how religions have developed in the past but also illuminates the present rise of new forms of religiosity within the framework of postmodernity. Belonging to different scholarly disciplines such as Religious Studies, Jewish Studies, Christian Theology, Islamic Studies, History, Philosophy, and Sociology, and resorting to a broad spectrum of methodological tools, the authors of this volume delve deep into the realms of religious reality and shed new light on the dynamics of religious transformation, past and present.
