Is the question of God still relevant for our time?
Empirical studies from an international perspective show the
fact that there are both indications of God’s importance and
disappearance. The articles deal with questions related to
the content, structure and function of images of God. The
studies document the actual variety and forms of religious
practice and highlight the issues of God present – out of
necessity from an ecumenical and interdisciplinary point of
view. If and how the question of God is aske d is not only
of denominational interest, but is also of a cultural
importance for the individual and public life in Europe. The
empirical studies in this collection were discussed at the
“Würzburg Research Days – Practical Theology” in December
2000.
