Religionsdialoge und Wissensordnungen in Antike, Mittelalter und Früher Neuzeit, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Blurb

With deliberate historical depth, the contributors to this volume analyse the interactions between Judaism, Christianity and Islam from Antiquity to the early modern period. At the centre lies the historical unfolding of systems of knowledge and science and the question of how a theology of revelation took shape within different epistemological orders. The contributors trace the development of the discursive capacity of theological speech under these conditions and analyse how religious truth claims were culturally, scientifically and institutionally justified. From an interdisciplinary perspective, they illuminate the encounters through which Jewish, Christian and Islamic traditions met, challenged and enriched one another. They explore the contributions of selected poets, exegetes, missionaries, philosophers, theologians and early jurists of international law to interreligious dialogue and examine how the self-understanding of the representatives of Jewish, Christian and Muslim traditions was shaped by different orders of knowledge, as well as how these orders influenced encounters with adherents of other faiths. The answers to these questions reveal the potential inherent in these orders of knowledge for processes of reciprocal learning and understanding - within and between the religious traditions of Judaism, Christianity and Islam, and in relation to the secular knowledge of the time.
