Religionen und Freiheiten. Historische, theologische und exegetische Studien

How could and can we speak of freedom, especially religious freedom, in ancient Greek philosophy and religion, in Judaism, Christianity, Islam, and in both yesterday’s and today’s multi-religious landscape? The present volume explores this issue, which, due to its breadth and complexity, offers different perspectives on religious and theological contexts and may ignite a multidisciplinary dialogue. The contributions from international scholars deal with various aspects of religious freedom. They cover a wide time range and include different cultures with their religions, beliefs, and theologies: ancient Greece, ancient Israel and the contexts of Hellenistic Hebrew/Aramaic and Greek-speaking Judaism, early Christianity, the Middle Ages, and the Early Modern Period, focusing on Far Eastern Islam, the Jewish Renaissance, and Christian Europe up to the present day.
