This book is time! Similar to how a few decades ago the first religious education textbooks could no longer be presented solely from a Protestant or Catholic perspective, but from an ecumenical collaboration, it now makes sense to dare to take a further step with an interreligious introduction. The aim of the volume is a dialogical introduction to religious didactics, which in the presentation itself follows the two guiding principles of elementarization and dialogical learning. This means that every topic is taken up from a Christian and Islamic perspective. In addition, it is always said what might be learned for each other (e.g. what seems so important in the Koran that Christians also know and could perhaps take on or take over for themselves). But there is also room for critical dialogues. The presentation is aimed at religion teachers and students who would like to gain an insight into the other religious education as well as opportunities for cooperation. This prepares them for a school reality that will become more and more common in the future, the further the introduction of Islamic religious instruction progresses.

Der Band ermöglicht unterschiedliche Zugänge und Denkkulturen zu verschiedenen theologischen Thematiken, die vordergründig aus einer Bildungsperspektive gedacht werden.

Eines der aktuellsten Themen, die sowohl den öffentlichen als auch den akademischen Diskurs beschäftigen, ist Sexualität und die damit zusammenhängenden Fragen der sexuellen Selbstbestimmung, der Geschlechterordnung sowie der Homophobie.

One of the most current issues occupying both public and academic discourse is sexuality and the related issues of sexual self-determination, gender order, and homophobia.

The empirical study on the broad spectrum of Muslim children in Germany and their relations to God is fundamental for the scientific understanding of the development and formation of their faith. At the same time the findings of this work are also highly relevant for the further development of an academic and empirically based Islamic religious education both in a secular and in a highly individualized society. The aim of this book is to provide a framework for the life of young believers in a religiously plural society, in which the individual relationship to God and the reflexivity of one's own religion are a decisive prerequisite for preventing radicalization and moral rigidity. This book favors an anthropological shift and an approach that takes the potential of children with their theology and their search for the meaning of life seriously.
