Scope/Description:

The socalled world religions and other religious traditions are not and have never been homogenous nor have they formed or evolve in isolation. Trying to overcome cultural stereotypes and their ideological misuse the series Dynamics in the History of Religions focuses on the crucial role of mutual encounters in the origins development and internal differentiation of the major religious traditions. The primary thesis of the series consists in the assumption that interconnections of selfperception and perception by the other of adaptation and demarcation are crucial factors for historical dynamics within the religious field. The series includes exemplary and comparative studies on the formation of the major religious traditions via diachronic and synchronic cultural contact on interactions essential to the process of institutionalization and spread of religions on interreligious encounters under the condition of colonialism and globalization and on the stimulus provided by such contacts to the development of basic religious notions.
