Lebenswissenschaft Praktische Theologie?!

Religion as a cultural interpretative system is not conceivable without reference to the phenomenon of “life”, which is articulated and displayed in the most diverse life styles. Life as it is being lived is always presupposed, and this fact has a profound impact on religious interpretations. However, the controversial dynamics of developments in the fields of science called the “life sciences” are now leading to significant changes in cultural perception and interpretation, which also demand new interpretation efforts in the theological perspective. This book seeks to meet this challenge.
