Abstract

The first edition of the Interdisciplinary Journal for Religion and Transformation in Contemporary Society (J-RaT) is especially dedicated to the theme of religion in a post-secular world with a view to analysing the diverse interactions between social transformation processes and religions not only in post-secular European contexts, but also within the broader framework of globalisation. In particular, it examines the different meanings and aspects of the categories of secularisation and post-secularisation in different cultural contexts in order to present analogies and differences within today´s global processes from different academic perspectives.

In addition to the aforementioned focus topic, contribuions also analyse the paradigmatic changes in our symbolic cultural orders to juridical, societal cultural, political, theological and religious-philosophical challenges and how they relate to religious transformations.
