The phenomena of religious pluralization in medieval texts can be observed not just in dramatic transgressions but also in subtle variations. The contributions in this volume sound out these intra- and interreligious spaces from the perspectives of semantics, narratology, and discourse and transmission history, providing new insights into the diversification of religious difference in the pre-modern period. Während sich die Forschungsdiskussion zur Vielfalt religiöser Texte des Mittelalters zumeist auf spektakuläre Zuspitzungen und dramatische Überschreitungen konzentrierte, schlagen die Beiträge des Bandes eine andere Perspektive vor. Pluralisierung und Phänomene der Vervielfältigung werden auf ihre grundlegenden Bedingungen hin untersucht, um auch weniger radikale Formen von Vielfalt und allgemeinere Spielräume sichtbar zu machen, in denen vormoderne Texte intra- und interreligiöse Differenz zulassen und bearbeiten. Ausgehend von semantischen, narratologischen, diskurs- und überlieferungs-geschichtlichen Aspekten erkunden die Beiträge die unterschiedlichen Ausrichtungen, Integrationsformen, Bestimmungen und Bewertungen dieser Spielräume. ,Postsäkulare' Perspektiven werden dabei von pluralistischen Gesellschaften der Gegenwart zu der systematischen Frage umgelenkt, in welcher Form religiöse Texte des Mittelalters plurale Differenzen ermöglichten, erzeugten oder verarbeiteten. Ziel des Bandes ist so ein komplementärer Blick auf Spielräume, die nicht nur von markanten Leitdifferenzen, Überschreitungen und Übertragungen geprägt sind, sondern ebenso sehr von feinen Unterschieden leben.

In Europe RE in schools is predominantly organised denominationally. Growing religious plurality in particular is increasingly presenting a challenge for this organisational model. The question of how RE should be organised is currently the subject of controversial debate within the field of religious education studies. Is an alternative format even thinkable for those who hold responsibility for RE in schools? This study dedicates itself to Vienna, which like other European cities, is characterised by a high degree of religious plurality. The study employs a qualitative-empirical approach, in order to take a close look at the discourse around RE within two schools for upper secondary education, where it is coming up against its organisational limits. This study analyses group discussions with RE teachers and with members of the school community committee (an elected body consisting of teacher, pupil and parent representatives, as well as the head of school). Research into these often implicit attitudes towards religion and RE is vital for the development of future oriented forms of RE. This study consequently offers a valuable contribution to context sensitive religious education studies.
