The essays of this volume are mainly lectures given at the international conference held at the Center for Intercultural Theology and the Study of Religion at the University of Salzburg on the occasion of Raimon Panikkars 100th birthday. They look at the life and thought of this outstanding pioneer of interreligious dialogue - already by descendancy rooted in two cultures and religions (Europe and Asia, Christianity and Hinduism) - not only from theological, philosophical, religious studies and spiritual perspectives, but also from a biographical-personal view and investigate into the relevance and inspiration of his life and works for today. "Raimon Panikkar war einer der bekanntesten und produktivsten christlichen interreligiösen Denker des 20. Jahrhunderts. Durch seine Herkunft in zwei Kulturen und Religionen (Christentum und Hinduismus) verwurzelt, entfaltete sich sein Leben als interreligiöser Mensch zwischen Mittelmeer und Pazifischem Ozean, Tiber und Ganges, den Pyrenäen und dem Himalaya. Er formulierte eine universale Philosophie des Menschen, des Göttlichen und des Kosmos (»kosmotheandrisches Mysterium«), während er zugleich die verschiedenen kulturellen und religiösen Traditionen in ihrer Unterschiedlichkeit wertschätzte. Als akademischer wie spiritueller Lehrer sprach er Menschen aus allen Kulturen an. -- "Die Beiträge dieses Sammelbandes sind zum großen Teil Vorträge, die auf einer internationalen Fachtagung anlässlich seines 100. Geburtstages am Zentrum Theologie Interkulturell und Studium der Religionen der Universität Salzburg gehalten wurden. Die Beiträge (u. a. von Bettina Sharada Bäumer, Michael von Brück oder Joseph Prabhu) schauen aus theologischen, philosophischen, religionswissenschaftlichen und spirituellen Gesichtspunkten auf das Leben und Denken dieses großen Pioniers des interreligiösen Dialogs und fragen nach seiner Relevanz und Inspirationskraft für unsere Zeit."

Several decades of cultural and inter-disciplinary scholarship have yielded, and continue to yield, new insights into the diversity of religious experience in Europe from the fifteenth through the seventeenth centuries. Revisionist approaches to humanism and humanists have led to a re-evaluation of the framing of belief; the boundaries between Christianity, Judaism, and Islam are seen to be more fluid and porous; a keen interest in devotion and materiality has lent new voice to 'subaltern' elements in society; sermon studies has emerged as a distinct discipline and a preacher's omissions are now understood to be often more telling than what was said; under the influence of the 'spatial turn' art and architectural history is generating new understandings of how belief and devotion translated into material culture; the emphasis in defining early modern Catholic culture and identity has moved from emphasizing reactions to Protestantism towards exploring roots and forms in fifteenth century reform movements; globalization, mass migration and issues surrounding social inclusion have re-positioned our understanding of reform in the late medieval and early modern period. The essays in this volume reflect these historiographical and methodological developments and are organized according to four themes: Negotiating Boundaries, Modelling Spirituality, Sense and Emotion, and Space and Form. This organization underscores how analysis of religious life clarifies the questions that are at the core of Renaissance studies today.
