A practical theology, that wants to face the complexity, plurality and differentiation of situations and contexts of religious practices from a global point of view, needs to refer to the discourses that shape them. The contributions can be divided into the sections ‘concepts of religion’, ‘religious practices’, and ‘discourses’, their aim is to identify the respective religious-cultural context and the related framework of interpretation.

Bringing together Scandinavian and German scholars of theology, religious studies and sociology, this volume explores and discusses how theological engagement with practice, theoretically as well as empirically, might profit from theories of practice developed in other disciplines.

Alltagsdinge und Artefakte rücken im Kontext der Forschung zur materiellen Kultur zunehmend in den Fokus der Praktischen Theologie. Die Beiträge des Bandes nehmen diese Entwicklung auf. Sie stellen Dinge wie z.B. Glocke, Salböl, Kerze, Kanzel, Losungsbuch, Kalender, Sitzkissen, Grabstein, Bergschuhe, Schieferplatten, Tattoo, Maske oder Smartphone ins Zentrum und entfalten ihre ästhetische, religionskulturelle und praktischtheologische Relevanz.

Artefakt; Hermeneutik/Religion; Kollektives Gedächtnis; Sachkultur

Everyday things and artefacts are the focus of practical theology in the context of material culture research. The chapters in this volume take up this development. They shine the spotlight on things like bells, holy anointing oil, candles, pulpits, books of maxims, calendars, seat cushions, tattoos, masks, and smartphones, and unfurl their aesthetic, religious-cultural, and practical theological relevance.

Material culture; hermeneutics of religion; arctefacts; commemorative culture
