Annotation

Im Mittelpunkt des Studiums der Katholischen Religionslehre steht die Beschäftigung mit den christlichen Glaubensüberzeugungen und -traditionen. Gemeinsam stellen wir uns die Frage nach dem Ursprung, der Entwicklung sowie nach der gegenwärtigen Gestalt dieser Überzeugungen und überlegen, wie der christliche Glaube auch in nicht- oder andersreligiöse Kontexte hinein vermittelt werden kann. Das Studium ermöglicht einen Einblick in eine Vielfalt von unterschiedlichen Disziplinen und fördert darüber hinaus auch die kritische Reflexion der eigenen religiösen Prägung.
