Gesellschaftlicher Zusammenhalt in der postsäkularen Gesellschaft

With regard to post-secular society, this book addresses two basic questions: To what extent can Christian communication und practice generate resources for social cohesion? And how can this contribution be empirically researched and identified from a sociological and theological perspective? These issues are discussed exemplarily in contributions to a conference relating to social conflicts and educational processes and are contrasted with the question of a suitable understanding of religion. They are complemented by reflections on the concept of the Church and on the question of European solidarity in the coronavirus crisis, a core aspect of social cohesion in the current situation.
