Beschreibung
This volume explores how Christian communities across time and space have engaged with religious others - reinterpreting, adapting, and integrating elements from non-Christian traditions. Drawing on case studies that span antiquity to modernity and come from African, Asian, and European contexts, the volume introduces the concept of "interreligious appropriation" as a critical lens for understanding the dynamic and often contested processes through which religious identities were and are shaped. Engaging both Eastern and Western Christian traditions and informed by current debates on global history, the book portrays Christianity as a fluid, relational, and globally entangled religion.
