The ambiguity that generally characterises religious texts poses fundamental questions for dogma hermeneutics. How can an ensemble of unambiguous norms be derived from narratives that are open to interpretation? What exactly is the relationship between the bindingness and (un)ambiguity of religious statements? A contribution by Annette Langner-Pitschmann to the volume edited by Marlene Deibl and Katharina Meiringer "Eindeutig mehrdeutig. Ambiguitäten im Spannungsfeld von Gesellschaft, Wissenschaft und Religion“ examines the tension between ambiguity and normativity by comparing the linguistic contexts of law and religion.
The link below contains an english abstract of the book.

The more the talk of God loses its self-evidence in the context of global pluralisation, the more the question arises: Is the idea of God a product of pure fantasy? To get to the bottom of this question, a contribution to the anthology Menschlicher Geist - Göttlicher Geist (Human Spirit - Divine Spirit) takes a look at the concept of the collective imaginary presented by the social philosopher Cornelius Castoriadis. He works out that the imaginary is largely beyond our control and thus breaks down the dichotomy between found reality and invented imagination. What can be learned from this with regard to the structure of our reference to God?

The paradigm of digitality is one of the dynamics of the globalised present that shape theological thinking. A compendium, Theologie und Digitalität (Theology and Digitality), edited by Joachim Valentin (Goethe University), explores a broad spectrum of related aspects. In this context, the article addresses the question of what intellectual adaptation might be necessary in the horizon of the digital present, so that the concepts of transcendence and immanence can continue to be thought consistently. What habits of thought does the culture of digitality bring with it, and what needs to be considered with regard to the category of sacramentality if it is to generate resonance also in this space of the present?

Globalisation is inextricably linked with increasing interdependence of ideas, people and markets, especially due to the high mobility of people and the digitality of their communication. Inasmuch as there are many benefits associated with global interconnectedness, it however entails resistance and antagonism towards certain social dynamics. Throughout this process various different interpretations of reality and their contingency are unveiled. Consequently, the plausibility and design of religious claims to validity in today's pluralistic society are brought into the focus of theological reflection.
Within this context Theology in Times of Globalisation aims to contribute to the elucidation of the relation of the validity and particularity of the Christian outlook and anthropology to the legitimacy and universality of its normative claims.
