| Summary: | This first volume of the series ¿́¿Dynamics in the History of Religions¿́¿ reviews the opening conference of the \'Ka¿te Hamburger Kolleg¿́¿ at the Ruhr-University Bochum.

Methodological problems of multi-perspective research and especially the lack of a general religious terminology are discussed in the third chapter, while the final papers outline various aspects of secularization and (re-)sacralisation in the age of globalisation as an effect of multicultural contacts in a world wide web of religious interferences |
