Hermeneutik der Religion

Zusatztext

Hermeneutics and religion are closely related. It was, after all, religion which brought hermeneutics into existence. This was neither a useless invention, nor was it selfless, since religion needs hermeneutics in order to explain itself. In a world with many and often conflicting religions, hermeneutics becomes especially necessary, not only in order to enable each religion to understand itself but also in order to understand the other religions and those aspects which are unfamiliar. In the essays contained in this work, the authors question whether or not this applies the other way round as well, i.e. whether hermeneutics is also dependent on religion. Is it not possible that hermeneutics is as much in need of religion as religion is in need of hermeneutics?
