Religions are core phenomena of human life. In order to understand them, it is not sufficient to be aware of the facts; it is necessary to place the facts within the context of the possible, to shed a critical light on the self-concept of religious realities and to explore their relationships to other forms of reality. This is done in various disciplines whose emphasis varies.

In addition to religious studies, there is a need for the philosophy of religion and theology. The purpose of this series is to provide a forum for testing different approaches and exploring their potential combinations without giving preference to theological or philosophical approaches or advocating certain religious or anti-religious convictions. In doing so, it provides the opportunity to discuss the pros and cons of very different religious, philosophical and theological positions of varying religious traditions in a globalized world. Its essential features are reasoning, clarity of description and the willingness to subject one's own thoughts to the criticism of others.
