About This Book

What binds contemporary Europeans together in terms of cultural values that go beyond a common interest in economic growth? In a time of resurging nationalist movements all over Europe, the need for what former President of the European Commission Jacques Delors called a "soul for Europe" has become more urgent than ever. In this volume, Delors's 25 years old appeal to the churches is taken seriously. In particular, contributions to a common sense of belonging that have been made by the traditions of European Protestantism are carefully investigated. In nineteen case studies, topics and areas as varied as theological identity, religious tolerance, political philosophy, ethics, the arts, the scientific mentality, and the economy are covered. It appears that despite the rise of religious pluralism throughout Europe, aspects of the Protestant ethos continue to be key to societal cohesion in many places.Mit BeitrĂ€gen von Ibolya Balla, Henk van den Belt, Jasper Bosman, Gijsbert van den Brink, Ad de Bruijne, Gerard den Hertog, Zsolt Görözdi, Theo L.

Vor dem Hintergrund der heute vielerorts in Europa aufflammenden nationalistischen Bestrebungen ist der Bedarf nach einer "Seele fĂŒr Europa", wie der frĂŒhere Vorsitzende der EuropĂ€ischen Kommission Jaques Delors es nannte, drĂ€ngender denn je. In diesem Band wird Delors' vor einem Vierteljahrhundert geĂ€ußerten Appell an die Kirchen darum ernst genommen. Besonders BeitrĂ€ge zum gemeinsamen Bewusstsein der Zusammengehörigkeit in der protestantischen Tradition werden sorgfĂ€ltig untersucht und geprĂŒft. In neunzehn Fallstudien werden Themen und Bereiche wie theologische IdentitĂ€t, religiöse Toleranz, politische Philosophie, Ethik, Kunst, wissenschaftliche Haltung und Ökonomie in den Blick genommen. Es zeigt sich, dass trotz des Anwachsens eines religiösen Pluralismus ĂŒberall in Europa, Aspekte des protestantischen Ethos wesentlich zur gesellschaftlichen KohĂ€sion beitragen.
