Interreligious Appropriations in the Global History of Christianity

English summary: This volume explores how Christian communities across time and space have engaged with religious others - reinterpreting, adapting, and integrating elements from non-Christian traditions. Drawing on case studies that span antiquity to modernity and come from African, Asian, and European contexts, the volume introduces the concept of "interreligious appropriation" as a critical lens for understanding the dynamic and often contested processes through which religious identities were and are shaped. Engaging both Eastern and Western Christian traditions and informed by current debates on global history, the book portrays Christianity as a fluid, relational, and globally entangled religion. German description: Wie verhielten sich christliche Gemeinschaften in Afrika, Asien und Europa zu nichtchristlichen Religionen und Traditionen in ihrer Umwelt? Die unter dem Begriffder "interreligiosen Aneignung" versammelten Fallstudien lassen das Christentum von der Antike bis zur Moderne als eine fluide, relationale und global verflochtene Religion erkennen.
