Religion & Theology

The Handbook of Religions (HdR) is a reference work published as a peer-reviewed journal and a leading periodical for the communication of the structures, processes, determinants and realities of the religious landscape in Germany and German-speaking countries (Austria, Switzerland). At the cutting edge of research findings, this unique informatory provides in-depth knowledge on the entire spectrum of religious traditions. As an interdisciplinary, non-dogmatic work whose authors are committed to a religious studies approach, the HdR does not recognise "true" and "false" or "true" and "untrue" religions. The HdR has a firm place in the landscape of religious education. It is impossible to imagine today's academic discourse on religions in the German-speaking world without it.
