About the Journal

Since the summer of 2024, the University of Tübingen has had a „Campus der Theologien“ (Campus of Theologies), which consists of the university's three theological institutions: the Faculty of Protestant Theology, the Faculty of Catholic Theology, and the Center for Islamic Theology. The „Campus der Theologien“, which initially only denotes a spatial proximity, brings together the already existing forms of cooperation and serves to intensify the scientific cooperation of the participating institutions in research and teaching, as well as to strengthen the ecumenical and interreligious profile of the Tübingen theologies. The newly established scientific journal „Campus der Theologien  – Theologische Studien und Kritik“makes the theological findings of the Tübingen „Campus der Theologien“ available to a broad public and strengthens mutual exchange. The journal's themed issues feature articles on current issues and topics from the various theological disciplines and the various theologies. In addition, forms and possibilities of ecumenical, comparative, inter- or transreligious theology are explored and their potential is tested. Academic theologies must have an impact on an increasingly secular public, in which, on the one hand, religious diversity is lived peacefully, but on the other hand, it is also associated with exclusion and violence. In view of this, the editors see the journal as a forum for theological debate that seeks to do justice to the ambivalent social significance of religious diversity. Not least, the journal „Campus der Theologien“ aims to contribute to overcoming typecasting of the self and the other through religious and confessional cooperation and to revealing the productive diversity of the theologies.
