Recent academic theology is the result of a long historical process, which established forms and institutions of reflexivity within different religious traditions. This process is fundamental for any dialogue among religions themselves and between religion as such and the secular world. Although the multifarious presence of religion(s) is very much in the focus of todays (post) secular society, the analytical potential of theology and its "scientific" character as an academic discipline is regarded as precarious. Against this background, the Research Training Group reconstructs the historical formation and constitution of theological reflexivity in exemplary fields and, at the same time, offers a systematic account of a rational basis for religious normativity today. The Research Training Group not only engages the different normative religious traditions, represented by the respective theologies, but by including relevant non-theological disciplines also fosters a transdisciplinary, interconfessional and interreligious discourse, which aims at a mutual illumination about the emergence and purpose of theology. On the level of specific topics of research, the Research Training Group focusses on exemplary fields of conflict between the religious traditions themselves and with their "secular" surroundings. In contrast to more empirical approaches in religious studies, sociology and psychology, the Research Training Group puts a lesser emphasis on a neutral description of the diverse religious phenomena, but provides an analysis of the reflexive self-description of religions and their normative claims and argumentations. On the level of academic organisation, the Research Training Group builds on and strengthens existing interdisciplinary cooperation between the faculties of protestant and catholic theology, philosophy and history and the Institute of Islamic Studies at the Goethe University (main research area: "Religion in Dialogue"). This applies also to the cooperation with the Philosophisch-Theologische Hochschule Sankt Georgen and the Hochschule für Jüdische Studien, Heidelberg. The Research Training Group will help to establish Islamic theology as an academic discipline in Germany. It aims at bringing forth alumni with an interreligious competence for academic, political, social and religious careers, and at creating equal opportunities for women in the theologies.

近代学术神学是一个长期历史过程的结果，它在不同的宗教传统中建立了反身性的形式和制度。这个过程是宗教之间以及宗教本身与世俗世界之间任何对话的基础。尽管宗教的多样性是当今（后）世俗社会的焦点，但神学的分析潜力及其作为一门学术学科的“科学”特征被认为是不稳定的。在此背景下，研究训练小组在示范领域重构神学反身性的历史形成和构成，同时为今天的宗教规范提供了一个系统的理性基础。研究培训小组不仅涉及以各自神学为代表的不同规范的宗教传统，而且通过包括相关的非神学学科，也促进了跨学科，教派间和宗教间的话语，旨在相互阐明神学的出现和目的。在具体研究主题的层面上，研究培训小组侧重于宗教传统本身与其“世俗”环境之间冲突的示范领域。与宗教研究、社会学和心理学中更多的经验主义方法相比，研究培训小组较少强调对各种宗教现象的中性描述，而是对宗教的反思性自我描述及其规范性主张和论证进行分析。在学术组织方面，研究培训小组建立并加强了新教和天主教神学、哲学和历史学院与歌德大学伊斯兰研究所之间现有的跨学科合作（主要研究领域：“对话中的宗教”）。这也适用于与圣乔治哲学神学院和海德堡<s:1>宗教<e:1>学院的合作。研究培训小组将帮助在德国建立伊斯兰神学作为一门学术学科。它旨在培养在学术、政治、社会和宗教事业方面具有跨宗教能力的校友，并为妇女在神学领域创造平等的机会。
