99 Thesen zur »Weiterentwicklung von Theologien und religionsbezogenen Wissenschaften« im Spiegel der Wissenschaftsratsempfehlungen vom 29. Januar 2010

The largely acceptable suggestions of the German Council of Science and Humanities give rise to critical questions regarding the specifically scholarly character of theology and the differentiation between theology and religious studies. This applies primarily to theological habilitations, communication, cooperation and the organizational structures of discrepant disciplines, the transfer of Jewish studies and religious studies (missiology/intercultural theology) to the faculty of philosophy and the organization and function of the »advisors« for Islamic theology, since the Council of Science and Humanities is ignoring the legal problems and the scholarly literature and is flouting the general constitutional framework of theology in the pluralistic maintenance of culture in the secular state.
