Summary
Religion has a hybrid character as both an expression of inner faith and an element of a wider social dynamic. Jörg Dierken studies this hybridity with the help of two opposing guiding principles of religion: the tendency to bring everything divided into a comprehensive wholeness and the effort to depict a counterfactual alternative world.
