Inhalt: The seminar will create an online platform to discuss contextual and intercultural responses to the global crises (financial, ecological, medical, social, political, military) from theological and interreligious perspectives. We shall look for models of interpretation provided by the religious traditions and their scriptures, especially biblical texts, and the ethical guidance religious communities offer for coping with the diverse crises. We will also explore imaginative ways that transcend the new normal towards a pantopia that does not return to the pitfalls of the old normal before the Covid-19 pandemic but tackles the injustices that the virus has revealed. To this aim we will also invite national and international guests to the discourse via webinars. Students will have the chance to interview prominent voices of the intercultural theological scene. They will be enabled to develop critical theological voices regarding the so called New Normal informed by intercultural, interreligious and gender perspectives.
