This years’ annual conference of the Tübingen-based Research Training Group “Religious Knowledge in Pre-Modern Europe (800–1800)” will take place in Jerusalem and focus on “Religious Encounters”. On the one hand, the programme focusses on the processes of transferring religious knowledge, and on the other hand on the transformations that have been initiated through contacts with individuals or communities of other faiths, dogmas or beliefs, that is, through encounters with other religions or religious denominations. The contacts and encounters in question can take various shapes: coexistence, affirmative or critical dialogue as well as controversial or even violent conflict. By discussing pictorial, material or textual sources, we hope to reach a deeper understanding of these processes through which religious knowledge is transferred between different religions or religious groups.
