The planned panel is dedicated to the question of truth as a central challenge in the context of interreligious hermeneutics and is limited to the Islamic, Protestant and Catholic perspectives. Dealing with the question of truth from these three confessional traditions offers a concentrated basis for developing hermeneutical approaches in a targeted manner and critically scrutinising the significance of interreligious encounters in plural societies. The increasing religious diversity and the practice of interreligious dialogue show that a sound hermeneutical basis is lacking in order to systematically analyse the complexity and depth of the encounters between these three traditions. The panel aims to promote theoretical and methodological innovations specific to the dialogue between Islamic, Protestant and Catholic traditions. By involving leading experts from these perspectives, the partel will develop systematic approaches to the question of truth and develop new approaches to the interpretation of religious texts and traditions. The interdisciplinary exchange is intended to provide innovative impulses that not only advance the academic discussion, but also offer practical orientation for the dialogue between these three religions. The focus is on central questions such as: - How is the question of truth negotiated in the three religious traditions, and what role do normative sources play? - What methodological challenges arise from different truth claims and how can they be hermeneutically justified? - Which theological approaches promote a coherent interpretation in pluralistic societies? - How can religious communities promote the recognition of other beliefs and practices? - To what extent must concepts of salvation be critically reflected upon in order to develop a theology of recognition?
