European societies and religions have always changed. In recent years, this change has accelerated and has become more disruptive. This panel examines current transformation processes in highly religious communities from a sociological, psychological and theological perspective. The subject of the research are various highly religious communities, for example from the field of Evangelicalism, Pentecostalism or in Judaism as well as highly religious people from other denominations, movements and religious communities. The panel will examine both internal aspects of change (e.g. aspects that affect the personal willingness to change or processes of transformational learning), and also external influencing factors, such as digitalization or changes in sexual ethics. In addition to contributions from established researchers, the panel is also open to contributions from young academics.
