Die Reihe "Studien zur interkulturellen Geschichte des Christentums" veröffentlicht Arbeiten aus den Bereichen Missions- und Religionswissenschaft, Ökumenik und Interkulturelle Theologie. In historischer, sozialwissenschaftlicher und theoretischer Erforschung verfolgt sie die Frage der Identität des lokalen und globalen Christentums. Sie tut dies in Anerkennung grundlegender Transformationen, der Bezugnahme auf Andersdenkende und Andersglaubende und im Blick auf die Zukunft der Menschheit.
