Topic and goals
<\/h2>

The majority of the researchers in this group have already been working for many years on applying a multidisciplinary approach to the subject of current issues surrounding the understanding of the phenomenon of religion and its processes of creation and expression, transmission and evolution - an approach at the intersection of culture, science and religion, philosophy and Christianity. It is in this way that modern history, religious anthropology, fundamental and systematic theology and hermeneutic, metaphysical and phenomenological philosophy make up the main disciplines of this research group and give it coherence.
<\/p>

Flagship project for 2020-2025
<\/h2>

Between the public health crisis, climate crisis, \u2018Anthropocene\u2019 and \u2018human enhancement\u2019, the certainties and expectations of the people of today are being transformed, and not without causing concern. These changes are moving so far from anything we have seen before that it leads us to question the very possibility of \u2018transmitting\u2019 in a world where our sources of information, institutions, spiritual expectations and understanding of what it means to be human are being rewritten. <\/p>

In the face of so many different cultural expressions and expectations, what language can make sure an account of a transcendent experience is heard? What do figures demonstrating spiritual elevation transmit? How do communities negotiate innovation, interpretation and a return to their roots while carrying out their goals? Our European context and international networks (IAMS, IHRC, PLURIEL, etc.) provide the material for this joint, multidisciplinary research.<\/p>
