    Is the question of God still relevant to our time? Empirical studies from an international perspective show that whilst there are indications of God’s continuing importance, the tendency also clearly exists to perceive the notion of God as obsolete. The articles deal with questions relating to the content, structure and function of conceptual images of God. The studies document the prevailing variety and forms of religious practice and highlight the issues of God present - out of necessity from an oecumenical and interdisciplinary point of view. If and how the question of God is asked is not only of denominational interest, but is also of a cultural importance to the individual and to public life in Europe. The empirical studies in this collection were discussed at the “Würzburg Research Days - Practical Theology” in December 2000.
