Can theology retain “an awareness of what is missing” (Habermas) and offer its reflexive ability today and in future?

This was the closing question we left you with at the end of our last issue, and it is the starting point for this issue of LIMINA. A further nine articles took up the mantle of (re)thinking  theology in the face of current and future realities, proposing new ideas and approaches as we look at and to theology in the future. What emerges from these contributions is that theological discourse still offers important reflexive and symbolic resources for how we experience and explore present complexities and ambivalences. At the same time, they also demonstrate the willingness to critically reflect on one’s own theological thinking and acting.
