Eva Harasta | Simone Sinn (Eds.)
As societies live with diversity and yet struggle with both social fragmentation and increasing economic inequalities, populism is once again rising. Populist ethno-nationalist discourse seeks to ignite fear and hate, promote marginalization and exclusion of those who are regarded as not belonging to »the people«. What is the role and responsibility of theology and the churches in the midst of these developments?

Examples are given of how churches take up the challenge to resist exclusion and advocate for strengthening participatory processes and people’s agency.
