The last two decades have seenadynamic increase in the number of activitiesthat are explicitlylinked to the notion of interreligious dialogue (IRD). All overthe world, empirical research projects underlinethe establishment of highlycomplex local scenes of these types of initiatives.¹Especiallyatthe nationallevel, it is possibleto identifyasignificant increase in dialogue organizations–either basedupon state initiativesorthe input of religiousauthorities.²And inthe course of these developments, interreligious dialogue has becomeasignifi-cant topic on the international political agenda, too.It is no longerrestricted tosome expertsofreligiouslyaffiliatednon-governmental organizations (NGOs).IRD has also been put on the agenda of heads of state, as well as intergovern-mental organizations. These developments form the basis ofagrowingcorpus of research-litera-ture that focuses on two main areas: First,present-day researchers are dealingwith the overall development of what is frequentlydescribed as theInterreligiousDialogue Movement.To name but two classic examples: In 1996,Jean-ClaudeBassetpublished the most inclusive history of IRD that givesadetaileddescrip-tion of more than 100years of diverse dialogue initiativesand organizations withaparticularfocus on their conceptual developments.?On the other sideofthespectrum,Catherine Cornille has recentlypublishedthe first conclusive hand-book in the field that combines focal pointsofconceptual discussions withcase studies on the history of dialogue activities between different religious traditions. In sum, these questions indicate an area we have but anecdotal knowledgeabout.Sofar,researchers have primarilytaken the self-presentations of IRD-practitionersatface value. They have tried to systematize their perceptions ofwhat IRD hasto do inanormative way. They have onlyinsufficientlytried tolook at IRD asasocio-culturalphenomenon thathas to be analysed empiricallyand might help to understand the role ofreligion in present-day societies.This is exactlythe objective that stands at the centre of the present book.Itwants to understand the socio-culturalplace of IRD activities. In this sense,thepresent publicationaimsto be ‘talking dialogue'.
