This book documents the results of a multi-year international and interdisciplinary dialogue. The project was made possible by the Evangelische Kirche im Rheinland, Düsseldorf, Germany. We are most grateful to Präses Dr. Nikolaus Schneider, Vizepräses Petra Bosse-Huber, Vizepräses Christian Drägert, Professor Dr. Bernd Wander, and the staff of the Film Funk Fernseh Zentrum (FFFZ) for their kind support. We are also indebted to Dr. Ellen Peerenboom, Gudrun Strehlow, and the team of the Internationales Wissenschaftsforum (IWH), University of Heidelberg. We acknowledge our gratitude to Dr. Heike Springhart, who was a perfect organizer of the project over many years. Special thanks go to Henning Mützlitz, Heidelberg, who created a print-ready copy, and to Cambridge University Press for their cooperation.
