Thematic Resources
a dynamic atlas for exploring scholarly horizons

The dynamics of religion, theology, and educational research in contexts for learning shaped by diversity and plurality are not confined to a single tradition, worldview, method, or moment. They unfold across various disciplines, languages, and lived encounters. The Resources section of TheologiKI is not simply a directory. It is a dynamic map of a field in motion: a living taxonomy that orients researchers, educators, and learners within a multidimensional terrain that spans theology, ethics, philosophy, education, dialogue, peace studies, sustainability, policy, and religious studies. Rather than flattening complexity, it makes it navigable, illuminating the tensions, convergences, and creative possibilities that animate intercultural and interpersonal engagement at the intersections of religion, theology, and education today. From areas such as ritual and embodiment to AI ethics, practical and postcolonial theology, these themes follow questions rather than boundaries. They trace how conversations about reason, revelation, and respect, pedagogy, gender, and pluralism, empathy, vulnerability, and compassion migrate across intellectual domains, worldviews, spiritualities, faith traditions, and communities of practice.
Rooted in rigorous academic research and pedagogical practice, this framework invites exploration of not only what we study, but also how and why we study across difference. For researchers, it sparks new constellations of inquiry. For educators, it scaffolds lesson planning, dialogical engagement, and practical as well as comparative theological reflection. For learners, it cultivates worldview literacy and both cognitive and affective empathy, nourishing their intellectual formation as well as their capacity for ethical and relational understanding. Each theme is a pathway into broader conversations about meaning, encounter, fairness, belonging, and the divine in a plural world. More than a classification tool, this section is a generative structure: open-ended enough to welcome evolving paradigms, yet grounded enough to anchor comparative, multidisciplinary, and practical scholarship capable of addressing the complex challenges of our time. It is a space for co-formation, co-learning, and co-theologizing.
Explore, critique, contribute — this is your map to a field that is not finished, but unfolding. If you know of a piece of research, in any European or non-European language, that could contribute to the themes outlined here but is not yet included, please email us with your recommendation. Thank you.
