LIMINA - Theological perspectives from Graz is the scientific open-access journal of the Faculty of Catholic Theology at the University of Graz. The thematic focus of LIMINA is on current transformation processes and is oriented towards the following questions: What are the socially, culturally, politically, religiously and ecclesiastically most challenging changes and upheavals of the present? How can these be addressed from a theological perspective? In what way do they require innovative methodological and interdisciplinary approaches? How do these changes and conflicts transform theology itself?

Call for Papers - New Beginnings. From the Ending of Worlds to the Vision of Futures

2025-10-31

In times of uncertainty and instability we turn towards new beginnings. Which poses the question: Is it possible to start anew, to leave the past and status quo behind and create something entirely new?

LIMINA 9:2 (autumn 2026) explores the topic of “New Beginnings. From the ending of worlds to the vision of futures” and seeks out philosophical, theological and cultural science potentials and possibilities for new beginnings.

We are looking for academic papers in German or English, which can also be interdisciplinary and methodologically unconventional.

Deadline for outline submission: 15.12.2025

Vol. 8 No. 2 (2025): Peace in Times of Political and Moral Uncertainty

Following the current ecological, political, miliary, social as well as technological developments, our understanding of peace also requires constant rearticulation. While the concept of peace is entangled with certain religious and political roots, it also needs to ideas adapt in order to meet new realities and changes. At the same time, these processes are caught between idealistic concepts of peace, such as positive peace or liberal peace, on the one hand, and the realistic possibilities and limitations of distinct and practically feasible peace practices on the other hand.

LIMINA addresses these issues from the perspectives of theology, political science, the humanities, and peace studies.
