Abstract

This first issue deals with different aspects of the history of Christianity and the Churches and is composed like a small kaleidoscope that gives a multi-faceted ‘harmonious’ vision of the complex phenomenon that is contemporary Christianity. This first composite issue offers an overview of several ‘hot’ topics of contemporary life and Christianity such as migration (Salerno), the role of women (Da Rold) and sexuality (biopolitical issues in Borsatto and abuses in Jadda), but also covers the issue of the relationship between state and church (Vian) and the relationship between church and modernity in a broad sense (Talar).
