Currently, theologies from different religions and traditions exist between highly polarised forces, from fundamentalist ideologies to contextually and transdisciplinary open, and critical-rational concepts. The theological positioning of LIMINA honours the maxim of the Second Vati- can Council in its duty of “scrutinizing the signs of the times and of interpreting them in the light of the Gospel” (Gaudium et spes 4). This anchors LIMINA within the tradition of conciliar theology. As the journal of the Faculty of Catholic Theology at the University of Graz it also follows the faculty’s own focus on theology in current contexts. The journal recognises the current situation of these thresholds as a sign of the times and thus moves the discourse beyond traditional boundaries between disciplines and methods towards changing dynamics. LIMINA offers contributions and perspectives that ̟ honour the scientific, ecumenical, and interreligious orientation of conciliar theology in line with the Second Vaticanum; ̟ creatively and curiously investigate new spaces and concepts from that departure point; ̟ are open to critical examination, and develop and test innovative critical-constructive positions. This can only be achieved in close dialogue with non-theological disci- plines, especially the humanities and cultural sciences, whose perception and integration are an elementary aspect of the journal’s own theological concept. This positioning is formally characterised by the journal’s scientific qual- ity, openness to unconventional methods and experiments, open access to everyone, and engagement with young academics as an educational and publishing resource.
