21 | www.limina-graz.eu In its role, LIMINA uses its scriptural, historic and analytic resources to maintain the connection to the origin and diverse aspects of church and religious traditions. The journal is positioned at the thresholds of religious stories of faith and listens to the voices that speak of life and future despite all odds. It trans- lates and amplifies the communicative and future-oriented potential of these voices in the interest of humankind. 5. Liminal theology The programme of LIMINA can be described as liminal theology. In dis- course with plural religious concepts as well as secular approaches the journal sits on the threshold to future social, cultural and religious constel- lations. The aim is to practise theology as an academic discipline at these borderlines and points of passage. Thus, LIMINA dares to cross between borders and investigate beliefs, including those often considered unassail- able, from both sides – religious tradition and secular position. It keeps the gate open to the unspeakable and the unimaginable and seeks to find a language that emerges at these thresholds. It awaits God as the source and force encompassing and transcending all borders on either side. Peter Ebenbauer On behalf of the editorial team LIMINA – Theological perspectives from Graz LIMINA – Theological perspectives from Graz. A programmatic overview LIMINA is a discourse-oriented catalyst for religious belief and knowledge. Liminal theology always defends reason in its border-crossings without falling into the trap of reductive rationalism.
