Summary

In 2003, theologians and historians from various countries as well as different denominational backgrounds met in Assisi to attempt an overview of religious studies in the 20th century. This meeting contributed to the debate about the effects of epistemological transitions on theology and religious studies in the 20th century. The interdisciplinary approach and the historical, political and interdenominational character of the participants' panel enabled the meeting, the proceedings of which are published here, to identify some "coordinates" on the path of the 20th century from the point of view of theological and religious studies. Alberto Melloni is a researcher at the University of Rome (Italy). He specializes in the History of Christianity. Massimo Faggioli is a researcher at the Department of Politics, Institutions and History at the University of Bologna (Italy).
