English summary: Emotionality booms. Presently feelings and emotions play a major role in many scientific fields. The same is true for contemporary endeavours to discern and describe religious phenomena within religious studies. Theology has, however, only little to offer to an interdisciplinary theory of emotion. There are few classic theological approaches to the topic of religious feelings because past and contemporary theological reflection all too often restricts itself to cognitive concepts of religion. Religion is mostly seen as an individual's rational way of meaning-making in order to find guidelines to his or her actions. Thereby important aspects of religious practise are ignored. This book documents different empirical and non-empirical attempts to theorize emotion. It is asked whether there are any emotions and feelings that are in themselves religious? If this is the case, in what way do they differ from non-religious emotions and feelings? What is the relation between a religious idea and the emotion that is connected to it? Are ideas antecedent or do feelings come first? Which ideas work as triggers of which particular religious affections? German description: Gefuhle haben Konjunktur. Gefuhle und Emotionen bilden ein Querschnittsthema, das in vielen Wissenschaften gegenwartig eine grosse Rolle spielt. Das gilt auch fur die Wahrnehmung und Beschreibung der Religion. Im Blick auf die Religion gibt es kaum ein Phanomen von gegenwartig grosser Beachtung, das nicht durch eine herausragende Bedeutung der Dimension der Gefuhle gekennzeichnet ist. Dem grossen Stellenwert, den Gefuhle in den Religionen und offentlichen Debatten uber Religion haben, steht auf theologischer Seite ein Theoriedefizit entgegen. Zwar gibt es einzelne Ansatze, das Gefuhlsthema aufzugreifen, aber nach wie vor dominieren Konzepte, die die kognitive Dimension der Religion im Sinne eines individuellen reflexiven Deutungshandelns in den Mittelpunkt stellen. Damit geraten jedoch zentrale Aspekte religioser Praxis wie die Gefuhlsdimension in der Theologie aus dem Blick. Das vorliegende Buch will daher zur Thematisierung des Gefuhls beitragen, indem es zentrale Fragen zu klaren versucht: Sind 'religiose Gefuhle' Gefuhle sui generis und damit prinzipiell von anderen Gefuhlen zu unterscheiden sind? In welchem Verhaltnis stehen religiose Inhalte und die Gefuhle, die sie begleiten? Sind die Inhalte den Gefuhlen nachgeordnet oder erzeugen die Inhalte spezifische Gefuhle? Religionstheoretische Beitrage werden durch empirische Studien zu Selbstauskunften uber religiose Gefuhle erganzt.
