Abstract Religious speeches aim at social efficacy. They are therefore an important resource for religious communities and groups. The article pursues a cultural concept of resources, which does not ask about the benefit of a resource, but about its values in and effects on societies. The crucial elements are the social dynamics, actions and relationships that are closely related to culturally shaped interests in and use of resources. This concept is brought into conversation with more recent research on Christian and Islamic preaching cultures. Anthropological research in particular has repeatedly pointed to the social value attributed to preaching. This interdisciplinary article shows the yield of the dialogue between anthropology and practical theology.

宗教言论作为资源。研究报告

摘要 宗教演讲以社会效能为目标。因此，它们是宗教社区和团体的重要资源。本文追求一种资源的文化概念，它不询问资源的好处，而是询问其在社会中的价值和对社会的影响。关键要素是与文化形成的对资源的兴趣和使用密切相关的社会动态、行动和关系。这个概念与最近对基督教和伊斯兰传教文化的研究进行了对话。特别是人类学研究一再指出讲道的社会价值。这篇跨学科的文章展示了人类学和实践神学之间对话的成果。
