This collection brings together information about the second funding period of the Kolleg-Forschergruppe ‘Religious individualization in historical perspective’.The papers here presented – written by staff members of the Max We-ber Center as well as by colleagues from other universities who have spent some time as fellows at the institute – address key questions we have discussed in the course of our meetings, and provide an overview of the highly diversified geographical contexts and epochs covered by the research of the group as well.
