Synopsis: English summary: The great scholar of religion and ecumenical leader Nathan Soderblom (1866-1931) is only partially known in the English-speaking world. Much of his many-faceted work has never been translated from the original Swedish. Existing literature either explores important aspects of his work or limits its scope to the Swedish environment. The present monograph aims to overcome these limitations and to offer a coherent picture of the whole. Soderblom's views and activities are shown in their biographical as well as contemporary social, religious, and intellectual context. Extensive use has been made not only of his copious literary production, but also of his unpublished remains, as well as of the works of those important thinkers and churchmen of the time with whom he was engaged in a lively exchange of ideas. In this way an attempt is made to communicate on an international scale a panorama of the period before and after World War I as seen through the eyes of one of its most prominent representatives. German text. German description: Der grosse schwedische Denker N.Soderblom (1866-1931) war ein Pionier der vergleichenden Religionswissenschaft, Religionsphilosoph und Theologe, bedeutender schwedischer Erzbischof und Mitbegrunder der okumenischen Bewegung. Seine grossten wissenschaftlichen Leistungen sind die Entdeckung des Heiligen als Grundbegriff der Religion und eine neue Interpretation der schriftlosen Religionen. Der Hohepunkt seiner okumenischen Tatigkeit war die Konferenz in Stockholm 1925. Seine Theorie der Okumene - Einheit in Mannigfaltigkeit, friedlicher Wettbewerb und praktische Zusammenarbeit gleichberechtigter, in Lehre und Organisation selbststandig bleibender Kirchengemeinschaften - ist bis heute aktuell. Fur seine Bemuhungen um den Weltfrieden wurde er 1930 mit dem Friedens-Nobelpreis ausgezeichnet. Ein grosser Teil seines vielseitigen literarischen Werkes ist nur auf Schwedisch zuganglich und deshalb in Deutschland unbekannt. Die bisherige Literatur hat wichtige Aspekte seines Denkens analysiert. Dietz Lange stellt Soderbloms Denken und Wirken erstmals im Ganzen dar und stutzt sich dabei nicht nur auf die Druckschriften, sondern auch auf den umfangreichen Nachlass, vor allem Briefe oder Tagebucher.Das Lebenswerk wird dabei in den biographischen Zusammenhang hineingestellt, in die wissenschaftliche Diskussionslage und allgemeine geistige Situation der Zeit eingeordnet und auf die sozialen, politischen und kirchlichen Verhaltnisse der damaligen Welt bezogen. Auf diese Weise soll nicht nur ein Eindruck von Soderbloms weitem internationalem Horizont, sondern auch ein lebendiges Bild der Epoche, in der er gelebt hat, vermittelt werden.
