Jewish and Christian theologies are guided by the same convictions, basically a message about the non-identic. This article presents a critical theological evaluation of the use of religion as means to develop identity. After addressing the concept of “religious identity” in contemporary discussions, it summarizes basic elements of a theological approach. Third, these insights about identity are reformulated within a contextual and life world theological approach. Finally, the text draws some conclusions, which focus on identity formation within pluralistic cultures.
