English summary The psychology of religion is mostly practised in Germany in the field of practical theology and religious education, and does not represent an independent subdiscipline of psychology. Theories of religious development are therefore often influenced by their theological context. In this volume, Allolio-Nacke examines common models of religious development from a psychological perspective and, for the first time in 40A years, outlines a distinct cultural-psychological theory of religious development. The volume concludes with the presentation of a historical framework that traces the emergence of the psychology of religion and situates it within the scientific canon. German description Religionspsychologie wird in Deutschland zumeist im Bereich der Praktischen Theologie und Religionspadagogik betrieben und stellt kein eigenstandiges psychologisches Teilfach dar. Theorien der religiosen Entwicklung sind daher haufig von ihrem theologischen Kontext beeinflusst. Gangige Modelle religioser Entwicklung nimmt Allolio-Nacke in diesem Band aus psychologischer Perspektive in den Blick und entwirft erstmals seit 30 Jahren eine eigene kulturpsychologische Theorie religioser Entwicklung. Ein historischer Rahmen, der die Entstehung der Religionspsychologie nachzeichnet und sie im wissenschaftlichen Kanon verortet, rundet den Band ab.
