The focus on religious education and in particular religious education and media relates to phenomena of digital communication as well as traditional analogue media.

With regard to research into digital media world phenomena, reference can be made to publications on the selfie phenomenon, among others. In addition to an article on selfies in the Wissenschaftliches Religionspädagogisches Lexikon (WiReLex) (Digital Object Identifier: https://doi.org/10.23768/wirelex.Selfies.200806), these include an anthology and a teaching aid.
