Описание: Muthuraj Swamy provides a fresh perspective on the world religions paradigm and 'interreligious dialogue'. By challenging the assumption that 'world religions' operate as essential entities separate from the lived experiences of practitioners, he shows that interreligious dialogue is in turn problematic as it is built on this very paradigm, and on the myth of religious conflict.
Offering a critique of the idea of 'dialogue' as it has been advanced by its proponents such as religious leaders and theologians whose aims are to promote inter-religious conversation and understanding, the author argues that this approach is 'elitist' and that in reality, people do not make sharp distinctions between religions, nor do they separate political, economic, social and cultural beliefs and practices from their religious traditions.
Case studies from villages in southern India explore how Hindu, Muslim and Christian communities interact in numerous ways that break the neat categories often used to describe each religion. Swamy argues that those who promote dialogue are ostensibly attempting to overcome the separate identities of religious practitioners through understanding, but in fact, they re-enforce them by encouraging a false sense of separation. The Problem with Interreligious Dialogue: Plurality, Conflict and Elitism in Hindu-Christian-Muslim Relations provides an innovative approach to a central issue confronting Religious Studies, combining both theory and ethnography.

Описание: The book by Magdalena Lubanska examines the role of religious syncretism in the social and religious life of Muslim-Christian communities in the Western Rhodopes. The author is interested mainly in the origins and motivations of various beliefs and behaviors which at first sight may appear to be syncretic. She looks at syncretism in the context of anti-syncretic tendencies, particularly pronounced among the Muslim neophytes and young members of the Muslim religious elite, who are not interested in the local forms of post-ottoman Islam (“Adat Islam”), preferring instead a “pure” form of religion, a class of fundamentalist religious movements rooted in orthodox Islam and seeking to remain faithful to mainstream Islamic thought and tradition (“Salafi Islam”). Lubanska findings offer an insight into the fact that although certain actions may appear syncretic in nature, their underlying intentions are often not in fact motivated by syncretic tendencies. This is the first study to look at syncretism in Bulgaria from this perspective.

Описание: Gemeinsam mit seiner Frau Hannah reiste Paul Tillich von Mai bis Juli 1960 nach Japan. Diese Reise wird nun erstmals detailliert dokumentiert. Ediert werden alle von Tillich in Japan gehaltenen Vortrage und Vorlesungen sowie seine Dialoge mit prominenten Buddhisten in Kyoto. In diversen japanischen Archiven haben sich die im Zusammenhang der Reise geschriebenen Briefe zwischen Tillich und seinen uberaus gro?zugigen Gastgebern finden lassen. In einem ausfuhrlichen „Report“ hat Tillich selbst die These vertreten, dass durch die vielfaltigen Erfahrungen in Japan sein Denken uber das Verhaltnis zwischen dem Christentum und anderen Religionen tiefgreifend verandert worden sei. In der Tat war Tillich von der ihm zunachst so fremden Kultur tief beeindruckt. In einer minutiosen Rekonstruktion von Tillichs dichtem Besuchsprogramm kann Tomoaki Fukai zeigen, dass Tillich ein au?ergewohnlich wahrnehmungssensibler Gesprachspartner war und seinen japanischen Gastgebern mit gro?er Neugier begegnete. Tomoaki Fukai schildert zudem den politischen Kontext von Tillichs offiziellem Besuch und seine touristischen Ausfluge.

Описание: Schleiermacher maintained that «to make proselytes out of unbelievers is deeply engrained in the character of religion.» But why do religions proselytize? Do all religions seek conversions? How are religions adapting their proclamations in a deeply plural world? This book provides a detailed analysis of the missionary impulse as it is manifested across a range of religious and irreligious traditions. World Religions and Their Missions systematically compares the motives and methods of the «missions» of Atheism, the Bah?'? Faith, Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, and Mormonism. The text also develops innovative frameworks for interreligious encounters and comparative mission studies.
