Download or read book "Europäische" Religionsgeschichte written by Helmut Zander and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2015-12-18 with total page 642 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Die Religionsgeschichte im Okzident besitzt – wie jede religiöse Tradition – ein spezifisches Profil, so die These dieses Buches: In der Spätantike entstand ein neues Konzept religiöser Zugehörigkeit, das Europa fundamental und bis heute prägt: Menschen konnten einer „Religion“ nicht mehr nur durch Geburt, sondern auch aufgrund einer Entscheidung angehören. Das klingt banal, revolutionierte aber das Religionssystem. Dies dokumentieren Erfindungen des frühen Christentums: ein Ritus zum Eintritt („Taufe“), religiöse Unterweisung („Katechese“), Ausbreitung jenseits ethnischer Grenzen („Universalismus“) durch „Mission“ und „Konversion“. Diese Elemente führten zu einem neuen, demjenigen Verständnis von „Religion“, welches heute den umgangssprachlichen und religionswissenschaftlichen Religionsbegriff prägt. Der Eigensinn dieser Entwicklung im Okzident wird durch komparative Perspektiven sichtbar, etwa in der Frage, in welchem Sinn man im Buddhismus von einer „Mission“ sprechen kann oder in welchem Ausmaß das Verständnis von „wahrer“ und „falscher“ Religion im Islam auf dessen Verknüpfung mit der Christentumsgeschichte zurückgeht. Dem zentralen Kapitel über „Entscheidung“ folgen vier Kapitel zu kulturellen Konsequenzen einer auf Entscheidung gegründeten Zugehörigkeit. Zwei gegenwartsbezogene Konsequenzen im Bereich von Religionspolitik und Kultur werden exemplarisch genannt: Das Problem religiöser Pluralität, die damit verbundene Verfolgung aus religiösen Gründen und die dann entstandene Religionsfreiheit sind nicht ohne die Forderung nach einer Entscheidung in Religionsangelegenheiten zu verstehen. Und: Das neue Religionskonzept prägt aufgrund der europäischen Expansion heute das Verständnis von Religion in einer globalisierten Kultur.

Book Synopsis Beyond the Balkans by : Sabine Rutar
Download or read book Beyond the Balkans written by Sabine Rutar and published by LIT Verlag Münster. This book was released on 2014 with total page 500 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book shows how current and future research on the social history of the Balkans can be integrated into a broader European framework. The contributions look at a range of methodological and empirical issues, and the theme that links the various studies is that of the contrasting, yet, at the same time, entangled ideas of the Balkans as a "mental map" and of Southeast Europe as an "historical region."

Download or read book Kykeon written by H.F.J. Horstmanshoff and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2015-08-27 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A collection of papers with new insights on ancient religion, read at a colloquium in honour of Professor H.S. Versnel ("Inconsistencies in Greek and Roman Religion"). The contributions, presented by nine leading scholars in the field, cover many areas of the religious experience of the Greeks and Romans: myth and ritual (W. Burkert), the gods (F. Zeitlin), cult, festivals, sacrifice. Several papers consider methodological problems and the progress of scholarship; they highlight the contribution of H.S. Versnel to the field. The papers are based on a wide range of sources: pagan and Christian, literary and epigraphical and iconographical. The collection will fascinate all scholars interested in ancient religion, whether they study malign magic, the Imperial cult or general theory.

Book Synopsis Alternative Voices by : Oliver Freiberger
Download or read book Alternative Voices written by Oliver Freiberger and published by Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht. This book was released on 2013-07-17 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When scholarship presents the histories, belief systems, and ritual patterns of specific religious groups, it often privileges victorious and élite fractions of those communities to the detriment and neglect of alternative, dissonant, and resurgent voices. The contributions in this volume, which include case studies on various religious and academic contexts, illustrate the importance of listening to those alternative voices for the study of religion.
Book Synopsis Reading the Way to the Netherworld by : Ilinca Tanaseanu-Döbler
Download or read book Reading the Way to the Netherworld written by Ilinca Tanaseanu-Döbler and published by Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht. This book was released on 2016-12-05 with total page 551 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The volume focuses on the various representations of the Beyond in later Antiquity, a period of intense interaction and competition between various religious traditions and ideals of education. The concepts and images clustering around the Beyond form a crucial focal point for understanding the dynamics of religion and education in later Antiquity. Although Christianity gradually supersedes the pagan traditions, the literary representations of the Beyond derived from classical literature and transmitted through the texts read at school show a remarkable persistence: they influence Christian late antique writers and are still alive in medieval literature of the East and West. A specifically Christian Beyond develops only gradually, and coexists subsequently with pagan ideas, which in turn vary according to the respective literary and philosophical contexts. Thus, the various conceptualisations of the great existential unknown, serves here as a point of reference for mirroring the changes and continuities in Imperial and Late Antique religion, education, and culture, and opening up further perspectives into the Medieval world.

Book Synopsis Aesthetics of Religion by : Alexandra K. Grieser
Download or read book Aesthetics of Religion written by Alexandra K. Grieser and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2017-12-18 with total page 506 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is the first English language presentation of the innovative approaches developed in the aesthetics of religion. The chapters present diverse material and detailed analysis on descriptive, methodological and theoretical concepts that together explore the potential of an aesthetic approach for investigating religion as a sensory and mediated practice. In dialogue with, yet different from, other major movements in the field (material culture, anthropology of the senses, for instance), it is the specific intent of this approach to create a framework for understanding the interplay between sensory, cognitive and socio-cultural aspects of world-construction. The volume demonstrates that aesthetics, as a theory of sensory knowledge, offers an elaborate repertoire of concepts that can help to understand religious traditions. These approaches take into account contemporary developments in scientific theories of perception, neuro-aesthetics and cultural studies, highlighting the socio-cultural and political context informing how humans perceive themselves and the world around them. Developing since the 1990s, the aesthetic approach has responded to debates in the study of religion, in particular striving to overcome biased categories that confined religion either to texts and abstract beliefs, or to an indisputable sui generis mode of experience. This volume documents what has been achieved to date, its significance for the study of religion and for interdisciplinary scholarship.

Book Synopsis Religion and its History by : Jörg Rüpke
Download or read book Religion and its History written by Jörg Rüpke and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-05-09 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Religion and its History offers a reflection of our operative concept of religion and religions, developing a set of approaches that bridge the widely assumed gulf between analysing present religion and doing history of religion. Religious Studies have adapted a wide range of methodologies from sociological tool kits to insights and concepts from disciplines of social and cultural studies. Their massive historical claims, which typically idealize and reify communities and traditions, and build normative claims thereupon, lack a critical engagement on the part of the researchers. This book radically rethinks and critically engages with these biases. It does so by offering neither an abridged global history of religion nor a small handbook of methodology. Instead, this book presents concepts and methods that allow the analysis of contemporary and past religious practices, ideas, and institutions within a shared framework.
Book Synopsis Medicine - Religion - Spirituality by : Dorothea Lüddeckens
Download or read book Medicine - Religion - Spirituality written by Dorothea Lüddeckens and published by transcript Verlag. This book was released on 2018-11-30 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In modern societies the functional differentiation of medicine and religion is the predominant paradigm. Contemporary therapeutic practices and concepts in healing systems, such as Transpersonal Psychology, Ayurveda, as well as Buddhist and Anthroposophic medicine, however, are shaped by medical as well as religious or spiritual elements. This book investigates configurations of the entanglement between medicine, religion, and spirituality in Europe, Asia, North America, and Africa. How do political and legal conditions affect these healing systems? How do they relate to religious and scientific discourses? How do therapeutic practitioners position themselves between medicine and religion, and what is their appeal for patients?
Book Synopsis Migration and Diaspora Formation by : Ciprian Burlăcioiu
Download or read book Migration and Diaspora Formation written by Ciprian Burlăcioiu and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2022-09-20 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The role of migration for Christianity as a world religion during the last two centuries has drawn considerable attention from scholars in different fields. The main issue this book seeks to address is the question whether and to what extent migration and diaspora formation should be considered as elements of a new historiography of global Christianity, including the reflection upon earlier epochs. By focusing on migration and diaspora, the emerging map of Christianity will include the dimension of movement and interaction between actors in different regions, providing a more comprehensive ‘map of agency’ of individuals and groups previously regarded as passive. Furthermore, local histories will become parts of a broader picture and historiography might correlate both local and transregional perspectives in a balanced manner. Behind this approach lies the desire to broaden the perspective of Ecclesiastical History – and religious history in general – in a more systematic manner by questioning the traditional criteria of selection. This might help us to recover previously lost actors and forgotten dynamics.
Book Synopsis The European Experience by : Jan Hansen
Download or read book The European Experience written by Jan Hansen and published by Open Book Publishers. This book was released on 2023-02-21 with total page 767 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The European Experience brings together the expertise of nearly a hundred historians from eight European universities to internationalise and diversify the study of modern European history, exploring a grand sweep of time from 1500 to 2000. Offering a valuable corrective to the Anglocentric narratives of previous English-language textbooks, scholars from all over Europe have pooled their knowledge on comparative themes such as identities, cultural encounters, power and citizenship, and economic development to reflect the complexity and heterogeneous nature of the European experience. Rather than another grand narrative, the international author teams offer a multifaceted and rich perspective on the history of the continent of the past 500 years. Each major theme is dissected through three chronological sub-chapters, revealing how major social, political and historical trends manifested themselves in different European settings during the early modern (1500–1800), modern (1800–1900) and contemporary period (1900–2000). This resource is of utmost relevance to today’s history students in the light of ongoing internationalisation strategies for higher education curricula, as it delivers one of the first multi-perspective and truly ‘European’ analyses of the continent’s past. Beyond the provision of historical content, this textbook equips students with the intellectual tools to interrogate prevailing accounts of European history, and enables them to seek out additional perspectives in a bid to further enrich the discipline.
