Book Synopsis Constitutionalism and Religion by : Francois Venter
Download or read book Constitutionalism and Religion written by Francois Venter and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2015-10-30 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This topical book examines how the goals of constitutionalism – good and fair government – are addressed at a time when the multi-religious composition of countries’ populations has never before been so pronounced. How should governments, courts and officials deal with this diversity? The widely accepted principle of treating others as you wish them to treat you and the universal recognition of human dignity speak against preferential treatment of any religion. Faced with severe challenges, this leads many authorities to seek refuge in secular neutrality. Set against the backdrop of globalized constitutionalism in a post-secular era, Francois Venter proposes engaged objectivity as an alternative to unachievable neutrality. Bringing together the history of church and state, the emergence of contemporary constitutionalism, constitutional comparison and the realities of globalization, this book offers a fresh perspective on the direction in which solutions to difficulties brought about by religious pluralism might be sought. Its wide-ranging comparative analyses and perspectives based on materials published in various languages provide a clear exposition of the range of religious issues with which the contemporary state is increasingly being confronted. Providing a compact but thorough historical and theoretical exposition, this book is an invaluable resource for students, constitutional scholars, judges and legal practitioners.

Book Synopsis סובלנות דתית: חזון by : Abdullah Bin Mohammed Al Salmi
Download or read book סובלנות דתית: חזון written by Abdullah Bin Mohammed Al Salmi and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Die Welt ist aus den Fugen - die religiösen Konflikte werden zunehmend zu einer Bedrohung. Zwischen den westlichen Gesellschaften, in denen Religion zur Privatangelegenheit geworden ist, und den religiös geprägten Gesellschaften insbesondere der islamischen Welt wachsen Misstrauen und Angst, oft befeuert von religiösen Fanatikern. Dieser Entwicklung tritt Shaikh Abdullah bin Mohammed al Salmi mit Nachdruck entgegen. Als Religionsminister von Oman ist er mit den religiösen Angelegenheiten des ebenso traditionsverbundenen wie weltoffenen Sultanats betraut und gleichzeitig auf dem internationalen diplomatischen Parkett zu Hause. In seinen Reden vor Institutionen auf vier Kontinenten stellt Shaikh al Salmi unermüdlich seine Vision einer neuen Welt vor, in der Religion nicht mehr für Krieg und Unterdrückung missbraucht wird. Dabei stützt er sich auf den Koran, den jüdischen Gelehrten Ibn Kammuna, den Dalai Lama oder den katholischen Theologen Hans Küng, der dank Shaikh Abdullahs Initiative in der großen Moschee in Muscat Vorträge halten konnte, wie der Shaikh selbst im Dom zu Aachen. Nach seinem Verständnis ruhen alle Religionen auf einem gemeinsamen Fundament von Werten wie Freiheit, Gleichheit und Toleranz, kurz: auf Menschlichkeit. Hier liegt die Chance der Religionen für die Menschheit. Die sieben in diesem Band enthaltenen Reden Shaik Abdullah bin Mohammed al Salmis beweisen die Kontinuität seines kritischen Denkens und seines Versuchs, die Verständigung zwischen den Menschen und insbesondere den Glauben an Gottes Willen zu stärken - einen Willen, der Fortschritt und Wohlergehen für die gesamte Menschheit wünscht. Al Salmi rückt den friedliebenden Geist des Islam gegenüber Juden- und Christentum sowie den anderen Religionen und Kulturen der Welt wieder in den Mittelpunkt und findet mutige und klare Worte zur Rolle von Politik und Religion im Zeitalter der Globalisierung. Shaik al Salmis Argumentation ist geprägt von seiner persönlichen Sicht auf Vergangenheit und Zukunft. Kenntnisreich hinterfragt er die religiösen und politischen Stereotype der islamischen Welt sowie ihre Beziehungen zum Westen. Sein Engagement für religiöse Toleranz und gegenseitiges Verständnis ist ein Vorbild in einer Zeit, in der die Menschheit positive Beispiele dringender braucht denn je. *************** The world is out of joint - religious conflicts are increasingly becoming a threat. Suspicion and fear, often fuelled by religious fanatics, are growing between the western world, where religion has become a matter of individual choice, and societies, particularly in the Islamic world, which are more inherently religious. Shaikh Abdullah bin Mohammed al Salmi counters this development decisively. As Minister for Religion in Oman he is familiar with the religious affairs of the traditional yet cosmopolitan Sultanate, and is at home in the world of international diplomacy. In his speeches to institutions on four continents Shaikh al Salmi tirelessly promotes his vision of a new world in which religion is no longer misused for war and oppression. He bases his arguments on the Koran, the Jewish scholar Ibn Kammuna, the Dalai Lama or the Catholic theologian Hans Küng, who, thanks to Shaikh Abdullah's initiative, was able to lecture in the Grand Mosque in Muscat as the Shaikh himself did in Aachen Cathedral. According to his understanding, all religions are based on a common foundation of values such as freedom, equality and tolerance, in short: on humanity. This is the chance that religion offers to mankind. The seven addresses by Shaikh Abdullah bin Mohammed al Salmi contained in this volume illustrate the continuity of his critical thinking and of his attempts to strengthen both understanding between peoples and in particular the belief in God's will - a will that desires progress and wellbeing for all humanity. Al Salmi brings back into focus Islam's peace-loving spirit towards Judaism and Christianity and towards the other religions and cultures o

Book Synopsis Critical Terms for Religious Studies by : Mark C. Taylor
Download or read book Critical Terms for Religious Studies written by Mark C. Taylor and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2013-07-09 with total page 431 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A century that began with modernism sweeping across Europe is ending with a remarkable resurgence of religious beliefs and practices throughout the world. Wherever one looks today, from headlines about political turmoil in the Middle East to pop music and videos, one cannot escape the pivotal role of religious beliefs and practices in shaping selves, societies, and cultures. Following in the very successful tradition of Critical Terms for Literary Studies and Critical Terms for Art History, this book attempts to provide a revitalized, self-aware vocabulary with which this bewildering religious diversity can be accurately described and responsibly discussed. Leading scholars working in a variety of traditions demonstrate through their incisive discussions that even our most basic terms for understanding religion are not neutral but carry specific historical and conceptual freight. These essays adopt the approach that has won this book's predecessors such widespread acclaim: each provides a concise history of a critical term, explores the issues raised by the term, and puts the term to use in an analysis of a religious work, practice, or event. Moving across Judaism, Christianity, Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam, and Native American and Mayan religions, contributors explore terms ranging from experience, territory, and image, to God, sacrifice, and transgression. The result is an essential reference that will reshape the field of religious studies and transform the way in which religion is understood by scholars from all disciplines, including anthropology, sociology, psychology, cultural studies, gender studies, and literary studies.
Book Synopsis Models of Religious Freedom by : Marcel Stüssi
Download or read book Models of Religious Freedom written by Marcel Stüssi and published by LIT Verlag Münster. This book was released on 2012 with total page 536 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this thesis, the US, Swiss, and Syrian models of religious freedom are illustrated in legal settings. The Analytical Representation comprises more than statements of positive law or mechanical comparison. Each chapter is introduced by thought-forms predominant in the respective legal culture. The objective of the Methodological Representation is to investigate the logic and legitimate pattern by which the US and Swiss judiciary come to the conclusion that an alleged interference is covered under the right to religious freedom. The last dimension, which is the Eclectic Representation, pursues a dual aim. Firstly, the idea is to develop an actual guideline of religious freedom rules, and secondly, to evaluate how much religious freedom is internalized in the US, Swiss, and Syrian legal systems.

Book Synopsis Religious Freedom and Populism by : Bernd Hirschberger
Download or read book Religious Freedom and Populism written by Bernd Hirschberger and published by transcript Verlag. This book was released on 2024-03-31 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Populism is a growing threat to human rights. They are appropriated, distorted, turned into empty words or even their opposite. The contributors to this volume examine these practices using the example of freedom of religion or belief, a human right that has become a particular target of right-wing populists and extremists worldwide. The contributions not only show the rhetorical patterns of appropriation and distortion, but also demonstrate for various countries which social dynamics favor the appropriation in each case and propose how to strengthen human rights and the culture of debate in democratic societies.
Download or read book Migration and Religion written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2015-06-24 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume looks at how religious identity and symbolic ethnicity influence migration. Religion – Christianity – was an important factor in European transatlantic migrations; religion – Islam – is a major issue in the immigration debate in “post-secular” Germany (and Europe) today. Essays focus on German missionaries and their efforts in the eighteenth century to establish new communal forms of living with Native Americans as religious encounters. In a comparative fashion, Islamic transnational migration into Germany in the twenty-first century is explored in a second group of essays that look at Muslim populations in Germany. They provide an insight into the ongoing discussions in Germany about modern migration and the role of religion. This volume is of interest to all who are engaged in issues of historical and contemporary migration, in Cultural and German Studies.

Book Synopsis Religion and Dialogue in the City by : Julia Ipgrave
Download or read book Religion and Dialogue in the City written by Julia Ipgrave and published by Waxmann Verlag. This book was released on 2018 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Urban spaces throughout Europe are increasingly characterised by a mixture of different religions and worldviews. Being home to a wide range of religious and non-religious groups and individuals does not mean that cities are automatically also spaces of interreligious and interfaith encounters. Whether a city is a venue for interreligious encounter and dialogue, or merely a place where various religions and worldviews exist side by side, is a central question for the continuing social cohesion of modern societies. This volume presents selected findings of the international research project 'Religion and Dialogue in Modern Societies' (ReDi) which investigated dialogical practice in the five metropolitan cities Oslo, Stockholm, London, Hamburg and Duisburg. It offers a range of case studies addressing two fields of activity: dialogue and interreligious encounters in the urban space and dialogue in education.
Book Synopsis Religion as Empowerment by : Kyriaki Topidi
Download or read book Religion as Empowerment written by Kyriaki Topidi and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-06-10 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume shows how and why legal empowerment is important for those exercising their religious rights under various jurisdictions, in conditions of legal pluralism. At the same time, it also questions the thesis that as societies become more modern, they also become less religious. The authors look beyond the rule of law orthodoxy in their consideration of the freedom of religion as a human right and place this discussion in a more plurality-sensitive context. The book sheds more light on the informal and/or customary mechanisms that explain the limited impact of law on individuals and groups, especially in non-Western societies. The focus is on discussing how religion and the exercise of religious rights may or may not empower individuals and social groups and improve access to human rights in general. This book is important reading for academics and practitioners of law and religion, religious rights, religious diversity and cultural difference, as well as NGOs, policy makers, lawyers and advocates at multicultural jurisdictions. It offers a contemporary take on comparative legal studies, with a distinct focus on religion as an identity marker.
