In the well-worn debates about religious pluralism and the theology of religions there have been many different rubrics used to account for, comprehend, or engage with the religious other. This text is chiefly a work of Christian theology and seeks to bring the doctrine of creation and the theology of religions into dialogue.

In Europe RE in schools is predominantly organised denominationally. Growing religious plurality in particular is increasingly presenting a challenge for this organisational model. The question of how RE should be organised is currently the subject of controversial debate within the field of religious education studies. Is an alternative format even thinkable for those who hold responsibility for RE in schools? This study dedicates itself to Vienna, which like other European cities, is characterised by a high degree of religious plurality. The study employs a qualitative-empirical approach, in order to take a close look at the discourse around RE within two schools for upper secondary education, where it is coming up against its organisational limits. This study analyses group discussions with RE teachers and with members of the school community committee (an elected body consisting of teacher, pupil and parent representatives, as well as the head of school). Research into these often implicit attitudes towards religion and RE is vital for the development of future oriented forms of RE. This study consequently offers a valuable contribution to context sensitive religious education studies.

Censorship of religious literature in Central Asia is discussed. Kazakhstan not only introduced full prior compulsory censorship of religious literature, but also bookshop licensing in the Oct 2011 Religion Law amendments. This is effectively a ban on selling religious literature anywhere else. Violating the procedure for importing, publishing or distributing religious literature and materials is subject to administrative punishment. Dozen of such fines were handed down in 2013. Two court orders to destroy confiscated religious books including Bibles and the like were overturned, the second after a public outcry. Adapted from the source document.

Examines the conflict behavior of 771 religious minorities in 183 countries between 2000 and 2014. Discrimination, deprivation, and inequality cause grievances, which in turn generate conflict. Different types of discrimination, though, produce different types of grievances. Similarly religious, political, and economic grievances each have a unique influence on outcomes, from nonviolent organizing to rioting to rebellion. Ultimately, it demonstrates that grievances are a central part of conflict processes.
