Hergebrachte und neuentstandene religiöse Spannungen im vereinten, säkularisierten Europa und Möglichkeiten Ć auch rechtliche Ćsie zu bewältigen. Durch die fortschreitende Säkularisierung der religiösen Verhältnisse in den europäischen Ländern seit der zweiten Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts werden wechselseitige Ressentiments und Vorurteile zwischen einzelnen Glaubensrichtungen, die weit in die Vergangenheit zurückreichen, verstärkt; außerdem sind neue, teilweise sehr brisante Konflikte entstanden. Die Beiträge dieses Bandes thematisieren vorhandene Spannungsfelder, zeigen Vorurteile einzelner Religionen gegenüber anderen Glaubensrichtungen auf und erörtern Aspekte der gegenwärtigen Situation. Besonderes Interesse gilt hierbei der Situation der Muslime in Europa. Außerdem werden in einzelnen Beiträgen rechtliche Regelungen diskutiert, durch die aufgrund von religiösen Motiven verursachte Konflikte vermieden werden und die zu einer friedlichen Koexistenz der verschiedenen Religionen in einem vereinten Europa führen können. In diesem komplexen Problemfeld kann, wie gezeigt, die Rechtswissenschaft einen besonderen Beitrag leisten.Hergebrachte und neuentstandene religiöse Spannungen im vereinten, säkularisierten Europa und Möglichkeiten - auch rechtliche - sie zu bewältigen.

"For a Western world anxious to understand Islam and, in particular, Shi'ism, this book arrives with urgently needed information and critical analysis. Hamid Dabashi exposes the soul of Shi'ism as a religion of protest - successful only when in a warring position, and losing its legitimacy when in power

As recent headlines reveal, conflicts and debates around the world increasingly involve secularism. National borders and traditional religions cannot keep people in tidy boxes as political struggles, doctrinal divergences, and demographic trends are sweeping across regions and entire continents. And secularity is increasing in society, with a growing number of people in many regions having no religious affiliation or lacking interest in religion. Simultaneously, there is a resurgence of religious participation in the politics of many countries. How might these diverse phenomena be better understood? The Oxford Handbook of Secularism offers a wide-ranging and in-depth examination of this global conversation, bringing together the views of an international collection of prominent experts in their respective fields.

In pre-modern religions in the geographical context of Asia we encounter unique scripts, number systems, calendars, and naming conventions. These can make Western-built technologies - even tools specifically developed for digital humanities - an ill fit to our needs. The present volume explores this struggle and the limitations and potential opportunities of applying a digital humanities approach to pre-modern Asian religions. The authors cover Buddhism, Christianity, Daoism, Islam, Jainism, Judaism and Shintoism with chapters categorized according to their focus on: 1) temples, 2) manuscripts, 3) texts, and 4) social media. Thus, the volume guides readers through specific methodologies and practical examples while also providing a critical reflection on the state of the field, pushing the interface between digital humanities and pre-modern Asian religions into new territory

To know the nature of a man, noted J. G. Hamann in 1759 in his 'Morsels, Crumbs, and Fragments,' you must inquire about the conditions of his life. The 24 essays in the present volume reveal Hamann's position at the crossroads of different social constellations. They raise new questions about the Königsberg scholar's ideas regarding the history of society and religion, social theory, economics, philosophy, political science, and religious studies. In this way, they help us to more precisely locate Hamann's place in the key discourses of the Enlightenment. Manfred Beetz undAndre Rudolph, Universität Halle.

In öffentlichen und medialen Debatten spielt die Verknüpfung von Religion und Gender eine prominente und problematische Rolle. Religiöse Erfahrungen und Praktiken sind ohne Beachtung der Diversität der betroffenen und agierenden Subjekte nicht adäquat zu verstehen. Dennoch ist eine gendersensible Religionswissenschaft immer noch nicht selbstverständlich. Aktuelle und historische Fallstudien zum Zusammenhang zwischen Religion und Diversität nehmen verschiedene Religionen wie den Islam sowie westliches und orthodoxes Christentum in den Blick und behandeln zudem eine Vielfalt an Medien, wie Erzählungen, Filme, Serien oder Reality-TV.
