Springer Nature Switzerland AG Abraham and the Secular: Fracture and Composition
Book SynopsisThis volume offers both theoretical approaches and case studies on the relationship between religion and the secular world. Bringing together contributions from seasoned authors, religious leaders, and brilliant new scholars, it frames the long-standing debate on how to structure a comparative representation of any religion on the one side, and the secular world on the other. Often, the very act of comparing religions exposes them to an assessment of their role in history and politics, and risks leading to some sort of grading and ranking, which is highly unproductive. By candidly discussing the relation between religion and the secular and providing concrete examples from four case studies (Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Baha’I’), this book provides an important reference on how this can be achieved in a neutral way, while keeping in mind the normative finality of seeking conciliation to existing fractures, both within and among religions.Table of ContentsI.

Springer Nature Switzerland AG Theologies from the Pacific
Book SynopsisThis book offers engagements with topics in mainline theology that concern the lifelines in and of the Pacific (Pasifika). The essays are grouped into three clusters. The first, Roots, explores the many roots from which theologies in and of Pasifika grow – sea and (is)land, Christian teachings and scriptures, native traditions and island ways. The second, Reads, presents theologies informed and inspired by readings of written and oral texts, missionary traps and propaganda, and teachings and practices of local churches. The final cluster, Routes, places Pasifika theologies upon the waters so that they may navigate and voyage. The ‘amanaki (hope) of this work is in keeping talanoa (dialogue) going, in pushing back tendencies to wedge the theologies in and of Pasifika, and in putting native wisdom upon the waters. As these Christian and native theologies voyage, they chart Pasifika’s sea of theologies.Table of Contents1. Sea of TheologiesPart I Roots2.

Springer International Publishing AG Between Jabal ʿAmil, Karbala and Jerusalem: The
Book SynopsisThis book tells the story of the Lebanese Shi’a and their development from a marginalized, discriminated minority to a highly politicized community that has given birth to Hezbollah, one of the most powerful paramilitary forces in the contemporary Middle East. It explores the Arab-Israeli conflict through the lens of Shi’a intellectuals and scholars from South Lebanon, and chronologically reflects on trending perceptions of Palestine, the Zionist movement, and the Jewish community in Lebanon.The monograph illustrates how Zionism and the establishment of Israel played a decisive role in the intellectual revival of early Muslim perceptions of Jews. It demonstrates how political conflicts after 1948 have impacted the work of scholars such as Musa as-Sadr and Muhammad Hussein Fadlallah, and have triggered the formation of social and Islamist movements. It also shows how Hezbollah’s leaders have used religious sources and Western anti-Jewish narratives to construct a deep-rooted ideology to support their struggle for South Lebanon and Palestine. The combination of social needs, religious beliefs and political interests forms the core of the analysis. This text appeals to students and researchers working within the convergence of politics and Middle Eastern religions.

De Gruyter Buddhism and the Dynamics of Transculturality: New Approaches
For over 2500 years, Buddhism was implicated in processes of cultural interaction that in turn shaped Buddhist doctrines, practices and institutions. While the cultural plurality of Buddhism has often been remarked upon, the transcultural processes that constitute this plurality, and their long-term effects, have scarcely been studied as a topic in their own right. The contributions to this volume present detailed case studies ranging across different time periods, regions and disciplines, and they address methodological challenges as well as theoretical problems. In addition to casting a spotlight on topics as diverse as the role of trade contacts in the early spread of Buddhism, the hybrid nature of religious practices in Japan or Indo-Tibetan relations in Tibetan polemical literature, the individual papers jointly raise the question as to whether there might be something distinct about how Buddhism steers and influences forms of cultural exchange, and is in turn shaped by modalities of cultural interaction throughout Asian, as well as global, history. The volume is intended to demonstrate the need for investigating transcultural dynamics more closely in the study of Buddhism, and to suggest new avenues for Buddhist Studies.

Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG Lessing und die Folgen
Book SynopsisDie Geschichte des modernen deutschen Dramas beginnt mit Lessing. Gleichwohl gilt er als Autor, der an einer Schwelle steht: Er bereitet den Klassikern den Weg, bleibt aber hinter ihnen zurück. Lessing ist der „Vorklassiker“ der deutschen Literatur, gerühmt und vereinnahmt als Kämpfer für die Nation und das Bürgertum, die Wahrheit und die Toleranz. Robert Vellusig kontrastiert die an Missverständnissen reiche Wirkungsgeschichte Lessings mit seinem facettenreichen Werk und porträtiert ihn als dichtenden Pfarrerssohn und Genie der Kritik, publizistisch versierten Intellektuellen und führenden Vertreter einer Aufklärung, die ihren Namen verdient.Trade Review“... Sehr anregend geschrieben und nicht nur für Germanisten interessant sondern für alle, die sich fragen, worin die bis heute bestehende Bedeutung von Lessings Dramen und Werk besteht. Dieses Buch gibt in aller Kürze (ohne zu verkürzen!) Antworten darauf.” (Frank Seeger, in: ekz-Informationsdienst, Heft 30, 2023)Table of ContentsDas Werk.- Die Folgen.

Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden Laizität und Sozialdemokratie: Eine vergleichende
Book SynopsisDie Öffnung sozialdemokratischer und sozialistischer Parteien gegenüber Religions- und Weltanschauungsgemeinschaften hat zu uneinheitlichen Situationen in den ursprünglich religionskritischen, laizistischen Parteien geführt. Bei allen gemeinsam geteilten Werten der europäischen Schwesterparteien existieren divergierende laizistische Grundhaltungen und Auslegungsarten des Konzeptes der Laizität. Diese bilden den Gegenstand der vorliegenden Arbeit: Die laizistischen Grundhaltungen verschiedener sozialdemokratischer Parteien in Europa werden herausgestellt, verglichen und analysiert. Dies geschieht durch eine Inhaltsanalyse von Parteipublikationen, die ergänzt wird durch Experteninterviews mit prominenten Vertretern der Parteien – so u.a. mit dem früheren spanischen Ministerpräsidenten José Luis Zapatero, mit dem ehemaligen Bundestagspräsidenten Wolfgang Thierse oder mit dem früheren Nationalen Sekretär für Laizität in Frankreich Jean Glavany. Anschließend werden auf Grundlage einer vergleichend ausgerichteten Analyse laizistischer Deutungsmuster der Parteien perspektivisch mehrere Erklärungsansätze und Einflussfaktoren auf die unterschiedlichen laizistischen Ausprägungen formuliert.Table of ContentsEinleitung.- Historische und gegenwärtige politische Konzeptualisierungen von Laizität.- Forschungsdesign: Fallauswahl und methodisches Vorgehen.- Fallstudie Frankreich: Laizistische Grundhaltungen der Parti Socialiste in Religions- und Weltanschauungspolitik.- Fallstudie Spanien: Laizistische Grundhaltungen der Partido Socialista Obrero Español (PSOE) in Religions- und Weltanschauungspolitik.- Fallstudie Deutschland: Laizistische Grundhaltungen der Sozialdemokratischen Partei Deutschlands (SPD) in Religions- und Weltanschauungspolitik.- Vergleichende Analyse und Ergebnisdarstellung, Laizitätspolitik – ein neues Politikfeld?.- Fazit und Ausblick.

Springer Verlag, Singapore Studies on Tantra in Bengal and Eastern India
Book SynopsisThis book explores the tantric concept of Shakti, or the principal female cosmic entity and her pilgrimage sites. It offers a first-hand view of the multidimensional ways in which Shakti asserted its supremacy over existing Vaishnava and orthodox Brahmanical traditions in post mediaeval Bengal and India. The interdisciplinary chapters pave the way to understanding the intra-textual relationships between philosophical and conceptual ideas in literary texts and their oral transmission. Divided into three thematic sections: Cult Inclusiveness, Śakti Pithas, and the Śākta Philosophy, the book invites readers to explore a contested area of scholarship from unique perspectives, offering rich insights into the nature of negotiations between diverse religious streams. It also urges readers to examine the many innovative approaches and theoretical models on the goddess culture of East India. The book is of interest to students and scholars of religious textual studies, anthropology, pilgrimage studies, comparative religion, Sanskrit and Bengali languages, regional studies, South Asian cultures, goddess traditions and cultural history of mediaeval Bengal.Table of ContentsSection I: Cult Inclusiveness: Tantric Śākta and Vaiṣṇava Synthesis 1.

Oxford University Press Inc Jealous Gods and Chosen People
Book SynopsisEsteemed scholar David Leeming, who has authored more than twelve books on mythology, here offers the first comprehensive narrative study of the mythology of the Middle East, that tumultuous region that was the cradle of civilization. Leeming begins with a brief, engaging history of the Middle East, spanning Neolithic cultures, the Bronze Age and the Iron Age, the invention of writing and the rise of Egypt and Babylonia, Israel and Roman rule, and the early history of the Jews, Christians, and Muslims. This is followed by an in-depth discussion of the mythology of the region, covering individual pantheons, cosmic myths, mythic heroes, and much more. Leeming ranges from prehistoric figures such as the Mother Goddess of Çatal Hüyük to Mesopotamian gods such as Marduk and mythic heroes such as Gilgamesh, to the pantheon of Egyptian mythology, including the falcon-headed sky-sun god Horus and jackal-headed Anubis. The author also offers an illuminating exploration of the mythology of the Trade Review"An excellent introduction to the important mythologies formulated by peoples whose descendents still shape the conflicts in the Middle East. Judaism, Christianity, and Islam all arose in the Middle East, and in accessible and graceful prose, Leeming illuminates the archaelogical and cultural background for the emergence of those warring-cousin belief systems."--Booklist"Leeming's useful survey offers an introductory guide to tales that for centuries have influenced people's religion and culture."--Publishers Weekly"In this accessible survey of Middle Eastern mythology, Leeming chooses not to dwell on competing ideologies and predicaments of the troubled region and instead demonstrates that spiritual truth and religion, like mythology, make for metaphorical rather than factual history.... This book offers an accessible treatment of a dense and complex topic that will be equally useful to nonspecialists and scholars seeking a quick and informed understanding of Middle Eastern mythology. Highly recommended for any public or academic library."--Library Journal

Oxford University Press Inc Religious Education and the Challenge of Pluralism
Book SynopsisThe essays in this volume offer a groundbreaking comparative analysis of religious education, and state policies towards religious education in seven different countries and in the European Union as a whole. They pose a crucial question: can religious education contribute to a shared public sphere and foster solidarity across different ethnic and religious communities? In many traditional societies and even in what are largely secular European societies, our place in creation, the meaning of good and evil, and the definition of the good life, virtue, and moral action, are all primarily addressed in religious terms. It is in fact hard to come to grips with these issues without recourse to religious language, traditions, and frames of reference. Yet, religious languages and identities divide as much as unite, and provide a site of contestation and strife as much as a sense of peace and belonging Not surprisingly, different countries approach religious education in dramatically different Trade ReviewThis is an important collection of essays that juxtaposes religious education in countries rarely ever juxtaposed in this fashion. More than showcasing different countries, the juxtaposition offers significant, and at times even startling, insights about religious education as a particularly contested site, which in turn reveals the fluidity of identity across different facets of belonging, and community that dont always fit easily together. An impressive work that should be read by anyone interested in how education centrally features in current debates about law, religion, and politics. * Anver M. Emon, Faculty of Law, University of Toronto *The authors also move past description to suggest a way beyond the separation of sacred and secular spheres: education for knowledge about one another for the purpose of common action in 'shared civil life.' * L.

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Routledge Handbook of MuslimJewish Relations
Book SynopsisThe Routledge Handbook of Muslim-Jewish Relations invites readers to deepen their understanding of the historical, social, cultural, and political themes that impact modern-day perceptions of interfaith dialogue. The volume is designed to illuminate positive encounters between Muslims and Jews, as well as points of conflict, within a historical framework. Among other goals, the volume seeks to correct common misperceptions about the history of Muslim-Jewish relations by complicating familiar political narratives to include dynamics such as the cross-influence of literary and intellectual traditions. Reflecting unique and original collaborations between internationally-renowned contributors, the book is intended to spark further collaborative and constructive conversation and scholarship in the academy and beyond.Trade Review'This volume [is] an important contribution to the growing literature on Muslim-Jewish relations'- Mark R. Cohen, Khedouri A.
