Religion and Politics in the 21st Century is composed of a number of articles that were presented during the 2012 international conference on "Religion and Politics in the Globalization Era" organized by the Centre for Political Analysis in Cluj-Napoca, Romania. With careful attention given to 21st century religious resurgence and its dynamic interactions with political structures and the public sphere, the present volume captures a wide variety of perspectives on contemporary religion and politics, ranging from theoretical approaches to case studies and from analyzing global facets to exploring local situations. Its thematic richness and its careful exploration of not only present realities, but also of patterns of past interactions and of possible future directions, render this volume a valuable resource for scholars, policy makers and the general public as well.

Conceived for students with little or no background in the academic study of religions, Religions of the World offers the most broad coverage of world religions supported by primary source documents, coverage of religions as they exist today, and integrated media resources.

In this edition, he has edited the text closely for clarity and readability and made other changes to keep it up to date and accurate including updating all sections on religion today for each tradition. Religions of the World is comprehensive, readable, and engaging for all students.

Adam H. BeckerSince the period dealt with is a time of transition from the ancient to Medieval world, it is particularly helpful to have a book that shows how these two worlds were intimately linked from a cultural point of view prior to the political separation brought about by the Arab conquests in the seventh century."--Sebastian Brock, Oxford University

Segal reconstructs the development of the "two powers in heaven" heresy through prudent dating of the stages of the rabbinic traditions. Segal stresses the importance of perceiving the relevance of rabbinic material for solving traditional problems of New Testament and gnostic scholarship, and at the same time maintains the necessity of reading those literatures for dating rabbinic material.

En los siglos II y III se produjo un conflicto ideológico entre dos cristianismos: el apostólico y el gnóstico. Por una parte, se propagaba una interpretación especulativa y ahistórica de la salvación cristiana, con tonos incluso poeticos. Las minorias el

This classic work, winner of the 1973 National Book Award in Philosophy and Religion and Christian Century's choice as the Religious Book of the Decade (1979), is now issued with a new chapter by noted religious historian David Hall, who carries the story of American religious history forward to the present day.

Yohanan FriedmannSince the beginning of its history, Islam has encountered other religious communities both in Arabia and in the territories conquered during its expansion. The most distinctive characteristic of these encounters was that Muslims faced other religions from the position of a ruling power. They were, therefore, able to determine the nature of that relationship in accordance with their world-view and beliefs. Yohanan Friedmann's original and erudite study examines questions of religious tolerance as they appear in the Qur'an and in the prophetic tradition, and analyses the principle that Islam is exalted above all religions, discussing the ways in which this principle was reflected in various legal pronouncements. The book also considers the various interpretations of the Qur'anic verse according to which 'No compulsion is there in religion ', noting that, despite the apparent meaning of this verse, Islamic law allowed religious coercion to be practiced against Manichaeans and Arab idolaters. Original and erudite study of interfaith relations in medieval Islam The scholarly antidote to some of the more facile generalisations in adjacent literature Appeal to historians of Islam and religion, as well as to scholars of Islamic law

La obra pretende llenar el vacío existente en el conocimiento de los inicios de la Compañía de Jesús en la Ciudad Condal durante los siglos XVI y XVII y nos muestra cómo entró la Compañía en Barcelona, cómo se fue asentando, dónde se estableció, qué dificultades y ayudas encontró, cómo su presencia se fue haciendo indispensable en el espacio y en la historia de la ciudad.

En este tomo IV, Meier aborda un nuevo asunto -las enseñanzas del Jesús histórico concernientes a la Ley mosaica y la moral- con el mismo rigor de que hizo gala en los tomos anteriores.Después de corregir conceptos erroneos respecto a la Ley mosaica en tiempos de Jesus, este volumen se ocupa de las enseñanzas de Jesus sobre importantes materias legales como el divorcio, los juramentos, el sabado, las leyes de pureza y los diversos mandamientos de amor contenidos en los Evangelios. Lo que resulta de la investigacion de Meier es el perfil de un complicado judio palestino del siglo primero, que, lejos de intentar abolir la Ley, entro a fondo en debates concernientes a su observancia. Para Meier, solo teniendo presente esta imagen del Jesus historico tan interesado en cuestiones de la Tora se puede evitar el comun error de construir teologia moral cristiana so capa de estudiar Jesus y la Ley.
