Religions in Dialogue : From Theocracy to Democracy EPUB
Edited by alan Race, Ingrid Shafer
Part of the Routledge Revivals series
EPUB
Description
This title was first published in 2002. Judaism, Christianity and Islam, as Abrahamic religions, share much theological common ground and the momentum for dialogue between them at theological levels has greatly increased in recent decades.
This book explores the relationship between religion and the modern democratic state from the perspective of these three monotheistic traditions.
It investigates how the three religions in dialogue might overcome their historic antagonism as a prelude to working for the development of the global common good.
As part of the test of religious ideals, some of the contributions bring theory down to earth by examining the role of religion in three democratic states with different histories - Turkey, Indonesia, India - and also in relation to a culture of human rights.
Drawing together leading Muslim, Christian, and Jewish authors from America, Europe and Asia, the book presents a rare collaboration of faiths and ideas to make a contribution to studies of inter-religious dialogue and the changing role of religion in the democratic state.
