The Freedom to do God's Will: Religious Fundamentalism and Social Change de James Busuttil

The Freedom to do God's Will: Religious Fundamentalism and Social Change

Editat de James Busuttil, Gerrie ter Haar
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 5 sep 2002
Under the auspices of top international commentators, The Freedom to do God's Will considers the global impact of fundamentalism on religious traditions including Hinduism, Buddhism, Mormonism, Christianity, Judaism and Islam. With special reference to human rights issues, women's rights and the influence of social factors, it brings a new dimension to a field of study often dominated by purely religious or political perspectives, whilst challenging received ideas about the violence and conservatism of fundamentalist movements. Illustrated with original case studies, the ten investigative essays from a multicultural panel of experts, each with specific local and academic knowledge of the faiths and issues they discuss, offer an intimate and highly specific portrait of why and how fundamentalism occurs.

Recenzii

'This is a very interesting collection, which invites the reader to revise all existing assumptions about the origins, basis and nature of Fundamentalism.' - Reviews in Religion and Theology

'This book comes as a timely reminder that there is more to 'fundamentalism' than al-Qa'ida ... a volume that marries in-depth area expertise with conceptual richness.' - International Affairs

'The book offers a fascinating glimpse into the interaction of religious fundamentalists with their own cultural traditions and into the resulting differences in the way they deal with human rights issues and women's rights ... this is a book which is relevant not only to scholars of religion and religious fundamentalism.' - Journal of Contemporary Religion'
'The volume attains its aspired aim to reach a broad public including both academics and non-academics.'- Numen
