Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
The Encyclopedia of Religion and War provides authoritative information about the history of religious wars and violence around the world and across cultures. It does not examine religious teachings on love, -compassion, or benevolent service. Instead, it provides authoritative -historical and cross-cultural information that will help readers understand war and other forms of political violence in the major religions of the world. Editor Gabriel Palmer-Fernandez is the director of the Dr. James Dale Ethics Center at Youngstown State University in Ohio. "Exploring the complex relationship between war and religion, this substantial volume offers more than 130 alphabetically -arranged entries that discuss major religions, cultures, groups, and events, and attitudes toward killing human beings. These -articles, contributed by international scholars, present the historical perspective of changing proscriptions against and sanctioned reasons for war throughout a religion's or culture's development and current teachings. Some entries describe major social revolts, wars, or persecutions. The religious elements tied to these movements are revealed in the discussions. Pacifistic groups such as Anabaptists, Quakers, Babí or Baha'i adherents, and Mennonites also take their places among the articles. . . . This volume is a comprehensive resource for historical and current views of many significant religions in Europe, Asia, North and South America, and Africa." -School Library Journal
For God's Sake
Author: Antony LoewensteinPublisher: Macmillan Publishers Aus.
ISBN: 1743289138
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 359
Book Description
Four Australian thinkers come together to ask and answer the big questions, such as: What is the nature of the universe? Doesn't religion cause most of the conflict in the world? and Where do we find hope? We are introduced to the detail of different belief systems - Judaism, Christianity, Islam - and to the argument that atheism, like organised religion, has its own compelling logic. And we gain insight into the life events that led each author to their current position. Jane Caro flirted briefly with spiritual belief, inspired by 19th century literary heroines such as Elizabeth Gaskell and the Brontë sisters. Antony Lowenstein is proudly culturally, yet unconventionally, Jewish. Simon Smart is firmly and resolutely a Christian, but one who has had some of his most profound spiritual moments while surfing. Rachel Woodlock grew up in the alternative embrace of Baha'i belief but became entranced by its older parent religion, Islam. Provocative, informative and passionately argued, For God's Sake encourages us to accept religious differences but to also challenge more vigorously the beliefs that create discord.
Religion and the Cold War
Author: D. KirbyPublisher: Springer
ISBN: 1403919577
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 259
Book Description
Although seen widely as the twentieth-century's great religious war, as a conflict between the god-fearing and the godless, the religious dimension of the Cold War has never been subjected to a scholarly critique. This unique study shows why religion is a key Cold War variable. A specially commissioned collection of new scholarship, it provides fresh insights into the complex nature of the Cold War. It has profound resonance today with the resurgence of religion as a political force in global society.
The Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World Order
Author: Samuel P. HuntingtonPublisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1416561242
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 555
Book Description
The classic study of post-Cold War international relations, more relevant than ever in today’s geopolitical climate—with a foreword by Zbigniew Brzezinski. Since its initial publication in 1996, The Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World Order has become one of the most influential books ever written about foreign affairs. Samuel Huntington explains how clashes between civilizations pose the greatest threat to world peace, but also how an international order based on civilizations is the best safeguard against war. The Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World Order explains how the population explosion in Muslim countries and the economic rise of East Asia have changed global politics. These developments challenge Western dominance, promote opposition to supposedly “universal” Western ideals, and intensify inter-civilization conflict over such issues as nuclear proliferation, immigration, human rights, and democracy. In his incisive analysis, Huntington offers a strategy for the West to preserve its unique culture and emphasizes the need for people everywhere to learn to coexist in a complex, multipolar, multi-civilizational world.
A Nation for All
Author: Chris KorzenPublisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 1118486374
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 181
Book Description
On the eve of the most important presidential election in decades, A NATION FOR ALL sounds the trumpet to the tens of millions of U.S. Catholics who have refused to buy the notion that people of faith must subscribe to the narrow agenda of the far right. By shining the light of authentic Catholic teaching on pressing contemporary concerns like war, human dignity, poverty, and the looming global climate crisis, this book shows Catholics how their own faith tradition calls them to tackle a sweeping array of issues commonly left out of the faith and politics dialog. Most important, A NATION FOR ALL demonstrates how the core Catholic and Christian belief in promoting the common good can provide Americans of all faith traditions with a much-needed solution to the downward spiral of greed, materialism, and excessive individualism.
