Beskrivning
This first volume of the series “Dynamics in the History of Religions” reviews the opening conference of the "Käte Hamburger Kolleg” at the Ruhr-University Bochum. The first section concentrates on the formation of what later come to be termed "world religions" through inter-religious contact, the second part focuses on the significance of interreligious contacts also during their expansive phase. Methodological problems of multi-perspective research and especially the lack of a general religious terminology are discussed in the third chapter, while the final papers outline various aspects of secularization and (re-)sacralisation in the age of globalisation as an effect of multicultural contacts in a world wide web of religious interferences.Contributors include: Marion Steinicke, Volkhard Krech, Peter Wick, Victor H.

Recensioner i media

"[..] the theoretical part of this book [..] can be thought provoking [for] both scholars of religion and those with a more general interest in contextual comparative studies [..] [T]he empirical chapters of this book should not be neglected. The wide range of approaches, themes and geographical areas covered make an engaging read for area scholars as well as anthropologists, ensuring a diverse and inspiring read." - Carolina Ivanescu, independent scholar, in: Comparative Sociology 14 (2015), 715–719
