Religion in the 21st Century

Challenges and Transformations
Herausgeber: Iversen, Hans Raun

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

In spite of the debate about secularization or de-secularization, the existential-bodily need for religion is basically the same as always. What have been changed are the horizons within which religions are interpreted and the relationships within which religions are integrated. This book explores how religions continue to challenge secular democracy and science, and how religions are themselves being challenged by secular values and practices.
