Mellemreligiøse relationer

En poetisk og livsbekræftende fortælling om tilværelsens skrøbelighed. Den jødiske smaragdsliber Pierre Levy falder død om med hjertestop, men vender mirakuløst tilbage til livet. Ingenting er som det var, men Pierre genoptager at spille skak med sin barndomsven, den muslimske juveler Youssef, og går i gang med det, som skal blive hans livs mesterværk: slibningen af en usædvanlig stor smaragd. Pierres fredelige verden i sliberiet står i stærk kontrast til hans datters liv. Zara rejser rundt i verden som kunsthistoriker, og under kortlægningen af gamle hulemarier kidnappes hun i grænseegnen mellem Georgien og Aserbajdsjan, mellem kristendom og islam.? Stillet overfor dødens nærvær kæmper både Zara og Pierre for at bevare blikket for skønheden i livet. Anne-cathrine Riebnitzsky Født og opvokset på Fyn, og uddannet fra Forfatterskolen i København.

Denne bog er en dialog med mine læsere, men består først og fremmest af en stor mængde Jesuslære og visdomsord, som folk aldrig har fået lov at høre, takket være kirken. - De ligner en hund, der sover på oksens krybbe, for den hverken æder selv eller tillader oksen at æde. - (Thomasevangeliet) Det er noget frygteligt vås, teologerne kommer med i kirken og alle vegne. De aner ikke, hvad de taler om! Og så disse underlige vaner og ceremoni-er! Sikken et cirkus!! Hele kirken og den anskuelse, som de udbreder, er et verdensomspændende, kæmpe bedrag. Det er som ét stort komplot med det ene formål at skjule sandheden. De leder folk bort fra det sande og ægte og fører dem i stedet ud i noget religiøst, mærkværdigt noget, en slags overtro. Og indirekte tramper de det ægte hellige ned i skidtet. De har erstattet hans lære med deres egne anskuelser, fjernt fra sandheden. Læren om hvad vores indre består af, det er læren om Gud. Men pga. kirken og teologerne er folks opfattelse helt anderledes: De forestiller sig Gud som en mand (evt. med et langt hvidt skæg), der sidder oppe ovenover skyerne et sted og kigger ned gennem et lille hul. En slags politibetjent som har til opgave at gribe ind, når der foregår noget ondt og uretfærdigt!

14 år er gået siden min første bog ´Sandheden som folk ikke måtte høre´ er udkommet, og mange har siden skrevet til mig og jeg har også talt med mange. Den bog blev skrevet som en tænkt dialog med dig som læser. Denne nye bog er en ægte dialog. Denne dialog besvarer en stor del af de spørgsmål, læserne har stillet mig. Desuden indeholder denne bog en stor mængde Jesus-lære, som folk aldrig har hørt. ´Uden kærlighed er ingenting af værdi´. ´Fra deres hjerter, som tror på mig, skal der flyde strømme af vand; og det, som er indgivet i dem, skal de tale med kraft, og deres lære vil være som et livgivende vand.´

Nyhed! De kristne holder hårdnakket fast i deres dogmer. F.eks. dette: - Vi skal ikke holde budene, for dem har Jesus allerede holdt for os! - Disse dogmer har de selv skabt, og de er jo en behagelig sovepude. Men hvad gavner dette vel menneskeheden? Det fælles for alle dogmerne er, at de INTET kræver af dem! De erstattede hans lære med menneskers anskuelse og total åndelig dovenskab. De kristne taler Jesus lodret imod. - Kærlighed er lovens opfyldelse. Kærlighed er af Gud, og Gud er kærlighed. Den, som ikke elsker, kender ikke Gud. - Dette tror de heller ikke på. Derfor har de gennem tiderne skjult en mængde vidunderlige Jesusord, som folk aldrig har fået lov at høre. Find dem her i bøgerne!

Israel and the Nations: The Bible, The Rabbis, and Jewish-Gentile Relations explores the theological and legal (halakhic) aspects of Jewish thought relating to non-Jews.

In this volume, non-state armed groups are considered as independent actors instead of only on state level. Given the increasingly important role of such actors, they are considered not only as military forces; their social, cultural, and economic roles are also inspected. Furthermore, online operations are examined, since online and offline activities are increasing merging. This provides a new look at the violent structures of contemporary societies, allowing us to approach recent global developments beyond securitized and essentialist worldviews.

" As I walked through the wilderness of this world, I lighted on a certain place where was a den, and laid me down in that place to sleep; and as I slept, I dreamed a dream. I dreamed, and behold, I saw a man clothed with rags, standing in a certain place, with his face from his own house, a book in his hand, and a great burden upon his back. I looked, and saw him open the book, and read therein; and as he read, he wept and trembled; and, not being able longer to contain, he brake out with a lamentable cry, saying, "What shall I do?"

The history of the relationships intertwined by the Taizé Community amongst Christians of Eastern European countries in the second half of the last century has not yet been written. Yet it is a fundamental chapter for understanding the unique international irradiation of the community. The encounter with the different faces of a Christian youth beyond the Iron Curtain who in Taizé experienced an European space at once unified, will become in particular one of the main directions of investment of the community from the early 1960s. It is on this story that the contributions of this volume intend to throw a first light, relying on a completely unpublished documentation and on the witnesses of many protagonists involved in the construction of this unique continental and ecumenical network.

This study draws on three original surveys conducted by the authors to understand the religious, social, and political factors that lead evangelical and born-again Christians to support the state of Israel in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Our 'Gospel truths' are largely sourced and redacted from the Hebrew Bible. This book demonstrates how the Passion Narratives have little to do with 'Gospel truth' and how these stories, with their anti-Jewish polemic, hosted the unintended seedbed for the racial anti-Semitism of the nineteenth century, which in turn led to the Holocaust.

This book's central argument is that oral forms of collective memory in Christian-Muslim engagements in orally-oriented societies are more effective than interreligious dialogue through the dominant written text based on elite-based concepts. The approach has dominated interreligious interactions. From the perspective of the social scientific study of interreligious encounters & collective memory in folklore studies, this book explores how orality and social remembrance articulated through folksong, oral narrative, and ritual performance strengthen interreligious engagements in the post-conflict society. The approach proposed in this book reclaims interreligious engagements based on the local Indonesian dynamic preserved in ritual performance, oral narrative, and folksong. This method articulates a contextualized interreligious engagement grounded in local culture.

Humanitarian Islam is an innovative concept that has begun emerging from the traditions of Islam in Indonesia in recent years. The most important contemporary Islamic organizations in Indonesia support it. Nevertheless, it seems to be unknown beyond the Southeast Asian context, despite its global potential, aspirations and claims. Moreover, the concept has not received any academic attention so far. This volume presents reflections on the idea of Humanitarian Islam by Muslim and non-Muslim scholars from Europe and beyond.

This volume presents different approaches to the concept of religion. Religion in modern societies is undergoing accelerated change. Traditional religious forms are dissolving and being overlaid with or replaced by new ones. This poses particular challenges for analyses of the current religious situation, which already presuppose an understanding of religion. But it is precisely this that is disputed in academic discourse about it. Against the background of this complex situation, this volume turns to the transformations of religion. It brings together inter- and transdisciplinary approaches to religion and its definition. In this way, it takes into account the fact that the transformations of religion can only be grasped by incorporating diverse methodological approaches.

Two unprecedented, striking developments form part of the reality of many Latin Americans. Recent decades have seen the dramatic rise of a new religious pluralism, namely the spread of Pentecostal Christianity - Catholic and Protestant alike - and the growth of indigenous revitalization movements. This study analyzes these major transitions, asking what roles ethnicity and ethnic identities play in the contemporary process of religious pluralism, such as the growth of the Protestant Pentecostal and neo-Pentecostal movements, the Catholic Charismatic Renewal, and the indigenous Maya movement in Guatemala. This book aims to provide an understanding of the agenda of religious movements, their motivations, and their impact on society. Such a pursuit is urgently needed in Guatemala, a postwar country experiencing acrimonious religious competition and a highly contentious debate on religious pluralism. This volume is relevant to scholars and students of Latin American Studies, Sociology of Religion, Anthropology, Practical Theology, and Political Sciences.

The second volume of the series "Key Concepts in Interreligious Discourses" points out the roots of the concept of ''human rights'' in Judaism, Christianity and Islam. It shows how far the universal validity of ''human rights'' opposes in some crucial points with religious traditions. The volume demonstrates that new perspectives are introduced to the general discussion about human rights when related to religious traditions. Especially the interreligious viewpoint proves that a new kind of debate about human rights and its history is necessary.
