Claiming History in Religious Conflicts

Mehrsprachige Ausgabe

Herausgegeben: Brändli, Adrian; Heyden, Katharina

Beschreibung

In what way did or does the past lend credence to religion and how did or does the formation of and departure from tradition affect claims to religious truth? How does historical reasoning contribute towards the unravelling of religious conflicts and what role does history play in concrete peace building processes? The contributions to this volume tackle these questions. Collectively, they take a decidedly multidisciplinary and diachronic perspective, throwing light upon an important subject with significant contemporary reverberations.
