The authors explain how and why we must understand the conditions that spur youths to become martyrs by making them think suicide bombings and other acts of self-destructive terrorism are a good way to die. LoCicero and Sinclair present cutting-edge research and theory about the political, social, and living conditions that raise the risk of children deciding to join organizations that use terrorist tactics, and, having joined, to volunteer for missions in which they intentionally die while causing death and destruction, in order to make an impact. Equally important, LoCicero and Sinclair...

Das Monchtum undder Aufbau der Welt der Kloster gehoren zum gemeinsamen Erbe von Ost- und Westkirche seit der Spatantike. Monastische Kultur ubt auch in der Gegenwart eine starke Faszination aus - sei es als das Andere einer fern gewordenen Welt, sei es als Teil der eigenen Welt.

So wie auf einer vorangehenden interdisziplinaren Tagung in Vladimir und Suzdal' zu monastischer Kultur als transkonfessionellem Phanomen begegnen sich in diesem Band die beiden Forschungsdiskurse mit...

Winner of the Karachi Literary Festival Peace Prize 2015, The Ahmadis and the Politics of Religious Exclusion in Pakistan traces the history of the political exclusion of the Ahmadiyya religious minority in Pakistan by drawing on revealing new sources. The Ahmadis believe Mirza Ghulam Ahmad of Qadiyan (1835 1908) was a prophet (in a nuanced understanding of this term) and promised messiah. This led to the group s condemnation as infidels during the colonial period, setting in course a painful history of religious exclusion.

Part I of this volume traces the development of the...

Has a Christian Holocaust Begun?

A Christian genocide at the hands of Islamic extremists is unfolding in the Middle East. Entire Christian populations have been eliminated, and the ultimate aim of ISIS is to eradicate the world of Christianity.

They are well on their way. Thousands of Christians arrive in refugee camps daily as tents can be seen for miles across the countryside of Jordan, N. Iraq and Lebanon.

Churches have been demolished, crosses burned and replaced with ISIS flags, homes destroyed, entire communities displaced, religious conversions...

Christentum, Judentum und Islam gehen gemeinsam davon aus, dass Gott sich aus der Unverfugbarkeit seiner Transzendenz heraus den Menschen selbst verfugbar gemacht hat. Das gottliche Wesen und sein Wille werden in den heiligen Schriften erkennbar ― aber auf eine Weise, die ein weitergehendes Wissen daruber erforderlich macht, wie diese Schriften fur den Alltag handlungsleitend werden sollen: Solches "religioses Wissen" ist wesentlich verfasst als reflexives und praktisches Wissen darum, wie der Mensch Gott zur Verfugung zu stehen hat.
Umgekehrt geht es den institutionellen...

Religious persecution is on the rise. Daily news stories and social science research chronicle the suffering of Christians and those of other faiths at the hands of both governments and private citizens. Yet, with few exceptions, the North American church has been largely absent from serious action that addresses this global problem. The Church and Religious Persecution examines the nature and scope of religious persecution worldwide, explores the response of the church, and proposes steps church leaders and members can take to stand up for religious freedom and build a faith-based...
