Fremde Vergangenheit: Zur Orientalistik des Göttinger Gelehrten Johann David Michaelis (1717-1791) (Religionswissenschaft #8)
by Maike RauchsteinJohann David Michaelis gehört als Initiator der ersten wissenschaftlichen Expedition in den Orient zu einem wesentlichen Begründer der Orientalistik in Deutschland - auch wenn seine Verdienste um die Disziplin heute mit Verweis auf die Illegitimität seines bibelphilologischen Programms umstritten sind. Maike Rauchsteins Analyse des Kulturkontakts zwischen Deutschland und dem Orient im 18. Jahrhundert und seine Rezeption durch die orientalistische Geschichtsschreibung der Gegenwart legt das politische Potenzial der frühen Orientalistik offen und zeichnet den historischen Wandel des Selbstverständnisses des Fachs nach.
Fremdheitserfahrungen und Othering: Ordnungen des »Eigenen« und »Fremden« in interreligiöser Bildung (Religionswissenschaft #29)
by Janosch FreudingInterreligiöse Bildung versteht sich als Beitrag zum friedlichen Zusammenleben der Religionen und Weltanschauungen. Doch auch in interreligiösen Lernvorgängen und Bildungsansätzen sind immer wieder ausgrenzende Mechanismen des Othering, des »Fremdmachens«, zu beobachten. Zugleich zeigt sich, dass verschiedene religionspädagogische Ansätze von unterschiedlichen Zugängen zum Thema Fremdheit ausgehen: Während die einen Fremdheitserfahrungen und individuelle religiöse Positionierungen ins Zentrum stellen, versuchen andere, »Fremdheit« zu dekonstruieren. Janosch Freuding zeigt Möglichkeiten auf, diese unterschiedlichen Auffassungen aufeinander zu beziehen und wirkungsvoll gegen Othering-Strukturen in interreligiöser Bildung vorzugehen.
Fremdkontrolle: Ängste - Mythen - Praktiken
by Michael Schetsche Renate-Berenike SchmidtIm Zentrum des Menschenbildes westlicher Gesellschaften steht die Idee des selbstbestimmt entscheidenden und handelnden Individuums. Entsprechend ist die Vorstellung eines Menschen ohne freien Willen Teil eines anthropologischen, aber auch moralischen und politischen Gegenhorizontes. Wie sehr die Vorstellung einer Bewusstseinskontrolle von Außen uns in den Bann zieht (den der Furcht wie den der Faszination), zeigen Romane und Filme ebenso wie wissenschaftliche und philosophische Debatten. Manche Vorstellungen entspringen eher irrationalen Ängsten, andere entstammen einer schwer zu erhellenden Zwischenwelt, in der sich reale wissenschaftliche Experimente mit Verschwörungstheorien und modernen Mythen mischen.

French Catholicism: Church, State and Society in a Changing Era
by S. Tippett-SpirtouThe book presents authoritative and comprehensive analysis of the role of the Catholic church in France over 50 years of social, political and theological change. The impact of social secularization, of the changing role of women, attitudes to sexuality, of dramatic political change - from Algeria, the 1960s, the Mitterand era and the rise of Le Pen - and of battles over education are presented in historical context. The church's responses to challenges to its authority, its teachings and structural resources are analysed. The conclusion asks 'Wither the Catholic Church?' in modern France.
French Missionaries in Acadia/Nova Scotia, 1654-1755: On a Risky Edge (Christianities in the Trans-Atlantic World)
by Matteo BinascoThis book investigates and assesses how and to what extent the French Catholic missionaries carried out their evangelical activity amid the natives of Acadia/Nova Scotia from the mid-seventeenth century until 1755, the year of the Great Deportation of the Acadians. It provides a new understanding of the role played by the French missionaries in the most peripheral and less populated area of Canada during the colonial period. The decision to focus on this period is dictated by the need to investigate how and to which extent the French missionaries sought to carry out their activity within a contested territory which was exposed to the pressures coming out of both French and British imperial interests.
French Muslims in Perspective: Nationalism, Post-Colonialism and Marginalisation under the Republic
by Joseph DowningWith the largest Muslim population in Western Europe, France has faced a number of critiques in its attempts to assimilate Muslims into an ostensibly secular (but predominantly Catholic) state and society. This book challenges traditional analyses that emphasise the conflict between Muslims and the French state and broader French society, by exploring the intersection of Muslim faith with other identities, as well as the central roles of Muslims in French civil society, politics and the media. The tensions created by attacks on French soil by Islamic State have contributed to growing acceptance of the Islamophobic discourse of Marine Le Pen and her far-right Front National party, and debates about issues such as headscarves and burkinis have garnered worldwide attention. Downing addresses these issues from a new angle, eschewing the traditional us-and-them narrative and offering a more nuanced account based on people’s actual lived experiences. French Muslims in Perspective will be of interest to students and scholars across sociology, politics, international relations, cultural studies, European Studies and French studies, as well as policy makers and practitioners involved in immigration, education, and media.
French Populism and Discourses on Secularism (Critiquing Religion: Discourse, Culture, Power)
by Per-Erik NilssonPer-Erik Nilsson takes a religious studies approach to analyse the intersections of secularism, nationhood and populism in contemporary France. This book provides insight into the French and European radical-nationalist ideology and activism, and contributes to our understanding of the complex relationship between religion and the state in contemporary Europe and beyond. When Marine Le Pen became the leader of the radical nationalist and Populist Party Front National in 2011, she made clear that secularism was a core value of party. This signalled a significant shift in the party's rhetorical strategies and previous reluctance to embrace secularism. Nilsson argues that this conspicuous appropriation first came about as a logical result of the obsession of the established main-stream political parties and news media with questions of secularism, national identity and Islam. He shows that a key player in understanding the National Front's change is the web-based journal Riposte Laïque, which has become a central actor in French radical-nationalist and anti-Muslim web and street based activism. For the first time, this source is examined in order to understand French radical nationalists' recent appropriation of secularism, as well as debates on secularism, national identity and Islam in France more broadly.

French Protestantism and the French Revolution: Church and State, Thought and Religion, 1685-1815
by Burdette Crawford PolandA study of the Calvinist minority in France, from the time of Louis XIV to the Napoleonic era, with the main emphasis on the period of the French Revolution. Mr. Poland traces the influence and political behavior of the French Protestants, their attitudes toward the Catholic Church the religious revival of the famed "Church of the Desert," and the effect of the Revolution on Protestant belief and behavior. Contrary to usual opinion, he reveals that the Protestants were found in almost every political camp, that they were Frenchmen first and churchmen second, and that they were not a conspiracy against the altar and throne of France.Originally published in 1957.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.

by Bryan A. Banks and Erica JohnsonThis volume examines the French Revolution’s relationship with and impact on religious communities and religion in a transnational perspective. It challenges the traditional secular narrative of the French Revolution, exploring religious experience and representation during the Revolution, as well as the religious legacies that spanned from the eighteenth century to the present. Contributors explore the myriad ways that individuals, communities, and nation-states reshaped religion in France, Europe, the Atlantic Ocean, and around the world.
Frequently-Asked Questions in Christian Theology
by William H. HarrisonThere are some occupations which tend to be real conversation-killers," writes William Harrison. "Being a theologian is not one of them: the moment that I mention my work, I get tossed a great many difficult questions. I have opted to put all of this material into a book. This is a book for people who live in today's busy society, but want to enter into the rich world of Christian theology." The debate between the disciples of God and Richard Dawkins tends to assume a level of basic theological information which many people lack. Here are the answers to all those questions that people really do ask, about God, and evil, and the Bible and the Church. The conversational format is deliberately accessible; it is theology for the general reader. "This book is not the last word on anything", writes the author: "I hope only that it is the starting word on some very important things for some interested people.

Freud on Religion (Key Thinkers in the Study of Religion)
by Marsha Aileen HewittFreud argued that religions originate in the unconscious needs, longings and fantasies of human minds. His work has served to highlight how any analysis of religion must explore mental life, both the cognitive and the unconscious.

The book brings together contemporary psychoanalytic theory and case material from Freud's clinical practice to illustrate how the operations of the unconscious mind support various forms of religious belief, from mainstream to occult. 'Freud on Religion' offers a new way of understanding Freud's thinking and demonstrates how valuable psychoanalysis is for the study of religion.

Freud's India: Sigmund Freud and India's First Psychoanalyst Girindrasekhar Bose
by Alf HiltebeitelThe sharp contrast between cultures with a monotheistic paternal deity and those with pluralistic maternal deities is a theme of abiding interest in religious studies. Attempts to understand the implications of these two vast organizing principles for religious life lead to an overwhelmingly diverse set of facts and their meanings. In Freud's India, the companion volume to Freud's Mahs-- Sigmund Freud and Girindrasekhar Bose. Hiltebeitel examines the attempts of these two men to communicate with and understand each other and these issues in the heated context of emotionally divisive allegiances. The book is elegant in its nuanced attention to these two thinkers and its tightly controlled exploration of what their interactions reveal about their contributions and limitations as representatives of the psychology and religion of their respective cultures. Anxieties about mothers, says Hiltebeitel, separate Eastern from Western imaginations. They separate Freud from Bose, and they separate Hindu foundational texts from the foundational texts of Judaism.

The Friars: The Impact of the Mendicant Orders on Medieval Society (The\medieval World Ser.)
by C.H. LawrenceThe mendicant friars of the Franciscan and Dominican orders played a unique and important role in medieval society. In the early thirteenth century, the Church was being challenged by a confident new secular culture, associated with the growth of towns, the rise of literature and articulate laity, the development of new sciences and the creation of the first universities. The orders of mendicant friars which developed around the charismatic figures of Saint Francis of Assisi (founder of the Franciscan movement) and Saint Dominic of Osma (founder of the Dominican movement) provided a strikingly new response to this challenge. These orders embodied a revolutionary concept: preachers going out into the world to reclaim it for God rather than retiring from the world into enclosed monasteries to do His work. C.H. Lawrence uncovers the spiritual roots of the mendicants in the evangelical movements of the twelfth century, and in the ideas of apostolic life which shaped the religious experience of their founders. Yet, while fully acknowledging the creative dynamism of Saint Francis and Saint Dominic, he shows how much the movement also owed to the popes. It was their steady protection and patronage that turned the armies of 'holy beggars' into a well-trained force of preachers and confessors, working alongside the secular clergy – those who had not joined a religious order. Lawrence explores the friars' mission to the towns – but shows too how quickly their influence developed beyond that. In an astonishingly short time, the friars were commanding the intellectual heights in education and had also become omnipresent counsellors at the court of kings. They also provided many services to the papacy – as inquisitors, nuncios and ambassadors to the Mongolians rulers of Cathay. The origins, growth and most importantly the impact of the mendicant movements upon the medieval world are the subject of this book. Lawrence shows that it was the mendicants' ministry above all else that, in meeting the spiritual and intellectual demands of the new age, preserved the loyalty of the great majority of western Christians to the established Church.
