Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book examines interreligious dialogue from a European perspective. It features detailed case studies analysed from different disciplinary perspectives. These studies consider such activities as face-to-face discussion groups, public meetings, civic consultations with members of faith groups, and community action projects that bring together people from different faiths. Overall, the work reports on five years of qualitative empirical research gathered from different urban sites across four Europeancities (Hamburg, London, Stockholm, Oslo).It includes a comparative element which connects distinctive German, Scandinavian, and English experiences of the shared challenge of religious plurality.The contributors look at the issue through social, material, and ideological dimensions. They explore the following questions: Is interreligiousdialoguethe producer or product of social capital What and how are different meanings produced and contestedin places of interreligious activity What is the function of religious thinking in different forms of interreligious activity Their answers present a detailed analysis of the variety of practices on the ground. A firm empirical foundation supports their conclusions.Readers will learn about the changing nature of urban life through increasing pluralisation and the importance of interreligious relations in the current socio-political context. They will also gain a better understandingofthe conditions, processes, function, and impact of interreligious engagement in community relations, public policy, urban planning, and practical theology.
