Beskrivning

The post-Reformation era has witnessed a vastly changing landscape in Indonesian Islam, particularly with the emergence of conservative Muslim voices. This book explores several strategies of Christian resistance against the resurgence of conservative voices in Indonesian Islam to establish a coherent view of Christian responses and a greater understanding of Christian-Muslim relations after the Reformation in 1998. These different strategies demonstrate that, despite their status as a religious minority, Indonesian Christians are far from passive and submissive. Instead, they actively negotiate their identity and role in contemporary Indonesia's shifting political and social context to cultivate a sense of belonging.

Recensioner i media

In this carefully researched and engagingly written book, Hans A. Harmakaputra examines the dynamics of Christian Muslim relations in Indonesia since the country’s return to democracy in 1998-1999. He brings rich empirical research and subtle theoretical sophistication to the challenge of pluralist citizenship in this vast and beautiful Asian country. The result is one of the finest books in years on inter-religious relations in Indonesia. This book should be read by scholars and the general reader interested in the challenge of living together in a deeply plural world.
