Beskrivning
This volume focuses on the various phenomena of religious encounters in a transcultural society where religion or religious traditions play a significant role in a multi-cultural concept. Religious Encounters in Transcultural Society is divided into three parts: Islamic encounters with regional religions, East Asian religious encounters, and alternative religious encounters. This book evokes the fact that religious encounters exist in every transcultural society even though they often remain hidden behind socio-cultural issues. The situation can be changed, but one culture cannot harmoniously and always contain two or multi-beliefs. The issue of religious encounters mostly arises in the transnational process of religious globalization.

Recensioner i media

Thematically divided into three parts dealing with Islamic, East Asian, and alternative religious encounters, this fine collection of twelve essays examines various historical and contemporary outcomes of religious encounters across the globe. By including multiple religious traditions, cultural settings, and periods, this volume helps to shed light to the different ways religious adherents have responded to interreligious contact and exchange by means of contestation, adaptation, or alteration. Thus, its specifically broad scope will catch readers' attention and will make it an important contribution for area specialists and students of religion, globalization, and processes of transculturation alike.
