The Reformation was essentially a religious renewal of Christianity in Europe. As such, it has contributed decisively, along with the Renaissance and humanism, to the formation of a secular modernity. What exactly was this contribution and how is it to be assessed? Have Reformation movements destroyed the traditional unity of the church and the state, of society and culture, and in so doing instigated the marginalisation of Christianity in Europe? Or have they brought central impulses of Christianity to the fore, without which Western modernity could not developed, and which also characterise a society that understands itself as secular in a plural late modern era? The present volume attempts to shed light on these controversial questions. Criticisms levelled at reformed traditions by the secular modernism standpoint as well as those aimed at European modernity and late-modernity from the camp of reformed thinking are also given a voice.

This open access book investigates the transnationally connected history of Arab Christian communities in Palestine during the British Mandate (1918-1948) through the lens of the birth of cultural diplomacy. Relying predominantly on unpublished sources, it examines the relationship between European cultural agendas and local identity formation processes and discusses the social and religious transformations of Arab Christian communities in Palestine via cultural lenses from an entangled perspective. The 17 chapters reflect diverse research interests, from case studies of individual archives to chapters that question the concept of cultural diplomacy more generally. They illustrate the diversity of scholarship that enables a broad-based view of how cultural diplomacy functioned during the interwar period, but also the ways in which its meanings have changed. The book considers British Mandate Palestine as an internationalised node within a transnational framework to understand how the complexity of cultural interactions and agencies engaged to produce new modes of modernity. Karène Sanchez Summerer is Associate Professor at Leiden University, The Netherlands. Her research considers the European linguistic and cultural policies and the Arab communities (1860-1948) in Palestine. She is the PI of the research project (2017-2022), ‘CrossRoads: European Cultural Diplomacy and Arab Christians in Palestine (1918-1948)’ (project funded by The Netherlands National Research Agency, NWO). She is the co-editor of the series ‘Languages and Culture in History’ with W. Frijhoff, Amsterdam University Press. She is part of the College of Experts: ESF European Science Foundation (2018-2021). Sary Zananiri is an artist and cultural historian.He is currently a Postdoctoral Fellow on the NWO funded project 'CrossRoads: European Cultural Diplomacy and Arab Christians in Palestine (1918-1948)' at Leiden University, The Netherlands.

What role does religion play at the end of life in Japan? Spiritual Ends draws on ethnographic fieldwork and interviews with hospice patients, chaplains, and medical workers to provide an intimate portrayal of how spiritual care is provided to the dying in Japan. Timothy O. Benedict uses both local and cross-cultural perspectives to show how global conversations on concepts like spirituality and the practice of spiritual care are being appropriated and reinterpreted in Japanese contexts. Benedict relates these findings to a longer story of how Japanese religious groups have pursued vocational roles in medical institutions as a means to demonstrate a so-called "healthy" role in society. By paying attention to how care for the kokoro (heart or mind) is key to the practice of spiritual care, this book enriches conventional understandings of religious identity in Japan, while offering a valuable East Asian perspective to global conversations on the ways religion, spirituality, and medicine intersect at death.

(Trans)missions: Monasteries as Sites of Cultural Transfers focuses on the Catholic tradition of consecrated life (vita religiosa) from the High Middle Ages to the present. It gathers papers by authors from various disciplinary backgrounds, in particular art history, history, anthropology and translation studies. Finally, it includes two short reports on Czech projects on monastic topics. The chronological and geographical scope of the book is focused on the Western tradition from the High Middle Ages up to the present, specifically in the territory of Central Europe and Spain along with its overseas colonies. The region of Central Europe was interconnected with the Spanish Empire through the Austrian and Spanish Habsburgs, allowing the given topic to be studied in a broader international context, and to involve the Central European and Spanish territories in the global flow of information, thus incorporating the regional and national histories of individual European countries into global history. This involvement is also enabled by the study of interconnecting themes, such as cultural transfers within and between the Old and the New World, information flows between the Spanish and Austrian Habsburgs, the processes of individual and social identity formation, representation and othering of women, and the missionary activities of mendicant orders in the New World, together with their translation practices; and by the contextualization of monastic history and related themes within the processes of European internal and external colonization and evangelization.

The articles included in this Yearbook of the Sociology of Islam are focused on two perspectives: Some link the comparative analysis of Islam to ongoing debates on the Axial Age and its role in the formation of major civilizational complexes, while others are more concerned with the historical constellations and sources involved in the formation of Islam as a religion and a civilization. More than any other particular line of inquiry, new historical and sociological approaches to the Axial Age revived the idea of comparative civilizational analysis and channeled it into more specific projects. A closer look at the very problematic place of Islam in this context will help to clarify questions about the Axial version of civilizational theory as well as issues in Islamic studies and sociological approaches to modern Islam. Contributors among others: Said Arjomand, Shmuel N. Eisenstadt, Josef van Ess and Raif G. Khoury. »[Es] ist zu vermerken, dass vergleichende historische Zivilisationsforschung, aufgrund der Spezialisierung der jeweiligen Fachgebiete, nicht gerade ein überrepräsentiertes Terrain darstellt. Allein deshalb beinhaltet dieser Band jede Menge neue Denkanstöße und interessante Blickwinkel für an der Materie Interessierte.« Philipp Bruckmayr, DAVO Nachrichten, 7 (2008) »Auch das 7. Jahrbuch für die Soziologie des Islams vereinigt Beiträge von Autoren, die sich von sehr unterschiedlichen Ausgangspunkten ausgehend in eine aktuelle Debatte einmischen. Je nach dem theoretischen und wissenschaftlich-praktischen Standpunkt wird der Leser die Beiträge mit unterschiedlicher Zustimmung, aber stets mit Interesse lesen.« Peter Heine, Anthropos, 103/1 (2008) »Diejenigen, die sich auf eine genaue Lektüre einlassen, werden je nach Interesse in unterschiedlichem Umfang Anregungen und Anstöße aus diesem Band mitnehmen können, besonders was die frühe Zeit des Islam betrifft.« Astrid Meier, www.geschichte-transnational/clio-online.net, 15.02.2008

Die Erzählung vom Auszug aus Ägypten gehört zu den zentralen und für die kollektive Identität Israels grundlegenden Überlieferungen, die sich im Buch Exodus verdichten, aber auch die gesamte alttestamentliche Literatur durchziehen. Bis heute sind die Überlieferungen in Judentum und Christentum sowohl in der Theologie als auch in der Liturgie von entscheidender Bedeutung. In hellenistisch-römischer Zeit erlebt die Exodusüberlieferung eine ›Renaissance‹ und prägt als Denkfigur die zeitgenössische Literatur in intensiver Weise. Ihre Rezeption erfolgt dabei in verschiedenen Gattungen, in ganz unterschiedlicher Form und zu höchst unterschiedlichen Zwecken. Während bisher in Studien einzelne Aspekte dieser Rezeption betrachtet wurden, ist die Rezeption noch nicht in ihrer Gesamtheit im Hinblick auf ihre Konzeption und ihren Überlieferungsprozess untersucht worden. Dieses Forschungsdesiderat nimmt der Band auf, indem er eine Zusammenstellung der vielfältigen Exodusrezeption in frühjüdischer Literatur bietet. Dabei umfasst der von Barbara Schmitz und Judith Gärtner herausgegebene Sammelband Beiträge zur Exodusmotivik in der alttestamentlichen und neutestamentlichen Schriften, in der deuterokanonischen und apokalyptischen Literatur sowie bei Philo, Josephus und in Qumran.

À l'occasion du départ à la retraite d'Hervé Hasquin, le Groupe d’Étude du XVIIIe siècle rend hommage à ce grand professeur, en republiant ses principaux articles relatifs au siècle des Lumières ainsi qu’un inédit, consacré au combat de quelques auteurs jésuites contre les Lumières et la Révolution. Professeur à l'Université libre de Bruxelles et éminent dix-huitièmiste, fondateur en 1974, avec Roland Mortier, du Groupe d'Étude du XVIIIe siècle et de la présente revue, Hervé Hasquin a marqué de son empreinte près de quatre décennies d’étude du XVIIIe siècle belge et européen. Au siècle des Lumières, de vifs débats opposèrent penseurs et « économistes », notamment physiocrates, sur la réalité d’un déclin démographique souvent présenté comme un fait acquis. Quelques esprits audacieux, comme Voltaire ou l’abbé Jean-Joseph Expilly, ont cependant mis en doute cette vulgate et cherché, dans le cadre du despotisme éclairé, les moyens d’assurer une croissance régulière et maîtrisée de la population. Ces débats, et leurs développements, notamment la promotion de la « moyenne culture », font l’objet de la première partie de ce volume. Le XVIIIe siècle a vu la naissance de la pensée libérale en économie. À travers les quatre chapitres suivants, Hervé Hasquin s’attache à mesurer le poids de structures traditionnelles encore bien présentes – interventionnisme, dîme ecclésiastique – dans le contexte économique parfois difficile qu’ont connu les Pays-Bas autrichiens. Il analyse également – à travers le cas du journaliste français Jacques Accarias de Serionne, qui mit sa plume au service du gouvernement – le pragmatisme des autorités bruxelloises, qui rejetaient mercantilisme comme physiocratie, leur préférant une politique de « libéralisme éclectique ». La question religieuse fut également au cœur de toutes les réflexions du siècle, et Hervé Hasquin y a naturellement consacré de nombreux écrits. Ceux republiés ici traitent notamment de la question centrale de la tolérance, et de celle du mariage des protestants – institué en contrat civil par l’édit de Joseph II du 28 septembre 1784, lequel prévoyait également le divorce –, des réalités de la religion populaire – à travers un cas d’exorcisme à Saint-Hubert – ou encore de cette « passion de l’universel » qui rapprocha certains savants des idéaux de la Révolution française. Une biographie intellectuelle d’Hervé Hasquin, composée par deux de ses anciens élèves et collaborateurs, introduit l’ouvrage, tandis qu’une bibliographie exhaustive de ses travaux scientifiques témoigne pleinement de l’étendue de ses divers centres d’intérêt.
