"On peut tuer au nom de Dieu! Nous l'avons récemment redécouvert, par des actes de terrorisme et de nouvelles guerres de Religion, en France et ailleurs. Dans le monde occidental aujourd'hui, beaucoup pensent que les croyants devraient renoncer à leur revendication de vérité. L'exclusivisme, selon lequel une seule religion est vraie, n'entraînerait-il pas inévitablement l'intolérance religieuse, rendant la cohabitation impossible? Mais ce pluralisme et ce relativisme, si présents dans l'exigence de laïcité, sont-ils pertinents au regard de ce que sont les croyances religieuses? Cette question, si vive, de notre vie sociale est abordée par une réflexion sur les croyances religieuses, la vérité, la tolérance et la question de savoir si nous avons tous le même Dieu. Ce livre défend un exclusivisme de la vérité religieuse qui ne mènerait pas à dresser les incroyants contre les croyants et les religions les unes contre les autres."--

Utilizing a "crusading ethos," from 772-804 AD, Charlemagne, King of the Franks, waged war against the continental Saxons to integrate them within the growing Frankish empire and facilitate their conversion to Christianity. While substantial research has been produced concerning various components of Carolingian history, this work offers a unique examination of Charlemagne's Saxon Wars as a case study for understanding methods of conversion used in the Christianization of Europe, as well as their significance for subsequent conversion strategies employed around the globe. Converting the Saxons builds on prior scholarly research, is grounded in primary sources, and contextualized with a robust historical introduction. Throughout the text particular emphasis is given to Christian encounters with paganism and the way paganism was interpreted, confronted, and transformed. Within those encounters we observe myriad forces of coercion and incentivization used in societal religious conversion, demonstrating the need for a serious reconsideration of the standard narratives surrounding Christian missions. This book provides a scholarly and accessible resource for students and researchers interested in transhistorical methods of conversion, the history of Christianity, Early Medieval paganism, colonial religious encounters, and the nature of religious conversion. --

"For centuries, since the Roman Empire's adoption of Christianity, the continent of Europe has been perceived as something of a Christian fortress. Today, the increase in the number of Muslims living in Europe and the prominence of Islamic belief pose questions not only for Europe's religious traditions but also for its constitutional make up. This book examines these challenges within the legal and political framework of Europe. The volume's contributors range from academics at leading universities to former judges and politicians. Its19 chapters focus on constitutional challenges, human rights with a focus on religious freedom, and securitisation and Islamophobia, while adopting supranational and comparative approaches. It explores these contested relationships to open up new spaces in how we think about religious freedom and co-existence in Europe and the crucial role that Islam has had, and continues to have, in its development" --
