Abstract

When Pakistan was carved out of India in 1947 as a homeland for the Muslims of the subcontinent, it was envisioned as a secular state where non-Muslims would be granted freedom of religion and equal citizenship. However, the subsequent historical events led to a fast Islamization of nearly every part of public life and discrimination against the country's religious minorities, who today make up less than 4 per cent of the overall population. Based on extensive field work involving more than 100 non-structured qualitative interviews, this study explores the situation of the religious minorities and the dynamics of interfaith peacebuilding in the Islamic Republic of Pakistan. Primary focus was laid on the practice of interfaith dialogue, which - given the draconic blasphemy laws - differs from interfaith dialogue as conceived of in the West. Additionally, other peacebuilding measures, as offered by various non-governmental organizations, were taken into account, be they advocacy, promotion of human rights and unbiased education, or policy negotiation with the government.

Abstract

"This book demonstrates that the history of Christianity in the fourth century has been written mainly on the basis of Greek ecclesiastical histories and Syriac martyrdom narratives that date to decades, even centuries, after the fact. By closely analyzing these sources--which often exhibit conflicting religious, political, and hagiographical agendas--an evolving portrait of the first Christian emperor begins to emerge. This portrait of Constantine is useful not for re-constructing the events of the fourth century, but for understanding how the Syriac Christians of Roman Mesopotamia and Sasanian Persia used Constantine and the Christians of the West to fashion multiple political and religious identities over a prolonged period of change"--Provided by publisher.

Abstract

Ausgangspunkt dieses in zweiter Auflage durchgesehenen und ergänzten Bandes ist ein Exkurs im Bellum Iudaicum des hier dem Ambrosius zugeschriebenen sog. Hegesippus über den Wettstreit des Petrus mit Simon Magus in Rom und die sich daran anschließende Christenverfolgung Neros, in der die Apostel Petrus und Paulus das Martyrium erleiden. Die Frage nach den Quellen dieser Episode und deren Historizität führt zu einer Überprüfung der "Schlüsselbeweise" für einen Aufenthalt des Petrus in Rom und der sonstigen literarischen Zeugnisse vom Neuen Testament bis in die Spätantike. Im Vordergrund stehen die apokryphen Apostelakten, der 1. Clemensbrief, Iustinus Martyr, Dionysios von Korinth, Polykarp von Smyrna und die Antihäretiker Hegesippus und Irenäus von Lyon. Die vermeintlich echten Briefe des Ignatius von Antiochien werden in den Rahmen christlicher und heidnischer Pseudepigrapha der Zweiten Sophistik eingeordnet, ihre Entstehungszeit auf das Jahrzehnt 170-180 festgelegt. Ein breites Kapitel ist philologischen Untersuchungen zur Datierung des 1. Clemensbriefes und der Spätschriften des Neuen Testamentes gewidmet. Am Ende steht eine kritische Edition (mit Übersetzung) der Martyrien des Petrus und des Paulus unter Berücksichtigung einer hier erstmalig eingeführten griechischen Handschrift, die ein bisher nicht bekanntes Selbstporträt des Paulus enthält.
