Abstract

"This book investigates how the military conflict between Russia and Ukraine has affected the religious situation in these countries. It considers threats to and violations of religious freedom, including those arising in annexed Crimea and in the eastern part of Ukraine, where fighting between Ukrainian government forces and separatist paramilitary groups backed and controlled by Russia is still going on, as well as in Russia and Ukraine more generally. It also assesses the impact of the conflict on church-state relations and national religion policy in each country and explores the role religion has played in the military conflict and the ideology surrounding it, focusing especially on the role of the Ukrainian and Russian Orthodox churches, as well as on the consequences for inter-church relations and dialogue"--

Abstract

"Dans un monde bouleversé, où il a perdu tous ses repères traditionnels, un individu peut se sentir "dans la main de Dieu", comme l'affirmeront, parmi d'autres, bien des protagonistes de la guerre de Trente ans. Mais le miracle peut aussi être collectif lorsqu'une statue "sauve" une cité de l'invasion, que le Ciel épargne une localité face à la cruauté d'un envahisseur. Mais pourquoi le miracle a-t-il lieu ? Qu'en reste-t-il dans la longue durée ? Comment la perception de ces miracles évolue-t-elle face à la montée de l'esprit philosophique et de la rationalité ? Voilà quelques-unes des nombreuses questions auxquelles cet ouvrage répond. Les auteurs y examinent les interventions du surnaturel dans le cadre de guerres, c'est-à-dire l'opposition entre la réalité à laquelle sont confrontés les hommes et des forces qui les dépassent. Des forces susceptibles d'influencer, de modifier le cours des choses en faveur d'une des parties."--Page 4 of cover

Abstract

The traditional view is that early Christians, prior to emperor Constantine’s conversion to Christianity, were pacifists who stubbornly refused to enlist in the Roman army and engage in warfare, preferring to die rather than betray their beliefs. However, a plethora of literary and archaeological evidence demonstrates that was not usually the case. The majority of early Christians did not find military service or warfare particularly problematic. Christians integrated with the dominant mores of society and that included military service. It is, in fact, possible that Christianity was particularly attractive to those in military service. This study looks to reposition early Christian ethics and the attitude towards war and to bring new understanding to the relationship between military service and Christianity.

Abstract

Though the wise know that history will inevitably repeat itself, mankind keeps on making the same mistakes. It is never an easy task to write about war and religion, and Dr. Jacques G. Ruelland has managed to do so clearly and without prejudice. Through his exposé of the holy wars, this philosopher-historian traces a not-so-holy picture of civilization by analyzing the semantics of "sacredness" inherent to monotheistic religions. With the compassionate eye of the humanist, he helps us understand the origins of the justifications of wars waged in the name of the Almighty. Will we ever learn to

Abstract

This collection of essays ponders upon the intricate relations between the military and the spiritual from the Middle Ages to the present day. In order to analyse human attitudes towards conflicts, it is necessary to dwell upon the nebulous area where the religious and political spheres interweave so tightly that they become virtually impossible to distinguish. Indeed, despite remaining the responsibility of the state, the political decision to go to war depends heavily on some spiritual unde...
