It is crucial today to understand how religions can exist harmoniously in a shared environment, whether local or global. A reasoned approach to this question was sought by participants at a stimulating conference of the International Association for the History of Religions (IAHR) in a predominantly Muslim country, Indonesia. Themes treated include the relation between theoretical approaches and religious viewpoints, practical problems and conflict resolution at the local level, and religious education with special reference to the role of Muslim schools (pesantren) in Indonesia.

These two volumes present Pye’s methodological, theoretical, and field-based interests in the study of religions.

Barat sering disalahpahami. Banyak yang beranggapan bahwa Barat tidak ada niat lain kecuali menghancurkan Timur (dunia Islam). Pemahaman tentang Barat masih dipengaruhi trauma kolonialisasi: bagaimana negara-negara maju dan berkembang tersebut menguasai dunia Timur dan dunia sedang berkembang dan kurang berkembang dari masa mereka menjajah hingga saat ini di era globalisasi. Buku ini menjelaskan duduk perkara hubungan antara Barat dan Timur, bagaimana Barat mempelajari dan menulis tentang Timur (Orientalisme). Kenyataannya, dari era klasik penjajahan hingga globalisasi Barat terus membuka studi tentang Islam dan mengembangkannya dalam segala bidang: sejarah, sosiologi, antropologi, filologi, filsafat, agama, budaya, dan politik. Semua itu dikupas dan dipetakan bagaimana Barat menjadikan Timur sebagai objek kajian dan bagaimana Timur menanggapinya dan menjadikan Barat sebagai objek kajian pula (Oksidentalisme). Persoalan Barat dan Timur adalah persoalan persepsi yang diperjelas dalam buku ini. Diterbitkan oleh penerbit Serambi Ilmu Semesta" (Serambi Group)

Since the downfall of the phenomenology of religion as the leading paradigm in the study of religion in the 1960s, theoretical and methodological discussions surrounding the nature and identity of the study of religion as an academic discipline have proliferated. The essays included in this volume approach these debates from a variety of angles. Based on a series of talks held at the University of Hannover over the last few years, the essays are intended to be understood as diagnostic works in progress and thus as working papers, all of which strive to point out important problems and perspectives in the field of theories and methodology and to draw attention to the future of the discipline. Using developments in Hanover as a launch pad, the volume forms the basis for further insights into the direction of the study of religion as a discipline at large.
