Nonreligion in Late Modern Societies
This volume presents results from new and ongoing research efforts into the role of nonreligion in education, politics, law and society from a variety of different countries. Featuring data from a wide range of quantitative and qualitative studies, the book exposes the relational dynamics of religion and nonreligion. Firstly, it highlights the extent to which nonreligion is defined and understood by legal and institutional actors on the basis of religions, and often replicates the organisation of society and majority religions. At the same time, it displays how essential it is to approach nonreligion on its own, by freeing oneself from the frameworks from which religion is thought. The book ...
Religion and Prison: An Overview of Contemporary Europe
This volume offers a European overview of the management of religious diversity in prisons and provides readers with rich empirical material and a comparative perspective. The chapters combine both legal and sociological approaches. Coverage for each country includes historical background, current penitentiary organization, and recent changes or trends. In their exploration of legal aspects, the contributors look at such factors as the status of prison chaplains and regulations concerning religious practice and religious freedom. These include meals, prayers, and visits. The sociological analysis examines religious discrimination in prison, church-prison relations, conversion and proselytism, and more. The European coverage includes countries for which such information is seldom available. The book offers readers a better understanding of governance of religion in prisons. This text appeals to students, researchers and professionals in the field.
Corps, religion et diversité
Circoncision, voile, alimentation, le religieux suscite régulièrement le débat, notamment sur la façon dont les différentes religions s'inscrivent dans le rapport au corps de leurs fidèles. Dans une société à la pluralité religieuse grandissante, de multiples usages différents se font voir. Pourquoi une telle présence du religieux dans nos sociétés occidentales sécularisées?? Il est temps d'explorer les liens riches et complexes qui existent entre corps, religion, et diversité.
Theology and the University
Theology and the University presents a compelling argument as to why theology still matters. It considers how theology has been marginalised in the academy and in public life, arguing that doing so has serious repercussions for the integrity of the academic study of religion. The chapters in this book demonstrate how theology, as the only discipline which represents religion from within, provides insight into aspects of religion which are hidden from the social sciences. Against a backdrop of heated debates on the role of the humanities in the university, the book highlights the specific contribution of theological education and research to the work of a university, providing essential infor...
Les minorités religieuses en France
La 4e de couv. indique : "Quatre-vingt spécialistes -sociologues, ethnologues, anthropologues, historiens, etc.-, réunis sous la direction d'Anne-Laure Zwilling, avec Joëlle Allouche-Benayoun, Rita Hermon-Belot et Lionel Obadia, ont participé à une aventure éditoriale sans précédent. Il s'agissait de fournir une meilleure connaissance des groupes religieux présents en France et de décrire leur évolution récente, alors que le fait religieux dans la France contemporaine demeure pour beaucoup hermétique. Ces mouvements religieux (plus de quatre-vingt-dix) sont présentés ici en détail, regroupés par grands ensembles confessionnels : les religions asiatiques, les catholicismes, les christianismes orientaux, les islams, les judaïsmes, les protestantismes, et les groupes échappant au classement traditionnel. Cette vue d'ensemble permet de saisir le positionnement de chacun de ces groupes dans l'espace public et les uns par rapport aux autres, et contribue ainsi à une meilleure intelligence du phénomène religieux à travers ses principales dynamiques et dans toute son actualité."
Approaches to Literary Readings of Ancient Jewish Writings
In this volume twelve contributions discuss the relevance, accuracy, potential, and possible alternatives to a literary reading of ancient Jewish writings, especially the Hebrew Bible. Drawing on different academic fields (biblical studies, rabbinic studies, and literary studies) and on various methodologies (literary criticism, rhetorical criticism, cognitive linguistics, historical criticism, and reception history), the essays form a state-of-the-art overview of the current use of the literary approach toward ancient Jewish texts. The volume convincingly shows that the latest approaches to a literary reading can still enhance our understanding of these texts.
Catholic Social Thought and Prison Ministry
This book explores how the themes and insights of official Catholic Social Teaching (CST) and broader Catholic social thought might illuminate, and be illuminated by, a deeper engagement with the context of prisons. What resources might Catholic social thought bring to pastoral work in prisons? And what might listening to the prison context bring to Catholic social thought? The volume includes constructive proposals for the relationship between CST and prison ministry, as well as critical questions about the role and shortcomings of prisons, CST, and chaplaincy. It contains contributions by scholars and practitioners of theology, criminology, and prison chaplaincy from the UK, US, and Ireland, and reflects on the inextricable relationship of social action and pastoral care in the work of prison ministry.

Adab and Modernity
Adab is a concept situated at the heart of Arabic and Islamic civilization. What became of it, towards modernity? The question of the civilising process (Norbert Elias) helps us reflect on this story.
