Our Greatest Weapon Is Love
This book offers the first English translation of the essential writings of Christophe Munzihirwa, SJ. Munzihirwa was a Congolese Jesuit priest and archbishop who was assassinated for his outspoken advocacy for refugees during the volatile period between the Rwandan genocide and the First Congo War. Gathering his major articles, homilies, letters, and other reflections, this collection introduces readers to Munzihirwa’s moral, political, and theological outlook, as well as the Jesuit, Catholic spirituality that fueled his activism. Engaging such topics as democracy, development, enculturation, the ethics of war and peace, and the role of the church in the modern world, this collection deepens our understanding of one of twentieth-century Africa’s most fascinating religious leaders and champions of justice and peace.

Decolonization and the Remaking of Christianity
In the decades following the era of decolonization, global Christianity experienced a seismic shift. While Catholicism and Protestantism have declined in their historic European strongholds, they have sustained explosive growth in Asia, Latin America, and Africa. This demographic change has established Christians from the Global South as an increasingly dominant presence in modern Christian thought, culture, and politics. Decolonization and the Remaking of Christianity unearths the roots of this development, charting the metamorphosis of Christian practice and institutions across five continents throughout the pivotal years of decolonization. The essays in this collection illustrate the dive...
Theism and Atheism in a Post-Secular Age
This book examines the post-secular idea of ‘religion for non-believers’. The new form of unbelief which is dubbed as ‘tourist atheism’ is not based on absolute rejection of religion as a ‘dangerous illusion’ or ‘mere prejudice’. Tourist atheists instead consider religion as a cultural heritage and a way of seeking perfection. What are the origins of these new forms of atheism? What are the implications of the emergence of a type of atheism which is more open toward religious teachings, rituals, arts, and world views? Hashemi argues that public intellectuals must consider that it is a sign of a post-secular age in which believers and non-believers go beyond mere tolerance and engage in a creative process of co-practice and co-working.
Global Perspectives in Modern Italian Culture
Global Perspectives in Modern Italian Culture presents a series of unexplored case studies from the sixteenth to the twentieth century, each demonstrating how travellers, scientists, Catholic missionaries, scholars and diplomats coming from the Italian peninsula contributed to understandings of various global issues during the age of early globalization. It also examines how these individuals represented different parts of the world to an Italian audience, and how deeply Italian culture drew inspiration from the increasing knowledge of world ‘Otherness’. The first part of the book focuses on the production of knowledge, drawing on texts written by philosophers, scientists, historians and numerous other first-hand eyewitnesses. The second part analyses the dissemination and popularization of knowledge by focussing on previously understudied published works and initiatives aimed at learned Italian readers and the general public. Written in a lively and engaging manner, this book will appeal to scholars and students of early modern and modern European history, as well as those interested in global history.
Cultural Sociology of the Middle East, Asia, and Africa
In our age of globalization and multiculturalism, it has never been more important to understand and appreciate all cultures across the world. The four volumes take a step forward in this endeavour by presenting concise information on those regions least well-known to students across Europe: the Middle East, Asia and Africa. The volumes convey what daily life is like for people in these selected regions. Entries will aid readers in understanding the importance of cultural sociology, to appreciate the effects of cultural forces around the world, and to learn the history of countries and cultures within these important regions. Key Features -Topics are explored within historical context, in th...
Mission et engagement politique après 1945
En s'insérant dans un contexte étranger avec le bagage de son pays d'origine, le missionnaire emporte avec lui un mode de vie en société et une conception du monde. Les rencontres missionnaires affectent donc la vie de la " cité " ; elles sont dans ce sens éminemment " politiques ". Les acteurs de la mission, comme individus ou comme congrégations, ont joué un rôle ayant des incidences sur la vie politique des populations locales, au sens large. Parfois, ce rôle a été politique au sens partisan du terme. Ce livre interroge l'évolution des rapports entre missions et politique dans la seconde moitié du XXe siècle. Le contexte est alors aux luttes d'indépendance, à la décoloni...
Mission et politique après 1945
En s'insérant dans un contexte étranger avec le bagage de son pays d'origine, le missionnaire emporte avec lui un mode de vie en société et une conception du monde. Les rencontres missionnaires affectent donc la vie de la "cité"; elles sont dans ce sens éminemment "politiques". Par ce qu'ils ont dit ou par ce qu'ils ont tu, par ce qu'ils ont fait ou par ce qu'ils ont omis de faire, les acteurs de la mission, comme individus ou comme congrégations, ont joué un rôle ayant des incidences sur la vie politique des populations locales. En se limitant à la période d'après la seconde guerre mondiale, à partir de quelques cas pris en Afrique, en Amérique latine et en Europe, le dossier montre l'omniprésence, la diversité et la complexité de l'engagement politique des acteurs de la mission.
