Religious Individualisation
This volume brings together key findings of the long-term research project ‘Religious Individualisation in Historical Perspective’ (Max Weber Centre for Advanced Cultural and Social Studies, Erfurt University). Combining a wide range of disciplinary approaches, methods and theories, the volume assembles over 50 contributions that explore and compare processes of religious individualisation in different religious environments and historical periods, in particular in Asia, the Mediterranean, and Europe from antiquity to the recent past. Contrary to standard theories of modernisation, which tend to regard religious individualisation as a specifically modern or early modern as well as an ess...
Fundamentalismus als religionspädagogische Herausforderung

Franklin, Hamburg, Ogdensburg, and Hardyston
Franklin, Hamburg, Ogdensburg, and Hardyston chronicles the settlement and life of the Wallkill Valley area of northern New Jersey. In rare photographs, the book reveals the history of the people and places in the communities of Franklin, Hamburg, Ogdensburg, and Hardyston. Beginning entirely as Hardyston Township, the area developed into four communities, each with distinctive qualities. Franklin is the "Fluorescent Mineral Capital of the World," as declared by the U.S. Congress, and with its zinc mines, is known as the "Model Mining Town of America." Hamburg from early times was a crossroads and business district. Ogdensburg possessed several mines and Thomas Edison interests. Hardyston, with its lakes for summer visitors and still-thriving farmland, retains the beauty of its natural surroundings.

Fundamentalismus
Wenn Religion gefährlich wird, ziehen Forscher, Politiker und Feuilletonisten den Containerbegriff Fundamentalismus heran. In ihm hat alles seinen Platz: Gewaltbereite Gotteskrieger, militante Abtreibungsgegner, bibelgläubige Kreationisten. Allerdings führt dieses Vorgehen zu einer gewissen Unordnung, die letztlich den heuristischen Wert des Terminus schmälert. Daher macht sich Christoph Urban in seiner systematisch-theologischen Analyse daran, aufzuräumen und Ordnung zu schaffen. Er weist die besondere Bedeutung des Fundamentalismusbegriffes als die eines Abgrenzungsbegriffes nach, mit dem Theologinnen und Theologen markieren, wo sie in aktuellen Diskursen gefährliche Grenzen überschritten sehen. Die so gewonnene Topografie ist gleichzeitig eine Einführung in wesentliche religionspolitische Debatten der Bundesrepublik.
