More about the book
In this volume the authors study the three major monotheistic religions Judaism, Christianity and Islam to determine how they each approach their political roles. They discuss the relationship between religion and politics with a special emphasis: How and why do religions consider it normal to engage in political activities? What is the logic behind their aspiration to take on “political tasks”? The contributions consider the political self-image of these religions and compare them to external perception thereof from a nonreligious perspective.
