Zusammenfassung:A sensitive and topical overview of religious fundamentalism, examining traditions including Hinduism, Buddhism, Mormonism, Judaism, Christianity and Islam.
"Under the auspices of top international commentators, The Freedom To Do God's Will considers the global impact of fundamentalism on religious traditions including Hinduism, Buddhism, Mormonism, Christianity, Judasim and Islam. With special reference to human rights issues, women's rights and the influence of social factors, it brings a new dimension to a field of study often dominated by purely religious or political perspectives, while effectively challenging received ideas about the violence and conservatism of fundamentalist movements. Revealingly illustrated with original case studies, 10 investigative essays from a multicultural panel of experts, each with specific local and academic knowledge of the faiths and issues they discuss, offer an intimate and highly specific portrait of why and how fundamentalism occurs."--Publisher description
