Religious intolerance is very old and widespread - a phenomenon of a highly distinctive nature which defies reduction to a simpler kind of vice. Methods of achieving religious tolerance have long been in dispute because there is much confusion about its nature.

Addressing the question of what kind of theoretical foundations are required if we wish to have a constructive attitude towards different religions, this book scrutinizes aspects of the human condition, personhood and notions of (exclusive) truth and tolerance. In the book, Wolterstorff suggests that persons have hermeneutic and related competences that account for their special dignity, and that this dignity implies the right to practice religion freely. Margolis emphasizes the contingent character of all religious pursuits – being products of a unique form of evolution, humans need to create convincing purposes in an otherwise purposeless world. Respondents criticize both views with an eye on the question of whether those views promote religious tolerance. Grube criticizes the tendency for interreligious dialogue to be pursued under the parameters of an exclusive, bivalent notion of truth according to which something is necessarily false if it is not true. Under those parameters, religions that differ from the (one) true religion must be false. This explains why religious pluralists attempt to minimize the differences between religions at all costs and why others suggest implausibly strong concepts of tolerance. As an alternative, Grube proposes to drop exclusive concepts of truth and to conduct interreligious dialogue under the parameters of the concept of justification which allows for pluralisation. The following discussion takes up this criticism of bivalence and its consequences for dealing with religious otherness. This book was originally published as a special issue of the International Journal of Philosophy and Theology.

Religion’s place in American public life has never been fixed. As new communities have arrived, as old traditions have fractured and reformed, as cultural norms have been shaped by shifting economic structures and the advance of science, and as new faith traditions have expanded the range of religious confessions within America’s religious landscape, the claims posited by religious faiths—and the respect such claims may demand—have been subjects of near-constant change. In The Limits of Religious Tolerance, Alan Jay Levinovitz pushes against the widely held (and often unexamined) notion that unbounded tolerance must and should be accorded to claims forwarded on the basis of religious belief in a society increasingly characterized by religious pluralism. Pressing at the distinction between tolerance and respect, Levinovitz seeks to offer a set of guideposts by which a democratic society could identify and observe a set of limits beyond which religiously grounded claims may legitimately be denied the expectation of unqualified non-interference.

The creation of a secular education system was one of the great social experiments designed to break down religious intolerance within society. One element of this design was administrative, involving the creation of non-denominational schools, and another element involved a centralised curriculum. In this collection of essays, political philosophers, lawyers, sociologists, theologians and educators explore the role of state schools in promoting tolerance within 21st century multicultural, religiously pluralistic societies. How may different models of liberalism in the secular state have different outcomes in relation to religious tolerance in the education system? Does a state education system have a role in teaching values such as tolerance, and if so, how is this best achieved? How are epistemology and truth connected with tolerance? How does the ideal of a ‘value free’ secular education mask the values that the secular state teaches? The essays are written from both theoretical and practical perspectives and engage with each other directly to address one of the significant issues of our day. This is the fourth volume arising from a series of conferences on the theme of ‘Negotiating the Sacred’. Previous volumes have included /Blasphemy and Sacrilege in a Multicultural Society; Blasphemy and Sacrilege in the Arts; and Medicine, Religion and the Body.

This book discusses the relation of different religious systems to the development of world unity, peace and international law. It examines Pagan worship, Judaism, Christianity, Islam and the Indian and Far Eastern religions and shows how far their universalism has made for peace or war. It traces the struggle for religious freedom through the ages and what part religion could and should play in the movement for international peace. At a time when religious fundamentalism and nationalism are once again issues of global significance, this book is as relevant today as when it was originally published.

Die Welt ist aus den Fugen - die religiösen Konflikte werden zunehmend zu einer Bedrohung. Zwischen den westlichen Gesellschaften, in denen Religion zur Privatangelegenheit geworden ist, und den religiös geprägten Gesellschaften insbesondere der islamischen Welt wachsen Misstrauen und Angst, oft befeuert von religiösen Fanatikern. Dieser Entwicklung tritt Shaikh Abdullah bin Mohammed al Salmi mit Nachdruck entgegen. Als Religionsminister von Oman ist er mit den religiösen Angelegenheiten des ebenso traditionsverbundenen wie weltoffenen Sultanats betraut und gleichzeitig auf dem internationalen diplomatischen Parkett zu Hause. In seinen Reden vor Institutionen auf vier Kontinenten stellt Shaikh al Salmi unermüdlich seine Vision einer neuen Welt vor, in der Religion nicht mehr für Krieg und Unterdrückung missbraucht wird. Dabei stützt er sich auf den Koran, den jüdischen Gelehrten Ibn Kammuna, den Dalai Lama oder den katholischen Theologen Hans Küng, der dank Shaikh Abdullahs Initiative in der großen Moschee in Muscat Vorträge halten konnte, wie der Shaikh selbst im Dom zu Aachen. Nach seinem Verständnis ruhen alle Religionen auf einem gemeinsamen Fundament von Werten wie Freiheit, Gleichheit und Toleranz, kurz: auf Menschlichkeit. Hier liegt die Chance der Religionen für die Menschheit. Die sieben in diesem Band enthaltenen Reden Shaik Abdullah bin Mohammed al Salmis beweisen die Kontinuität seines kritischen Denkens und seines Versuchs, die Verständigung zwischen den Menschen und insbesondere den Glauben an Gottes Willen zu stärken - einen Willen, der Fortschritt und Wohlergehen für die gesamte Menschheit wünscht. Al Salmi rückt den friedliebenden Geist des Islam gegenüber Juden- und Christentum sowie den anderen Religionen und Kulturen der Welt wieder in den Mittelpunkt und findet mutige und klare Worte zur Rolle von Politik und Religion im Zeitalter der Globalisierung. Shaik al Salmis Argumentation ist geprägt von seiner persönlichen Sicht auf Vergangenheit und Zukunft. Kenntnisreich hinterfragt er die religiösen und politischen Stereotype der islamischen Welt sowie ihre Beziehungen zum Westen. Sein Engagement für religiöse Toleranz und gegenseitiges Verständnis ist ein Vorbild in einer Zeit, in der die Menschheit positive Beispiele dringender braucht denn je. *************** The world is out of joint - religious conflicts are increasingly becoming a threat. Suspicion and fear, often fuelled by religious fanatics, are growing between the western world, where religion has become a matter of individual choice, and societies, particularly in the Islamic world, which are more inherently religious. Shaikh Abdullah bin Mohammed al Salmi counters this development decisively. As Minister for Religion in Oman he is familiar with the religious affairs of the traditional yet cosmopolitan Sultanate, and is at home in the world of international diplomacy. In his speeches to institutions on four continents Shaikh al Salmi tirelessly promotes his vision of a new world in which religion is no longer misused for war and oppression. He bases his arguments on the Koran, the Jewish scholar Ibn Kammuna, the Dalai Lama or the Catholic theologian Hans Küng, who, thanks to Shaikh Abdullah's initiative, was able to lecture in the Grand Mosque in Muscat as the Shaikh himself did in Aachen Cathedral. According to his understanding, all religions are based on a common foundation of values such as freedom, equality and tolerance, in short: on humanity. This is the chance that religion offers to mankind. The seven addresses by Shaikh Abdullah bin Mohammed al Salmi contained in this volume illustrate the continuity of his critical thinking and of his attempts to strengthen both understanding between peoples and in particular the belief in God's will - a will that desires progress and wellbeing for all humanity. Al Salmi brings back into focus Islam's peace-loving spirit towards Judaism and Christianity and towards the other religions and cultures o
