Religious Encounters in Transcultural Society
Lexington Books (Verlag)
978-1-4985-6918-7 (ISBN)
This volume focuses on the various phenomena of religious encounters in a transcultural society where religion or religious traditions play a significant role in a multi-cultural concept. Religious Encounters in Transcultural Society is divided into three parts: Islamic encounters with regional religions, East Asian religious encounters, and alternative religious encounters. This book evokes the fact that religious encounters exist in every transcultural society even though they often remain hidden behind socio-cultural issues. The situation can be changed, but one culture cannot harmoniously and always contain two or multi-beliefs. The issue of religious encounters mostly arises in the transnational process of religious globalization.
David William Kim is visiting fellow at the Department of Political and Social Change, Coral Bell School of Asia Pacific Affairs, Australian National University.
