In contrast, the public sphere is understood as a secular and rational place where religious influence must be curtailed. In this binary perspective, Islam is viewed as misunderstanding the nature of religion and the secular because it seeks to enter the public space and does not properly accept the separation of religion and state. By contrast, Europe is associated with political secularism and it is presumed to be both secular and Judeo-Christian. This leaves other religious traditions, especially Islam and Muslims, as outside the dominant vision of Europe. The book brings authors together who share a vision of Europe beyond these binaries. It shows paths to a fruitful encounter of religion and secularities in Europe on the one hand and of Judaism, Christianity and Islam on the other.Beiträge zur Komparativen Theologie ;37.Religious Diversity in EuropeOlder peopleReligious lifeRationalismReligionControversial literatureOlder peopleReligious life.Rationalism.ReligionControversial literature.200Ralston JoshuaStosch Klaus vonNL-LeKBNL-LeKBBOOK9910838180403321Beyond Binaries4132369UNINA
