These arguments often polarize around simplistic reductions, making efforts at reconciliation impossible. Yet more rational stances do exist, positions that broker a peace between relativism and religion in people's public, private, and ethical lives.Christianity, Truth, and Weakening Faith advances just such a dialogue, featuring the collaboration of two major philosophers known for their progressive approach to this issue. Seeking unity over difference, Gianni Vattimo and René Girard turn to Max Weber, Eric Auerbach, and Marcel Gauchet, among others, in their exploration of truth and liberty, relativism and faith, and the tensions of a world filled with new forms of religiously inspired violence. Vattimo and Girard ultimately conclude that secularism and the involvement (or lack thereof) of religion in governance are, in essence, produced by Christianity. In other words, Christianity is "the religion of the exit from religion," and democracy, civil rights, the free market, and individual freedoms are all facilitated by Christian culture. Through an exchange that is both intimate and enlightening, Vattimo and Girard share their unparalleled insight into the relationships among religion, modernity, and the role of Christianity, especially as it exists in our multicultural world. 606 $aChristianity$xPhilosophy 606 $aChristianity and culture 606 $aRelativity 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aChristianity$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aChristianity and culture. 615 0$aRelativity. 676 $a261.2/1 700 $aVattimo$b Gianni$f1936-$010352 701 $aGirard$b Rene?$f1923-$0386685 701 $aAntonello$b Pierpaolo$0594105 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910457089403321 996 $aChristianity, truth, and weakening faith$92454500 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03776oam 2200565I 450 001 9910154579803321 005 20230808200630.0 010 $a1-351-94567-X 010 $a1-315-25831-5 024 7 $a10.4324/9781315258317 035 $a(CKB)3710000000965571 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC4758207 035 $a(OCoLC)965543185 035 $a(BIP)63368281 035 $a(BIP)13717514 035 $a(EXLCZ)993710000000965571 100 $a20180706e20162008 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $2rdacontent 182 $2rdamedia 183 $2rdacarrier 200 00$aDefining community in early modern Europe /$fedited by Michael J.

Offering a variety of historical and theoretical approaches, the sixteen original essays in this collection survey major regions of Western Europe, including France, Geneva, the German Lands, Italy and the Spanish Empire, the Netherlands, England, and Scotland. Complementing the regional diversity is a broad spectrum of religious confessions: Roman Catholic communities in France, Italy, and Germany; Reformed churches in France, Geneva, and Scotland; Lutheran communities in Germany; Mennonites in Germany and the Netherlands; English Anglicans; Jews in Germany, Italy, and the Netherlands; and Muslim converts returning to Christian England. This volume illuminates the variety of ways in which communities were defined and operated across early modern Europe: as imposed by community leaders or negotiated across society; as defined by belief, behavior, and memory; as marked by rigid boundaries and conflict or by flexibility and change; as shaped by art, ritual, charity, or devotional practices; and as characterized by the contending or overlapping boundaries of family, religion, and politics. Taken together, these chapters demonstrate the complex and changeable nature of community in an era more often characterized as a time of stark certainties and inflexibility. As a result, the volume contributes a vital resource to the ongoing efforts of scholars to understand the creation and perpetuation of communities and the significance of community definition for early modern Europeans. 410 0$aSt. Andrews studies in Reformation history. 606 $aCommunities$xReligious aspects$xChristianity 606 $aCommunities$zEurope 606 $aCommunities$xHistory 607 $aEurope$xChurch history 615 0$aCommunities$xReligious aspects$xChristianity. 615 0$aCommunities 615 0$aCommunities$xHistory. 676 $a307.094 701 $aHalvorson$b Michael$080586 701 $aSpierling$b Karen E.$f1970-$0880980 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910154579803321 996 $aDefining community in early modern Europe$91967727 997 $aUNINA
