Ruard Ganzevoort -- $tGeneral Index -- $tContributors to this Volume. 330 $aThe various Christian, Muslim, traditional (African), and secular (Western) ways of imagining and coping with evil collected in this volume have several things in common. The most crucial perhaps and certainly the most striking aspect is the problem of defining the nature or characteristics of evil as such. Some argue that evil has an essence that remains constant, whereas others say its interpretation depends on time and place. However much religious and secular interpretations of evil may have changed, the human search for sense and meaning never ends. Questions of whom to blame and whom to address?God, the devil, fate, bad luck, or humans?remain at the center of our explanations and our strategies to comprehend, define, counter, or process the evil we do and the evil done to us by people, God, nature, or accident. Using approaches from cultural anthropology, religious studies, theology, philosophy, psychology, and history, the contributors to this volume analyze how several religious and secular traditions imagine and cope with evil. 410 0$aCurrents of encounter ;$vv. 35. 606 $aGood and evil$xReligious aspects$vCongresses 606 $aGood and evil$xReligious aspects$vCase studies 606 $aEthics, Comparative$vCongresses 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aGood and evil$xReligious aspects 615 0$aGood and evil$xReligious aspects 615 0$aEthics, Comparative 676 $a214 701 $aDoorn-Harder$b Pieternella van$f1956-$0920716 701 $aMinnema$b Lourens$f1960-$0939154 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910451957003321 996 $aCoping with evil in religion and culture$92116933 997 $aUNINA
