Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Previous studies reveal that religion, despite its ideal of solidarity, hospitality and compassion, has been the primary origin of ethnocentrism. However, other researches dispute this sweeping claim by indicating several other factors that affect this complex relationship. This empirical-theological study is an endeavour to dig deeper into these factors by examining the extent to which a number of religious images which are culled from five religious themes, namely, God, Jesus, Spirit, salvation and church, contribute to ethnocentrism. It situates these religious attitudes within the framework of the Dutch civil religion, and the different reactions to it by contemporary Dutch catholic believers.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 514 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ethnocentrism is one of the greatest obstacles to peace on the African continent. Taking the Church as Family of God as a model of evangelization, this work explores means of inculturating the Gospel message in African cultures in order to transform them, make them blossom and enable Africans to live as authentic Christians in their cultures. It examines the values of African extended families and the prospects of interreligious dialogue as means through which the various religious bodies can effectively work together to overcome ethnocentrism and its evil effects and thus establish a wholesome African society where every human person is at home irrespective of family orientation or tribal background.

Download or read book Religion and Conflict Attribution written by Francis-Vincent Anthony and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2014-10-30 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Religion can play a dual role with regard to conflict. It can promote either violence or peace. Religion and Conflict Attribution seeks to clarify the causes of religious conflict as perceived by Christian, Muslim and Hindu college students in Tamil Nadu, India. These students in varying degrees attribute conflict to force-driven causes, namely to coercive power as a means of achieving the economic, political or socio-cultural goals of religious groups. The study reveals how force-driven religious conflict is influenced by prescriptive beliefs like religious practice and mystical experience, and descriptive beliefs such as the interpretation of religious plurality and religiocentrism. It also elaborates on the practical consequences of the salient findings for the educational process.

Book excerpt: Crucial Issues in Caribbean Religions concentrates on the effects of intersections in the Caribbean of major world religions such as Christianity (both Catholicism and Protestantism), Judaism, Islam, and Hinduism, with indigenous religions such as Caribs and Arawaks, and African-derived religions such as Lucumi (Yoruba/Santeria/Regla de Ocha), Regla de Palo, Vodun, Obeah, Rastafari, Orisa, or Shango in Trinidad.

Download or read book Friends and Other Strangers written by Richard B. Miller and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2016-07-05 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Friends and Other Strangers argues for expanding the field of religious ethics to address the normative dimensions of culture, interpersonal desires, friendships and family, and institutional and political relationships. Richard B. Miller urges religious ethicists to turn to cultural studies to broaden the range of the issues they address and to examine matters of cultural practice and cultural difference in critical and self-reflexive ways. Friends and Other Strangers critically discusses the ethics of ethnography; ethnocentrism, relativism, and moral criticism; empathy and the ethics of self-other attunement; indignation, empathy, and solidarity; the meaning of moral responsibility in relation to children and friends; civic virtue, war, and alterity; the normative and psychological dimensions of memory; and religion and democratic public life. Miller challenges distinctions between psyche and culture, self and other, and uses the concepts of intimacy and alterity as dialectical touchstones for examining the normative dimensions of self-other relationships. A wholly contemporary, global, and interdisciplinary work, Friends and Other Strangers illuminates aspects of moral life ethicists have otherwise overlooked.

Download or read book Ethnocentrism a Challenge to Evangelization in the World written by Daniel W Kasomo and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2010-11 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ethnology is the scientific study of the origin and functioning of humans and their cultures. As a human universal reality, ethnocentrism is said to be more pronounced in modern nations than in pre-literature tribes. People in developed countries of Europe and America tend to despise other nations and their customs terming them as queer and foolish just because they are different from their own. The western church has not been spared from prejudices and biases about African religion as revealed by missionaries attitudes. It is believed that ethnocentrism is a major cause of problems in the world and the developing nations.Ethnic difference should never cause ethnic conflicts, genocide or ethnic cleansing. On the contrary ethnicity should be viewed as a gift of God meant for mutual enrichment.No one has had a choice on where to be born. Classifications of peoples have been ideologically created, in which other peoples' right to life was denied them simply because they were looked upon as different. Therefore, cases of ethnic cleansing and genocide emerge from situations that support the attitude of US and THEM.This book is good to all ethnic communities in the world.A must read.
