Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Americans are often baffled by France's general indifference to religion and laws forbidding religious symbols in public schools, full-face veils in public places, and even the interdiction of burkinis on French beaches. An understanding of laicite provides insight in beginning to understand France and its people. Laicite has been described as the complete secularization of institutions as a necessity to prevent a return to the Ancien Regime characterized by the union of church and state. To understand the concept of laicite, one must begin in the sixteenth century with the Protestant Reformation and freedom of conscience recognized by the Edict of Nantes in 1598. This has been called the period of incipient laicite in the toleration of Protestantism. The Revocation of the Edict of Nantes in 1685 reestablished the union of the throne and altar, which resulted in persecution of the Huguenots who fought for the principle of the freedom of conscience. French laicite presents a specificity in origin, definition, and evolution which led to the official separation of church and state in 1905. The question in the early twentieth century concerned the Roman Catholic Church's compatibility with democracy. That same question is being asked of Islam in the twenty-first century.

Download or read book Regulating Religion written by James T. Richardson and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 573 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Regulating Religion: Case Studies from Around the Globe presents, through the inclusion of contributions by international scholars, a global examination of how a number of contemporary societies are regulating religious groups. It focuses on legal efforts to exert social control over such groups, especially through court cases, but also with selected major legislative attempts to regulate them. As such, this analysis falls within the broad area of the sociology of social control and more specifically, legal social control, a topic of great interest when studying how contemporary societies attempt to maintain social order. The factual details about social and legal developments in societies where religion has been defined as problematic include Western and Eastern Europe, Asia, Oceania, and the Americas. This book will be of interest to researchers and students in the sociology of religion, the sociology of law, social policy, and religious studies as well as policy makers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alors que l’on croyait en avoir fini avec le fait religieux sous la poussée d’une modernité occidentale qui semblait en avoir fortement réduit l’impact social, la religion occupe à nouveau une place centrale dans l’actualité française. Au coeur de discussions et polémiques, elle figure également à l’agenda politique, les autorités publiques cherchant à redéfinir aussi bien les conditions d’exercice de la liberté religieuse et ses limites que le point d’équilibre à trouver pour garantir la neutralité religieuse de l’État dans la société. Dans ce contexte, les diverses religions relisent leurs traditions et l’actualisent, suscitant des réactions diverses en leur sein. Cet ouvrage présente les données les plus actuelles sur les reconfigurations contemporaines du religieux en France : net décrochage du catholicisme, progression des « sans religion », pluralisation accentuée, essor de certaines croyances, brouillage des frontières entre religieux et non-religieux... Congédiant l’idée selon laquelle plus de modernité signifierait moins de religion, il vient également montrer que, bien au contraire, l’ultramodernité contemporaine, pénétrée d’incertitudes, entraîne de profonds bouleversements du religieux qui ont des conséquences politiques, sociales et culturelles dont on ne mesure pas encore suffisamment l’ampleur.

Download or read book Annual Review of the Sociology of Religion Volume 5 2014 written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2014-11-13 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In contrast with the growing belief in society that traditional religious institutions are losing credibility, there has been renewed interest in monasteries going beyond what is strictly defined as religious. There are, for example, increasingly numerous requests for cooking and gardening courses as well as guided tours in monasteries, the appeal of monastic products and media interest in the subject. In parallel with a strong crisis in its recruitment, monasticism in the Western world is experiencing a period of innovation and experiments accompanied by unexpected popularity, as is evidenced by numerous films and publications. We hope that this book will deepen the understanding of the specificity of monastic life in the in the contemporary world, in a religious area, and from a sociological point of view.

Download or read book Des sectes dans la France contemporaine written by Jean-Pierre Chantin and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les sectes sont à la mode. À tel point que les feux de l'actualité ont généré une sorte de psychose. La France a même créé une " commission parlementaire d'enquête sur les sectes ", dont le rapport a été publié en 1996. Mais peut-on vraiment parler d'explosion de dissidences ? Le " fait sectaire ", médiatisé à outrance, est-il exagéré au regard des événements de ces cent dernières années ? Dans cet ouvrage, l'auteur souhaite nuancer cette impression de phénomène nouveau. En effet, si les dissidences n'ont jamais cessé d'exister, elles s'apparentent bien plus à des insatisfactions ou des mécontentements. En 1905, la séparation de l'Église et de l'État va mettre fin au régime du Concordat de 1801 et de ses " cultes autorisés ". Les groupes religieux vont alors se multiplier tout au long du XXe siècle. Or comment distinguer une secte d'un autre groupe religieux ? La commission parlementaire française a retenu pour principal critère le caractère de dangerosité. Le mot " secte " ayant lui-même fluctué entre diverses interprétations, la notion de secte est sans doute à repenser aujourd'hui...

Download or read book Earthen Vessels written by Joel A. Carpenter and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2012-12-01 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contrary to popular impressions, the days of the missionary are far from over. North American churches send more missionaries than ever before, and 90 percent of them are evangelicals who are not affiliated with the mainline Protestant mission boards. The first major historical treatment of the distinctly evangelical wing of twentieth-century American missions, Earthen Vessels truly breaks new ground. Covering territory that missions histories have scarcely explored yet, the distinguished historians contributing to this volume portray the North American (including Canadian) evangelical missionary enterprise from the Student Volunteer Movement to the very recent past. The book traces the influences of premillennial eschatology, the fundamentalist-modernist controversies, the rise of independent missions and conservative denominational boards, the role of World War II and America's rise to world power, the recent development of a distinctly evangelical theology of missions, and the growing influence of the Two-Thirds World's evangelical leaders. While this volume certainly does not contain the last word on these subjects, in a number of areas it does offer very nearly the first look. With its fresh subject matter and new historical interpretations, Earthen Vessels will interest church history scholars and students, missionaries and ministers, and any others who wish to know more about American missions.
