While studies often claim to hold the key to this frightening phenomenon, they seldom account for the crucial role that religious conviction plays, not just in radical Islam, but also in the fundamentalist branches of the world's two other largest religions: Christianity and Hinduism. As the first book to examine violent extremism in all three religions together, Competing Fundamentalisms draws on studies in sociology, psychology, culture, and economicsÌwhile focusing on the central role of religious ideasÌto paint a richer portrait of this potent force in modern life. Clarke argues that the forces of globalization fuel the aggression of these movements to produce the competing feature of religious fundamentalisms, which have more in common with their counterparts across religious lines than they do with the members of their own religions. He proposes ways to deescalate religious violence in the service of peacemaking. Readers will gain important insights into how violent religious fundamentalism works in the world's three largest religions and learn new strategies for promoting peace in the context of contemporary interreligious conflict. - from publisher 650 0 $a Religious fundamentalism. 650 0 $a Violence $x Religious aspects. 650 0 $a Christianity. 650 0 $a Hinduism. 650 0 $a Islam. 650 7 $a Christianity. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00859599 650 7 $a Hinduism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00957121 650 7 $a Islam. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00979776 650 7 $a Religious fundamentalism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01094078 650 7 $a Violence $x Religious aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01167248 776 08 $i Online version: $a Clarke, Sathianathan, author. $t Competing fundamentalisms. $b First edition. $d Louisville, Kentucky : Westminster John Knox Press, [2017] $z 9781611648102 $w (DLC) 2017006795 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20170706035148.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=3C11E548475911E7B35354A3DAD10320 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
