This chapter uses CIL4EU data to investigate strength of identification with the nation and with the ethnic group. It explores how these vary across ethnic and religious groups, generations, and destination countries and how far these differences can be explained by processes of social integration on the one hand or perceptions of being excluded on the other hand. The key findings are that young people with a migration background are less likely than those without a migration background to identify strongly with their country of residence. This holds true more or less irrespective of their ethnic group or religion. Differences between European and non-European minority groups, and between Muslims and members of other non-Christian religions were generally modest in size, rarely reached statistical significance and were dwarfed by the overall gap between minorities and the majority.Less

The realities of war, the patterns of immigration and migration, the growth of giant cities and industries, and the ferment of intellectual revolution in the period from 1800 to 1920 influenced not only the denominations of the British Protestant background, but also strongly affected churches of other traditions. The expansion and crisis as well as the struggle for unity of Roman Catholicism are illustrated. The chapter also shows the diversity and unity of Lutheranism in America. It then emphasizes the Eastern Orthodoxy in the Western World. Some old and new smaller denominations and non-Christian religions are reported as well.Less

Vatican II’s Declaration on the Relationship of the Church to Non-Christian Religions, Nostra Aetate, marks a key shift in the Church’s pastoral approach to the non-Christian religions, one that has raised numerous doctrinal debates on the status of these religions. Proceeding in three parts, this essay first examines the text of NA, read together with Lumen Gentium 14–16, in light of a key doctrinal question often raised by these texts: what is the salvific status of the non-Christian religions? Granted salvation occurs outside the bounds of the visible Church, does this occur through or despite these religions? Second, the essay hones in on the discussion surrounding NA’s teaching on the Jewish people, with a particular focus on the question of the status of their covenant, as too the sensitive question of mission to the Jews. Third and finally, this essay discusses NA’s teaching on Islam, the Qu’ran, and Muhammad.Less

This introductory chapter is structured as a discussion of four of the central empirical and analytic tendencies in the sociology of religion in the US, and as an account of what is going on at the edges where this core is being challenged. It poses a set of questions and provides a set of examples where the next generation of research might begin. What is revealed about the self, pluralism, or modernity when we look outside the United States or outside Christian settings where the center and the edges meet? What do we learn about how and where the religious is actually at work and what its role is when we unpack the assumptions about it embedded in these much used categories? What kinds of methods help bring to light these lacunae, and how do the insights they yield help us to re-center the sociology of religion? An overview of the subsequent chapters is also presented.Less

This chapter analyses Norman Anderson’s contribution to the reassessment and revision of the evangelical missionary engagement with Islam in the 1950s. It focuses on his participation in multiple influential Christian missionary conferences concerned with articulating general principles to guide evangelistic outreach to Muslims and compares his theological conclusions with those of other key Christian missionary thinkers such as Kenneth Cragg. While Anderson differed with Cragg on many points, they were both attempting to help formulate a theologically grounded response to the growth of nationalist movements, the apparent revival of non-Christian religions and the decline of European imperial influence.Less

Only God knows God fully, and human beings can know God only to the degree that God reveals himself to them. This chapter takes up the question of what that means, especially the question of whether there is revelation by the tri-personal God among non-Christian religions. The chapter begins with a definition of revelation, then considers media and modes of revelation, the nature of revelation, and the relation of revelation to the Bible. After touching briefly on what the Bible has to say about knowledge of God outside of Israel, the chapter takes up the question of revelation in the religions.Less

This anthology gathers the work of three generations of Latina/o theologians and philosopher who have taken up the task of transforming their respective disciplines from the standpoint of liberation and what has been called the “decolonial turn” in social theory, theology, and philosophy. This collection is focuses on the different ways in which Latina/o thinkers, activists, and public intellectuals are producing knowledge that addresses the unique social location of Latinas/os in the US. Instead of continuing to be represented, this group of scholars show the unsuspecting and original ways in which Latina/o locations in the US can be generative places for the development of new matrixes of knowledge. The book, thus, articulates a new point of departure for the self-understanding of not simply Latina/os, but also US citizens in this new age of post-colonialism and globalization.Less

This chapter examines the difficulties of establishing a dialogue between the Catholic Church and non-Christian religions, non-Catholic Christianity, and the modern world. It notes that dialogue, properly understood, is an excellent thing, whether carried on within the Church or between the different Christian churches or different religions. But it needs to be kept in mind that authentic dialogue is premised on truth and is directed to an increment of truth. Where the conditions are not met, true dialogue cannot occur. The chapter holds that groups that call for dialogue in order to confront the Church with inexorable demands must be met with a firm refusal. It concludes that polarization is more likely to arise when the true teaching is obscured by the indulgence of contrary opinions. The hierarchical magisterium must be vigilant to prevent and correct error in matters of doctrine.Less

This book makes available in fifteen chapters English essays that mark the fortieth anniversary of the Second Vatican Council's Declaration on the Relationship of the Church to Non-Christian Religions (Nostra Aetate). Surveying Vatican dialogues and documents, the chapters explore theological questions posed by the Shoah and the Catholic recognition of the Jewish people's covenantal life with God. Featuring essays by Vatican officials, leading rabbis, diplomats, and Catholic and Jewish scholars, the book discusses the nature of Christian–Jewish relations and the need to remember their conflicted and often tragic history, aspects of a Christian theology of Judaism, the Catholic–Jewish dialogue since the Shoah, and the establishment of formal diplomatic relations between the Holy See and Israel. The book includes an essay by Cardinal Walter Kasper, president of the Pontifical Commission for Religious Relations with the Jews, and documents on the rapprochement between the Church and the Jewish people.Less
