Political religion : how Christianity and Islam shape the world / Felix Körner.

• Religion as culture -- Religion as foundation of a new identity -- Religion as legitimation of rule and violence -- Religion as relativization and critique of worldly power -- Religion as representation of weakness -- Religion as inspiration in a plural society -- Religion as acknowledgment of the other.

• "Few would deny these religions have played, and still play, a major role in world affairs. But what exactly does the interaction between religion and society consist of? Körner, a Catholic theologian and student of Islam, looks at seven models of how Christianity and Islam have influenced society. He concludes that religion is most authentic when it uses its power to shape the world not through violence, but in a positive manner: in "acknowledgement of the other.""--
