| Résumé: | Asia is the birthplace of many world religions. Its history and culture have been profoundly influenced by these religions. These religious traditions offer spiritual guidance and also set moral and ethical standards for the daily life of peoples in the region. However, they were also challenged by the colonialism and imperialism in the modern era. This modernized civilization welcomed, compelled or swayed local societies; and made indigenous moralities either weak, irrelevant, or were forced to transform in order to survive. Religious plurality in Asia is a unique God-given reality; it is a God-given mission to make this pluralistic reality a blessing instead of a source of conflict or division. |
