Description
Summary:Arvind Sharma, the editor of Praeger Books four-volume series, The World's Religions after September 11 writes about how the terrorist attacks on 9/11 smashed the hopes of “those who were dreaming for a utopian peace after the implosion of the Soviet Union.” The question this series explores is how the events of 9/11 informed the ways that adherents from various religious traditions are talking with each other about issues of human rights and violence. While it may be assumed that political or national identities will respond to such cataclysms, how should people of faith respond? This series springs from presentations made at the Global Congress on World Religion's after September 11, presided over by Sharma in Montreal (2006).
