The central idea behind this book is that the globalisation and
politicisation of traditional religious identities is a historical
phenomenon with deep roots in the 19th-20th centuries. Tracing the
emergence of 'Religious Internationals' as a distinctive new
phenomenon in world history, it transforms our understanding of the
place of religion in the modern world. Leading historians and
social scientists break new ground by comparing the historical
experiences of different faith communities in an age of
globalization without comparing them as religions. In-depth case
studies focus on the internationalist dimensions of Buddhism,
Christianity (Catholic, Orthodox, Protestant), Hinduism, Judaism
and Islam. Individually, they illuminate the complex processes
whereby communities of believers became communities of opinion.
Collectively, they shed new light on the origins and nature of
global civil society, highlighting the role of religion as one of
its motor forces from the start.
