This title was first published in 2002: Religion and Social
Transformations examines the reciprocal relationship between
religion, modernity and social change. The book focuses on the
world's three major missionary religions - Buddhism, Christianity
and Islam. It explores how these three traditions are responding to
some of the most challenging issues associated with globalization,
including the role of religion in the fall of Communism; the
tension between religion and feminism; the compatibility of
religion and human rights; and whether ancient religions can
accommodate new challenges such as environmentalism. The five
textbooks and Reader that make up the Religion Today Open
University/Ashgate series are: From Sacred Text to Internet;
Religion and Social Transformations; Perspectives on Civil
Religion; Global Religious Movements in Regional Context; Belief
Beyond Boundaries; Religion Today: A Reader
