The third volume of the series "Key Concepts of Interreligious
Discourses" investigates the roots of the concept of freedom in
Judaism, Christianity and Islam and its relevance for the present
time. The idea of freedom in terms of personal freedoms, which
include freedom of conscience, freedom of speech and bodily
integrity, is a relatively new one and can in some aspects get into
conflict with religious convictions. At the same time, freedom as
an emancipatory power from outer oppression as well as from inner
dependencies is deeply rooted in Judaism, Christianity and Islam.
It is still a vital concept in religious and non-religious
communities and movements. The volume presents the concept of
freedom in its different aspects as anchored in the traditions of
Judaism, Christianity and Islam. It unfolds commonalities and
differences between the three monotheistic religions as well as the
manifold discourses about freedom within these three traditions.
The book offers fundamental knowledge about the specific
understanding of freedom in each one of these traditions, their
interdependencies and their relationship to secular
interpretations.
