How does the powerful effect that religion has on public and
personal life relate to the various spheres of our culture? Is the
relationship between power and religion always negative or can
religion also affect individuals and societies positively? This
volume of the EuARe Lectures, edited by Herman Selderhuis, collects
the texts of the lectures delivered at the Third Annual Conference
of the European Academy of Religion (2020) on the topic “The
Power of Religion / Religion and Power”. Scott Appleby explores
the connection, in the religious imagination, among glorifying the
divine, sanctifying the mundane and exercising political and
cultural power. Cyril Hovorun addresses the issue of the
politicization of religion, focusing in particular on Eastern
Christian cases. Susanne Schröter offers an insight into the
current debate on Islam in Germany. Finally, Kristina Stoeckl
analyses the complex relationship among Europe’s new religious
conflicts, Russian orthodoxy, American Christian conservatives and
the emergence of a European populist right-wing.
