Religion in World History: The Persistence of Imperial Communion
Religion in World History
Individuals and groups have long found identity and meaning through religion
and its collective expression. In
Religion in World History
, John C. Super and
Briane K. Turley examine the value of religion for interpreting the human
experience in the past and present. This study explores those elements of
religion that best connect it with cultural and political dynamics that have
influenced history.
Working within this general framework, Super and Turley bring out three
unifying themes:
• the relationship between formal and informal religious beliefs, how these
change through time, and how they are reflected in different cultures
• the relationship between church and state, from theocracies to the
repression of religion
• the ongoing search for spiritual certainty, and the consequent splintering
of core religious beliefs and the development of new ones.
The book’s unique approach helps the reader grasp the many and complex ways
that religion acts upon and reacts to broader global processes.
John C. Super
is a Professor of History at West Virginia University, and has
written widely on the history of the Americas.
Briane K. Turley
is Research
Assistant Professor of Geography and History at West Virginia University, and
has written on American religious history. Both have taught as Fulbright
professors, and conducted research on religion in many different countries.
Themes in World History
Series editor: Peter N. Stearns
The
Themes in World History
series offers focused treatment of a range of human
experiences and institutions in the world history context. The purpose is to
provide serious, if brief, discussions of important topics as additions to textbook
coverage and document collections. The treatments will allow students to
probe particular facets of the human story in greater depth than textbook
coverage allows, and to gain a fuller sense of historians’ analytical methods and
debates in the process. Each topic is handled over time – allowing discussions
of changes and continuities. Each topic is assessed in terms of a range of
different societies and religions – allowing comparisons of relevant similarities
and differences. Each book in the series helps readers deal with world history
in action, evaluating global contexts as they work through some of the key
components of human society and human life.
