Political Religion : How Christianity and Islam Shape the World

This book explores how religions can shape the world. For this purpose, the author identified different types of religious ways of shaping the world, viz., culture, foundation of identity, legitimization of power, relativization of power, presence of powerlessness, and inspiration of society to that sociological framework. The author aligned with these corresponding religious notions, especially from the Bible and the Qur’an, also where they are critical of past and present circumstances. †
