It shows how social and cultural conditions shaping these institutions enable and structure a critical and constructive engagement across diverging worldviews.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA key argument running through the book is that to develop constructive forms of critique a more thorough and systematic investigation of resources for criticism located within religious worldviews themselves is needed. Chapters also address how critique of Islam and Christianity in particular is expressed in areas such as academia, the law, politics, media, education and parenting, with a focus on Northern Europe and North America. The interdisciplinary approach, which combines theoretical perspectives with empirical case studies, contributes to advancing studies of the complex and contentious character of religion in contemporary society\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mia Lheim\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350277843\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350277847\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/09\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.76lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.51d","brand":"Mia Lheim","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43993061753087,"sku":"9781350277847","price":42.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4f56b6d7-3da8-4f7c-bad5-3e3f789d341d.jpg?v=1683322310","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-constructive-critique-of-religion-mia-lvheim-9781350277847","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
