| Résumé : |
The spectre of religious fundamentalism hovers over the modern world like the Sword of Damocles. In post-colonial Asia which is in the throes of modernizing, it threatens the basic plurality of the socio-cultural fabric. Religious fundamentalism has both crucial socio-political and socio-economic connotations. Because religion is susceptible to easy and expedient politicization its ideational core sometimes becomes the basis for a closed ideological system, even leading to the establishment of theocratic states.
The Board of Theological Education of the Senate of Serampore College (BTESSC), in collaboration with the Christian Conference of Asia (CCA) and the World Alliance of Reformed Churches (WARC) recognizing the importance of this problem organized a major Asian consultation on the theme: "Religious Fundamentalism: An Asian Perspective", mainly to understand the phenomenon and examine the implications of religious fundamentalism for Christians, the Asian church and ecumenical relations. This volume is a compilation of the presentations and deliberations at this consultation. It is hoped that this will enable us to make an affirmative Christian statement and response to rampant religious fundamentalism. |
