{"product_id":"religious-identity-and-the-invention-of-tradition-9789023237143","title":"Religious Identity and the Invention of Tradition","description":"This book contains the contributions to the first international conference organised by the Netherlands School for Advanced Studies in Theology and Religion (NOSTER), held in the Netherlands in January 1999.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe conference theme was inspired by Eric Hobsbawm and Terence Ranger’s influential volume, The Invention of Tradition. Their work provided a starting point for discussing formations and changes of religious traditions on the one hand, and the interaction of religious identities and the transformation of traditions on the other. \nAfter an introductory section discussing Hobsbawm’s definitions and his theoretical framework, and offering several critical applications of his framework to Christian traditions, the main part of this volume consists of three thematic sections: the theme of the Exodus, the earliest traditions about the Lord’s supper, and the modern “myth of Fundamentalism”. \u003cbr\u003e\nThis volume will be of interest to all those engaged in the study of religious traditions and identities, and the way in which these interact.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nFrom the Contents\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Invention of Religious Traditions\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nCounterfactuals and the Invention of Religious Traditions - Marcel Sarot\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Creation of Tradition: Rereading and Reading beyond Hobsbawm - Paul Post\u003cbr\u003e\nEarly Christianity between Divine Promise and Earthly Politics - Willemien Otten\u003cbr\u003e\nChallenging the Tradition of the Bodiless God: A Way to Inclusive Monotheism? - Kune E.
