Abstract:"Few would deny these religions have played, and still play, a major role in world affairs. But what exactly does the interaction between religion and society consist of? Körner, a Catholic theologian and student of Islam, looks at seven models of how Christianity and Islam have influenced society. He concludes that religion is most authentic when it uses its power to shape the world not through violence, but in a positive manner: in "acknowledgement of the other.""--
