Martyrs have a special status in every religion. They are "heroes" who give their lives for their ideals. Their death acquires a symbolic meaning and its own story within their own religious tradition. There is no fixed definition of 'the' martyr, in every time and situation people give it its own meaning. However, the death of the martyr is always shocking and creates a deep duality. In Dan liever dood!, experts address how we deal with martyrdom in the traditions of the five major world religions. What is meant by ""martyrdom"" in Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, and Hinduism? And in the secular world? Where does this talk of 'martyrs' come from, and how is their martyrdom valued?

Los autores de los ensayos que aparecen en este volumen buscan un modelo del cambio religioso que permita comprender los contactos históricos contingentes entre sociedades distintas, sobre todo ante una situación de dominio de una sociedad frente a otra. Su esfuerzo se orienta hacia la identificación de la variedad de elementos implicados en tales contactos y hacia la explicación de cómo sus efectos permean y modifican las instituciones y los valores religiosos de las sociedades. Los ensayos se refieren a varios casos históricos, en particular la penetración del islam en el Medio Oriente, la India e Indonesia, y la penetración del cristianismo en Filipinas y México. Tomados en conjunto, los ensayos sugieren una serie de determinantes generales que ayudan a entender por qué el cambio religioso es rápido y relativamente radical en algunos casos -los que se agrupan bajo el rubro de la conversión- y más lento y parcial en otros -los agrupados bajo el rubro del sincretismo. Los factores principales que rigen estos procesos incluyen el modo y la extensión de los contactos, los diferentes niveles de desarrollo económico y científico de las sociedades; la naturaleza de sus respectivos valores, de sus creencias y de sus prácticas religiosas.

This volume develops new conceptual and theoretical directions in the study of religion, conflict, and violence through a sharp focus on materiality, drawing upon two previously unrelated fields of scholarship: research on religion and conflict and the material turn within religious studies. How do objects become contested in settings characterized by (violent) conflict? Why are some things contested by religious actors? How do religious actors mobilize things in conflict situations and how are conflict and violence experienced by religious groups? This volume explores relations between materiality, religion, and violence by drawing upon two fields of scholarship that have rarely engaged with one another: research on religion and (violent) conflict and the material turn within religious studies. This way, this volume sets the stage for the development of new conceptual and methodological directions in the study of religion-related violent conflict that takes materiality seriously.

In Religions and Trade a number of international scholars investigate the ways in which eastern and western religions were formed and transformed from the perspective of “trade.” Trade changes religions. Religions expand through the help of trade infrastructures, and religions extend and enrich the trade relations with cultural and religious “commodities” which they contribute to the “market place” of human culture and religion. This leads to the inclusion, demarcation and densification as well as the amalgamation of religious traditions. In an attempt to find new pathways into the world of religious dynamics, this collection of essays focuses on four elements or “commodities” of religious interchange: topologies of religious space, religious symbol systems, religious knowledge, and religious-ethical ways of life.
