Throughout the last two decades, the modern dialogue movement has gained worldwide significance. The knowledge about its origins is, however, still very limited. This book presents a wide range of insights from eleven case studies into the early history of several important international interreligious/interfaith dialogue organizations that have shaped the modern development of interreligious dialogue from the late nineteenth century up to the present. Based on new archival research, they describe, on the one hand, how these actors put their ideals into practice and, on the other, how they faced many challenges as pioneers in the establishment of new interreligious/interfaith organizational structures. This book concludes with a comparison of those case studies, bringing to light new and broader historico-sociological understanding of the beginnings of international and multi-religious interreligious/interfaith dialogue organizations over more than one century.

"The present volume offers a new account of the activities of International Association for the History of Religions during the Cold War. By focusing on the IAHR membership of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences in 1957, the book reconsiders the impact of the Iron Curtain. Valerio Severino examines unpublished international correspondences, bureaucratic requests, confidential reports submitted by the delegates after their participation in congresses in Western Europe and the USA. Facts and insights about leading Hungarian scholars and internal processes of the IAHR are reconstructed in detail. Through doing so, Severino is able to evaluate the permeability of the Iron Curtain, the exchange of knowledge between the opposing blocs, the ideological control exercised through the Academy and the ways in which academics subjected their work to this obligation"--

C'est au XIIIe siècle, en plein conflit entre le pape et l'empereur, que Rome commence à faire circuler une rumeur infamante à propos de Frédéric II Hohenstaufen: soupçonné d'indifférentisme, voir d'athéisme, celui-ci serait l'auteur d'un livre sulfureux, Le Traité des trois imposteurs. Tout est dans le titre, blasphème suprême censé dénoncer à la fois Moïse, Jésus et Mahomet comme vils affabulateurs brandissant la menace de la colère divine et de ses châtiments éternels pour mieux asseoir leur tyrannie. Or, de ce supposé pamphlet n'existe précisément que le titre! Durant un demi-millénaire, les auteurs les plus divers seront successivement soupçonnés d'avoir rédigé ce livre que nul n'a jamais vu, mais qui alimente les fantasmes des inquisiteurs comme des libres-penseurs. Le Traité des trois imposteurs finira par exister pour de bon au XVIIIe siècle, empruntant alors son contenu aux polémistes anti-chrétiens de l'Antiquité comme à Spinoza. A travers l'étrange biographie d'un livre fantôme, c'est toute l'histoire de l'athéisme, du blasphème et de la libre pensée qui se dessine en filigrane de cette étude érudite au ton enlevé.
