Religious Literacy - Handy Books on Religion in World Affairs

Globalization – the economically-driven ‘one-world community’ – has brought the world of religions to our doorstep. We cannot pretend any longer that it is a private matter best ignored. Religious literacy means understanding that religion has consequences and anticipating them. What people believe influences everything from politics, to education, sex, international affairs and security: all crucial beats for journalists and other professionals.

Handy Books on Religion in World Affairs

‘Caliph’ was the title given to the leaders of the Muslim world who followed Muhammad himself. Although formally abolished in 1924, the caliphate is today an aspiration for Muslim extremist groups Islamic State, al-Qa’ida, the Muslim Brotherhood and Hizb ut-Tahrir, symbolising for them the re-birth and re-unification of Muslim power.
