The current issue of Approaching Religion is based on a summer school and conference arranged in Åbo/Turku, Finland, in June 2021, with the theme ‘Religion and Cultural Change’. The event was organized jointly by the Polin Institute for Theological Research (Åbo Akademi University), the Centre for the Study of Christian Cultures (University of Turku), and the Donner Institute for Research in Religion and Culture. The aim was to bring together doctoral candidates and researchers from various academic fields who engage with the study of religion, such as theology, religious studies, history, philosophy, the arts, social and political sciences and so forth. This included presentations that engaged with the theme Religion and Cultural Change from both historical and contemporary perspectives, as well as looking to the future where possible. As conference organizers, we wanted to highlight cultural change both as dramatic breaking points in history and as slowly evolving transformations. Hence, the conference theme allowed us to address past, present and emerging trends and trajectories within culture, society and the scholarly community. The issue is financed and published by the Polin Institute for Theological Research at Åbo Akademi University, Finland: https://www.polininstitute.fi

Full textAbstract:
The Bhaktivedanta Institute was established in 1976 as a research branch of ISKCON, the International Society for Krishna Consciousness, popularly known as the Hare Krishnas. This article examines the history and ongoing activities of this institute as it has shaped ISKCON’s official religion-science discourses. Early Bhaktivedanta Institute documents are compared with data gathered from a 2019 Bhaktivedanta Institute for Higher Studies workshop. While the Bhaktivedanta Institute’s media initially described science and scientists as malign forces, the 2019 workshop disclosed more complex stances towards biological evolution and scientific researchers. Consequently, this article illustrates the ways in which a contemporary branch of the Bhaktivedanta Institute has attempted to reconcile ISKCON’s worldview with modern science, while also distancing itself from the movement’s previous science-religion conflict narratives.

Full textAbstract:
This article attempts to discuss through detailed ethnographic description, the manner in which scientists in a leading Indian scientific research institute defined and practiced religion. Instead of posing science and religion as dichotomous categories, this article demonstrates its easy coexistence within the everyday lives and practices of Indian scientists. The ‘religious’ scientists did not perceive their religiosity in opposition to science, nor did they accept the complementary view of science and religion. Likewise, the ‘atheistic’ scientists did not find any contradiction in following a ‘religious’ lifestyle and simultaneously identified themselves as atheists or non-believers. This article questions the tacit acceptance of the distinctions between science and religion and seeks to evolve new vocabularies to talk about these categories. It attempts to look at science and religion from a non-dualistic perspective. It argues that a productive way of understanding science and religion is to go beyond the conflict and complementarity models.

Full textAbstract:
This article examines Marcel Gauchet’s claim that the political history of religion is the key to a new understanding of contemporary liberal democratic societies in the shape that they have come to assume since the 1970s. The Disenchantment of the World presents a history of religion starting out from the thesis that, from the perspective of universal history, the primary function of religion can be identified with the production of the unity and identity of societies. Present-day liberal democracies, it is argued, perform the same function through an alternative disposition of the constitutive elements of collective life. Where religions institute the identity of the society by accepting dependence upon a supernatural origin, contemporary society is organized as a ‘subjective form of social functioning’, in the sense that it is able to create and transform itself. Gauchet argues that the central structural features of contemporary society – the administrative state, the separation of civil society and the freedom of individuals, and the global orientation to the future – allow the practical accomplishment of the ideal of autonomy announced by the tradition of modern and revolutionary political thought. The explication of this logic establishes the preconditions for the criticism of these societies, by showing the historical decision and the internal articulations that give them their cohesion.

This edited volume forms the first collection of proceedings from the Summer
Institute for Scholars organized by the International Institute of Islamic
Thought (IIIT), one of the publishers of this journal. This annual gathering,
which was inaugurated in 2008, is “dedicated to the study of contemporary
approaches to Qur’an and Sunnah,” hence the name of this volume. Given
the capacious title, the work naturally offers essays – ten to be precise – from
a wide range of disciplines, including Qur’anic and hadith studies as well Islamic
law, theology, history, and comparative religion. Being the first iteration
of this series, it is perhaps somewhat unsurprising that the work’s overall qual-
ity is somewhat under par, with individual essays varying considerably in
quality. It is therefore reassuring to see on IIIT’s website that subsequent Summer
Institutes have been given a more focused theme.
The work is divided into four parts: the first two focus in different ways
on the Qur’an; the third part pertains more to the Sunnah and law (though, in
my assessment, the ninth essay has more Qur’an in it than Sunnah); and part 4
consists of a single twelve-page essay on the history of Islamic studies in the
West. Given constraints on space, I will not discuss every essay in this review ...

This seminar was a majorevent for scholars of Islamic studies in Indonesia, as it was opened by theIndonesian Minister of Religious Affairs, Munawir Sjadzili. The conferencesecretary, Rifa'i Abduh, and the conference chair, BurhanuddinDaya, organized the conference in order to addres.5 the is.5ues of religiousfundamentalism, and Islam and development.Peter Clarke (King's College, University of London, UK) spoke on"Contemporary Problems of Religion in Europe." He stated that technologyhas become a religion, for many Europeans actually believe in it.In the same way that Christians believe that God can do anything andeverything, secularists believe that technology can do anything and everything.Bert Breiner (Selly Oak College, Birmingham, UK), speaking onthe same is.5ue, said that religious groups in western Europe have tendedto accept the dominant epistemology of scientific empirical objectivity:The major problem of religion in contemporary Europe is thequestion of revelation. Unless religious thinkers can evolve anunderstanding of religious truth in general, and of religion in particular, which is independent of this particular epistemologicalprinciple, it will have little to offer the development of contemporaryEuropean civilization.Martin van BNinessen (University of Leiden, the Netherlands) addressed"Muslim Fundamentalism: Can It Be Understood or Should It BeExplained Away?" He thinks that it can be understood and notes that violentaction in the name of Islam is not a direct result of radical religiousdoctrines, but a consequence of certain social factors that may predisposesome people to militancy. How a person becomes a fundamentalist canbe explained by the religious climate in his/her family, the accessibilityof certain literature, and the frequency of contact with recruiting activists ...

Full textAbstract:
Between 1930 and 1962, the eminent Sanskritist and lawyer Pandurang Vaman Kane (pronounced KAH-nay) produced a five-volume monograph entitled History of Dharmaśāstra (Ancient and Mediaeval Religious and Civil Law), published by the Bhandarkar Oriental Research Institute in Pune, India. This work of over 6,500 pages provides much more than a narrow focus on law or the special genre of Sanskrit literature devoted to religious and legal duties, the Dharmaśāstra. It contains rather something close to an intellectual history of Hinduism, from its origins in the Vedic texts to contemporary debates about the “reform” of Hinduism in nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Kane understood his task as presenting the broadest possible survey of the role legal, religious, and ethical thought in the history of Hinduism, with regular incursions into other religious traditions as well. A modern scholar of Dharmaśāstra, Richard Lariviere, is fond of saying, “We all make our living from Kane’s footnotes.” Indeed, Kane’s work has become a constant source of reference and orientation in South Asian studies of law, religion, ritual, literature, history, and more. It is a work that has perhaps literally launched a thousand dissertations because it is so easy to refer a student or a colleague to the appropriate section of Kane as a way to get their bearings in relation to hundreds of topics in the fields of Hindu studies or Indian social and intellectual history....

Full textAbstract:
This chapter examines the contemporary debate in China over whether Confucianism should be classified as a religion. It begins by introducing the formation of the official religious classification, the Five Major Religions, in the 1950s in socialist China. The chapter then turns to the contemporary Confucianism as a religion controversy in 2000–2004, an important debate among Chinese intellectuals with significant academic, social, and political implications. It argues that ideas are shaped by their social situations, and that the ideas about Confucianism, like many other bodies of knowledge, were shaped by and yet succeeded in transcending their specific environments of origin. The chapter draws on interviews with officials from the State Administration of Religious Affairs, with members of the Department of Confucianism, and with the current head of the Institute of World Religions.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract This chapter provides a brief history of the first three Restatements of Trusts, and it then offers suggestions for a Restatement (Fourth). As this chapter traces, the three Restatements reflect the legal development of the “modern trust,” which holds a variety of financial interests; the chapter also shows how the evolution of the trust Restatements reflect economic, social, and cultural changes. After a brief history, the chapter then turns to trace three themes: first, it threads together how the three Restatements address the question of shifting social and legal norms, including how diverse populations across the wealth spectrum engage with wealth transfer through trusts; second, the chapter focuses on the “public policy” provision in each of the three trust Restatements and tracks that provision’s focus on gender roles, marriage, religion, and “detriment to community”; and third, it traces provisions relating to trustees’ fiduciary responsibilities to beneficiaries, primarily relating to decisions about investments. As this chapter celebrates the positive impact of the Restatements of Trusts on the development of trust law, the chapter also provides suggestions for a Restatement (Fourth) of Trusts that, as has been true of the previous Restatements, would reflect contemporary developments in both trust and society in each of the three categories.
