Beschreibungen

Violent extremism is not new, but we have witnessed its rise to the point that it has become a defining issue of our time. We cannot brush it aside any longer: it characterizes who we are as a people and as a global society. Why is violent extremism rising? What are its drivers and triggers? These questions must be asked and answered first, and Teaching in a World of Violent Extremism takes up the questions and the answers.

In an effort to end violent extremism, the next questions that must be pursued are these: How shall we prevent and undo extremism, especially the militant and violent kind? In this world of violent extremism, what curriculum designs, educational programs, and pedagogies shall we employ to develop competent citizens, civic leaders, and pastors, as well as resilient communities?
Eleazar S. Fernandez is Professor of Constructive Theology at United Theological Seminary in the Twin Cities and President of Union Theological Seminary of the Philippines. He has edited or authored a number of books, including
<i>Burning Center, Porous Borders</i> (Wipf &amp; Stock, 2011),
<i>Teaching for a Culturally Diverse and Racially Just World</i> (editor, Cascade, 2014), and
<i>Teaching for a Multifaith World</i> (editor, Pickwick, 2017).
“If violent extremism is rooted in belief systems, as this volume argues, responses by scholars of religion and theology are requisite. Such responses are even more urgent when political and religious leaders stoke fears in the midst of the escalating tensions of global capitalism. The value of this volume lies in providing various pedagogical alternatives and a reevaluation of the contributions of religion.”

<br> “Fernandez provides a much-needed clarion call to the rising violent extremism in our country and in our world. A must-read, for if we fail to properly define the violent extremism in our midst, we fail to strategize against such injustices. The contributors gathered do more than simply theorize; they consider praxis, which can lead to a world not reacting to unfounded fear and insecurities.”
<br>
<br> —Miguel A. De La Torre, Professor of Social Ethics and Latinx Studies, Iliff School of Theology, Denver

<br>
<br> “A useful book written primarily by Protestant Christian theologians that helps to put violence related to religion into the social contexts from which it arises. It will help to bring understanding to readers in Christian circles who seek clarity about this pressing global problem.”
<br>
<br> —Mark Juergensmeyer, author of
<i>Terror in the Mind of God: The Global Rise of Religious Violence</i>
