Community Identity Dynamics of Religion in

The understanding of identity in relation to community has been a focus of academic studies in recent years. An exclusive self-understanding of the identity of one's own community, coupled with a hostile attitude toward other communities, often leads to communal conflicts. This volume focuses on communal or corporate understanding of identity and assesses the topic of identity from the perspectives of theology and religious studies.
