Kulturmøder og religiøse fjendebilleder
This scientific essay deals with the conflict between Roman religion and Christianity and reveals key elements in the formation of religious enemy images. Both the ancient and present-day discussions and conflicts are highlighted: worship and miracles, the imperial cult, migration and marginalization, martyrs and terror, fear and populism, democracy and globalization; the EU, freedom of religion and repressive liberalism. Among other things, in Europe's past and present, the book's discussions bring sociology's classics into play and poses, among other things. sharp questions of religion as an identity marker; nationalism, populism and religious extremism; the European fear factor and European secularism as a (un)viable path to a globalized Europe. New light is shed on a complex problem, which has been particularly discussed in connection with contemporary and sociological studies of globalization and cultural identity. This happens, for example, in the formation of theoretical concepts such as "flux" (the global flow) and "fix" (cultural freezing) In connection with ancient Romanization and modern globalization and by the demonstration that Roman conceptual religion and superstition denote a rhetorical instrument that can also work in today's Europe.
