RUTGERS UNIVERSITY Virtual
Religion Index
This site is designed to advance
research in matters of religion. As a global
forum that may be accessed instantaneously
anywhere, the internet promises to surpass the
impact of the printing press on the study of
religion. Gutenberg made possible the family
Bible. The WWW puts a global library of free
information on the desk of anyone with a computer
& telephone line. We offer this free service
in hope that you will come here again & again.

Wars of Religion
Die Religionskriege im Frankreich
des 16. Jahrhunderts.
The religious wars began with overt hostilities
in 1562 and lasted until the Edict of Nantes in
1598. It was warfare that devastated a generation,
although conducted in rather desultory,
inconclusive way. Although religion was certainly
the basis for the conflict, it was much more than
a confessional dispute. http://www.lepg.org/wars.htm
Religionswissenschaft
Die Religionswissenschaft sucht nicht nach Wahrheit, sondern
ordnet, klassifiziert und vergleicht verschiedene
Religionskulturen. Religionswissenschaft ist eine Wissenschaft,
die sich mit allen konkreten Religionen der Vergangenheit und
Gegenwart befasst. Die Religionswissenschaft setzt keine
Glaubenszustimmung voraus, hält also weder die christliche noch
irgendeine andere Offenbarung für verbindlich. Die
Religionswissenschaft ist eine junge Wissenschaft mit „Vorläufern"
in aufklärerischen Krisenzeiten (Antike, Humanismus). Im
strengen Sinne entstand sie während der neuzeitlichen Aufklärung,
insbesondere in England, in den Niederlanden, Deutschland,
Skandinavien.
