Religious fundamentalism is on the rise. This rise is not limited to geopolitically charged conflict zones but also emerges in Western democracies. There is no politically neutral space from which to explore this pervading phenomenon and analyse its dynamics. LIMINA broaches the subject and does not shy away from attempting a delicate balancing act between context-sensitive analyses and practise-oriented engagement.

The aim of this edition is to analyse religious radicalisation in its current form, to shed light on its motives, goals, patterns and strategies, and to discuss theoretical and practical approaches to address fundamentalist trends.
