“…The Stadial Consciousness Theory views religion as being intolerant and quite often responsible for creating conflict. 68 In this discourse, references are often to the religion of others or the religion that someone decided to leave behind. To be secular, then, presents a condition where one is free from religion, thus free from intolerance.…”

“…67 These projects would aim to explore possibilities of 'joint memory work and historiography'. 68 In a country like South Africa, where missiologists have access to vulnerable communities, bringing those communities' stories together, as well as searching and exploring their interwovenness together with them would be crucial too. Therefore, rather than engaging in narratives of communities in isolation, the interaction between communities in search of a common narrative that would aim at human dignity should be encouraged.…”

By bringing Exodus 15:3 into dialogue with other biblical texts (Exodus 34:6; Psalms 65:2) and the Rabbinic importance of compassion for 'all creatures' (beriôṯ) and 'all inhabitants of the world' (bôrēʾ ʿôlām), Rabbi Judah portrays YHWH as a God who violently punishes the guilty and listens simultaneously to prayers of all the creatures in the world, see Gopin,Eden and Armageddon,[67][68] The term jihad is often mistakenly reduced to 'holy war' . The basic meaning of the classic Arabic root jhd is 'effort' , 'exhaustion' , or 'strain' .…”

Religious radicalism requires demarcation. In order to conduct an academic debate, we need to agree on a number of criteria. What is the difference between a moderate believer and a radical? Is it not the case that so-called 'holy texts' include calls for radical behaviour? In this exploratory article, which serves as an introduction to the book, we look at the hermeneutical debate on religious radicalism. We highlight five approaches: historiographic, anthropological, political, socio-psychological and theological. We also present a number of useful tables to distinguish radical religious views and conclude with a conceptualization of fundamentalism.
