The Last Great Frontier: Religious Freedom and Citizenship: A Comparative Historical Inquiry

The intention of Professor Dr. Lamin Sanneh is to use examples from the African and Islamic traditions to explore religious freedom and the dual responsibility it entails for persons as believers and citizens at the same time.

Three types of sovereignty have competed for our loyalty: divine sovereignty, political sovereignty, and the sovereignty of the self. For believers these rival sovereignties complicate the very notion of moral and civic responsibility. What solutions do African and Islamic sources offer for the discharge of the duties of citizenship and the obligations of the spiritual life? What belongs with the dual heritage of being a believer and a citizenship at the same time? How does membership in the religious community relate to membership in society? How does religion foster the common good that is essential for a viable democratic social order? These questions will guide our exploration.

Veranstaltet vom Leibniz-Institut für Europäische Geschichte
und von der BMBF-Nachwuchsforschergruppe »Europabilder evangelischer Missionare«.
