Religious Harmony (Religion & Reason): Problems, Practice, and Education. Proceedings of the Regional Conference of the International Association for . 3rd, 2004.: 45 (Religion and Reason, 45)

It is crucial today to understand how religions can exist harmoniously in a shared environment, whether local or global. A reasoned approach to this question was sought by participants at a stimulating conference of the International Association for the History of Religions (IAHR) in a predominantly Muslim country, Indonesia. Themes treated include the relation between theoretical approaches and religious viewpoints, practical problems and conflict resolution at the local level, and religious education with special reference to the role of Muslim schools (pesantren) in Indonesia.
