Theological Analysis of the Religious Conflict: New Opportunities and Limitations
https://doi.org/10.31162/2618-9569-2018-11-2-350-358
Abstract
The article deals with the analysis of religious conflict from the theological point of view. The topic invites a closer attention due to the increasing tensions between the members of multi-confessional communities. These tensions result in the population’s acute interest towards various religious aspects. They also challenge the efficiency of the established relations between the state and the Church and may result in bloody conflicts. Many specialists in the study of conflicts consider therefore the present century as a turning point, which inevitably has to enhance our knowledge and understanding of the phenomenon of a conflict.
