The Future of religion

Films for the Humanities & Sciences (Firm) (Added Author). Films Media Group (Added Author). Zweites Deutsches Fernsehen. (Added Author).

Summary: The history of the three religions of the Book is a convoluted story of deep-seated hostilities relieved by all-too-brief periods of coexistence and cooperation. Filmed from a Christian perspective, this program looks at the sectarian and interdenominational clashes that have bloodied the centuries while pointing out efforts to achieve a lasting, mutually supportive peace. As the world enters the era of globalization, will the age-old animosities finally be put aside for the good of humankind-and in the name of the selfsame God they all revere?
