| Summary/Abstract |
Samuel Moyn and Andrew Sartori depict a conceptual map of a range of
possible approaches and ways in which Global Intellectual History (GIH) can
be formulated as an academic discipline. Various scholars from different fields
propose to widen its scope and boundaries - from trans-local and westerncentric
to intra-regional, trans-continental, trans-national and even beyond the
geographical designation. In this writing, an attempt has been made to bring the
idea of “Suhl-i-kul”, a state sponsored ‘interreligious-dialogue’ initiated by Akbar
(1556-1605), a mediaeval Mughal emperor of India, as a content of GIH. This
study assumes that the concept of “Suhl-i-kul” can be matched with the idea of
‘post-secularism’ which demands that such concept can create a trans-religious
global formation and contribute to establish a peaceful society in a religiously
pluralist world, especially from the perspective of multi-religious South Asia.

| Summary/Abstract |
The article explores the possibilities of friendship between Israel and the Pope in the light of Pope Benedict's denial of a reduction of religions to cultural artefacts and his commitment to religious claims to truth. Any discussion of Benedict XVI and Israel must take into account this call for the respect of the human desire for truth, the confidence in the ability of reason, and the validity of religious statements. This article offers some reflections on Benedict XVI's contribution to the larger debate of interreligious dialogue between Christianity and the Jewish faith. After a brief look at Vatican II's Nostra Aetate and at John Paul II, the essay examines some sections of Benedict XVI's Jesus of Nazareth and his first encyclical Deus Caritas est with a view of developing the category of friendship as it applies to his attitude to the faith of Israel.

| Summary/Abstract |
By positing the prospect of eternity, religion can bring stability and predictability to a situation of uncertainty and conflict. The world economic crisis has demonstrated graphically that stable material prosperity is impossible without reliance on such fundamental concepts as spirituality, morality and goodness. Faith is a powerful source of spiritual values. It opens to the people the supreme meaning of existence, gives them hope for the victory of good, and endows them with energy for living.
