Abstract:
In 1966, the Donner Institute arranged a symposium on the theme "Cultural Contact, Meeting of Religions, and Syncretism". In this volume, papers read at the conference are published under the editorship of Sven S. Hartman. Syncretism is often regarded as a problem by the historian of religion, but the volume presents a more varied understanding of how religions mingle and meet, clash and conflict.Themes presented in the volume range from foreign influences in African religions to syncretistic traits in Old Norse religion and from Christian elements in Japanese Buddhism to Mandean versions of Old and New Testament figures. Several leading scholars of religion of the time are found among the contributors, e.g. Helmer Ringgren, Åke Hultkrantz, Olof Petterson, Åke V. Ström and Jan Bergman. (Verlagsangaben)
