This volume collects essays that investigate, from a multidisciplinary perspective, figures, events and contexts belonging to the complex and plural reality of Protestantism in the contemporary age, from the Risorgimento onwards. Here the relations between certain Protestant traditions and various "challenges" of both theoretical and practical order are delineated, within scenarios that include Italy, Ireland, the African continent, and the United States of America. The essays deal with issues such as: the ecumenical dialogues between the Irish Churches during the "Troubles"; the multiple dynamics of emigration and integration, considering the role of religious communities; the socio-political interpretations of some religious doctrines and experiences; the Christian doctrine of war; the relation between religion and politics during the Risorgimento; the social role of Evangelical movements in Southern Italy; the political theology involved in the agreements between Italian State and Waldensian and Methodist Italian Churches. The volume presents new researches, and aims to open up new research paths on national and international Protestantism, as well as on religious pluralism.
Il volume raccoglie saggi che indagano in chiave multidisciplinare figure, eventi e contesti appartenenti alla complessa e plurale realtà del protestantesimo nell’età contemporanea, dal Risorgimento all’attualità. Entro scenari che comprendono l’Italia, l’Irlanda, il continente africano e gli Stati Uniti d’America, si delineano i rapporti tra determinate tradizioni protestanti e diverse sfide di ordine sia teoretico che pratico: dal cammino ecumenico tra le Chiese irlandesi nel periodo dei Troubles alle molteplici dinamiche dell’emigrazione e dell’integrazione, con il ruolo di mediazione delle comunità religiose; dai significati socio-politici assunti da dottrine ed esperienze religiose al dilemma della compatibilità tra princìpi cristiani e giustificazione della guerra; dal legame tra riforma etico-politica e riforma religiosa nell’Italia risorgimentale all’impatto sociale e culturale dei movimenti evangelici nel Mezzogiorno, fino alla teologia politica soggiacente al dibattito sulle Intese tra le Chiese valdesi e metodiste e la Repubblica italiana. Il volume, tramite le ricerche inedite presentate, contribuisce ad aprire nuovi percorsi di studi sul protestantesimo nazionale e internazionale, nonché a fornire spunti per il sempre più rilevante tema del pluralismo religioso.

Abstract
This volume collects essays that investigate, from a multidisciplinary perspective, figures, events and contexts belonging to the complex and plural reality of Protestantism in the contemporary age, from the Risorgimento onwards. Here the relations between certain Protestant traditions and various "challenges" of both theoretical and practical order are delineated, within scenarios that include Italy, Ireland, the African continent, and the United States of America. The essays deal with issues such as: the ecumenical dialogues between the Irish Churches during the "Troubles"; the multiple dynamics of emigration and integration, considering the role of religious communities; the socio-political interpretations of some religious doctrines and experiences; the Christian doctrine of war; the relation between religion and politics during the Risorgimento; the social role of Evangelical movements in Southern Italy; the political theology involved in the agreements between Italian State and Waldensian and Methodist Italian Churches. The volume presents new researches, and aims to open up new research paths on national and international Protestantism, as well as on religious pluralism.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
