Religion
From the beginning of the 21 st century, the word "radical" was often used to distinguish between "safe religion" and "dangerous religion", as in the case of "radical Islam". But what is the origin of such "radical"? This book takes up and explains in an easy-to-understand manner religious ideas that were considered radical from Islam, Christianity, Buddhism, Judaism, Hinduism, and Shintoism. It reveals that "religious radical ideas" such as Qutb, Malcolm X, John Brown, and Nissho Inoue have new common features that are different from their pre-modern heretics.
