«Religion in der Verantwortung» is a collection of essays by Helmut Schmidt, published by Propyläen in hardback (250 pages, in German).
Helmut Schmidt addresses the relationship between religion and politics and brings together his contributions on the subject, many previously unpublished, with a final chapter. He is concerned that the abuse of religion for political purposes could endanger world peace, and therefore calls on leaders of Judaism, Christianity and Islam to foster respect and tolerance.
The full title includes the subtitle «Gefährdungen des Friedens im Zeitalter der Globalisierung». Published in 2011.
Recommended for readers interested in the relationship between religion and politics, the thought of Helmut Schmidt and tolerance between faiths.
