Paul Weller
"John William Weller (Paul Weller); Woking, Surrey, geboren 25 mei 1958, is een Brits muzikant en zanger. Hij werd bekend met de bands The Jam en The Style Council, alvorens vanaf begin jaren negentig als solo-artiest aan het werk te gaan. Sindsdien staat Weller bekend als een van de meest geliefde en invloedrijke artiesten van Groot-Brittannië.â Weller groeide op als zoon van Ann (schoonmaakster) en John Weller (taxichauffeur, amateurbokser, bouwvakker); hoewel hij het niet breed had zetten zijn ouders alles op alles om hem te geven waar hij om vroeg. Als tiener ontdekte Weller The Beatles en raakte hij geïnteresseerd in de Modcultuur. Bij bol.com hebben we heel veel cd's en lp's van Paul Weller waaronder ook het laatse album van Paul Weller.

Samenvatting
Using the events surrounding "The Satanic Verses" controversy as a starting point, this book offers an examination of the twenty-first century challenges posed by living with radical difference, freedom of expression, and mutual respect. It is of interest to academics, politicians, students, and religious believers.
Using the events surrounding "The Satanic Verses" controversy as a starting point, Paul Weller offers an interesting examination of the twenty-first century challenges posed by living with radical difference, freedom of expression, and mutual respect.26th September 2008 marks the twentieth anniversary of the beginning of "The Satanic Verses" controversy - a controversy that in many ways became paradigmatic for the following two decades.Taking as its starting-point the opening two years of the controversy, Paul Weller uses the events and arguments of those years as a lens through which to view what later developed, both in relation to the controversy itself, but also its wider entails, and the incidents and issues through which aspects of the original controversy were reprised. The anniversary of the controversy presents a good opportunity to review the incidents, issues and debates of the time in some historical perspective, while also connecting them with subsequent incidents that have reprised some of the key themes, such as the 'cartoons' controversy, the terror attacks of 9/11 and 7/7, and the killing of the Dutch filmmaker, Theo Van Gogh.The book holds up a mirror for our times that will be of interest to academics, politicians, students, and religious believers, as well as to all who are engaged with the twenty-first century challenges posed by living with radical difference, freedom of expression, and mutual respect, with exploring the relationship between religion and secularity, and with overcoming the threats posed by religiously informed violence. Paul Weller is Professor of Inter-Religious Relations at the University of Derby and Visiting Fellow in the Oxford Centre for Christianity and Culture at Regent's Park College, University of Oxford, UK. He is editor of "Religions in the UK: Directory 2007-10", the 2001 edition of which won the Shap Working Party on World Religions in Education prize for 'an outstanding contribution to the teaching of world religions'.
