Ritualizing the Disposal of the Deceased: From Corpse to Concept
ISBN: 9781433107924 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 182 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.)

The Dynamics of Changing Rituals: The Transformation of Religious Rituals Within Their Social and Cultural Context
ISBN: 9780820468266 / Angielski / Twarda / 2003 / 287 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) Most ritual participants claim that their rituals have been the same since time immemorial. Citing recent research in ritual studies, this book illustrates how, on the contrary, rituals are often subject to dynamic changes. When do rituals change? When is the change accidental and when is it on purpose? Are certain kinds of rituals more stable or unstable than others? Which elements of rituals are liable to change and which are relatively stable? Who has the power to change rituals? Who decides to accept a change or not? The Dynamics of Changing Rituals attempts to address these...

Evil, Good, and Gender; Facets of the Feminine in Zoroastrian Religious History
ISBN: 9780820456645 / Angielski / Twarda / 2002 / 166 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) Societies often link the phenomena of evil and good to the feminine and masculine genders and, by extension, to women and men. Evil, Good, and Gender explores doctrinal and societal developments within a context of malevolence that came to be attributed to the feminine and the female in contrast to benevolence ascribed to the masculine and the male by Zoroastrians or Mazda worshipers. This study authoritatively elucidates implications of the feminine and the masculine in religion and suggests that images in theology have been fundamental for defining both women s and men s social roles...

Beyond Legitimation: Essays on the Problem of Religious Knowledge
ISBN: 9780333614907 / Angielski / Twarda / 1994 / 243 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) The early essays in this volume proceed on the assumption that a compatibility system can be fashioned that will not only bring religious knowledge claims into harmony with scientific claims but will also show there to be a fundamental similarity of method in religious and scientific thinking. They are not, however, unambiguously successful. Consequently Professor Wiebe sets out in the succeeding essays to seek an understanding of the religion/science relationship that does not assume they must be compatible. That examination, in the final analysis, reveals a fundamental contradiction in the...

Irony of Theology and the Nature of Religious Thought
ISBN: 9780773510159 / Angielski / Twarda / 1990 / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) In a careful re-evaluation of the works of Levy-Bruhl, Wiebe establishes the coherence of Levy-Bruhl's classic distinction between primitive, or mythopoeic, and scientific thought, maintaining that religious thinking is mythopoeic in nature while theology -- which thinks about religion -- is related to modern Western scientific thinking. The pre-Socratic philosophers, Wiebe shows, developed a form of rational thought radically different from the religious-mythopoeic thought that preceded it. Although Plato was concerned with recovery of the pre-philosophic wisdom of ancient Greece, he...

Death Anxiety and Religious Belief: An Existential Psychology of Religion
ISBN: 9781350061606 / Angielski / Miękka / 2018 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) There are no atheists in foxholes; or so we hear. The thought that the fear of death motivates religious belief has been around since the earliest speculations about the origins of religion. There are hints of this idea in the ancient world, but the theory achieves prominence in the works of Enlightenment critics and Victorian theorists of religion, and has been further developed by contemporary cognitive scientists. Why do people believe in gods? Because they fear death. Yet despite the abiding appeal of this simple hypothesis, there has not been a systematic attempt to evaluate its...
