Conceptualizing Religion: Immanent Anthropologists, Transcendent Natives, and Unbounded Categories
ISBN: 9789004095854 / Angielski / Twarda / 308 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. How might we transform a folk category -- in this case, religion -- into an analytical category suitable for cross-cultural research? In addressing that question, this book critically explores various approaches to the problem of conceptualizing religion for scholarly purposes, particularly with respect to certain disciplinary interests of anthropologists. The author argues that the most plausible analytical strategy can be based on the idea of family resemblances, especially as that idea has been used and developed in contemporary prototype theory. In the solution proposed, religion is...

ISBN: 9789004096523 / Angielski / Twarda / 220 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Changing Christian Paradigms and Their Implications for Modern Thought
ISBN: 9789004096707 / Angielski / Twarda / 362 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Though the Bible and creeds have provided a compass for Christianity from earliest times, the frameworks of thought within which they have been understood have constantly changed, the contribution of Augustine to these changes being fundamental. This book traces, first, these changes chronologically and shows how they have led to the separation of religion and science, faith and reason, supernatural and natural, and so to current materialism: but also to radical alterations to our understanding of God and his relationship to the world. The second part shows in more detail how these changes...

The Virgin Goddess: Studies in the Pagan and Christian Roots of Mariology
ISBN: 9789004136397 / Angielski / Miękka / 316 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The contemporary search for the feminine face of God is requiring a re-examination of the relationship of Christianity to the pagan world in which it came to birth. Stephen Benko approaches this study as both an historian and a Christian believer.

Chapter by chapter he seeks to establish his conclusion that 'in Mariology the...
