America's Spiritual Utopias: The Quest for Heaven on Earth
ISBN: 9780313353482 / Angielski / Twarda / 184 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. There are some 20,000 utopian communities in present-day America. Most of them keep a low profile, welcoming new members without advertising for them. Nearly all are hidden from view -- in rural America, in city slums, behind monastery walls. A majority of them are motivated by religious faith and seek to approximate heaven on earth. Some are startlingly successful. Utopian communities share a belief in the essential goodness of human nature and the possibility of personal perfection. The glue that binds them is not coercion, but commitment. Most are radically egalitarian. Their members... There are some 20,000 utopian communities in present-day America.

Philosophy Bridging the World Religions
ISBN: 9781402006487 / Angielski / Twarda / 259 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Religions are the largest communities of the global society and claim, at least in the cases of Islam and Christianity, to be universal interpretations of life and orders of existence. With the globalization of the world economy and the unity of the global society in the Internet, they gain unprecedented access to the entire human race through modern means of communication. At the same time, this globalization brings religions into conflict with one another in their claims to universal validity. How can the conflict of religions be defused? The speculative, philosophical method of dealing...

Still, life is eventful and stressful, and he soon forgets the glimmer of belief he felt. That is, until he goes for a walk on a beach, and begins to understand something of eternity. On this lonely... The power of nature in the waves, the wind, the water, and the sun

Religion, Interpret. & Diversity
ISBN: 9780865545410 / Angielski / Miękka / 220 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Often different religious traditions offer very different pictures of the world. In fact, religions are so fascinating partly because they present alternative pictures of the nature of time, space, persons, food, community, life, death, and so on. How are we to make sense of this radical diversity of belief? The most common response is to say that religions are alternative conceptual frameworks or schemes, whose categories organize experience in sometimes diverse ways. On this view of the framework model of religious belief we cannot map religious frameworks onto a single, comprehensive grid...

The results show that conservative Protestant youth are generally more satisfied, family-oriented and sociable than liberal Protestant youth,...

Description: An Apology for Apologetics argues that a vigorous apologetics is a vital component of any sound effort at interreligious dialogue. Griffiths shows that a spirited defense of each religious tradition must be made by people who are both committed to their "truth" and open to serious criticisms by members of other faith traditions. He demonstrates why and how such a recognition of the necessity of interreligious apologetics (the "NOIA principle") runs counter to the underlying presuppositions of many proponents of interreligious dialogue. Griffiths raises the specter of an...

ISBN: 9780521046695 / Angielski / Miękka / 236 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Body Divine explores the ways in which two spiritual teachers, one Christian (Teilhard de Chardin) and one Hindu (R DEGREESD=am DEGREESD=anuja) have seen the world as inherently divine, and have presented this insight theologically through the use of a symbol, that of the "body of the divine" (the body of Christ/Brahman). In a careful study of their beliefs, Dr. Hunt Overzee shows how both thinkers came to understand reality in terms of consciousness, believing that salvation/release is realized through attaining the Lord. This goal is approximated through a changed view of things, in...

The Book of Imaginary Indians: Ancient Traditions and Modern Caricatures In the White Man's Quest For Meaning
ISBN: 9780595435036 / Angielski / Miękka / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Mathematicians often use imaginary numbers to compute formulas that cannot be completed with real numbers. In the same way, modern philosophers and religious leaders sometimes use the imaginary philosophies of imaginary Indians to form a basis for their own profound and spiritual systems of thought. "The Book of Imaginary Indians" examines several such philosophies, focusing especially on Joseph Smith's "Book of Mormon" and Hyemeyohsts Storm's "Seven Arrows." It then examines what some actual Indians believe in and why that should matter to non-Indians who want to use Indian philosophies as a...

ISBN: 9780742562493 / Angielski / Twarda / 268 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In the Bible, there is a drama of defining who are truly God's people--and who are not. Using an array of biblical texts from both the Hebrew Bible and the New Testament, Not God's People explores how ancient Jews and Christians created their own identity in relation to others.

Not God's People asks questions such as: How is the outsider defined? Is the ideal insider defined as the opposite of...
