The Discipline of Religion: Structure, Meaning, Rhetoric
ISBN: 9780415274906 / Angielski / Miękka / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Discipline of Religion is a lively critical journey through religious studies today, looking at its recent growth as an academic discipline, and its contemporary political and social meanings. Focusing on the differences between religious belief and academic religious discourse, Russell T. McCutcheon argues that the invention of religion as a discipline blurs the distinction between criticism and doctrine in its assertion of the relevance of faith as a credible object of study. In the leap from disciplinary criticism to avowal of actual cosmic and moral meaning, schools of...

ISBN: 9780415277556 / Angielski / Miękka / 464 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. New religious movements such as Scientology, the Jehovah's Witnesses and the Unification Church (Moonies) are now well established in mainstream cultural consciousness. But responses to these "cult" groups still tend to be overwhelmingly negative, characterized by the furious reactions that they evoke from majority interests. Modern societies need to learn how to respond to such movements, and how to interpret their benefits and dangers.
"Researching New Religious Movements" provides a fresh look at the history and development of "anti cult" groups, and the response of mainstream churches...

Rationality and the Study of Religion
ISBN: 9780415281997 / Angielski / Miękka / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Religion, possibly the most fanciful and certainly the most subjective domain of human behaviour, has particular challenges associated with its study. Attracting crowd healers, conjurers, the pious and the prophetic alongside comparativists and sceptics, it excites opinions and generalizations, whilst seldom explicitly staking out the territory for the discussions and means of knowledge in which it partakes. Increasingly, serious scholars argue that religious study needs to define and critique its own field, to distinguish itself from theology and other non-objective disciplines. Yet how do...

Julian of Norwich: Mystic or Visionary?
ISBN: 9780415360531 / Angielski / Twarda / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. "Julian of Norwich" was a fourteenth-century woman who at the age of thirty had a series of vivid visions centered on the crucified Christ, twenty years later while living as an anchoress in a church she is believed to have set out her visions in a text called the Showing of Love. The trend in modern scholarship is to place Julian in the category of mystic rather than visionary, a classification which defines her visions as deeply private, psychological events. This book instead sets Julian's thinking in the context of a visionary project which she used to instruct the Christian community....

ISBN: 9780520236141 / Angielski / Miękka / 314 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. "Gold has cleverly managed to write an important new genealogy for the history of religions, and like any good genealogist, he sets out to resolve a shadow in our ancestry. The issue at hand is not science versus disguised theory or imagination, but the blessed union between a vital science and a keen sense of the aesthetics of religiohistorical writing. This is a ground-breaking work, essential reading for scholars and students of religion."--Joanne Punzo Waghorne, Professor of Religious Studies, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and co-editor of "Gods of Flesh, Gods of Stone: The...
