Religious beliefs and attitudes have long been recognized as playing an important role in sexual functioning, but the relationship between religion and sexual behavior has rarely been studied in a comprehensive way. The essays in this volume bring the views of sex counsellors, therapists. theologians, and bioethicists to bear on the relationship between religion and sexuality. A major theme emerging from these essays is that religion and counselling need to learn from one another. Religious traditions, at the popular or theological levels, are often marked by ignorance and misinformation...

Transforming Exclusion is concerned with the interface between the study of religion & theology and issues surrounding exclusion.

ISBN: 9781453845189 / Angielski / Miękka / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The very Bible which Christians read refers to their founder as The Prince of Peace. Despite this, many Christians support warmongering and unnecessary bloodshed rather than peace making. In a room for 7 hours with a radical Muslim, Taylor shares the story from his face to face encounter, of how many Muslims view the United States of America and the state of the Christian Church. It is one thing to look at Christianity from a Christian's perspective, but things change quite a bit when Christianity is viewed through the eyes of Muslims. Taylor says, their view is one every Christian must hear....

Like most Christian denominations, the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) has struggled with the issue of same-sex relationships.

Not everyone agreed, and Cleveland Meeting was disowned from the larger body of Ohio Yearly Meeting (Conservative). Rather than providing a narrative this book...

Guided by the Faith of Christ
ISBN: 9780971667648 / Angielski / Miękka / 202 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Though many people believe that humanity is doomed to be mired in violence, Kaufman argues that the Judeo-Christian offers a path toward peaceful, harmonious coexistence among humans and between humans and the rest of creation, including animals. The book first analyzes the sources of human violence and scapegoating and then compares insights from the social sciences (particularly the works of Ernest Becker and Rene Girard) to the biblical accounts. In pursuit of self-esteem, humans often find themselves in conflict with each other, which results in crises that threaten to tear communities...

Every Creature a Word of God
ISBN: 9780971667631 / Angielski / Miękka / 172 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. What does a spirituality that affirms God 's love for all creatures look like? Borrowing from a breadth of sources, including the Bible and Christian monks, mystics, sages, and saints, Annika Spalde and Pelle Strindlund show that God 's compassion is the core Christian message. Perhaps the book 's most compelling argument resides in Spalde 's and Strindlund 's own activism.

On several occasions, they and their companions have openly liberated animals...

One of the best-kept secrets of Judaism and Christianity is that both religions have rich traditions favoring vegetarianism.

This book is more than a compendium of writings and sayings of a wide range of writers and teachers from Jewish and Christian traditions. Murti offers discussion and context that enrich the myriad quotations. The core values and teachings of these faiths, Murti concludes, encourage plant-based eating.
