Book Synopsis Sacred and Secular by : Pippa Norris
Download or read book Sacred and Secular written by Pippa Norris and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2011-10-17 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book develops a theory of existential security. It demonstrates that the publics of virtually all advanced industrial societies have been moving toward more secular orientations during the past half century, but also that the world as a whole now has more people with traditional religious views than ever before. This second edition expands the theory and provides new and updated evidence from a broad perspective and in a wide range of countries. This confirms that religiosity persists most strongly among vulnerable populations, especially in poorer nations and in failed states. Conversely, a systematic erosion of religious practices, values and beliefs has occurred among the more prosperous strata in rich nations.

Book Synopsis Our Sacred Source by : Andrew Kneier
Download or read book Our Sacred Source written by Andrew Kneier and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2021-01-05 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Life is not a cakewalk for any of us. We each have our individual sufferings and challenges in life, and we each must endure vital questions that have no certain answers. Why are we here? Where is God when we need him? How do our lives matter in the long run? Our science cannot help us with such questions, but theology can. And that’s what this book has to offer. This book’s theology is based on an arresting theory about God. Turning to modern physics, it finds God in the origin of the universe and in the innermost foundations of the natural world. The universe flowed from his nature, but his nature was not perfect, which is why we have an imperfect world where bad things happen to good people. And yet we also find this God deep within us, enabling us to confront our suffering with resilience and grace. The evil in the world has power, but we have power too, the power from our inner God to hold steady against the slings and arrows of our misfortunes. The theology presented here builds on the discoveries of particle physics and quantum mechanics about the foundational building blocks and forces in all of creation. These reveal the abounding spirit and purposes of the Creator—a spirit that empowers us and instills in us purposes we can embrace and foster. It may seem we are essentially on our own as we navigate through life, but in this book’s theology, God is always and everywhere with us and in us.
Book Synopsis Sacred Source by : Richard H. Freeman Allan
Download or read book Sacred Source written by Richard H. Freeman Allan and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 473 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Richard "Freeman" Allan, JBL/Sacred Source founder, has written an energetic, inspirational multicultural adventure story. Freeman's highly personal memoir celebrates the reader's and his own inner and outward life journeys. Boyhood as son of an Iwo Jima hero, challenges presented by Vietnam, feminism and the civil rights awakenings, unique initiations, primitive trekking on foot and by canoe, dangers in far places, spiritual epiphanies and mentoring by more than a dozen Great Souls are among the elements of this compelling narrative. An ancient Mazatecan shaman, a breatharian who has not eaten in sixty-one years, an illiterate sharecropper who transmits Green Man wisdom, gurus both authentic and fallen, the Kommandant of Dachau and other warriors, a stigmatic who bears the wounds of Christ, primitive Incan fishermen, Mother Teresa of Calcutta, these are among the Guides who shaped the author's life, and led him to the Goddess Kali. Spiritual, sexual, family, racial, economic and environmental themes propel the reader toward Balance and Partnership with the feminine force half-forgotten by our modern world. In the face of climate collapse in the next generation, we are led to decisions for change that can heal the Earth and all her threatened species . . . including our own.--publisher website.
Download or read book Our Sacred Signs written by Ori Soltes and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2005-11-01 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The art of the three Abrahamic religions—Christianity, Judaism, and Islam—has a tangled, interwoven history. Symbols cross back and forth among the three faiths, adapted to reflect that faith's specific spiritual needs. And much of this symbolic language predates any of the Abrahamic faiths entirely.In Our Sacred Signs, Ori Soltes traces the interconnectedness of religious symbols such as the Star of David, which isn't, it turns out, exclusive to Judaism at all. He shows that the various ways that Jesus is portrayed on the cross recall an artistic tradition that is in no way unique to Christianity. And he shows that religious architectural conventions as simple as the dome represent early “pagan” traditions.The narrative—essentially a series of overlapping stories—moves through the halls of museums and off to the holy sites of the three religions, tracing the millennia-long artistic trail that has endured even as the West moved toward secularization in the last three hundred years.Soltes shows us how art has long been used as an instrument to take us where words cannot follow. Our Sacred Signs is a breathtaking and revelatory journey through human history, its gods, and its art.

Book Synopsis Sexuality and the Sacred by : James B. Nelson
Download or read book Sexuality and the Sacred written by James B. Nelson and published by Westminster John Knox Press. This book was released on 1994-01-01 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is rooted in two convictions: first, sexuality is far more comprehensive and more fundamental to our existence than simply genital sex, and, second, sexuality is intended by God to be neither incidental nor detrimintal to our spirituality but a fully integrated and basic dimension of that spirituality. The authors address what our sexual experience reveals about God, the ways we understand the gospel, and the ways we read scripture and tradition and attempt to live faithfully.

Book Synopsis The Invention of the Land of Israel by : Shlomo Sand
Download or read book The Invention of the Land of Israel written by Shlomo Sand and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2012-11-20 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is a homeland and when does it become a national territory? Why have so many people been willing to die for such places throughout the twentieth century? What is the essence of the Promised Land? Following the acclaimed and controversial The Invention of the Jewish People, Shlomo Sand examines the mysterious sacred land that has become the site of the longest-running national struggle of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. The Invention of the Land of Israel deconstructs the age-old legends surrounding the Holy Land and the prejudices that continue to suffocate it. Sand’s account dissects the concept of “historical right” and tracks the creation of the modern concept of the “Land of Israel” by nineteenth-century Evangelical Protestants and Jewish Zionists. This invention, he argues, not only facilitated the colonization of the Middle East and the establishment of the State of Israel; it is also threatening the existence of the Jewish state today.

Book Synopsis Receptacle of the Sacred by : Jinah Kim
Download or read book Receptacle of the Sacred written by Jinah Kim and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2013-04-12 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In considering medieval illustrated Buddhist manuscripts as sacred objects of cultic innovation, Receptacle of the Sacred explores how and why the South Asian Buddhist book-cult has survived for almost two millennia to the present. A book “manuscript” should be understood as a form of sacred space: a temple in microcosm, not only imbued with divine presence but also layered with the memories of many generations of users. Jinah Kim argues that illustrating a manuscript with Buddhist imagery not only empowered it as a three-dimensional sacred object, but also made it a suitable tool for the spiritual transformation of medieval Indian practitioners. Through a detailed historical analysis of Sanskrit colophons on patronage, production, and use of illustrated manuscripts, she suggests that while Buddhism’s disappearance in eastern India was a slow and gradual process, the Buddhist book-cult played an important role in sustaining its identity. In addition, by examining the physical traces left by later Nepalese users and the contemporary ritual use of the book in Nepal, Kim shows how human agency was critical in perpetuating and intensifying the potency of a manuscript as a sacred object throughout time.
