Download or read book Why Did Jesus, Moses, the Buddha and Mohammed Cross the Road? written by Brian D. McLaren and published by Hachette UK. This book was released on 2012-09-27 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christians and Muslims together make up about 57% of the world's population today, and by the end of the century they will constitute about 66% of the world's population. More than any other single factor, the wellbeing of our children and grandchildren may depend on how well Christians learn to relate to Muslims - and Hindus, the next largest faith, not to mention Buddhists, Jews, people of indigenous faiths, and the nonreligious. We know how to have a strong Christian identity that is intolerant of or belligerent towards other faiths, and we know how to have a weak Christian identity that is tolerant and benevolent. But is there a third alternative? How do we discover, live, teach, and practise a Christian identity that is both strong and benevolent towards other faiths?In this provocative and inspiring book, author Brian McLaren tackles some of the hardest questions around the issue of interfaith relations, and shares a hopeful vision of the reconciliation that Jesus offers to our multi-faith world.

Book Synopsis Mohammed, Buddha, and Christ by : Marcus Dods
Download or read book Mohammed, Buddha, and Christ written by Marcus Dods and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-11 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you like firebrand ministers delivering strongly worded sermons, then you'll want to dive in to Mohammed, Buddha, and Christ: Four Lectures on Natural and Revealed Religion by Marcus Dods, a theologian and professor of New College in Edinburgh. This book presents four of his lectures about Mohammed, Buddha and Christ and the religions they founded, but the book is not a comparative study of the respective practices of the three great religions. In keeping with his position in the United Free Church of Scotland, Dods forcefully argues for the moral superiority of Christianity. Dods presents two lectures on Islam. Some religious practices of Islam are discussed and praised, like regularity of prayer, almsgiving, and religious holidays. But most of the two lectures is devoted to things that Dods finds deficient about the religion. Dods is critical of the concept of Paradise and criticizes polygamy and marriage laws. He also condemns Mohammed's treatment of women. The second lecture on Islam begins with a brief historical review of the religions of Arabia. He offers the opinions of philosophers like Voltaire and Carlyle and then vigorously disagrees with them. He writes that there is little to admire about Mohammed, and declares the religion was spread by violence and conquest rather than due to positive virtues. However, Dods does praise Islamic contributions to art and literature. Dods is more circumspect about Buddhism. He describes the religion as one that is not devoted to a supernatural deity, and devotes several pages to relating the compelling story of Buddha's life . He praises Buddhists for their charitable natures, which he feels are similar to the ethics of Christians, however, Dods considers Buddhist philosophies as atheistic and leading to polytheism. The lecture on Christianity is entitled "The Perfect Religion." Dods sets up his argument by discussing what makes a religion real, true and the product of divine revelation. He concludes that Christianity is the one true religion and ends the book by surmising that the Arabs are too barbaric to properly receive Christian missionaries. These lectures contain arguments that will be shocking to some modern readers, while at the same time, some of Dods' arguments are still debated today. Mohammed, Buddha and Christ: Four Lectures on Natural and Revealed Religion is probably most useful to readers as a snapshot of Christian thought about other religions in 19th Century Europe.

Book Synopsis Why Did Jesus, Moses, the Buddha, and Mohammed Cross the Road? by : Brian D. McLaren
Download or read book Why Did Jesus, Moses, the Buddha, and Mohammed Cross the Road? written by Brian D. McLaren and published by Jericho Books. This book was released on 2013-09-10 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When four religious leaders walk across the road, it's not the beginning of a joke. It's the start of one of the most important conversations in today's world. Can you be a committed Christian without having to condemn or convert people of other faiths? Is it possible to affirm other religious traditions without watering down your own? In his most important book yet, widely acclaimed author and speaker Brian McLaren proposes a new faith alternative, one built on "benevolence and solidarity rather than rivalry and hostility." This way of being Christian is strong but doesn't strong-arm anyone, going beyond mere tolerance to vigorous hospitality toward, interest in, and collaboration with the other. Blending history, narrative, and brilliant insight, McLaren shows readers step-by-step how to reclaim this strong-benevolent faith, challenging us to stop creating barriers in the name of God and learn how affirming other religions can strengthen our commitment to our own. And in doing so, he invites Christians to become more Christ-like than ever before.
