Book Synopsis Religion Explained by : Pascal Boyer
Download or read book Religion Explained written by Pascal Boyer and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2007-03-21 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many of our questions about religion, says the internationally renowned anthropologist Pascal Boyer, were once mysteries, but they no longer are: we are beginning to know how to answer questions such as "Why do people have religion?" and "Why is religion the way it is?" Using findings from anthropology, cognitive science, linguistics, and evolutionary biology, Boyer shows how one of the most fascinating aspects of human consciousness is increasingly admissible to coherent, naturalistic explanation. And Man Creates God tells readers, for the first time, what religious feeling is really about, what it consists of, and how it originates. It is a beautifully written, very accessible book by an anthropologist who is highly respected on both sides of the Atlantic. As a scientific explanation for religious feeling, it is sure to arouse controversy.
Book Synopsis Origen and the Life of the Stars by : Alan B. Scott
Download or read book Origen and the Life of the Stars written by Alan B. Scott and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1991 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the days of antiquity to the time of the Middle Ages, intellectuals have widely assumed that stars were alive, a belief that gave the cosmos an important position not only in Greek religion, but also in discussions of human psychology and eschatology. In the third century AD, the Christian theologian Origen included such Hellenistic theories on the life and nature of the stars in his cosmology, a theory that would have important implications for early Christian theology. Moving through a wide range of Greek, Latin, and Oriental sources from antiquity to medieval times, this is the first thorough treatment of Origen's biblical theology. The second book in the new Oxford Early Christian Studies series, Origen and the Life of the Stars provides a new look at the roots of early Christian thought.

Book Synopsis From Four Royal Persian Stars to Jesus and the Sun by : Eric Norland

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Roughly five thousand years ago, the Persians noticed four stars were located at specific locations along the ecliptic at which the sun would pass in front of during the four seasons. These four stars and their constellations became integrated into the lore and mythology of religion. Th e royal Persian stars then became intertwined with the story of Jesus Christ, the Holy Roman Catholic Church, and St. Peters Basilica. In From Four Royal Persian Stars to Jesus and the Sun, author Eric Norland presents a primer on modern astronomy to show how this relationship developed. A world traveler and amateur astronomer, Norland delivers an explanation about the core of the Christian religion. He discusses the astronomy-related misunderstandings people had long ago, shows how these beliefs became the foundations of Christian religion, and provides an account of how many other religions found their inspiration. With a host of graphics and examples, From Four Royal Persian Stars to Jesus and the Sun digs into the core of religion and explains its early connection to astronomy.
