Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contrary to what is suggested in media and popular discourses, Europe is neither a monolithic entity nor simply a collection of nation states. It is, rather, a union of millions of individuals who differ from one another in a variety of ways while also sharing many characteristics associated with their ethnic, social, political, economic, religious or national characteristics. This book explores differences and similarities that exist in attitudes, beliefs and opinions on a range of issues across Europe. Drawing on the extensive data of the European Social Survey, it presents insightful analyses of social attitudes, organised around the themes of religious identity, political identity, family identity and social identity, together with a section on methodological issues. A collection of rigorously analysed studies on national, comparative and pan-European levels, Values and Identities in Europe offers insight into the heart and soul of Europe at a time of unprecedented change. As such, it will appeal to scholars across the social sciences with interests in social attitudes, social change in Europe, demographics and survey methods.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a spontaneously wide-ranging conversation one winter evening in Japan, sociologist of religion Bryan Wilson and Buddhist philosopher Daisaku Ikeda recognized the importance of explaining and learning about their respective worldviews. "Human Values in a Changing World" is the record of their further exchanges on how they see the religious response to the human condition. Their contrasting approaches - one, as an academic, and the other, as a lay Buddhist - allow for a constructive critique of preconceptions otherwise unexamined in their own cultural contexts."There is an intimate connection between faith and the fruits of commitment," Wilson says at one point. To which Ikeda responds that while the benefits of faith to momentary happiness are perhaps not the core value of a religion, they can inspire and lead people to become aware of that core value or fundamental truth. The two men's observations on the origins of religious sensibilities move from the spiritual and the moral to the politics of private and public life. Although published some years ago, "Human Values in a Changing World" addresses topics and issues which are of perennial importance to human flourishing, including: sexual morality, the limits of tolerance and religious freedom, the future of the family, the belief in an afterlife, and the idea of sin.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We glorify religion calling it the watchdog of our culture. Yet we conveniently make it a scapegoat on which we heap our mistakes and failings. To the claim that religion is not necessary, Pujya Gurudev Swami Chinmayananda states that we do not kill the patient, but rather cure the illness! As one of the participants on the dialogue 'Religion and Human Values' Swami Chinmayananda shows us how religion has consistently survived onslaughts down the labyrinth of time. He asserts, “If philosophy gives us the ideal, religion can give us the training to express these values in life.” Read and reflect…

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exam Revision from the year 2019 in the subject Philosophy - Miscellaneous, Islamic University College Ghana, course: RELIGION AND HUMAN VALUES, language: English, abstract: This course examines the basic human values in selected religions around the globe. It projects some acceptable and non-acceptable values within society; and guides to the role of religion in each of these values. Human values are social and ethical norms common to all cultures and societies as well as religions. By helping social norms to be internalized, values are indirectly sources of relationship behaviour. Likewise, cultural traditions, religion and language have different meanings that shape beliefs and influence social life. Thus, it seems important to reevaluate the role of values in social life in a society which is extremely distinguishable in religious terms. They represent a melding of social progress, justice and spiritual growth. Practices are also time-bound, dictating how you should dress, what name you are to take, what you can eat, how many wives you may have, how a person should be punished if they make some mistake. In all traditions you find practices like these that were necessary at the time they were instituted, but they may no longer serve a good purpose today. In the Qur'an, it is prescribed that if someone steals, their hand must be cut off. At one time a Christian who wanted to be religious had to take a vow of poverty. Jains were not allowed to touch money (this dilemma was solved by having someone accompany them to carry their money for them). Jews could do no work on the Sabbath. Those who follow this rule today cannot turn on a light switch.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection vigorously addresses the religious implications of extreme human enhancement technology. Topics covered include cutting edge themes, such as moral enhancement, common ground to both transhumanism and religion, the meaning of death, desire and transcendence, and virtue ethics. Radical enhancement programs, advocated by transhumanists, could arguably have a more profound impact than any other development in human history. Reflecting a range of opinion about the desirability of extreme enhancement, leading scholars in the field join with emerging scholars to foster enhanced conversation on these topics.

This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume brings together three key and contested areas facing educationalists within schools, colleges and universities: values education, religious education and human rights education. Challenges and opportunities within each of these three areas may be illuminated and explored by bringing them into creative dialogue. These core constructs were explored in a recent seminar convened by the International Seminar on Religious Education and Values, the leading international association for religious educators and values educators across the world. This volume presents twenty-one key contributions made to the seminar, spanning both conceptual and empirical perspectives and rooted in both religious and secular traditions. It draws together a unique collection of international perspectives on the interlocking themes of values, human rights and religious education.

This book was released on 2012-05-31 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This second edition of the Oguaa Journal of Religion and Human Values covers very important issues for consideration in academia and for the development of society. The issue of salvation in world religions has been an issue for centuries. The so called monotheistic religions for example, have laid an almost exclusive claim to salvation. Chiedozie Okoro challenges this assumption. He argues that African indigenous conceptions of salvation are more inclusive and hold a better key to understanding salvation than the so called monotheistic religions. Cremation is one of the forms by which humans dispose of the dead. However, among the Mafi-Ewe of Ghana, cremation means more than mere disposal of a dead body. It is a form of punishment that the society metes out to people who were believed to have committed a heinous crime during their lifetime. And what could be more heinous than taking human life? Harry Agbanu examines the concept of cremation among the Mafi-Ewe, which is called amememe and its significance for the people as they deal with the realities of crime and death. For Islam, seeking of knowledge is part of worship and the first Qur'anic commandment that the Prophet of Islam received was a commandment to seek knowledge. Subsequently, the Prophet instructed his followers to seek knowledge even if they might travel to China. Abdulsalam Hashir argues that, there is no excuse for not educating a child. He provides a framework for education within Islam, which will help raise all rounded children with a sound moral character. There is the general notion that women are marginalised and often at the periphery of decision making in Africa. Using the Akan as an example, Vincent Assanful proves that the notion that women are at the periphery of decision making in Africa is not entirely true. He uses the Obaahemaa's Stool as a concept that clearly explains the power and authority that women hold in some African societies. In "Salvation in Catholicism & Islam: A Challenge for Better Human Relations in Nigeria," Patrick U. Nwosu argues that we can exploit the concept of salvation to promote peaceful co-existence among Christians and Muslims in Africa and the rest of the world. Augustine Mary-Mensah takes up the issue of interpretation. Interpretation is at the heart of most religions. Every interaction with scripture is an opportunity for interpretation. How people behave and act within the religious sphere depends on their understanding of scripture. Translations have often provided the source for understanding scripture, since most adherents of world faiths cannot read and understand texts in the original languages of the religions that they profess. Mary-Mensah argues that mistranslations can render a totally different meaning to scripture, other than its canonical intent. He uses the death of Rachel in the Bible to amply demonstrate this point. This second edition of the Oguaa Journal of Religion and Human Values is a must read for academics, students and policy makers alike. It has an important wealth of resource for shaping the future of African societies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the1950s the world has witnessed a period of extraordinary religious revival in which religious political parties and non-governmental organizations have gained power around the globe. At the same time, the international community has come to focus on the challenge of promoting global human security. This groundbreaking book explores how these trends are interacting. In theoretical essays and case studies from Turkey, Egypt, Pakistan, the Americas, Africa and Europe, the contributors address such crucial questions as: Under what circumstances do religiously motivated actors advance or harm human welfare? Do certain state policies tend to promote security-enhancing behavior among religious groups? The book concludes by providing important suggestions to policymakers about how to factor the influence of religion into their evaluation of a population's human security and into programs designed to improve human security around the globe.

This book was released on 2016-05-11 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This third edition of the Oguaa Journal of Religion and Human Values deals with topics that border on the very existence of humans and of the relevance of their spirituality. The issue of the environment has become key in global governance. In "The Deficit of Environmental Leadership in Africa & Its Implication for Theological Education in the 21st Century" Ben-Willie Kwaku Golo outlines some roots of our enduring environmental malaise in Africa and explores their correlations with the problem of leadership. He further explores some theological, ethical and social issues that necessitate theological concern and their implications for theological education as a response. Finally, he offers some approaches to theological education for environmental leadership in the 21st century Africa. "Every soul shall taste of death," so states the Qur'an. Death ceremonies are therefore an important part of human societies and the way societies treat their dead is one of the distinguishing features of societies. In "Celebrating the Dead: A Phenomenological Study of Janazah Practice Among Selected Muslim Organisations in Osun State, Nigeria," R.I Adebayo explores the different ways that various Muslim groups in the Osun State conduct the Islamic ceremony of the dead, known as janazah. It is interesting how people of the same faith, in this case, Islam, differ in their treatment of the dead. In "Reclaiming Eve: A Re-Reading of Humanity's Origin (Genesis 2 & 3)" Augustine Mary-Mensah challenges the long held belief that Eve is the source of evil and that her singular action triggered humankind's fall from the garden of Eden. Indeed this belief has been partly responsible for the second rate treatment of women in society. Using the very same biblical verses that have demonized Eve, Mary-Mensah shows that we can re-read the bible with gender neutral lenses that will put both Eve and Adam on an even keel and make them equally culpable with respect to the fall from grace. Contextualisation of Jesus and the Bible are important subjects for both practitioners of Christianity and academics. Oftentimes people characterize Islam and Christianity as "foreign religions" which have no grounding on the nature and culture of African societies. Again, when academics discuss Africa, the temptation is to lump all African societies together as if they shared everything in common. So instead of talking about Ga or Asante or Nzema belief, people talk about "African belief." Prof. Anum shows that the Christian faith and Jesus as a liberating figure can be as relevant for the Ga as it can be for any other African people. He shows that the Ga people have a different conception of ancestral worship and which can be grounded in their Christian faith differently from what pertains among the Akan. The issue of the source of indigenous African morality is a vexed one. While some would want to ascribe only religious considerations to what is morally acceptable, permissible, obligatory and desirable in indigenous African societies, others are of the view that there are other equally important factors involved in the determination of African morality. This third edition of the Oguaa Journal of Religion and Human Values is a must read for academics, students and policy makers alike. It has an important wealth of resource for shaping the future of African societies.

Maslow here articulates one of his prominent theses: the "religious" experience is a rightful subject for scientific investigation and speculation and, conversely, the "scientific community" will see its work enhanced by acknowledging and studying the species-wide need for spiritual expression which, in so many forms, is at the heart of "peak-experiences" reached by healthy, fully functioning people.
