Book Synopsis Spiritual Religion by : James Drummond

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Spiritual Religion: Sermons on Christian Faith and Life Tiiis little volume is offered to the public as a very lowly contribution towards the settlement of some of the great religious questions which are agitated at the present day. If in these Sermons the thoughtful reader should miss the completeness and severity of argument which he might properly demand in an elaborate treatise, it is hoped that he will find some compensation in the greater vividness with which the connection between truth and the ordinary life of men may be presented in that form of composition which is intended primarily to influence the affections and conduct.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Religious Life and Thought The following observations on Religious Life and Thought, although appearing in the popular form of Sermons, and printed as they were delivered from week to week to my own Congrega tion, and having the slightness of structure that such communi cations require, are not hasty expressions of opinion. They are portions of a deliberately formed body of opinion. The concep tions of religion to be found in them have been elaborated at leisure. The statement of these conceptions is often made with little enough leisure; but I wish it to be distinctly understood that the Sermons do not set forth tentative essays at the solution of a great problem. I would rather that they were looked upon as sundry efforts to familiarize the public mind with results at which I have myself arrived after many years of special study. Not that I suppose for a moment that I have seen wholly round the subject treated of. I know it too well to entertain any such notion. I can honestly make use of words of Kant, applied by him to another subject of inquiry: Alle Aufgaben aufib'sen.

Book Synopsis Public Religions in the Modern World by : José Casanova
Download or read book Public Religions in the Modern World written by José Casanova and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2011-08-29 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a sweeping reconsideration of the relation between religion and modernity, Jose Casanova surveys the roles that religions may play in the public sphere of modern societies. During the 1980s, religious traditions around the world, from Islamic fundamentalism to Catholic liberation theology, began making their way, often forcefully, out of the private sphere and into public life, causing the "deprivatization" of religion in contemporary life. No longer content merely to administer pastoral care to individual souls, religious institutions are challenging dominant political and social forces, raising questions about the claims of entities such as nations and markets to be "value neutral", and straining the traditional connections of private and public morality. Casanova looks at five cases from two religious traditions (Catholicism and Protestantism) in four countries (Spain, Poland, Brazil, and the United States). These cases challenge postwar—and indeed post-Enlightenment—assumptions about the role of modernity and secularization in religious movements throughout the world. This book expands our understanding of the increasingly significant role religion plays in the ongoing construction of the modern world.
Book Synopsis Religion Returns to the Public Square by : Hugh Heclo
Download or read book Religion Returns to the Public Square written by Hugh Heclo and published by Woodrow Wilson Center Press. This book was released on 2003-02-28 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite talk of a "naked public square," religion has never really lost its place in American public life. As the twenty-first century opened, it was re-emerging in unexpected and paradoxical ways. Religious institutions were considered for expanded roles in welfare and education, at the same time that the limits of religious pluralism—as, for example, in the relation of Islam to American values—became a question of urgent public concern. Religion Returns to the Public Square;Faith and Policy in America explores how and why religion has to be mixed up with American politics. Uncovering philosophical, historical, legal, and social roots of this relationship, these essays go beyond hot-button issues to reflect on the current interactions and future possibilities of religion and politics in America.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Price of Unity I have committed the following pages to the press with much hesitation and some misgivings. They were begun some three or four years ago and then laid aside, as it seemed to me a thankless task to add one more to the many books already written on the subject. Controversial books seem generally to have the effect rather of rousing the animosity of those for whom they have been written, than of convincing them. They look out for flaws in the arguments, and are often disedified by language that sounds harsh in their ears, even though it be used only for the purpose of clear statement of fact, and are antagonized by what appears to them a lack of fairness in the statement of their position. And these books are sure to call forth answers, and thus deepen the antagonism and bitterness, and end, perhaps, in setting people farther apart, rather than in drawing them together.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Christ and International Life Short time ago, when lecturing in a public hall on a subject intimately connected with the religious life of the nation, I referred to what appeared to me the clear teaching of Christ upon that subject. The chairman, at the close of the lecture, said that to explore the teaching of Christ was an arid occupation, as men and women to-day did not look to the past for guidance on modern problems. I am quite sure he was sincere, and am equally sure he was persuaded that this was the only View a really broad-minded man could adopt. Yet, if we reflect for one moment, how narrow, dogmatic, and even ignorant such a statement appears! About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Convent Life: The Meaning of a Religious Vocation The world shines bright for inexperienced eyes, And death seems distant to the gay and strong, And to the youthful heart proud fancies throng, And only present good can nature prize. How, then, shall youth o'er these low vapors rise And climb the upward path, so steep and long? And how, amid earth's sights and sounds of wrong, Walk with pure heart and face raised to the skies? By gazing on the Infinitely Good Whose love must quell or hallow every other, By living in he shadow of the Rood, For He that hangs there is our Elder Brother, Who, dying, gave to us Himself as food, And His own Mother as our nursing Mother.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Christianity and Politics During the last year there has also been fresh recognition of religion as a force in political life; for a century and more there had been a tendency to wave it aside and discard it as no longer a matter of public concern. The persistence of the philanthropists was not indeed wholly forgotten, and Christianity was expected to interfere with the internal affairs of the nation, and to rouse the national conscience on such questions as the sweating of labour and the improvement of hons ing. Apart, however, from social reform, religion seemed to many men to be a matter of private concern, and no one regarded it as entering di rectly into the field of international politics. With the stress and anxiety of war all this is changed, and Christianity has taken its rightful. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Pioneers of Religious Liberty in America written by and published by . This book was released on 2015-06-30 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pioneers of Religious Liberty in America: Being the Great and Thursday Lectures Delivered in Boston in Nineteen Hundred and Three Two hundred and seventy-two years ago, John Cotton, minister of the First Church in Boston, with the co-operation of his ministerial associates, established what soon came to be known as the "Great and Thursday Lecture." This weekly lecture was in colonial times the chief social and religious event in Boston. In 1775 it was discontinued; but at the conclusion of the siege of Boston it was revived, and has since had a continuous existence. It has been the occasion for the discussion of public affairs as well as matters of theological interest. It is probably a unique institution in American life. With the aid of two helpful friends, the American Unitarian Association has been able to unite with the minister and Standing Committee of the First Church to carry forward on this ancient foundation a course of lectures upon Religious Liberty in America. These lectures have attracted so much public interest that they are now published by the Association for larger circulation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Beginnings of Faith and Science NE of the most pleasant reminiscences of my life is that wherever I have lived and labored I have had the confidence and good will of the young people Of the church and community. And this has not come to me as a precious heritage by reason of making too great con cessions, but by taking a deep interest in their future. Six years of my public life have been ardently devoted to collegiate work, and I have had before me hundreds of young men and women, and I have looked into their bright faces with the profoundest hopes for their future. And this interest in them does not lessen with the length ening years. And knowing that there are thousands Of them full of native ability and ambition who can never spend time in college halls, and yet by making diligent use of the helps prepared for their hands may rise to fair prominence and great usefulness. It is mainly these students, in and out of school, I have had specially in mind while preparing these pages. Their student life should begin by securing at least a few grains of truth from him who is the Radium Light of the world. All moral and scientific torches should come to this light for illumination. I regard any person's life as dangerous ly problematical who will purposely leave out Of his life plan a sincere acceptance Of Jesus Christ as his moral teacher and Saviour.

Download or read book Practical View of Prevailing Religious System of Professed Christians written by William Wilberforce and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-08 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Practical View of Prevailing Religious System of Professed Christians: Contrasted With Real Christianity Few undertakings can be much more difficult than to write any thing in the way of introduction to the following work. It requires no introduction. It is a matter of history. It has been read and admired by one generation, is already in the hands of a second, and will soon pass down to a third. It is this last circumstance, indeed, which may perhaps apologize for an attempt, which must otherwise be exposed to the charge of rashness. The young have a right to ask what were the circumstances of the first publication of such an important volume, what the impression which it left on the minds of men, what its connexion with the general interests of religion, what its place in the moral history of our time. To such inquiries, we shall endeavour, in the present Essay, to furnish a reply. We presume not to do more than to assist the reader who shall, for the first time, take up the work, in forming some judgment upon its merits. Our main object will be to illustrate that great revival of the influence of real Christianity amongst us, which it was the Author's design to promote, and which his work was, in fact, one very considerable means of deepening and extending. That eminent and revered person, now retired from public life, will, we trust, forgive us, if, in the discharge of a duty to the paramount interests of religion generally, we are led to speak with entire freedom of his book, and in a way which, however we may be upon our guard will of necessity betray us into details, which our respect for his delicacy of feeling would otherwise compel us to restrain. A retired statesman, after a long life spent in the eye of his country - his name connected with almost every great question which has agitated the church or state - can scarcely be permitted to claim the privileges of private writers: his work belongs, with his other labours, to the Nation to which he has dedicated it, and becomes a portion of the annals of the times. We shall, first, make such remarks as may give the reader what we consider a Just conception of the merits of the work itself. This will lead us to describe the reception which it met with on its first publication. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
