Book Synopsis The Evolution of Religion, Religiosity and Theology by : Jay R. Feierman
Download or read book The Evolution of Religion, Religiosity and Theology written by Jay R. Feierman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-09-11 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book takes a multi-dimensional and multi-disciplinary approach to religion, religiosity and theology from their earliest beginnings to the present day. It uniquely brings together the natural sciences and theology to explore how religious practice emerged and developed through the four sections into which the book is organized: Evolutionary biology; Philosophical linguistics, psychology and neuroscience; Theology and Anthropology. The volume features an international panel of contributors who develop an innovative picture of religion as a culturally-created social institution; religiosity as a more personal and subjective anthropological element of people expressed through religion; and theology as the study of god. To survive in changing times, living systems — a good characterization of religion, religiosity and theology — all must adaptively evolve. This is a vital study of a rapidly burgeoning field. As such, it will be of great interest to scholars in religious studies and theology as well as in the psychological, sociological, and anthropological study of religion.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Religion in Evolution These four lectures were delivered in the Vacation Term for Biblical Study at Cambridge, and are printed at the request of those who heard them. In Lecture I. I accept the statement of Mr Howitt in his "Native Tribes of Southeast Australia" that the South-eastern tribes who believe in an All-father are socially more advanced than the Northern tribes, who, according to Messrs Spencer and Gillen, have no "belief of any kind in a supreme Being who rewards or punishes the individual according to his moral behaviour." At the time of writing I had not seen Mr A. Lang's letter to Folk-Lore (xvi. 2, pp. 221-224), in which he argues, against Mr Howitt, that the majority of the South-eastern tribes "are in the more primitive form of social organisation."

This book was released on 2014-05-01 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1924, this title explores the schools of religious thought and practice that sprung up towards the end of the nineteenth century and at the start of the twentieth: sects, mystics and spiritualists, theological sciences and scientific theologies, personal philosophies, and a huge range of new trajectories of thought within the established forms of Western European Christianity. In particular, the author explores the numerous ways in which ‘Eastern’ religious traditions, or at least spiritual patterns deriving inspiration from the Orient, gained a foothold among seekers in the West at a time of optimism and belief in progress.
Book Synopsis Deeper Than Drawin by : John F. Haught
Download or read book Deeper Than Drawin written by John F. Haught and published by . This book was released on 2005-10-01 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his book God After Darwin,Ó Haught argued that religious belief is wholly compatible with evolutionary biology. Now, he says that, while Darwin's vision is essentially correct, religious belief is even more revealing about life than Darwinism. Looks at the question of how religions may plausibly claim to be bearers of truth & not just of meaning. While he assumes the fundamental correctness of evolutionary biology, he firmly rejects the non-scientific belief that evolutionary biology amounts to an adequate explanation of living phenomena. Darwinism is illuminating, but it does not tell us everything we need to know about life. To find the deepest understandings of life & the universe, we may still profitably consult the religions of the world.

Book Synopsis The Emergence of Religion in Human Evolution by : Margaret Boone Rappaport
Download or read book The Emergence of Religion in Human Evolution written by Margaret Boone Rappaport and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book uses a multidisciplinary approach to describe millions of years of biological innovations that eventually give rise to the modern trait and its varied expression in humanity's many religions. Religious capacity is a highly elaborate, neurocognitive human trait that has a solid evolutionary foundation. The authors present a scientific model and a central thesis that the brain organs, networks, and capacities that allowed humans to survive physically also gave our species the ability to create theologies, find sustenance in religious practice, and use religion to support the social group. Yet, the trait of religious capacity remains non-obligatory, like reading and mathematics. The individual can choose not to use it. The approach relies on research findings in nine disciplines, including the work of countless neuroscientists, paleoneurologists, archaeologists, cognitive scientists, and psychologists. This is a cutting-edge examination of the evolutionary origins of humanity's interaction with the supernatural. It will be of keen interest to academics working in Religious Studies, Neuroscience, Cognitive Science, Anthropology, Evolutionary Biology, and Psychology"--

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New York Times Book Review Editors’ Choice An ABC Australia Best Book on Religion and Ethics of the Year Distinguished Book Award, Sociology of Religion Section of the American Sociological Association Religion in Human Evolution is a work of extraordinary ambition—a wide-ranging, nuanced probing of our biological past to discover the kinds of lives that human beings have most often imagined were worth living. It offers what is frequently seen as a forbidden theory of the origin of religion that goes deep into evolution, especially but not exclusively cultural evolution. “Of Bellah’s brilliance there can be no doubt. The sheer amount this man knows about religion is otherworldly...Bellah stands in the tradition of such stalwarts of the sociological imagination as Emile Durkheim and Max Weber. Only one word is appropriate to characterize this book’s subject as well as its substance, and that is ‘magisterial.’” —Alan Wolfe, New York Times Book Review “Religion in Human Evolution is a magnum opus founded on careful research and immersed in the ‘reflective judgment’ of one of our best thinkers and writers.” —Richard L. Wood, Commonweal
