Book Synopsis Losing My Religion by : William Lobdell
Download or read book Losing My Religion written by William Lobdell and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2009-03-06 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: William Lobdell's journey of faith—and doubt—may be the most compelling spiritual memoir of our time. Lobdell became a born-again Christian in his late 20s when personal problems—including a failed marriage—drove him to his knees in prayer. As a newly minted evangelical, Lobdell—a veteran journalist—noticed that religion wasn't covered well in the mainstream media, and he prayed for the Lord to put him on the religion beat at a major newspaper. In 1998, his prayers were answered when the Los Angeles Times asked him to write about faith. Yet what happened over the next eight years was a roller-coaster of inspiration, confusion, doubt, and soul-searching as his reporting and experiences slowly chipped away at his faith. While reporting on hundreds of stories, he witnessed a disturbing gap between the tenets of various religions and the behaviors of the faithful and their leaders. He investigated religious institutions that acted less ethically than corrupt Wall St. firms. He found few differences between the morals of Christians and atheists. As this evidence piled up, he started to fear that God didn't exist. He explored every doubt, every question—until, finally, his faith collapsed. After the paper agreed to reassign him, he wrote a personal essay in the summer of 2007 that became an international sensation for its honest exploration of doubt. Losing My Religion is a book about life's deepest questions that speaks to everyone: Lobdell understands the longings and satisfactions of the faithful, as well as the unrelenting power of doubt. How he faced that power, and wrestled with it, is must reading for people of faith and nonbelievers alike.

Book Synopsis Faith-based Radicalism by : Christiane Timmerman
Download or read book Faith-based Radicalism written by Christiane Timmerman and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2007 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Terror attacks against Western symbols of power, suicide terrorism in Chechnya, or bombing of abortion clinics in the United States: these are a few of the violent religious outbursts that the media never seem to stop broadcasting. While these outbursts are mostly linked to Islamic extremism, it should however be acknowledged that every religion has its own violent side. Despite all the events the media are too prompt to show us, it would be dishonest and insensible not to accept that every religion has also a potential for religious peace building and communal renewal. How, can it be explained then, that religions sometimes react violently against the society surrounding them by trying to overthrow it, while at some other times they willingly help and try to build a better world for everyone? The University Centre Saint-Ignatius Antwerp organised an interdisciplinary summer seminar in September 2005 and gathered senior scholars - all experts in their own fields - and junior scholars - who will be the experts of tomorrow - from all over the world, to discuss these burning issues. The seminar focused on miscellaneous topics all pointing towards the question of religion and society; like literalism and the Holy texts, the ambivalence of faith-based radicalism, the psychology of religion and terrorism, nationalism and religion and religious social movements. - Publisher.
Book Synopsis Disciples of Destruction by : Charles W. Sutherland
Download or read book Disciples of Destruction written by Charles W. Sutherland and published by Prometheus Books. This book was released on with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What's going on in the world? Every day we hear more horror stories about the wars in the Middle East. Americans are afraid to travel world-wide because of their justified fears of terrorism. And here, at home, we watch with amazement as the fundamentalists battle over control of a TV empire riddled with sex and drugs, with a scenario that makes prime time television look tame.As money, sex, and power once again take their toll, Disciples of Destruction examines religion itself and the role it has played since time, as we know it, began. Sutherland uncovers and analyzes the real ramifications of organized religion and its devastating effects on Western civilization.Disciples of Destruction is packed with little-known vignettes that are sure to astonish, amuse, and sometimes even outrage the reader. Few will fail to be drawn in by the account of the Corpse Synod, in which a Pope's body was exhumed, put on trial for high crimes, and subsequently dragged through the streets of Rome; or shocked by the plausible contention that Albino Luciani, elected Pope John Paul I in 1979 but destined to reign for only 33 days, did not die a natural death but was in fact assissinated.Sutherland convincingly concludes that organized religion, even today, maintains the proclivities of its barbaric origins, as Israeli expansionism, the Vatican's obsession with its financial empire, the atrocities of Khomeini's Islamic Republic, and Marxist militarism and repression amply demonstrate. These proclivities, updated to our century, indicate that while the long battle to liberate the mind from the fear of tyranny continues, the slow process of slaying the dragons of mythology is not keeping step with the pace of nuclear weapons development and deployment, which accelerates in the context of an equally explosive growth of religious fundamentalism. Unchecked, this makes armageddon the easiest prophecy to fulfill.
Book Synopsis The Darkening Age by : Catherine Nixey
Download or read book The Darkening Age written by Catherine Nixey and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2018-04-17 with total page 373 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New York Times Notable Book, winner of the Jerwood Award from the Royal Society of Literature, a New York Times Book Review Editors’ Choice, and named a Book of the Year by the Telegraph, Spectator, Observer, and BBC History Magazine, this bold new history of the rise of Christianity shows how its radical followers helped to annihilate Greek and Roman civilizations. The Darkening Age is the largely unknown story of how a militant religion deliberately attacked and suppressed the teachings of the Classical world, ushering in centuries of unquestioning adherence to "one true faith." Despite the long-held notion that the early Christians were meek and mild, going to their martyrs' deaths singing hymns of love and praise, the truth, as Catherine Nixey reveals, is very different. Far from being meek and mild, they were violent, ruthless, and fundamentally intolerant. Unlike the polytheistic world, in which the addition of one new religion made no fundamental difference to the old ones, this new ideology stated not only that it was the way, the truth, and the light but that, by extension, every single other way was wrong and had to be destroyed. From the first century to the sixth, those who didn't fall into step with its beliefs were pursued in every possible way: social, legal, financial, and physical. Their altars were upturned and their temples demolished, their statues hacked to pieces, and their priests killed. It was an annihilation. Authoritative, vividly written, and utterly compelling, this is a remarkable debut from a brilliant young historian.
