Book excerpt: The Next Step in Religion: An Essay toward the Coming Renaissance is a classic religious essay by Roy Wood Sellars that examines christianity and humanism includes the following excerpt: More than people are consciously aware, a new view of the universe and of man's place in it is forming. It is forming in the laboratories of scientists, the studies of thinkers, the congresses of social workers, the assemblies of reformers, the studios of artists and, even more quietly, in the circles of many homes. This new view is growing beneath the old as a bud grows beneath its covering, and is slowly pushing it aside.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Next Step in Religion: An Essay Towards the Coming Renaissance I have called the book The Next Step in Religion because the time is ripe for one of the great steps for ward. The setting of religion must be adjusted to man's knowledge. Let it not be feared that man's spiritual life will be injured thereby. Rather will it be made saner, healthier and more creative. The first phase of religion reflected man's helpless ness and fear. He peopled his surroundings with con scious powers, sometimes adverse, sometimes friendly.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In these times of dramatic social change, when the highly charged issue of homosexuality is undeniably causing controversy in many arenas--religion, marriage, politics, education, the military--Christian de la Huerta, founder and director of Q-Spirit, offers a fresh outlook on gay spirituality and how to assert it.A spiritual awakening is occurring in the gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgendered community, as in much of the world. In this encompassing guidebook, de la Huerta looks at Buddhism, Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism, Taoism, Sufism, New Thought, New Age, and Earth-based religions, including Native American. Cogently investigating these traditions' attitudes, teachings, and policies toward homosexuality, the author gives the queer reader a foundation from which to begin building a spiritual connection. Coming Out Spiritually also synthesizes ten spiritual roles or archetypes people we now call gay or queer have often assumed and continue to enact today: creators of beauty, consciousness scouts, mediators, shamans, and healers, among others. Drawing on these models while acting as a guide to the queer community, the author shows how to look deeper inside; to reach higher than ever before; to step forth more fully into a rightful self. An impassioned call to action, Coming Out Spiritually alternatively touches, challenges, encourages, and supports the queer community to fully reclaim its spiritual heritage.

Book excerpt: "Is significant as indicating the need the modern thinker feels of coming to some understanding with religion....The book is an example of radicalism at its best. While the author never fails to state his opinion fully and frankly, he always does this with the least possible offense to those who differ from him. Dr. Sellars is not among those half-way thinkers who believe that liberal religion has already done its work, has indicated all the readjustments that need to be made, and so has nothing left to do except to sit down and let orthodoxy overtake it. Instead, he believes that important changes are yet to be made, that 'the perspective, intention, and elements of religion are about to alter.' 'Humanity hugs illusion more fondly than it does truth because it is more familiar with it.' It we only have spiritual courage we can all have a part in 'the high adventure of separating moral truth from theological illusion.'" -Christian Register "The benefit of the book is that of a cold plunge. It may be recommended strongly to those who are strong enough to get the glow of a wholesome reaction. To such the great stimulus of the work is in deepening the conviction that Christianity must demonstrate in the lives of its adherents that, here and now more than any other religion (using the word in its secondary as well as its primary sense) it makes for human values - intellectual, moral, aesthetic, etc. If it does not and cannot then it is doomed to be superseded and ought to be." -The Biblical World "'The center of gravity of religion has been openly changing for some time now from supernaturalism to what may best be called humanistic naturalism.' Dr. Sellars traces, in a flowing conciliatory style, the past and present of this process: finds the origins of supernaturalism in the impotence of primitive man - nature being worshiped where she cannot be controlled; and attributes the decay of supernaturalism to the development of man's knowledge and power. Nature is like any other feminine - not worshiped once she has been known. Along with this theological debacle has gone a domestication of ideals: Heaven has become Utopia, to be sought no longer by prayers to God but by telegrams to the President. Religion is to mean devotion to goodness, beauty, truth; 'selfish luxury will be scorned, property subordinated to welfare, economic fear lessened to the utmost, knowledge unenviously exalted, and art called into service.' This capacity of man to feel devotion is the noble element in the beast; for nourishing it religion may some day have her crimes forgotten. Morality alone - the restriction of self-seeking within social bounds - will not suffice; it must be touched with devotion. Religion is morality on fire; 'loyalty to the values of life.'" -The Dial "An able and well written book." -The Nation "Such a volume is stimulating - it shows how many of our cherished convictions and 'truths' are but guesses and idle words. And since we need such restatements it is well that they should be furnished by those who have such a large faith in the future." -Homiletic Review CONTENTS I SUGGESTIONS II THE AGE OF MYTH III STORIES OF CREATION IV MAGIC AND RITUAL V THE ORIGINS OF CHRISTIANITY VI THE PROPHET OF NAZARETH VII THE EVOLUTION OF CHRISTIANITY VIII THE CONFLICT BETWEEN SCIENCE AND THEOLOGY IX THE LIMITS OF PERSONAL AGENCY X DO MIRACLES HAPPEN?

Book excerpt: When you received Jesus Christ as your Saviour, you made the most important decision of your life. The Next Step will help you be more effective in your Christian walk. Not meant to take the place of your Bible, it will teach you basic steps to a strong and healthy Christian life. It's an excellent discipleship tool to give to those you lead to the Lord. Chapters include: 1. Birth Of The Bible How the Scriptures came to be, and how Satan has attacked them for almost 1,500 years. 2. Don't Read That Book You won't last long without food, and neither will any Christian last long without the Word of God. This Bible reading program will give you a balanced diet of spiritual food, every day of your life. But it will cost you something! 3. Prayer Do you want to get RESULTS when you pray? Here are the keys to effective prayer, and how to deal with the things Satan uses to stop you. 4. Love Some people are hard to love. Yet for some people, real love is the only way to reach them. 5. The Enemy Every Christian has a mortal enemy. His goal? He wants you dead and in hell. Learn some of his many faces, and how he attacks Christians. He hates us all, because he knows that there is a day coming, when he will be cast into hell. 6. Pitfalls Be careful! Things that can destroy your Christian testimony can be small, or unexpected. 7. Called Out Being a Christian doesn't mean you're better than everyone else. It means you're forgiven. But you can't be the same as everyone else, either. God wants you to live in a way that is different, so you can have the same result as the Christian in this chapter. 8. Warn Them Everyone who hasn't accepted Christ is on his way to hell, just like you were. Now that you have forgiveness, it's up to you warn your friends. If witnessing chokes you up, or you don't think you know enough of the Bible yet, here is a simple plan to help you be a real witness. You can't save anyone ... but Jesus will! Here's an easy way to tell them.

Book excerpt: "I can't imagine a college student—skeptic, doubter, Christian, struggler—who wouldn't benefit from this book." —Kevin DeYoung For many young adults, the college years are an exciting period of selfdiscovery full of new relationships, new independence, and new experiences. Yet college can also be a time of personal testing and intense questioning— especially for Christian students confronted with various challenges to Christianity and the Bible for the first time. Drawing on years of experience as a biblical scholar, Michael Kruger addresses common objections to the Christian faith—the exclusivity of Christianity, Christian intolerance, homosexuality, hell, the problem of evil, science, miracles, and the reliability of the Bible. If you're a student dealing with doubt or wrestling with objections to Christianity from fellow students and professors alike, this book will equip you to engage secular challenges with intellectual honesty, compassion, and confidence—and ultimately graduate college with your faith intact.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The hard work required to make God real, how it changes the people who do it, and why it helps explain the enduring power of faith How do gods and spirits come to feel vividly real to people—as if they were standing right next to them? Humans tend to see supernatural agents everywhere, as the cognitive science of religion has shown. But it isn’t easy to maintain a sense that there are invisible spirits who care about you. In How God Becomes Real, acclaimed anthropologist and scholar of religion T. M. Luhrmann argues that people must work incredibly hard to make gods real and that this effort—by changing the people who do it and giving them the benefits they seek from invisible others—helps to explain the enduring power of faith. Drawing on ethnographic studies of evangelical Christians, pagans, magicians, Zoroastrians, Black Catholics, Santeria initiates, and newly orthodox Jews, Luhrmann notes that none of these people behave as if gods and spirits are simply there. Rather, these worshippers make strenuous efforts to create a world in which invisible others matter and can become intensely present and real. The faithful accomplish this through detailed stories, absorption, the cultivation of inner senses, belief in a porous mind, strong sensory experiences, prayer, and other practices. Along the way, Luhrmann shows why faith is harder than belief, why prayer is a metacognitive activity like therapy, why becoming religious is like getting engrossed in a book, and much more. A fascinating account of why religious practices are more powerful than religious beliefs, How God Becomes Real suggests that faith is resilient not because it provides intuitions about gods and spirits—but because it changes the faithful in profound ways.

This book was released on 2013-10-10 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You no longer have to choose between what you know and what you believe—an accessible introduction to a theological game-changer. "I wrote this book for you if you want to be able to locate your life in a single, encompassing story, one that includes everything from the first moment the universe began until yesterday, a narrative that embraces deepest personal meaning, a yearning to love and be loved, a quest for social justice and compassion." —from the Introduction Much of what you were told you should believe when you were younger forces you to choose between your spirit and your intellect, between science and religion, between morality and dogma: unchanging laws of nature vs. miracles that sound magical; a good God vs. the tragedies that strike all living creatures; a God who knows the future absolutely vs. an open future that you help to shape through your choices. This fascinating introduction to Process Theology from a Jewish perspective shows that these are false choices. Inspiring speaker, spiritual leader and philosopher Rabbi Bradley Shavit Artson presents an overview of what Process Theology is and what it can mean for your spiritual life. He explains how Process Theology can break you free from the strictures of ancient Greek and medieval European philosophy, allowing you to see all creation not as this or that, us or them, but as related patterns of energy through which we connect to everything. Armed with Process insights and tools, you can break free from outdated religious dichotomies and affirm that your religiosity, your spirit, your mind and your ethics all strengthen and refine each other.
