Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Religious Quest of India The writers of this series of volumes on the variant forms of religious life in India are governed in their work by two impelling motives. I. They endeavour to work in the sincere and sympathetic spirit of science. They desire to understand the perplexingly involved developments of thought and life in India and dis passionately to estimate their value. They recognize the futility of any such attempt to understand and evaluate, unless it is grounded in a thorough historical study of the phenomena investigated. In recognizing this fact they do no more than share what is common ground among all' modern students of religion of any repute. But they also believe that it is neces sary to set the practical side of each system in living relation to the beliefs and the literature, and that, in this regard, the close and direct contact which they have each had with Indian religious life ought to prove a source of valuable light. For, until a clear understanding has been gained of the practical influence exerted by the habits of worship, by the practice of the ascetic, devotional, or occult discipline, by the social organization and by the family system, the real impact of the faith upon the life of the individual and the community cannot be estimated and, without the advantage of extended personal intercourse, a trustworthy account of the religious experience of a community can scarcely be achieved by even the most careful student.

Excerpt: ...the pot were uncovered, some one might burn his hands in it, and if by chance a piece of burnt skin fell in the pot, the fire would become as unholy as the fire that burns a dead man!) But this covered fire that is brought is holy, and is called the Pavaka or sanctifier.1 Sandal-wood paste is sprinkled on the edge of the altar and on the fire itself, and flowers are put beside it. Next, three blades of darbha-grass dipped in clarified butter are thrown into the fire, and water is poured round it. At this point the worshipper stops for a moment and meditates on Agni, who has four horns, three legs, two heads, and seven hands, and then he again offers sandal-wood paste and flowers to the fire. Rice is now ordered from the kitchen, and the worshipper sprinkles water over the rice and sanctifies it by repeating mentally the gayatri mantra, and then pouring over it clarified butter. Out of this rice the worshipper proceeds to make five little balls, each the size of a marble. The first is offered to Brahma, and as the worshipper casts it into the fire, he says: 1 It maybe interesting here to note the names of the other fires that we have either studied already or shall later study. The fire at sraddha is called the Aditi, the mother of gods and the aunt of the demons; the marriage fire is the Yojaka, the uniter; the fire lit at a house-warming is the Satamaiigala, the bringer of hundreds of auspicious things; the fire lit at the funeral pyre is the Kravydd, the eater of human flesh; and the fire lit to propitiate the planets is the Varada, the fulfiller of desire. 'Brahmane Svdhd and then: 'This is for his sake and not for mine'. The remaining four balls are successively offered in the same way to Prajdpati, to Grihyd (the goddess who guards the...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Gospel of John and the Religious Quest argues that at its origin the Fourth Gospel was part of a dialogue with various religious traditions, and that to this day it is being used in active dialogue with those who live in traditions other than the Christian. In the first part of the book, Johannes Nissen analyzes a number of texts selected both for their central importance to John's theology and for their special relevance in today's religious quests and encounters. These texts focus on John's images of Life--water, bread, light, way, and tree--but also treat concepts that are crucial to the Fourth Gospel--Word, Truth, and Love. In the second part, Nissen focuses on significant issues for current readers of the Gospel: the relation between incarnation and inculturation; models for dialogue with other religions; images of Christ; truth and love as criteria for dialogue; and the experience of faith in the light of the Fourth Gospel.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By offering a listening and empathetic presence, the chaplain acknowledges that every patient is unique and precious. When someone hits a crisis in life, hospitalization, illness, and even death of a loved one, than it's the chaplain's task to companion the patient, and "leadeth (them) beside the still waters" towards hope and healing. As a chaplain who provides spiritual support in the hospital environment to patients, family members, and hospital staff, the author gained many experiences, which he describes as "bordering on the sacred." The journey to become a chaplain has been truly transformative, he writes, and "opened my heart to others, brought me closer to our Heavenly Parent, and according to my wife, made me a more sensitive listener and a better husband. Basically I would say that the journey to become a chaplain has made me a better human being."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The meeting of Christianity and the non-Christian religions, the impact of East on West, and West on East, the clash of cultures and the movement of divine and human forces that are changing the pattern of man's life, form the basis of Kraemer's magisterial book. He deals historically with the world situation as he sees it because history determines the mood in which East and West approach this 'coming dialogue'. In a series of masterly chapters Kraemer surveys the position of the world's religions deeply enmeshed in socio-cultural systems that create both barriers to change but impetus towards evolution. The dialogue with the 'grand, elusive, Eastern systems of humanist thinking' demands searching thought, fundamental re-adjustment of methods and readiness to find fresh points of contact. It will, however, vindicate the personal conception of the living God as manifest in Jesus Christ. The 'key word of Oriental philosophies is Harmony, glossing over the glaring disharmonies of man's life.' This is, the heart of the dialogue that Kraemer discusses backed by his vast experience and learning. Kraemer provides a formative and fundamental tool for Christians and all who are aspire to an intelligent and penetrative understanding of the religious and cultural life of the world.
