Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whereas many textbooks treat the subject of world religions in an apolitical way, as if each religion were a path for individuals seeking wisdom and not a discourse intimately connected with the exercise of power, James W. Laine treats religion and politics as halves of the same whole, tracing their relationship from the policies of Alexander the Great to the ideologies of modern Europe secularists, with stops in classical India, China, and the Islamic world. Meta-Religion is a groundbreaking text that brings power and politics to the fore of our understanding of world religions, placing religion at the center of world history. This synthetic approach is both transformative and enlightening as it presents a powerful model for thinking differently about what religion is and how it functions in the world. With images and maps to bring the narrative to life, Meta-Religion combines sophisticated scholarly critique with accessibility that students and scholar alike will appreciate.

Book excerpt: When former evangelical minister Tim Sledge walked away from five decades of faith more than 10 years ago, he made a clean break-no more church, prayer, religion, or God. But there was one thing that surprised him: He still wanted to be spiritual. Looking beyond traditional Christian views of spirituality, he found no "spiritual but not religious" model that worked for him-including the mindset of connecting with the energy of the universe. Eventually, Sledge decided to redefine spirituality for himself, and to use the term "meta-spirituality" to identify his personal approach as beyond any conventional concept of spirituality. His vision of meta-spirituality touches that part of us that seeks inspiration, yearns for the highest and best in life, and longs for a connection to something noble and wondrous. This is spirituality without God or magic, without religion or faith, and with no need of an invisible spirit world. It is a call to kindness, listening, vulnerability, compassion, and gratitude; a quest for a growing sensitivity to the world of emotions; and, a challenge to let mistakes lead to growth instead of shame. The book's 26 chapters are organized around five topics: How to Be Spiritual Without God How to See Reality How to Live With Meaning How to Keep Moving Forward How to Practice Meta-Spirituality A Meta-Spiritual Handbook is a simple guide to seeing spirituality in a new way and a challenge to find your best self without reference to religion, faith, or God.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In metaethics, there is a divide between those who believe that there exist moral facts independently of human interests and attitudes (i.e., moral realists) and those who don't (i.e., antirealists). In the last half century, the field of religious ethics has been inundated with various antirealist schools of moral thought. Though there is a wide spectrum of different positons within antirealism, a majority of antirealist religious ethicists tend to see moral belief as an historically dependent social construction. This has created an environment where doing religious ethics in any metaphysically substantial sense is often seen not only as out of fashion but also as philosophically implausible. However, there is a lack of clarity as to what antirealists exactly mean by "construction" and what arguments they would use to support their views. Religious Ethics and Constructivism brings together a diverse group of scholars who represent different philosophical and theological outlooks to discuss the merits of constructivism vis-à-vis religious ethics. The essays explore four different kinds of constructivism in metaethics: social (or Hegelian) constructivism, Kantian constructivism, Humean constructivism, and theological constructivism. The overall aim of these essays is to foster dialogue between religious ethicists and moral philosophers, and to open the field religious ethics to the insights that can be provided by contemporary metaethics.

This book was released on 2005-08-01 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: REFLECTIONS IN SMOKE is a story about firefighters, their job, their families, and their relationships with other firefighters, citizens and the city officials. The story is seen through the eyes of Charles E. Mixler, a World War II combat Marine Veteran, who had attended Center City College. Mixler becomes interested in the fire department after seeing the firemen in action. Charlie joins the Center City Fire Department in 1949. Over his thirty year career, he and his fellow firefighters encounter a variety of emergencies and life threatening situations, as well as calling on their human instincts in helping people cope with tragedy and loss. He completes rookie school and is assigned to a fire company. Charlie learns his trade by the aid of his officers and his fellow firefighters. Throughout the book there are many fire runs and other emergencies. There are fires in homes, stores, and factories. There are fatal fires, automobile accidents, storms, an airplane crash, Church fires and arsons. These emergencies cover the scope of a firefighter's job. The story takes you inside the many fires and emergencies and makes you almost think you can smell the smoke and feel the heat. There is a fatal fire that involves a firefighter, his crews' reaction, the viewing and the funeral. The story also relates to the family side of a firefighter's life and the trials and traumas they must endure. It also tells of the personal toll a firefighter's chosen profession takes on him and his peers, as they must deal with death and other emergencies on a daily basis. The story explains what makes a man do this dirty, demanding, dangerous job and keep coming back for more in spite of the cost. It tells the story of a happy family and the support they give the firefighter. It also tells the sad story of a family breakup, divorce and of the heartbreak of Charlie's friend, Paul Davidson. The firefighter's sense of humor, crude as it may sometimes be, shows how they use humor to keep their sanity and to ease the stress and strain that is such a big part of their work.

Book excerpt: Vaetan Thought is a metareligion for the third millennium. A metareligion is a set of religious beliefs that can be combined with an individual's existing religion without the need to convert. Vaetan Thought aims to be the seminal source of morality for the next one thousand years of human history, paving the way towards a moral colonization of space and further advancement of human technologies.Religion and politics in the modern world are fundamentally flawed. It is clear that no modern religions have been capable of keeping up with technological advancement, with the abandonment of Christianity in the West and Luddite reversions of Islam in the East. Judaism contends mostly with its own survival. Buddhism and Hinduism have not addressed the rise in identity unique to the digital era.Politics are artificially tied to a concept of "right" and "left", with the whole of the civilized world trapped in the binary conflict between royalists and revolutionaries created in the French Revolution. "Right" and "left" are fictional social constructs that exact disastrous consequences on our civilization. "The Right" seeks to preserve that which is dysfunctional, while "the Left" seeks to destroy that which is functional.Vaetan Thought cannot be anchored to any side of the political spectrum. Vaetan Thought eschews ideology and identity, instead focusing on solutions to our modern problems. Vaetan Thought makes criticism of modern religions, with thorough explanation of how those religions can return to being institutions of morality. Vaetan Thought provides solutions to the racial, ethnic, gender, and sexual divisions in politics.Join Vaetan adherents as we seek to bring about Utopia, by asserting that we will never reach Utopia. Unlike the dictatorships of the twentieth century, we will never cease to improve on our society. Life is a journey, not a destination, so join us as we take our journey together. "Vitae Tandem", or Vaetan Thought.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This comprehensive survey of contemporary Islam provides a philosophical and theological approach to the issues faced by Muslims and the question of global secularisation. Engaging with critics of modern Islam, Shabbir Akhtar sets out an agenda of what his religion is and could be as a political entity. Exploring the views and arguments of philosophical, religious and political thinkers, the author covers a raft of issues faced by Muslims in an increasingly secular society. Chapters are devoted to the Qur’an and Islamic literature; the history of Islam; Sharia law; political Islam; Islamic ethics; and political Islam’s evolving relationship with the West. Recommending changes which enable Muslims to move from their imperial past to a modest role in the power structures of today’s society, Akhtar offers a detailed assessment of the limitations and possibilities of Islam in the modern world. Providing a vision for an empowered yet rational Islam that distances itself from both Islamist factions and Western secularism, this book is an essential read for students and scholars of Islamic studies, religion, philosophy and politics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vinod Acharya presents a new existential interpretation of Nietzsche's philosophy. He contends that Nietzsche's peculiar form of existentialism can be understood only by undertaking a thorough analysis of his characterization and critique of metaphysics. This reading remedies the shortcomings of previous existential interpretations of Nietzsche, which typically view existentialism as concerned primarily with the meaning of individual existence, and therefore necessarily at odds with the abstraction and objectivity of metaphysical thought. Acharya argues that the approach of Nietzsche's philosophy, especially in his mature works, is to make the typical existential position foundational, and then to develop to the fullest the implications of this position. This meta-existential approach necessarily yields an ambiguous and open-ended critique of metaphysics. Taking issue with the Heideggerian, the poststructuralist, and the naturalistic interpretations, this book contends that Nietzsche neither simply overcomes metaphysics nor remains trapped within its confines. Acharya argues that an ever-renewed encounter with and critique of metaphysics is an essential aspect of Nietzsche's meta-existentialism.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why it's wrong to single out religious liberty for special legal protections This provocative book addresses one of the most enduring puzzles in political philosophy and constitutional theory—why is religion singled out for preferential treatment in both law and public discourse? Why are religious obligations that conflict with the law accorded special toleration while other obligations of conscience are not? In Why Tolerate Religion?, Brian Leiter shows why our reasons for tolerating religion are not specific to religion but apply to all claims of conscience, and why a government committed to liberty of conscience is not required by the principle of toleration to grant exemptions to laws that promote the general welfare.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Meta-Christianity: Spiritism Established, Religion Re-Established, Science Disestablished To the author's knowledge, there is no system of thought, ancient or modern, which his metaphysic even remotely resembles, except in regard to certain fundamental implications respecting (a) the nature of matter and what is called objective experience; (b) the conditions of possible experience. In regard to (a), the author's metaphysic resembles Berkeley's; in regard to (b), it resembles the Kantian system. Essentially, the author's metaphysic is entirely different from either of these systems. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: We live in an age of skepticism. Our society places such faith in empirical reason, historical progress, and heartfelt emotion that it’s easy to wonder: Why should anyone believe in Christianity? What role can faith and religion play in our modern lives? In this thoughtful and inspiring new book, pastor and New York Times bestselling author Timothy Keller invites skeptics to consider that Christianity is more relevant now than ever. As human beings, we cannot live without meaning, satisfaction, freedom, identity, justice, and hope. Christianity provides us with unsurpassed resources to meet these needs. Written for both the ardent believer and the skeptic, Making Sense of God shines a light on the profound value and importance of Christianity in our lives.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume reviews the exploding religion/spirituality (R/S) and health literature from a population health perspective. It emphasizes the distinctive Public Health concern for promoting health and preventing disease in societies, nations, and communities, as well as individuals. Part I offers a rigorous review of mainstream biomedical and social scientific theory and evidence on R/S-health relations. Addressing key gaps in previous literature, it reviews evidence from a population health viewpoint, surveying pertinent findings and theories from the perspective of Public Health subfields that range from Environmental Health Sciences to Public Health Nutrition to Health Policy & Management and Public Health Education. In Part II, practitioners describe in detail how attending to R/S factors enhances the work of clinicians and community health practitioners. R/S provides an additional set of concepts and tools to address opportunities and challenges ranging from behavior and institutional change to education, policy, and advocacy. Part III empowers educators, analyzing pedagogical needs and offering diverse short chapters by faculty who teach R/S-health connections in many nationally top-ranked Schools of Public Health. International and global perspectives are highlighted in a concluding chapter and many places throughout the volume. This book addresses a pressing need for Public Health research, practice and teaching: A substantial evidence base now links religious and spiritual (R/S) factors to health. In the past 20 years, over 100 systematic reviews and 30 meta-analyses on R/S-health were published in refereed journals. But despite this explosion of interest, R/S factors remain neglected in Public Health teaching and research. Public Health lags behind related fields such as medicine, psychology, and nursing, where R/S factors receive more attention. This book can help Public Health catch up. It offers abundant key resources to empower public health professionals, instructors, and students to address R/S, serving at once as a course text, a field manual and a research handbook.
