Download or read book Pantheism and Christianity Classic Reprint written by John Hunt and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pantheism and Christianity Nearly all writers on Pantheism trace its origin to India M. Maret reaches the climax of his argument against the French philosophers, by Showing that their doctrines came from India, 'the mother of superstitions.' Pierre Leroux, one of Maret's ablest Opponents, admitted the fact of his agreement on many subjects with the Indian sages, and added, with an air of triumph, that all religions and all philosophies have their root' in India, and that had Pantheism not been found in India that would have been a strong argument against its truth, for then humanity would have erred in its beginning.' In India the creed of modern intellect is combined with the worship of an infinity of gods. This is the problem of the Indian religion; this is the puzzle on every Hindu temple. When this problem is solved for Hinduism, there will be light shed on a similar problem that presents itself in nearly all religions. M. Leroux again truly says, 'the religion of India does not concern India alone it concerns humanity.' The history of men's thoughts on the greatest questions on which they can be exercised, God and creation, is every where substantially the same. There may be different stages of progress, the development may be checked or stunted, there may be abnormal growth; but however great the phenomenal variety, there is always a real identity. It is in India that we can trace the fullest development of religious thought. The continuity is less broken. We seem here at the fountain-head of natural religion, and can follow the stream flowing onward with but little interruption to where we now stand. In other countries, the succession has passed from one nation to another, and its course cannot always be traced; but in India the connection is visible between the first men capable of worship, and the latest and best thoughts of the furthest-reaching philosophies, as well as the worst developments of the popular religion.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the heart of modern scientific pantheism is reverence for Nature and the Universe. It offers a challenging alternative, beyond theism and atheism, with a joyful approach to our lives and a caring concern for all life on this earth. Pantheism is a 2,500 year-old belief system expressed by many famous thinkers and artists including Lao Tzu, Heraclitus, Spinoza, Wordsworth, Whitman, Emerson, Einstein and Carl Sagan.Today pantheism is seeing a revival as the underlying world view of many environmentalists, of leading scientists, of nature-revering pagans, and of non-theists looking for a more embracing perspective. This accessible and authoritative handbook is the only available introduction to the history, theory and practice of pantheism.Reviews from Amazon Probably the best book to recommend to someone who is no longer comfortable living with the intellectual compromises necessary to maintain a traditional "faith." This book is a gem, with useful contextual information and insights on every page. George FaulkneronMust read. Wonderful book for exploring a way to approach religion in a scientific world. Brady Walker This book is the perfect introduction to Pantheism. It's well written and to the point. Tells what Pantheism is and what it isn't, offers a history and gives basic practices. Fantastic! Tag JonesThis book is surely one of the most extraordinary books written in recent years about the subject of religion. Dr Bill BruehlHighly impressed with this book and author. He carefully explained the beliefs of Pantheists without being condescending or judgmental toward other belief systems. This is a book I will keep to refer back to in future.

Download or read book Pantheism Its Story and Significance written by J. Allanson Picton and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-08-06 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pantheism is a philosophical and/or religious world view that sees the entire universe as a single, eternal, divine unity. It usually goes hand in hand with monism-the idea that the universe is made up of a single substance (matter) in a multitude of changing forms. Since nothing exists outside of this all-encompassing whole, the universe itself must be God. The Pantheistic God is not an anthropomorphic god, and individual believers differ on the level of divinity to ascribe to the deity. This ambiguity allows Pantheism to be compatible with the beliefs of various religions or even with the personal philosophies of secular freethinkers. Pantheism: Its Story and Significance is an essay by J. Allanson Picton that was originally published in 1905 as a 94-page book. Picton defines Pantheism and offers a brief overview of its history. The whole book centers, not surprisingly, around the writings of the philosopher Baruch Spinoza. The title of the work and its brevity might lead you to believe that it's an elementary overview, but it really requires a good deal of prior philosophical knowledge on the part of the reader. Spinoza's Ethics is one of the most challenging books I've ever read, but somehow Picton manages to make Spinozan Pantheism sound even more complicated than Spinoza himself did. Picton opens with a discussion of Pantheistic beliefs among the ancient cultures of India, Egypt, and Greece. He explains that Chinese Buddhism is not a form of Pantheism, but he doesn't even mention Daoism, which is. When Picton discusses whether various philosophies or religions were Pantheistic, he expects the reader to know their doctrines beforehand. When he brings up the Neo-Platonists or Hegel, for example, he assumes that the reader is already familiar with their works. Picton explains clearly how Pantheism differs from Atheism, and tends to emphasize how much Pantheism agrees with mainstream religions rather than how it differs from them. At one point he even goes so far as to compare Spinoza with Jesus. Throughout the book Picton seems to be leery of offending Christians. He doesn't even mention prominent Pantheists Giordano Bruno, who was burned as a heretic, or John Toland, who published radical anti-Church tracts. Only in the concluding paragraphs does Picton indicate some sympathy towards a freethought viewpoint within the broad assertion that Pantheism can unite believers of all creeds or beliefs. In the original printed volume, each paragraph had a subtitle printed along its margin. In the Kindle file that's available for free on Amazon, these subtitles were converted into separate lines in the text that begin with "[Sidenote: ." Unfortunately the sidenotes don't always appear next to the paragraph they refer to. Eventually the reader learns to ignore these annoyances and just read the text. There are also footnotes at the end of every chapter, but not necessarily footnote numbers within the text to indicate what passages they refer to.
Download or read book Christian Philosophy Vol 1 Classic Reprint written by Ephraim Langdon Frothingham and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-06 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Christian Philosophy, Vol. 1 Christian philosophy is necessarily founded upon conceptions of the nature of God, of the origin and nature of the universe, and of the relation of God to the universe and to man. In our time, the greatest con fusion exists, even within the precincts of the Christian chui ch, with regard to these fundamental ideas and conceptions which contradict each other are recognized, either from an external eclecticism, or from an internal inversion by the Destructive Reason with the view to confound opposite ideas in the interest of a nihilistic or of a pantheistic philosophy. This perversion and inver Sion of Christian thought are produced by transcendental philosophy (german in origin) and by evolutionary sci ence (english in origin), which work together to establish in the Church an Antichristian, materialistic, and panthe istic philosophy. There is, in our century, and extending to all departments of intelligence, a renaissance of Pagan thought quite analogous to that effected in the fifteenth century and onward, and our period, equally with that, calls for a new birth or regeneration of Christian thought from a more universal insight into the fundamental ideas of Christianity. From 'the very need of it, therefore, we may look for a new dogmatic form of Christian theology that shall iflcorporate the fundamental and primitive ideas of Christianity, as an historical institution, in forms of imaginative thought which Shall correspond to that more internal condition of the Reason and of the Re.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Divine Immanence an Essay: On the Spiritual Significance of Matter Much of the best philosophical writing in England, of late years, has been critical, or, in the technical and proper sense of the word, sceptical. But critical and sceptical phases, in the progress of thought, can never, from their very nature, be other than temporary things: they sift and question the constructions of the past; but only with a view to prepare for those that are to come. For the world, after all, is a fact; sun, moon, and stars are real; men and women live and love; the moral law is strong - in a word, the universe exists, and some positive account of it must needs be true; it can never be finally explained by a negation. Hence the result of recent criticism has been to make the need of reconstruction more apparent; and men are consequently feeling, in various dirce tions, after positive, synthetic ways of thought. The following brief essay is not an attempt to make any new or original contribution toward such thought but it is written in the interest of synthesis.

EPILOGUE A PANTHEISTIC SERMON "Trust in the Lord, and do good."--Psalm xxxvii. 3. "And is this all?" I can hear some readers ask. The larger "Are we expected to surrender our rich and stronglyfeared.' articulate creeds for the mere recognition of the oneness of eternal Being, and the universe as His revelation?" To which the first but not the only answer is, you cannot help yourselves. Or at least, if the word 'yourselves, may be taken as including your other selves, the coming generations whom you love to regard as a continuation of yourselves, the surrender is inevitable. Indeed the position I ask you to accept is it it implicit in that to which you cling. For these por-Inev, uble, tents, and miraculous theophanies, and divine voices of which you fondly cherish the memory, are, according to your own professions, only part of revelation. Because you certainly accept the apostolic words already sympathetically quoted, that God has manifested him-self in creation. Nor can you deny that the special phenomena of human experience to which you apply pre-eminently, and sometimes exclusively, the term "revelation," are, whether we regard their extension in space or their duration in time, or their bulk in the experience of humanity as a whole, almost infinitesimal Epilogui. compared with the other manifestations of God. Now, either you must bring these infinitesimal manifestations by exceptional miracle into accord with the timeless and immeasurable revelation through things as they are, or you will have to live always, like the Psalmist, "with a sword in your bones," while doubt taunts you with the question, "where is your God?" This internal schism has long been hard to bear, and The way of your future selves will find it intolerable. But, ...

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lectures on the Pantheistic Idea of an Impersonal-Substance-Deity: As Contrasted With the Christian Faith Concerning Almighty God The Object proposed in these lectures is as fol lows: TO show, after stating scientifically the vast and disastrous heresy of the ages, that mod ern lines of thought, professed modern discoveries, and modern theories of human progress, of history, of ethics, and of religion, are but new developments of the spirit which invented that fatal system that they run in parallel lines with it; that they lead to the same conclusions. The author entertains no doubt of the fact of this correspondence. It is not necessary to prove identity of origin: it is enough to Show that 'the principle which underlies the whole system of modern speculation involves the results which were reached by the ancient philoso phies, and that the movement is toward the very same position of a final and universal skepticism. After that, it matters little whether the writers of our day consent or decline to be classed as follow ers of the old pagan masters. They labor toward the same ends, and are walking in the same dirce tion. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
