Download or read book The Children of God written by J. Gordon Melton and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Children of God emerged out of the hippie movement of the 1960s, and through the 1980s they came to blend Christianity with sexual freedom, communal living, and a rejection of materialism and "the system." The Children, or "the Family" as they are now called, modified their behavior in the 1990s in the wake of several child sexual abuse charges (all dismissed) and the need for direction among the rising generation of Family members. They continue to live communally, proselytize full-time (none hold traditional jobs) and engage in sexual "sharing." As a byproduct of their evangelism, they have produced a number of accomplished musicians. They receive guidance for their daily lives through periodic revelations passed to them by the Family's current leader, Maria (the founder's widow), and her associates. Despite their variance from traditional Christian beliefs and practices, their recent attempts to conform to some degree with cultural norms in whatever country they work has tempered criticism, and they continue as the most successful communal movement of an almost forgotten hippie world.

This book was released on 2019-07-31 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Mi sono sempre chiesto come in una città o in un piccolo paese si possano incontrare persone di fede diversa. Cosa li spinge a vivere insieme? Crescendo ho capito di vivere in un mondo nel quale è presente un pluralismo religioso e del quale io stesso ne sono figlio perché mio padre, essendo originario della Tunisia, era di fede islamica, mentre mia madre, italiana, di fede cattolica. Cosa li ha spinti a vivere insieme? La risposta sembra ovvia: l’amore e il rispetto reciproco. Ed è proprio quest’aspetto che ha permesso la mia educazione alla fede cristiana. Inoltre, mi sono reso conto, attraverso esperienze vissute, di questo tesoro che porto nel cuore.” Josef Ben Othman nasce a Battipaglia il 21 agosto 1994, da madre italiana e padre tunisino. È il secondogenito di tre figli. Nell’anno 2013 ha conseguito la maturità classica, dopo la quale inizia gli studi filosofici e teologici presso l’Istituto teologico Salernitano. Dopo il primo biennio universitario interrompe gli studi per vivere un’esperienza presso la prima cittadella del Movimento dei Focolari, che si trova a Loppiano, una località del Val d’Arno Fiorentino. Proprio da questa esperienza vissuta, ritorna nella sua città natale, ove decide di terminare gli studi conseguendo la laurea triennale in Scienze Religiose. L’esperienza vissuta a Loppiano, fa sorgere nell’autore il desiderio di aprire l’orizzonte culturale nei confronti delle altre religioni e partendo dall’invito della fondatrice del Movimento dei Focolari, Chiara Lubich (1920-2008), inizia la sua ricerca scientifica riguardante la regola aurea nel Cristianesimo e in alcune grandi religioni mondiali. Incoraggiato dalla famiglia, dagli amici e da tutti coloro che lo hanno accompagnato, Josef Ben Othman consegue il titolo di dottore in Scienze Religiose il 27 settembre 2018.
