Download or read book Major World Religions written by Lloyd Ridgeon and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2003-12-08 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work seeks to answer questions about the great religious traditions in the contemporary age. It focuses upon those religions that continue to demand the attention of the Western world. Following an introduction on the philosophy of religion, attention is focused on Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam which are religions that have had (and probably continue to have) the greatest number of followers in Western society. In addition to the lasting impact that religion has had in society, we are witnesses to the development of secularism on the one hand and the revival of religious sentiment on the other, thus chapters on modernity, postmodernism, and 'fundamentalism' have also been included. The distinctive feature of the book is its modern feel. Each chapter brings the reader up-to-date with recent developments and commentaries upon recent religious thought, theology and religious-political movements. Moreover, the length of the chapters permits a detailed analysis which is so often lacking in books on world religions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: (Set) They only spoke of destroying inner evil. They simply refused to look at the outer evil surrounding them all the while. They would rather shut their eyes. * Gandhi did the same by glorifying his ideology through the symbolism of three monkeys: one would not see bad, other would not listen to bad, the third would not speak bad. They respectively shut their eyes, ears, and mouth. * In that symbolism there were three monkeys. But when it came to humans, they thought: we must surpass the monkeys. So, they decided to become all in one. * They shut their eyes, they closed their ears, and they sealed their mouths. Thus, they lost the ability to distinguish between the good and the bad. That was considered a glorified advancement over the state of monkey, graduating to humans. * And, they made the Dhaarmic man totally defenseless, and allowed the Adhaarmic man to be the master of all that he surveyed. What a great accomplishment, and what a lovely philosophy! ... (Part-1) Some people love to speak that knowledge of God is illumination. Well, all that is fine, but first come to the ground level. First, become knowledgeable about facts and falsehoods. Then, think of your illumination! Ignorance of basic facts has been the curse for us. So, please walk on earth first, before you start flying up in the sky to attain the so-called illumination! You need a secure ground to walk on, and continue to walk on. If you remain blissfully oblivious of those waiting to back-stab you then, either you, or your coming generations will not have that ground to walk on!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gandhi had taught Hindus Ishwar and Allah are your names, the names of the same God. Hindus took the bait but amongst Muslims there were no takers. * The question will remain to be answered whether he spread it out of his ignorance? Or, did he do it on purpose to carve out an image for himself, that of a a great soul, sacrificing an entire community at the altar of his passion for becoming a Saint. Disregard what it might have been; the result was disastrous and quite far reaching. * With frequent overdose of his make-believe theory, which acted like opium, Gandhi led Hindu society into a coma, from which the community has not been able to come out as yet. When Gandhi was dead and gone, his lieutenant Nehru and his stooges kept injecting the opium whenever Hindu community showed any signs of coming out of that coma!

They are essentially not the same God.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Oh, God ~ better, NO God! Probably this was the thought on the minds of those people who saw the true face of the Bible God and Allah of Qur'an. For them, rose a new messiah whose name was Karl Marx. He established a new religion called Communism. He maintained that his was not a religion. Yet, it had all the ingredients of a religion under the guise of being anti-religion. It had been painfully carved out of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, minus God, plus money . But people failed to perceive it that way because they looked at what had been shown to them, not what was kept out of their purview.
Download or read book Secularisms written by Janet R. Jakobsen and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2008-03-11 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At a time when secularism is put forward as the answer to religious fundamentalism and violence, Secularisms offers a powerful, multivoiced critique of the narrative equating secularism with modernity, reason, freedom, peace, and progress. Bringing together essays by scholars based in religious studies, gender and sexuality studies, history, science studies, anthropology, and political science, this volume challenges the binary conception of “conservative” religion versus “progressive” secularism. With essays addressing secularism in India, Iran, Turkey, Great Britain, China, and the United States, this collection crucially complicates the dominant narrative by showing that secularism is multifaceted. How secularism is lived and experienced varies with its national, regional, and religious context. The essays explore local secularisms in relation to religious traditions ranging from Islam to Judaism, Hinduism to Christianity. Several contributors explicitly take up the way feminism has been implicated in the dominant secularization story. Ultimately, by dislodging secularism’s connection to the single (and singular) progress narrative, this volume seeks to open spaces for other possible narratives about both secularism and religion—as well as for other possible ways of inhabiting the contemporary world.

Book excerpt: Now, have a taste of what comes to you from the One and the Only Son of God, with LOVE in big letters, before you choose to continue to fool yourself based on what you have been reading and hearing all the while. * There is no better source than the Christian Bible itself if you want to verify the truth. Do not believe me, do not believe any one else. Believe only your eyes and your own ability to understand. * Let me tell you in the very beginning that here are the quotes from Christian Bible and definitions/meanings from the Oxford Dictionary lest you start wondering if I have invented them.
Download or read book Religion the Enlightenment and the New Global Order written by John M. Owen IV and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2011-02-05 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Largely because of the cultural and political shift of the Enlightenment, Western societies emerged from sectarian conflict and embraced a more religiously moderate path. In nine original essays, leading scholars ask whether it is possible to export the Enlightenment solution abroad. Contributors begin by revisiting the Enlightenment's restructuring of the West, examining its past and future encounters with Protestant and Catholic Christianity, Judaism, Islam, and Hinduism. While strongly attuned to the difficulties of implementing the principles of the Enlightenment worldwide, these scholars ultimately believe its elements have a necessary place within the new global order. Their approach treats conflict as a means to cooperation and sees religious commitment as a bolster, instead of a detriment, to political civility. Ultimately, they collapse both the claim that the West's experience offers a ready-made template for the world to follow and the belief that the West's achievements are to be ignored, despised, or discarded.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Religion Reexamined is a concise introduction to world religions. It is designed to facilitate a comparative study of religions. It is divided into eight chapters that thoroughly examine the foundations of Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Confucianism, Taoism, and Secularism. Following Clifford Geertz, it treats each religion as a cultural system composed of three parts: ethos (character), ethics (way of life), and ethnos (social entity). Using Stephen Prothero’s approach, it identifies each religions’ problem, solutions to the problem, techniques for moving from problem to solution, and exemplars who chart the path from problem to solution. It includes critical reviews of religion by psychologists, sociologists, anthropologists, and philosophers from Aristotle to Karen Armstrong.

Download or read book Secularization and the World Religions written by Hans Joas and published by Liverpool University Press. This book was released on 2022-04-01 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The question of religion, its contemporary and future significance and its role in society and state is currently perceived as an urgent one by many and is widely discussed within the public sphere. But it has also long been one of the core topics of the historically oriented social sciences. The immense stock of knowledge furnished by the history of religion and religious studies, theology, sociology and history has to be introduced into the public conscience today. This can promote greater awareness of the contemporary global religious situation and its links with politics and economics and counter rash syntheses such as the “clash of civilizations”. This volume is concerned with the connections between religions and the social world and with the extent, limits, and future of secularization. The first part deals with major religious traditions and their explicit or implicit ideas about the individual, social and political order. The second part gives an overview of the religious situation in important geographical areas. Additional contributions analyze the legal organization of the relationship between state and religion in a global perspective and the role of the natural sciences in the process of secularization. The contributors are internationally renowned scholars like Winfried Brugger, José Casanova, Friedrich Wilhelm Graf, Hans Joas, Hans G. Kippenberg, Gudrun Krämer, David Martin, Eckart Otto and Rudolf Wagner.
