Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El miedo a la libertad hunde sus raíces en miedos ancestrales, que sobreviven a las religiones, transformados en fidelidad a la tradición, a la palabra revelada, etc. En el fondo, toda religión debe resolver un problema de primera importancia: su relación con el tiempo, su forma de estar en la historia. Si sus energías se orientan a defenderse del tiempo, terminará blindando un núcleo duro de verdades intangibles. Toda religión aspira lógicamente a proponer un conjunto de verdades reveladas que constituyen su marco central de referencia y orientación. Pero, cuando evitan cualquier tipo de lectura que sitúe su mensaje en la historia y cultura concretas, terminan fosilizando y sustrayedo a toda hermenéutica todo el horizonte de su fe. En ese momento, toda forma cultural, toda costumbre o manifestación colectiva adquiere rango nuclear y la libertad es desechada como inútil y peligrosa. El fundamentalismo, llegados a este extremo, se ha apoderado de la religión y ya sólo queda espacio para la resistencia martirial o para la aventura apocalíptica.

Download or read book Christianity and Fear written by Oscar Pfister and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-12-17 with total page 460 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1948, Christianity and Fear explores the nature and history of Christian love in relation to the problem of fear. Based on methods of depth psychology and mental hygiene, the book argues for the necessity of a general concentration of the Christian religion and way of life upon the unity of love through faith and faith through love. It presents the struggle between the teaching of Christian love and the many instances of disputes on dogma that have prompted hatred and fear throughout ecclesiastical history. By using the theory of fear and compulsions, it attempts to explain the directions assumed by these aberrations in Christian history and to highlight love as the essence of the teaching of Jesus. Christianity and Fear will appeal to those with an interest in the history of Christianity, theology, and the psychology of religion.

Download or read book Philosophy and Salvation in Greek Religion written by Vishwa Adluri and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2013-04-30 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ever since Vlastos’ “Theology and Philosophy in Early Greek Thought,” scholars have known that a consideration of ancient philosophy without attention to its theological, cosmological and soteriological dimensions remains onesided. Yet, philosophers continue to discuss thinkers such as Parmenides and Plato without knowledge of their debt to the archaic religious traditions. Perhaps our own religious prejudices allow us to see only a “polis religion” in Greek religion, while our modern philosophical openness and emphasis on reason induce us to rehabilitate ancient philosophy by what we consider the highest standard of knowledge: proper argumentation. Yet, it is possible to see ancient philosophy as operating according to a different system of meaning, a different “logic.” Such a different sense of logic operates in myth and other narratives, where the argument is neither completely illogical nor rational in the positivist sense. The articles in this volume undertake a critical engagement with this unspoken legacy of Greek religion. The aim of the volume as a whole is to show how, beyond the formalities and fallacies of arguments, something more profound is at stake in ancient philosophy: the salvation of the philosopher-initiate.

Each one must live it for himself."

Download or read book Kings of the Grail written by Margarita Torres Sevilla and published by ABRAMS. This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Stand down, Indiana Jones: these two historians say the holy grail has been discovered . . . A ride rich in historical detail” (Publishers Weekly). Recently discovered parchments in the Egyptian University of Al-Azhar have finally made it possible to identify where the Holy Grail has been kept for the past one thousand years. Their discovery led Margarita Torres Sevilla and José Miguel Ortega del Río on a three-year investigation as they traced the Grail’s journey across the globe and discovered its final resting place in the Basilica of San Isidoro in León, Spain. Translated by Rosie Marteau, this is the definitive guide to one of history’s most sought-after treasures, the object of both Arthurian myth and Christian legend. Kings of the Grail presents new historical and scientific facts that have come to light, unraveling the mystery that has surrounded the Holy Grail and taking the reader on a compelling and thought-provoking journey back through time. “The writers make a convincing case . . . This book is a fascinating look at a mystery which has caught the Western imagination via books, poems and movies.” —The Historical Novels Review “An academic exposé on the famed cup of Christ. Torres Sevilla and Ortega del Río claim to have proven the identity of the true grail, the cup with which Jesus Christ and his Apostles shared wine at the Last Supper . . . [An] intriguing glimpse at one of Christianity’s great treasures.” —Kirkus Reviews
Download or read book Biblical Terror written by Jeremiah W. Cataldo and published by Bloomsbury T & T Clark. This book was released on 2017 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "For biblical authors and readers, law and restoration are central concepts in the Bible, but they were not always so. To trace out the formation of those biblical concepts as elements in defensive strategies, Cataldo uses as conversational starting points theories from Zizek, Foucault and Deleuze, all of whom emphasize relation and difference. This work argues that the more modern assumption that biblical authors wrote their texts presupposing a central importance for those concepts is backwards. On the contrary, law and restoration were made central only through and after the writing of the biblical text in particular, those that were concerned with protecting the community from threats to its identity as the "remnant". Modern Bible readers, Cataldo argues, must renegotiate how they understand law and restoration and come to terms with them as concepts that emerged out of more selfish concerns of a community on the margins of imperial political power."--Bloomsbury Publishing
Download or read book Invention of Tradition and Syncretism in Contemporary Religions written by Stefania Palmisano and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-09-28 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores manifestations of creativity in the religious domain. Specifically, the contributions focus on the nexus of the sacred and the creative, and the mechanisms of syncretism and (re)invention of tradition by which this manifestations occur. The text is divided into two sections. In the first, empirical cases of spirituality characterized by syncretistic processes are highlighted; in the second, examples which can be traced back to forms of the (re)invention of tradition are examined. The authors document possible forms of adaptations and religious enculturation. In the second, the authors demonstrate that spiritual traditions, whether ancient or historically fictitious, are suitable for reframing in the context of critical interpretative frameworks related to cultural expectations which challenge them and call their continuity into question.

Download or read book Terror in the Land of the Holy Spirit written by Virginia Garrard-Burnett and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2010-01-15 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between 1982 and 1983, in the name of anti-communism the military government of Guatemala prosecuted a scorched-earth campaign of terror against largely Mayan rural communities. Under the leadership of General Efrain Rios Montt, tens of thousands of people perished in what is now known as la violencia, or 'the Mayan holocaust.' Rios Montt, Guatemala's president-by-coup was, and is, an outspokenly born-again Pentecostal Christian - a fact that would seem to be at odds with the atrocities that took place on his watch. Virginia Garrard-Burnett's book is the first in English to view the Rios Montt era through the lens of history. Drawing on newly-available primary sources such as guerrilla documents, evangelical pamphlets, speech transcripts, and declassified US government records, she is able to provide a fine-grained picture of what happened during Rios Montt's rule. Looking back over Guatemalan history between 1954 and the late 1970s, she finds that three decades of war engendered an ideology of violence that cut across class, cultures, communities, religions, and even families. Many Guatemalans converted to Pentecostalism during this period, she says, because of the affinity between these churches' apocalyptic message and the violence of their everyday reality. Examining the role of outside players and observers: The US government, evangelical groups, and the media, she contends that self-interest, willful ignorance, and distraction permitted the human rights tragedies within Guatemala to take place without challenge from the outside world.
