Download or read book New Patterns for Comparative Religion written by William E. Paden and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2016-05-19 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The cross-cultural study of religion has always gone hand in hand with the worldview, sciences, or intellectual frameworks of the time. These frames, whether focused on psychology or politics, gender or colonialism, bring out perspectives for understanding religious behavior. Today one of our common civic worldviews is represented in the shift from scriptural to evolutionary history. This volume brings together in one place key essays by professor emeritus William Paden, showing a progression of steps he has taken in exploring bridgeworks between comparative religion and evolutionary models of religious behavior. One of the leading scholars in religious studies, Paden shows ways that religion can be contextualized as part of the natural world and thus seen as reflecting the ingrained sociality and world-making drive of the human species. Paden argues that although comparativism has been challenged as too culture-bound, too western, or too gendered, cross-over categories and concepts between religious traditions cannot be avoided. Arguing that there are recurrent patterns of human behavior common to our species and that thereby underlie all cultures, he proposes that the missing link in the Religion Evolution debate is comparative religion, a global, cross-cultural perspective on religious behaviours throughout time. Each article is contextualized within this overall trajectory of thought within Paden's work and the history of the discipline as a whole.

Download or read book Supernatural and Natural Selection written by Lyle B. Steadman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-11-17 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spanning many different epochs and varieties of religious experience, this book develops a new approach to religion and its role in human history. The authors look across a range of religious phenomena-from ancestor worship to totemism, shamanism, and worldwide modern religions-to offer a new explanation of the evolutionary success of religious behaviors. Their book is more empirical and verifiable than most previous books on evolution and religion because they develop an approach that removes guesswork about beliefs in the supernatural, focusing instead on the behaviors of individuals. The result is a pioneering look at how and why natural selection has favored religious behaviors throughout history.
Download or read book Religion and Human Nature written by Keith Ward and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 1998-11-19 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Continuing Keith Ward's series on comparative religion, this book deals with religious views of human nature and destiny. The beliefs of six major traditions are presented: the view of Advaita Vedanta that there is one Supreme Self, unfolding into the illusion of individual existence; the Vaishnava belief that there is an infinite number of souls, whose destiny is to be released from material embodiment; the Buddhist view that there is no eternal Self; the Abrahamic belief that persons are essentially embodied souls; and the materialistic position that persons are complex material organisms. Indian ideas of rebirth, karma, and liberation from samsara are critically analysed and compared with semitic belief in the intermediate state of Sheol, Purgatory or Paradise, the Final Judgement and the resurrection of the body. The impact of scientific theories of cosmic and biological evolution on religious beliefs is assessed, and a form of 'soft emergent materialism' is defended, with regard to the soul. In this context, a Christian doctrine of original sin and atonement is presented, stressing the idea of soterial, as opposed to forensic, justice. Finally, a Christian view of personal immortality and the 'end of all things' is developed in conversation with Jewish and Muslim beliefs about judgement and resurrection.

This book was released on 2015-06-02 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Natural and Comparative Religion an Inaugural Lecture It is to the munificence of Dr. Henry Wilde that this University is indebted for the foundation of the Lectureship upon the duties of which I enter to-day, and it is by his desire that its subject is designated as Natural and Comparative Religion. This title suggests at first sight that two kinds or species of Religion are intended, both of which the Wilde Lecturer is required to discuss. But, on a closer consideration, the expression Comparative Religion is seen to be appropriate not so much to a kind of Religion as to a way of treating the subject of Religion; just as Comparative Anatomy means the treatment of anatomy by the comparative method, and Comparative Philology the treatment of language by the comparative method, so will Comparative Religion be no more than a compendious equivalent for some such phrase as 'Religion studied by the Comparative method.'

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a general introduction to the biological and evolutionary bases of religion and is suitable for introductory level courses in the anthropology and psychology of religion and comparative religion. Why did human ancestors everywhere adopt religious beliefs and customs? The presence and persistence of many religious features across the globe and time suggests that it is natural for humans to believe in the supernatural.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Well-known scholars in the study of religions bring up to date and elucidate the discussion on the three most debated approaches in comparative religion, namely, the hermeneutical approach, the explanatory or cognitivist approach, and the critical approach. The approaches and methods of studying religion are disputed in an outspoken and challenging way, critically and radically arguing pros and cons.
