Book excerpt: "Is treating religion like a delicatessen menu a good thing? Can one legitimately be 60% Christian, 20% Buddhist, and 20% Jewish? Showing that these combinations are happening in varying degrees, Berthrong questions whether the combinations will have the power to stem the forces of impending ecological disaster, give people strength to weather trials, and whether communities and nations will find in them a foundation to make just decisions."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Download or read book The Divine Nature written by Simon Kittle and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-12-30 with total page 375 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first systematic treatment of the strengths and limitations of personal and a-personal conceptions of the divine. It features contributions from Jewish, Islamic, Chinese, Indian and naturalistic backgrounds in addition to those working within a decidedly Christian framework. This book discusses whether the concept of God in classical theism is coherent at all and whether the traditional understanding of some of the divine attributes need to be modified. The contributors explore what the proposed spiritual and practical merits and demerits of personal and a-personal conceptions of God might be. Additionally, their diverse perspectives reflect a broader trend within the analytic philosophy of religion to incorporate various non-Western religious traditions. Tackling these issues carefully is needed to do justice to the strengths and limitations of personal and a-personal accounts to the divine. The Divine Nature: Personal and A-Personal Perspectives will be of interest to scholars and advanced students working in philosophy of religion and philosophical theology.

Download or read book The Unknown God written by Mathew P. John and published by David C Cook. This book was released on 2020-03-01 with total page 151 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We live in the age of religious pluralism where all religions are considered the same and different paths lead to the same spiritual destination. It is important for Christians to learn how to affirm Jesus Christ as the only way to God—while also paying due respect to people of other faiths and worldviews. In The Unknown God: A Journey with Jesus from East to West, Mathew P. John explores the redemptive revelations lurking in the darkness outside the boundaries of Christian tradition. In this spiritual journey through six major world religions, readers encounter a variety of symbols that point to the Jesus of the Bible. From Hindu avatars and Buddhist bodhisattvas, to Sikh gurus and Muslim prophets, and the Jewish messiah, consider how different religions attempt to answer the deep longing for a savior ingrained in the collective conscience of humanity.

Download or read book The INTRAfaith Conversation How Do Christians Talk Among Ourselves About INTERfaith Matters written by Susan Strouse and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2016-03-18 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This crisp and cogent book by the Rev. Dr. Strouse is published at a time when both interfaith and intrafaith dialogue are critical to the vitality of spiritual life in our nation. As a parish pastor in a small, struggling congregation I have become increasingly aware of the insularity and isolation of many of our parishioners. This seems less the result of inadequate parish education as it is the byproduct of too many people getting their information from biased TV networks, so-called social media or word-of-mouth. We parish pastors need to examine our internal (intra-congregational) conversations about diverse faith traditions and how they bear on congregational mission. I was particularly impressed by the author's use of footnotes and her extensive bibliography. The book is a "walking-talking workshop" in print with its detailed reflection/discussion questions and suggestions for further reading. Thank you, Pastor Strouse, for such a comprehensive presentation of how to approach constructively this timely and important conversation." - Review by Richard G. Eddy.

Download or read book Passing Over and Returning written by Paul O. Ingram and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2013-10-23 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In Passing Over and Returning Paul O. Ingram describes his particular dialogue with the world's religions, illustrated by his experience of passing over into Hinduism, Buddhism, Daoism and Confucianism, Judaism, and Islam, and by his return to his home as a Lutheran Christian. While religious diversity is not new, neither are the questions posed by religious diversity. What is new is that more and more people are actively engaged with the world's religions because more and more people are willing to be informed by insights found in religious traditions other than their own. This is particularly true among progressive Christians. But openness does not necessarily mean rejecting one's own tradition, even though persons sometimes convert to another tradition or combine their original religious identity with the identity of another tradition. Whether one returns to the home of one's own faith tradition after passing over, or assumes a dual religious identity, or converts to another tradition, all persons engaged in interreligious dialogue undergo processes of creative transformation."
Download or read book Beneficiaries Of The Master s Divine Entitlements written by Dr. Perry Parker and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2022-10-12 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beneficiaries of the Master's Divine Entitlements was written using the backdrop of some of the Bible's most outstanding and beloved characters of faith (i.e., Abraham, Isaac, Joseph, and Jesus) to illustrate the power and efficacy of the audible Word spoken to them in the face of extreme hardship and challenges. In these contemporary times, we are very fortunate and blessed to have God's written Word that has the same power and efficacy to bring to fruition in our lives every promise God has made. The challenges that we face during our most difficult times are akin to Abraham trekking and traversing up the mountainside with Isaac, his son, in tow, oblivious that he was to be the sacrificial offering. Abraham, not knowing whether God would provide a substitute lamb or not, had the faith to declare to his beloved son Isaac, "God himself will provide a lamb for the burnt offering." And indeed, God did provide a sacrificial ram caught in a brier bush. The scriptures encourage all of us to walk and live by faith, trusting in the promises of God, even though our obstacles, our challenges, and our difficulties appear to be glaringly defying that God can't fix or change them. However, as beneficiaries of the Master's divine entitlements, you have the right to declare that God Himself will provide. The author gives a few examples of his own of how he became the beneficiary of the Master's divine entitlements through believing and trusting in the promises of God.

Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Christianity in Asia written by Felix Wilfred and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 685 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Named by the International Bulletin of Missionary Studies as an Outstanding Book of 2014 for Mission Studies Despite the ongoing global expansion of Christianity, there remains a lack of comprehensive scholarship on its development in Asia. This volume fills the gap by exploring the world of Asian Christianity and its manifold expressions, including worship, theology, spirituality, inter-religious relations, interventions in society, and mission. The contributors, from over twenty countries, deconstruct many of the widespread misconceptions and interpretations of Christianity in Asia. They analyze how the growth of Christian beliefs throughout the continent is linked with the socio-political and cultural processes of colonization, decolonization, modernization, democratization, identity construction of social groups, and various social movements. With a particular focus on inter-religious encounters and emerging theological and spiritual paradigms, the volume provides alternative frames for understanding the phenomenon of conversion and studies how the scriptures of other religious traditions are used in the practice of Christianity within Asia.

Download or read book Religion Politics Media in the Broadband Era written by Alice Bach and published by Sheffield Phoenix Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Religion has gone public; and the much-discussed political pendulum has been swinging widely in its effort to keep up with the eruptions of faith swelling the broadband. Private faith finds very public outlets through the media's appetite for voices and choices. Faith-based networks have become media-savvy, urging their members to send barrages of emails, faxes, telephone calls, letters of praise or outrage to politicians. Those same politicians return the volley, using the broadcast media with great skill, wooing the faithful, convincing the cynical that God is on their side. Only a deity could be on so many sides simultaneously. Alice Bach's new book reflects her long-time focus on the Bible, religion and culture. Popular religion is expressed within our culture in rock videos, televangelism, political rhetoric, children's books, films and animations. Every sort of media from print to electronic to broadband is imbued with subtle and blatant religious imagery. The media are new; the message is not. The tightly woven pattern of religion, politics and media has been part of the American fabric since the country was founded. When one examines this cultural cloth, threads of varying colours are revealed, threads whose twists reflect both media coverage of religion and religious views of the media.
