Download or read book When Culture Overrules God and Reason written by S. N. Duru and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2012-12 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For over two thousand years, civilization has failed to live up to the expectations expounded by the Christian religion. The last century alone saw two world wars, a cold war, and numerous other politically and racially motivated conflicts. Where was Christianity amidst all that turmoil? It was also believed that the end of colonial rule in Africa, Asia, and the Caribbean would usher in an era of peace and prosperity, but the result has been decades of civil war, genocide, and corruption in those regions. Author S.N. Duru theorizes that the cause of this leap-frogging from crisis to crisis is that society has allowed culture to take precedence over faith and reason. When Culture Overrules God and Reason addresses the issues that form the foundation of Duru's theory, and provides a workable resolution for the nations of the world. It is an impassioned call to action to correct civilization's current state of being....

Download or read book Speaking Grief in English Literary Culture written by Margo Swiss and published by Pittsburgh, Pa. : Duquesne University Press. This book was released on 2002 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Grief is a universal emotion expressed in response to numerous forms of loss or bereavement. Expressing grief has been subject to varying degrees of religious and social constraint in different periods of history and in different cultures and traditions. This collection of 12 essays by both established and newer scholars explores the question of grief expression in a wide variety of writers and genres in the period from Shakespeare to Milton. Contributors examine lyric poems and plays as well as prose works such as sermons, diaries, and medical treatises to disclose the challenges faced by writers of both sexes in dealing with the trauma of loss. The roots of grief expression in personal experience or collective loss, or as described in scientific speculation or literary forms, demonstrate both the complexity and the centrality of this subject in the social and literary history of the period. Actors debate the topic of sorrow, poets wrestle with decorum and sincerity, women diarists confide their private feelings, clerics admonish the grieving with the consolations of faith, and writers discover the limitations of language and articulation in seeking to express sorrow. In the aftermath of deconstructive analyses of literature, there has been a discernible turn toward rediscovering the emotional textures of literature. The subject of grief is a good example of this trend, and this collection is one of the first efforts to address this theme in relation to a specific period of literary history.

Download or read book Life After Faith written by Philip Kitcher and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2014-10-28 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although there is no shortage of recent books arguing against religion, few offer a positive alternative—how anyone might live a fulfilling life without the support of religious beliefs. This enlightening book fills the gap. Philip Kitcher constructs an original and persuasive secular perspective, one that answers human needs, recognizes the objectivity of values, and provides for the universal desire for meaningfulness. Kitcher thoughtfully and sensitively considers how secularism can respond to the worries and challenges that all people confront, including the issue of mortality. He investigates how secular lives compare with those of people who adopt religious doctrines as literal truth, as well as those who embrace less literalistic versions of religion. Whereas religious belief has been important in past times, Kitcher concludes that evolution away from religion is now essential. He envisions the successors to religious life, when the senses of identity and community traditionally fostered by religion will instead draw on a broader range of cultural items—those provided by poets, filmmakers, musicians, artists, scientists, and others. With clarity and deep insight, Kitcher reveals the power of secular humanism to encourage fulfilling human lives built on ethical truth.
