Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Depuis des milliers d'années, les hommes rendent un culte aux ancêtres qui rôdent autour des vivants, des sacrifices sont offerts, de l'encens monte vers le ciel, des oracles dirigent l'action des humains, des personnes disent entendre la voix des dieux ou de Dieu... Pour les fidèles de chaque religion, de telles affirmations sont des évidences. Vues de l'extérieur, elles paraissent déraisonnables comment peut-on y croire ? D'où viennent-elles et par quel aveuglement les prend-on pour réelles et efficaces ? Ces questions sont le point de départ de l'ouvrage qui tente d'éclairer cette multiplicité de croyances, de comprendre d'où elles viennent et de décrypter le fonctionnement des religions instituées. Il dégage, au-delà des surprenantes différences, les convergences de ces croyances et leurs rôles pour les individus et les sociétés. Enfin et surtout, la question radicale du pourquoi des religions est au cœur de cet essai. Que signifie, pour l'homme, l'affirmation de ces réalités invisibles ? Quel sens donner à ce phénomène particulier dans l'histoire des hommes ? Quelques pistes d'interprétation sont proposées ici, écho d'autres pistes déjà ouvertes et avancées nouvelles dans la voie de la compréhension du phénomène religieux.

Download or read book Polemic and Literature Surrounding the French Wars of Religion written by Jeff Kendrick and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2019-09-23 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Polemic and Literature Surrounding the French Wars of Religion demonstrates that literature and polemic interacted constantly in sixteenth-century France, constructing ideological frameworks that defined the various groups to which individuals belonged and through which they defined their identities. Contributions explore both literary texts (prose, poetry, and theater) and more intentionally polemical texts that fall outside of the traditional literary genres. Engaging the continuous casting and recasting of opposing worldviews, this collection of essays examines literature's use of polemic and polemic's use of literature as seminal intellectual developments stemming from the religious and social turmoil that characterized this period in France.

Download or read book Churches and Religion in the Second World War written by Jan Bank and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2016-03-24 with total page 625 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the wealth of historical literature on the Second World War, the subject of religion and churches in occupied Europe has been undervalued – until now. This critical European history is unique in delivering a rich and detailed analysis of churches and religion during the Second World War, looking at the Christian religions of occupied Europe: Catholicism, Lutheranism, Calvinism, and Orthodoxy. The authors engage with key themes such as relations between religious institutions and the occupying forces; religion as a key factor in national identity and resistance; theological answers to the Fascist and National Socialist ideologies, especially in terms of the persecution of the Jews; Christians as bystanders or protectors in the Holocaust; and religious life during the war. Churches and Religion in the Second World War will be of great value to students and scholars of European history, the Second World War and religion and theology.

Download or read book Catholic Engagement with World Religions written by Karl Josef Becker and published by Orbis Books. This book was released on 2010 with total page 1052 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Twenty-Five Element International Scholars show how roman catholic theology has grappled with religious pluralism. Catholic Engagement with World Religions outlines, clarifies, and defends official Roman Catholic teaching on the relationship between Christianity and other religious traditions in light of the Catholic belief that "We must hold that the Holy Spirit offers to all the possibility of being made partners, in a way known to God, in the paschal mystery".(Gaudium et Spes, 22) Part I studies the history of these issues while Part II examines their theological framing. Part III addresses Christianity and other religions since Vatican U. Part IV deals specifically with Judaism, Confucianism, Hinduism and Islam as these religions see themselves in relation to Christianity. A final chapter by Bishop Michael Fitzgerald offers a theological reflection on the foundations of interreligious dialogue today. For scholars, students, and practitioners of interreligious encounter, Catholic Engagement with World Religions is necessary and absorbing reading. Karl J. Becker, S.J., and Ilaria Morali teach at the Gregorian University in Rome.
