Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Belief in God and Immortality a Psychological, Anthropological, and Statistical Study God, the soul, and immortality constitute, according to general opinion, the great framework of religion. In an earlier book I have considered the origin, the nature, the function, and the future of the belief in what I have called "personal" gods. The present volume is a similar study of the belief in personal immortality. Chapters one to four treat of the origin, the nature, and the function of this belief. They show in particular that two quite different conceptions of personal immortality have been successively elaborated; and that the modern conception is not a growth from the primary belief, but an independent creation, differing radically from it in point of origin, in nature, and in function. Whereas the primary belief was forced upon men irrespective of their wishes as an unavoidable interpretation of certain patent facts (chiefly the apparition of deceased persons in dreams and in visions), the modern belief was born of a desire for the realization of ideals. The first came to point to an exclusively wretched existence, and prompted men merely to guard against the possible danger to them arising from ghosts; the second contemplated from the first endless continuation in a state of completed or increased perfection, and incited the living to ceaseless efforts in order to make themselves fir for that blessed consummation.

This book was released on 2017-07-27 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Attitude Toward Death and the Types of Belief in Immortality: A Study in the Psychology of Religion Unquestionably the belief in a future life needs to be sub mitted to a psychological analysis in order that its motive force may be more intelligently and effectively utilized. Psychology cannot, it is true, determine the ontological validity of the belief in immortality and in this paper we shall not attempt to discuss that phase of the problem. We shall not raise the question as to whether man is or is not immortal, - that may well be left for the philosophers and theologians. Our problem is to determine the sources Of the belief 111 Immortality, to find the value of these as controls of conduct, and finally to indicate the pragmatic or pedagogical application of the results to moral and religious education.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Immortality: A Study of Belief and Earlier Addresses It is thirty years ago this spring since Dr. Clarke preached his first sermon in the old historic church at Hamilton, New York, where I was then a student. The words with which he began his ministry were, "The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all," and for three years, Sunday after Sunday, he laid upon us the peace and benediction of his spirit. We were not aware that one of the foremost religious thinkers of our time was offering us the ripest fruits of his experience and meditation. The books that were to affect so powerfully the thought of our day were not yet written; but we knew, those of us, at least, who had ears to hear, that we were in the presence of a teacher who spoke to our minds and hearts as no teacher had ever done. "A word spoken in due season, how good it is!" was one of his texts, and a characteristic one. All his words were in season, for they were all charged with reality and sincerity, and they all "found" us. It seems, as one looks back upon it, as if a better type of preaching for college men could hardly be imagined, and I rejoice to remember that it seemed so then. While the sermon was going forward, one had no time to think of the method, so absorbing was the development of the theme, so moving the quiet application of it; but when it was over, one had leisure to reflect upon the marvelous simplicity of manner, the faultless adequacy of phrase.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Belief in Immortality: Its Physiological Origin; Its Theological Development; Its Scientific Decline; Its Practical Effect on the Well-Being of Human Lifey The Theology of death (formulated prior to the attainment of such knowledge) has been superseded by the Physiology of death (formulated on the basis of such knowledge). Death in the contemplation of theology a penalty, and only a partial termination of human existence. Theological development of the doctrine of Immortality, with illustrations from The Imitation of Christ, ' Law's Serious Call, ' - and the Burial Service in 'the Book of Common Prayer.' The belief in a life after death has arisen from the constant occurrence of premature death, and the mental faculties being, on the approach of such death, in vigour and activity, hence still desiring continued life, and expecting a future existence. Illustrations from Plato's account of the thoughts of Socrates under sentence of death; Shakspere's soliloquy of Hamlet contemplating suicide; Addison's description of the reflections of Cato about to commit self-destruction; Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress composed in apprehension of premature death in Bedford jail. Premature deaths in general a direct consequence of N ature's law of over-production of life, discovered by the Geologists, and, as regards human life, by Malthus and Darwin, showing that more human beings are recklessly brought into existence than can possibly live to attain to death through organic decay; thevast majority of actual deaths being life cut short by various diseases ('nature's terrible correctives of redundancy occasioned by poverty and privation, overcrowding, intemperance, vice, and breeding from the unfit. Human intelligence a true Sanitary Science) ought so to regulate the multiplication of man as to stamp out premature deaths, with all their attendant diseases, superstition, and misery. Probability that on the decline of premature deaths the belief in immortality, or the expectation of any future life, would also decline. Illustrations from the Life of George Combe, - the Autobiographies of Charles Bray and Harriet Martineau.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Christian Hope: A Study in the Doctrine of Immortality Theology is less a single science than an ency clopaedia of sciences indeed all the sciences which have to do with man have a better right to be called theological than anthropological, though the man it studies is not simply an individual but a race. Its way of viewing man is indeed characteristic; from this have come some of its brighter ideals and some of its darkest dreams. The ideals are all either ethical or social, and would make of earth a heaven, creating fraternity amongst men and forming all states into a goodly sisterhood the dreams may be represented by doctrines which concern sin on the one side and the will of God on the other. But even this will cannot make sin luminous, for were it made radiant with grace, it would cease to be sin.

Download or read book Defensible Faith written by Robert Ryan and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2023-07-19 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A persistent dumbing down of religious faith and the perception that science is the only path to truth are key reasons the Nones, those with no religious affiliation, represent nearly fifty percent of all young adults in America today. God and science are falsely portrayed as conflicted and innately incompatible. Afraid to offend this new status quo, and unable to defend religious beliefs against increasingly aggressive intellectual bullying, the young have flocked to the safety of no belief. In Defensible Faith, author Robert Ryan demonstrates that God and science are both true and are both necessary in understanding ourselves and the world around us. He looks at how science provides many compelling arguments for belief in God as well as the more philosophical justifications for faith and the evidential basis supporting Christianity. If you have ever struggled to defend your faith in an intellectually well-reasoned manner, then let this book be your guide.
