Book SynopsisAre there viable pathways from nature to God? Natural theology is making a comeback, stimulated as much by scientific advance as by theological and philosophical reflection. There is a growing realization that the sciences raise questions that transcend their capacity to answer them--above all, the question of the existence of God. So how can...

Hamilton Books The Mythology of Eden The Originspb
Book SynopsisArthur and Elena George utilize new historical and archaeological discoveries to reveal how the author of the Eden story uses veiled symbolism and mythological storytelling to convey his message about the most profound questions of human existence regarding the divine, life, death, and immortality.Trade ReviewIt is one of the most familiar stories in the human canon: Adam and Eve, the Garden of Eden, the tree of knowledge of good and evil, the forbidden fruit, and the serpent. We know the story, but how many of us have really thought about what it means? I’ve always admired the focus and rigor of scholars who take a subject and examine it exhaustively, first from one perspective, then another, turning it like a prism in sunlight. This is what Arthur George and his wife, Elena George, have done with The Mythology of Eden. Examining the Eden tale in minute detail — and with numerous footnotes — the Georges employ their combined and considerable knowledge of mythology, archaeology, history, psychology, and religion to parse new meanings from a story that is fundamental in the Christian world. * Santa Barbara Independent *What a fascinating book! Though it starts with and returns to an analysis of the second creation story in Genesis, The Mythology of Eden is about far more than that particular myth. It includes material on the backgrounds of the likely authors of the two Genesis creation stories and two other likely authors of the rest of the Hebrew Scriptures, the history of the Ancient Near East (ANE) before and during biblical times as well as information that has been gathered in recent years from archeology and anthropology. And yes, there is material on the role of polytheism, including Goddess worship, especially of Asherah and Astarte. The book places the development of religion, religious beliefs, and practices in the context of the sociopolitical development of the ANE, including Egypt, Canaan, Palestine, and other cultures. . . .I consider The Mythology of Eden to be overall a very valuable book and expect it to be especially useful to people researching or teaching the Bible, the history of the Ancient Near East, Goddess history, and to the intellectually curious and many others. * Medusa Coils *A rich and well-illustrated work viewing the Eden story in its own natural genre as myth against the background of ancient Near Eastern mythology from which the mythological symbols in the story came. The book successfully clarifies many important aspects of the story that have eluded earlier interpreters, including the full meaning of the symbols used in the story, the goddess lurking in the background, and the cosmic nature of evil and sin. -- William G. Doty, emeritus professor and chair of religious studies, University of Alabama, author of Mythography: The Study of Myths and Myth: A HandbookA work of impeccable scholarship and interdisciplinary expertise that unfolds like a gripping detective story, affording us one illuminating insight after another. It is essential reading for anyone wanting to gain a clearer understanding of the mythic and psychological dynamics that have shaped Western civilization. -- Keiron Le Grice, professor of depth psychology in the Jungian and Archetypal Studies Program, Pacifica Graduate Institute, Santa Barbara, and author of The Archetypal Cosmos and The Rebirth of the HeroA comprehensive, illuminating, and profound study of the primary myth of Western civilization that elucidates its far-reaching effects on our culture and the great questions of our time. -- Anne Baring, Jungian analyst; author of The Dream of the Cosmos: a Quest for the Soul, co-author of The Myth of the GoddessThe Mythology of Eden is important to the mythology sector in many ways. As a well-researched and illustrated treatise on the history of the Garden of Eden, it is well worth the read. But as a source and segue to more contemporary issue concerning the old vs. new myth argument now percolating, it may prove even more important. -- Willi Paul, writer and publisher at NewMythologist.com and PlanetShifter.comTable of ContentsPreface Introduction: Mythology and the Eden Story Chapter 1: Who Wrote the Eden Story?

Liturgical Press Worship and the New Cosmology Liturgical and Theological Challenges
Book SynopsisLiturgical and Theological ChallengesTrade Review"In this volume, Catherine Vincie invites the reader to theologically delve deeper as she promotes the church's position on the relationship between science and religion, which is one of harmony. She encourages all to encounter the Holy as she names the right relationship of the human with God and all of creation while offering antidotes to challenge hubris' narrow views on the subject." Very Rev. David G. Caron, OP, President, Aquinas Institute of Theology"Postmodern consciousness locates our Christian community on a small planet earth within a vast expanding universe. Postmodern Christian theology invites us to recognize the post-resurrection cosmic Christ at the heart of this universe. Unfortunately, the church's sacramental and liturgical life-world is not yet attuned to this contemporary thought-world, and Vincie dares to name and explore this challenge to the praying church. What she offers her readers is not a clear resolution of a self-evident problem but rather the gift of a serious question for a renewing Christian liturgy." Mary Collins, OSB, Mount St. Scholastica, Atchison, Kansas; Professor Emerita, The Catholic University of America"Vincie makes a timely and persuasive argument that the worship and sacramental life of the Christian churches must be transformed in light of the amazing discoveries of science and the insights of the New Cosmology. She provides a digest of emerging theologies of creation, Trinity, Christology, and pneumatology, as these have been shaped by a new cosmic consciousness, and offers samples of liturgical prayers, hymn texts, and an expanded festal calendar that reflect a more ecologically sensitive and cosmocentric awareness. A much-needed book!" Mary E. McGann, RSCJ, Associate Professor of Liturgical Studies, Jesuit School of Theology/Graduate Theological Union"An ambitious and timely reflection on the possible intersection of science and liturgy. Catherine Vincie is one of the first theologian/liturgists to advance the evolving conversation between religion and the scientific community. Recommended for all theological libraries."John Leonard Berg, Catholic Library World"Vincie presents her own suggestions about how such a revisioning might influence the theologies of baptism and confirmation, the Eucharist, and sacramental reconciliation, including some practical suggestions about the liturgical calendar and particular prayer texts."Joseph Matros, Aquinas Institute of Theology, St. Louis, Theological Studies"A compelling and creative theological take on advances in the last century."Louvain Studies
