John Wiley and Sons Ltd Democracy Needs Religion
Book SynopsisWhat role does religion play in modern societies? Is it merely an anachronism that hinders our economic growth? Is it a kind of superstition that people should be left to enjoy in private but should refrain from discussing in public? It is no secret that the Christian churches in Western societies have massive problems quite apart from the recent scandals. Shrinking congregations are just one sign of their diminishing relevance. But what would happen to democracy if the resonance of religion were to fade entirely? Leading sociologist Hartmut Rosa addresses this fundamental question in a way that makes us think afresh about religion and the role it plays in our contemporary democratic societies. He argues that religion fosters a culture of dialogue, listening and reflection that allows us to form connections with others and experience the world as meaningful. This, in turn, helps citizens cultivate a democratic sensibility that can serve as an anchor in unstable times. With his charac

Red Wheel/Weiser Manifestation Wheel: A Practical Process for
Book SynopsisDrawing on his deep and profound knowledge of metaphysical laws including the Law of Attraction and the Law of Gestation, quantum physics, and our increasing understanding of energy fields, not to mention his work with thousands of people who want to bring change into their lives and the world, Alan Seale has written a book that can change the world.From the book:The Manifestation Wheel is a powerful system that can be used by individuals or organizations for turning ideas into results, dreams into reality. It is a practical, step-by-step model for shifting global consciousness one person and one organization at a time.There are eight houses on the Manifestation Wheel: intention, peace, energy, guidance, empowerment, action, surrender, legacy. Seale teaches a process that allows readers to tap into their own intuition and the collective consciousness. For example, intention - where we start - takes us beyond "I want" to "what wants to happen." When those two are in alignment amazing things can happen. The more our thoughts, beliefs, decisions and actions are in alignment the clearer our physical manifestation will be. We can use the process to find a new job or a new love. As we surrender to the process and manifest our legacy - even in those very personal projects - we are becoming more conscious of and contributing to the positive evolution of mass consciousness.

Baylor University Press Aldersgate and Athens: John Wesley and the
Book SynopsisIn his day, John Wesley offered important insights on how to obtain knowledge of God that readily bears fruit in our own times. As premiere Wesleyan scholar William Abraham shows, Wesley's most famous spiritual experience is rife with philosophical significance and implications. Throughout, Abraham brings Wesley's works into fruitful conversation with some of the most important work in contemporary epistemology. Lyrically and succinctly he explores the simultaneous epistemological quest and spiritual pilgrimage that were central to Wesley and the Evangelical Revival of the eighteenth century. In so doing, he provides a learned and eye-opening meditation upon the relationship between reason and faith.Trade Review"Abraham draws fascinating lines between Aldersgate and Athens that few could have imagined existed. Priority reading for philosophers of religion." --Jerry L. Walls, author of Heaven: The Logic of Eternal Joy and editor of The Oxford Handbook of Eschatology"This is Abraham at his best. His thought-provoking comments throughout will engage the serious reader for years to come." --Richard P. Heitzenrater, The Divinity School, Duke University...this book is a wonderful addition to any Wesleyan scholar's shelf. -- Lee M. Jefferson, Centre College -- Religious Studies ReviewWilliam J. Abraham... has given us a slim but rich volume on the epistemology he believes is extractable from Wesley's experience.... Abraham has done us all a favor by clearly and concisely organizing and arguing the evidence of Wesley's theological epistemology. The case he builds comes from a close reading of the text, and by bringing Wesley into conversation with modern philosophers of religion he has shown the continued relevance of this great evangelist and modern saint. -- Tony Hunt -- The Living Church, 2011[Aldersgate and Athens] encourages believers to look less to a reasoned faith proportionate to the objective (external or public) evidence for theism and more to a faith which generates its own certainty in the encounter with God in revelation and experience. -- Graham Gould, Leyton -- The Journal of Theological StudiesTable of Contents Preface Chapter 1 Faith and the Promises of God Chapter 2 Faith and Personal Experience of God Chapter 3 Faith and the Power of God Chapter 4 Faith and Divine Revelation

Signal Books Ltd The Four Roads to Heaven: France and the Santiago
Book Synopsis'There are four roads leading to Santiago, which combine to form a single road'So begins The Pilgrim's Guide, the world's first guidebook. Written early in the twelfth century by Benedictine monks, it served travellers taking part in the great pilgrimage of the Middle Ages, to the tomb of the apostle St James, the cousin of Christ, at Santiago de Compostela in north-west Spain. The four roads are all in France: from Paris in the north; from Vezelay in Burgundy; from Le Puy-en-Velay in the Massif Central; and from Arles in Provence - all threading their way across the country before joining as a single road in northern Spain. A step-by-step account of these four journeys through medieval France, the Guide's aim was to explain to pilgrims the religious sites they would see on their way to Santiago, but it also offered advice on where to stay, what to eat and drink, and how to avoid dishonest innkeepers and murderous boatmen.Edwin Mullins follows the same four roads as they exist today in the footsteps of those medieval travellers. He explores the magnificent churches, abbeys and works of art which are the proud legacy of the pilgrimage, as well as reconstructing a turbulent period of history that encompassed wars, crusades and the Reconquest of Spain. Many of the buildings and landmarks that sprang up along the pilgrim routes still stand there today, and The Four Roads to Heaven brings to life their historical, architectural and spiritual significance. From imposing Romanesque and Gothic cathedrals to humble pilgrims' hospices, this book looks at the living legacy of one of the great social phenomena of the Middle Ages - the pilgrimage to Santiago. Richly illustrated with Adam Woolfitt's colour photographs, The Four Roads to Heaven offers an invaluable guide - nine hundred years after its predecessor - to the paths still trodden by increasing numbers of pilgrims.Trade Review'Mullins combines armchair travel with social history in this enticing exploration of the pilgrimage to Santiago of Compostela. . . . Beyond an imaginative travelogue, Mullins also provides insights into the role of the pilgrimage during the re-Christianisation of Moorish Spain. Readers with an interest in European spiritual history or church architecture will appreciate this window into the lush world of medieval Christianity.' --Publishers Weekly; 'Writer/journalist/filmmaker Mullins (The Pilgrimage to Santiago) offers a detailed, enjoyable examination of 'the social phenomenon which has been the Santiago pilgrimage,' the ancient walk to the tomb of Saint James in Santiago de Compostela, Spain. . . . Numerous photographs show some of the statues and carvings described in the book. VERDICT: Essential for potential pilgrims and an excellent European history for others.'--Library Journal (starred review); 'There are other important pilgrimages in the world--to Jerusalem, Rome, and Mecca, for example--but the pilgrimage to Santiago has 'captured the imagination of Christian Europe' since St. James, the patron saint of Spain, became a symbol of fidelity. As Mullins traces the history of the odyssey to the apostle's shrine, he notes that singing was a popular component of the pilgrimage and special songs were written as poet-minstrels entertained the pilgrims. In other words, 'a pilgrimage could be fun.' Part medieval history and part modern-day travel guide, Mullins' in-depth volume, including colour photographs, brings St. James' story to life.' –Booklist; 'This is a hugely readable, erudite and evocative book and no one who loves the pilgrim roads, loves France's past--manifest in its architecture--and its present landscape could fail to enjoy it.'--Confraternity of Saint James Bulletin

Unicorn Publishing Group Faith in the City of London
Book SynopsisThe mention of ‘Faith in The City of London’ conjures up images of ceremonial events in St. Paul's Cathedral, but there are over 40 other Anglican churches, as well as Jewish, Dutch, Catholic and Welsh places of worship squeezed in between The Square Mile's towers of commerce. Intrigued by this incongruity, highly acclaimed London photographer Niki Gorick has gained unique access to capture the day-to-day workings of these ancient buildings and discovered a vibrant, diverse spiritual life stretching out into many faiths. This is a book about London and Londoners from a completely new angle, revealing a rich mix of characters, traditions and human interest stories. From weddings, communions, evangelical bible studies and Livery company carol services, to Knights Templar investitures, huge wet fish displays, Afghan music and vicars wielding knives, the photographs show an extraordinary range of spiritual goings-on and charismatic personalities. For the first time, it's possible to get a real insight into a side of London's Square Mile not dominated by money-making, where City workers are trying to connect to life's deeper meanings and where religious traditions and questions of faith are still very much alive.Trade Review"I am delighted that this book reveals and celebrates the city of London's very active and diverse spiritual life. It is an unheralded side to London's financial center that deserves to be better known and appreciated."--The Rt. Hon. The Lord Mayor Alderman William Russell

1517 Publishing The Alien and the Proper: Luther's Two-Fold
Book SynopsisIn his Galatians commentary of 1535, Martin Luther insists that "our theology" relies on the proper distinction of two kinds of righteousness: Alien and Proper. In relation to our Creator, we freely receive our "alien" righteousness from Christ who has obtained it for us through his death and resurrection. In relation to humanity and God's created order, we practice a "proper" righteousness by actively fulfilling God's commands that set down the form and pattern for good human living.The Alien and the Proper “helps us to appropriate Luther's theology as our theology as well.”— Mark Mattes, Lutheran Bible Institute Chair of Theology, Grand View UniversityLuther posited that this distinction was the key to understanding our humanity. His regular use of this anthropological principle, particularly when applied to justification by faith, the nature of sin, and the proper practice of God's gift of humanity, demonstrates its centrality and importance.In The Alien and the Proper, five authors examine the historical development of Luther's Twofold Righteousness and propose ways in which it can continue to serve Christians today. Through these essays you will learn about Luther's radical divergence from medieval theological formulations, and you will discover what it means to be human.Essays by: David A. Lumpp Charles P. Arand William W. Schumacher Joel Biermann Timothy Saleska Robert Kolb (editor)Trade ReviewThis book probes the beating theological heart of Luther's evangelical theology." - Michael J.

Springer Nature Switzerland AG Law, Religion and Tradition
Book SynopsisThis book explores different theories of law, religion, and tradition, from both a secular and a religious perspective. It reflects on how tradition and change can affect religious and secular legal reasoning, identifying the patterns of legal evolution within religious and secular traditions.It is often taken for granted that, even in law, change corresponds and correlates to progress – that things ought to be changed and they will necessarily get better. There is no doubt that legal changes over the centuries have made it possible to enhance the protection of individual rights and to somewhat contain the possibility of tyranny and despotism. But progress is not everything in law: stability and certainty lie at the core of the rule of law. Similarly, religions and religious laws could not survive without traditions; and yet, they still evolve, and their evolution is often intermingled with secular law.The book asks (and in some ways answers) the questions: What is the role of tradition within religions and religious laws? What is the impact of religious traditions on secular laws, and vice-versa? How are the elements of tradition to be identified? Are they the same within the secular and the religious realm? Do secular law and religious law follow comparable patterns of change? Do their levels of resilience differ significantly? How does the history of religion and law affect changes within religious traditions and legal systems?The overall focus of the book addresses the extent to which tradition plays a role in shaping and re-shaping secular and religious laws, as well as their mutual boundaries.Table of ContentsFrom the Secularisation Theory to the Pluralistic Approach: Reconciling Religious Traditions and Modernity in Italian Case-law.- The Blasphemy Laws of Pakistan: Experimenting with History and Tradition.- An Analysis of the Possibility of Fulfilling Gender Equality Within the Legal System of The Islamic Republic Of Iran (Iri).- Tradition's Edge: Interactions between Religious Tradition and Sexual Freedom.- The Inverted Relationship: Constitutive Theory of Law and the Enforcement of Orthodoxy in the book XVI of The Theodosian Code.- The Recent, and Sometimes Invented, Origins of Some “Longstanding” Traditions.- Law, Religion, and the Detraditionalization Of Europe.- Tradition as a Peacebuilding Tool.

Springer Nature Switzerland AG Reformation Hermeneutics and Literary Language in
Book SynopsisThe expressive and literary capacities of post-Reformation English were largely shaped in response to the Bible. Faith in the Language examines the convergence of biblical interpretation and English literature, from William Tyndale to John Donne, and argues that the groundwork for a newly authoritative literary tradition in early modern England is laid in the discourse of biblical hermeneutics. The period 1525-1611 witnessed a proliferation of English biblical versions, provoking a century-long debate about how and whether the Bible should be rendered in English. These public, indeed institutional accounts of biblical English changed the language: questions about the relation between Scripture and exegetical tradition that shaped post-Reformation hermeneutics bore strange fruit in secular literature that defined itself through varying forms of autonomy vis-a-vis prior tradition.Table of ContentsChapter 1: Introduction: Reformation Hermeneutics and Literary Language in Early Modern England.- Part I: Reformation Hermeneutics and the Meaning of English.- Chapter 2: Biblical Authority and the Meaning of English in the More-Tyndale Polemics.- Chapter 3: The Roman Inkhorn: Literary and Religious Resistance to Latinism in the English Renaissance.- Part II: Reformation Hermeneutics and Sidneian Poiesis.- Chapter 4: Biblical Hermeneutics and Poiesis in Philip Sidney’s Apology and the Sidney Psalter.- Part III: Reformation Hermeneutics and Post-Petrarchan Poetics.- Chapter 5: Tradition and Tautology in Shakespeare’s Sonnets.- Chapter 6: Tradition and Invention in the Songs and Sonets and Sermons of John Donne.

JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck) Die Anfänge von Weihnachten und Epiphanias: Eine
Book SynopsisDie wissenschaftliche Diskussion um die Entstehung von Weihnachten und Epiphanias kreist meist um zwei Entstehungshypothesen: Vor allem im angelsächsischen Sprachraum wird in der theologischen Literatur ein innerchristlicher Entstehungszusammenhang aufgrund von frühchristlichen Berechnungen favorisiert, während sonst meist auf parallele heidnische Feiern als Anlaß für die Entstehung der beiden Feste verwiesen wird. Eine derartige Parallelbildung eines christlichen Festes am Termin eines beliebten heidnischen Festes würde, so die weit verbreitete Ansicht, den heutigen Kenntnissen über die Inkulturation des Christentums entsprechen. Hans Förster zeigt, daß beide Hypothesen für die Entstehung von Weihnachten und Epiphanias die Situation des vierten Jahrhunderts nicht erklären können. Die Sonnensymbolik hat sicherlich zur Wahl des Festtermins entscheidend beigetragen. Sie konnte dies jedoch gerade deswegen, weil es eben kein paralleles römisches Sonnwendfest gab, das sich im vierten Jahrhundert besonderer Beliebtheit erfreut hätte. Das angeblich weit verbreitete und beliebte "Sol-Invictus-Fest" wurde vielmehr aufgrund einer höchst fragwürdigen Interpretation christlicher Quellen konstruiert; eine genaue Lektüre dieser Quellen vermag jedoch zu zeigen, daß es dieses Fest wahrscheinlich nicht gab, zumindest hat es sich um kein verbreitetes oder beliebtes Fest gehandelt. Dies bedeutet eine entscheidende Akzentverschiebung der gängigen Sicht des Christentums im vierten Jahrhundert.

JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck) Paulinische Theologie und Religionsgeschichte:
Book SynopsisDer 5. Band der Gesammelten Aufsätze umfasst 12 Arbeiten aus den Jahren 1995 bis 2008, die zumeist aus Vorträgen auf internationalen Tagungen hervorgegangen sind. Die auf Deutsch oder Englisch verfassten Untersuchungen sind in zwei Teile gruppiert. In Teil I befasst sich Hans Dieter Betz mit der Theologie des Paulus, in Teil II mit der griechisch-römischen Religionsgeschichte. Die Arbeiten zeigen die paulinische Theologie in Auseinandersetzung mit Themen der hellenistischen Religionsphilosophie (Ritus und Ethik des Herrenmahls, Anthropologie, Opfer, Weisheit, Selbsttäuschung und Selbsterkennntnis), sowie die Philosophen Dio von Prusa und Plutarch von Chaironeia bei der literarischen Behandlung ihrer eigenen Theologien (Religion und Ethik, Gottesverehrung und Gottesbild, Geschichte und Wunder, Apotheose und leeres Grab). Im Vergleich der Themen und Methoden wird exemplarisch deutlich, wie theologische Fragen nicht nur ein innerchristliches Reservat darstellen, sondern auch, wie Philosophen religiöse Fragen ihrer jeweiligen Tradition und Umwelt diskutieren.
