Spiritual Bankruptcy
Author: John B. Cobb JR.
Publisher: Abingdon Press
ISBN: 1426720122
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 239
Book Description
In these times many people feel that their cherished religious values are held hostage by the forces of secularization and that, as a consequence, society is morally bankrupt. While acknowledging this problem, John Cobb overturns the prevailing expectations by drawing a distinction between secularization and secularism. Secularization, as Cobb uses the term, has a prophetic function. It is a process by which religion is cleansed and refocused on mission and ministry rather than on other-worldly myths and concerns. The uncritical understanding of religion that focuses on religion for its own sake is what Cobb calls secularism. In Cobb’s view, secularization has led to secularism or a culture of consumerism that threatens those very religious convictions many hold dear. After teasing the concepts of secularization and secularism apart, Cobb proposes an alternate path for secularization that will help us reevaluate our relation to our world and each other.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Bankruptcy of Religion This is not so much due to levity as to the appall ing growth of the controversy. Under the pressure of a searching and many-sided criticism religious discussion has assumed almost the proportions of an encyclopaedia. Busy men and women have not time to read it all; and they are warned not to form a dogmatic opinion until they have read both sides. They have retorted by declining to read either side. Life is just large enough, they say, for work and a little play and a little thinking about our material interests. Let us eat and drink, for to-morrow we die. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at www.forgottenbooks.com This book is a reproduction of an important historical work.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Bankruptcy of Religion The war has succeeded in enkindling an interest in religion which recalls the Victorian struggle of "science and theology." It is not questioned by the clergy that there has been for some decades an increasing deafness to their appeals; nor will it be questioned by most of the opponents of the clergy that this decay of church-going was very largely due to a weariness of appeal and counter-appeal. We have outlived the days when a Bradlaugh or a Brewin Grant could attract an immense and enthusiastic crowd of artisans to hear a spirited argument about the immortality of their souls. This is not so much due to levity as to the appalling growth of the controversy. Under the pressure of a searching and many-sided criticism religious discussion has assumed almost the proportions of an encyclopedia. Busy men and women have not time to read it all; and they are warned not to form a dogmatic opinion until they have "read both sides." They have retorted by declining to read either side.
