Eternal Values in Religion
Author: James Bissett Pratt
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 182
Book Description
"James Bissett Pratt was one of the most eminent religious psychologists of our times. In the present book he clearly evidences both the questing mind of the scientist and the fervent spirit of the believer. While the book is made up of a group of seven essays, through it all runs the theme that man's purpose on earth should be a voyage of discovery into the spiritual world, a quest to come nearer to the Creator of the universe. In the first two essays on worship, Dr. Pratt contrasts liturgical and non-liturgical churches and emphasizes the importance of beauty in music, architecture, stained glass; the use of symbolism, he feels, is a vital part of religion. After these opening chapters on worship the book continues with a wider discussion of the values of religion. It is Dr. Pratt's honest belief that the time will never come—no matter how far science advances—when man need give up his faith in the essential kinship between the human spirit and a spiritual Beyond. Religion, he believes, is greater than morality. It is not simply a way of acting toward one's fellow men; it is a way of feeling toward the great Determiner of Destiny. We need, he writes, to see the Unseen for ourselves. After reading this sincere and deeply devotional book it is easy to see how Dr. Pratt's influence spread far beyond the Williams' campus where he taught and affected the thinking of a whole generation of liberal scholars."-Publisher.

The Eternal Current
Author: Aaron Niequist
Publisher: WaterBrook
ISBN: 0735291179
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 210
Book Description
A call for Christians to move past the shallows of idealized beliefs and into a deeper, more vibrant, beatitude-like faith rooted in sacred practices and intimate experiences with God. When the limits of his own faith experience left him feeling spiritually empty, Niequist determined God must have a wider vision for worship and community. In his search, Aaron discovered that there was historical Christian precedent for enacting faith in a different way, an ancient and now future way of believing. He calls this third way "practice-based faith." This book is about loving one's faith tradition and, at the same time, following the call to something deeper and richer. By adopting some new spiritual practices, it is possible to learn to swim again with a renewed sense of vigor and divine purpose.

Pantheologies
Author: Mary-Jane Rubenstein
Publisher: Columbia University Press
ISBN: 0231548346
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 500
Book Description
Pantheism is the idea that God and the world are identical—that the creator, sustainer, destroyer, and transformer of all things is the universe itself. From a monotheistic perspective, this notion is irremediably heretical since it suggests divinity might be material, mutable, and multiple. Since the excommunication of Baruch Spinoza, Western thought has therefore demonized what it calls pantheism, accusing it of incoherence, absurdity, and—with striking regularity—monstrosity. In this book, Mary-Jane Rubenstein investigates this perennial repugnance through a conceptual genealogy of pantheisms. What makes pantheism “monstrous”—at once repellent and seductive—is that it scrambles the raced and gendered distinctions that Western philosophy and theology insist on drawing between activity and passivity, spirit and matter, animacy and inanimacy, and creator and created. By rejecting the fundamental difference between God and world, pantheism threatens all the other oppositions that stem from it: light versus darkness, male versus female, and humans versus every other organism. If the panic over pantheism has to do with a fear of crossed boundaries and demolished hierarchies, then the question becomes what a present-day pantheism might disrupt and what it might reconfigure. Cobbling together heterogeneous sources—medieval heresies, their pre- and anti-Socratic forebears, general relativity, quantum mechanics, nonlinear biologies, multiverse and indigenous cosmologies, ecofeminism, animal and vegetal studies, and new and old materialisms—Rubenstein assembles possible pluralist pantheisms. By mobilizing this monstrous mixture of unintentional God-worlds, Pantheologies gives an old heresy the chance to renew our thinking.
