Book Description
Excerpt from The Wisdom of God's Fools Studies in Spiritual Sagacity It is to the credit Of Naaman that he heeded the good advice Of his servants. Proud man that he was, he bowed his stubborn will and obeyed the command of Elisha. He did precisely what the prophet told him to do; he bathed himself not once or twice or three times, but seven times in the river Jordan, and his flesh came as the flesh Of a little child. Naaman became a fool for God's sake and the wisdom of God was demonstrated in the cure which followed. What had seemed Naaman's wisdom was Naaman's folly, and what had seemed foolishness in Naaman's eyes was in reality the deepest wisdom.

Excerpt from The Wisdom of God's Fools Studies in Spiritual Sagacity "Thou canst not prove the Nameless, O my son, Nor canst thou prove the world thou movest in, Thou canst not prove that thou art body alone, Nor canst thou prove that thou art spirit alone, Nor canst thou prove that thou art both in one, Thou canst not prove that thou art immortal, no, Nor yet that thou art mortal - nay, my son, Thou canst not prove that I, who speak with thee, Am not thyself in converse with thyself; For nothing worthy proving can be proven, Nor yet disproven: wherefore be thou wise, Cleave ever to the sunnier side of doubt, And cling to faith beyond the forms of faith!"

The Varieties of Religious Experience
Author: William James
Publisher: The Floating Press
ISBN: 1877527467
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 824
Book Description
Harvard psychologist and philosopher William James' The Varieties of Religious Experience: A Study in Human Nature explores the nature of religion and, in James' observation, its divorce from science when studied academically. After publication in 1902 it quickly became a canonical text of philosophy and psychology, remaining in print through the entire century. "Scientific theories are organically conditioned just as much as religious emotions are; and if we only knew the facts intimately enough, we should doubtless see 'the liver' determining the dicta of the sturdy atheist as decisively as it does those of the Methodist under conviction anxious about his soul. When it alters in one way the blood that percolates it, we get the Methodist, when in another way, we get the atheist form of mind."
