Perceiving God: The Epistemology of Religious Experience

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Alston, William P., PUBLISHER: Cornell University Press, In this clear and provocative account of the epistemology of religious experience, William P.

Surveying the variety of reported direct experiences of God, Alston demonstrates that a person can be justified in holding certain beliefs about God on the basis of mystical experience.

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Miller, J. Hillis, PUBLISHER: University of Illinois Press, A landmark work of literary criticism by one of the foremost interpreters of nineteenth-century England, The Disappearance of God confronts the consciousness of an absent (though perhaps still existent) God in the writings of Thomas De Quincey, Robert Browning, Emily Bronte, Matthew Arnold, and Gerard Manley Hopkins. J.

Visions of God: Four Medieval Mystics and Their Writings

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Armstrong, Karen, PUBLISHER: Bantam, The mystics of the twelfth and thirteenth centuries were, writes Karen Armstrong, like "the astronauts of our own day. They broke into a new religion, blazed a new trail to God and to the depths of the self, a trail far from the beaten pilgrimage paths of Chaucer and Langland." Mysticism is a spiritual mystery shared in some form by all faiths; it has a supernatural quality that extends beyond the given boundaries of religious creed and may be experienced by any lay person. The thrilling intensity of a mystical experience, as represented in this volume by the writings of four mystics of the Middle Ages, can inspire other spiritual seekers with its insight into the limitless wonder of both human and divine experience. Dissatisfied by the strictures of dogma and a religion that failed to quench the human thirst for knowledge of a mystical order, these four mystics--Richard Rolle of Hampole, Walter Hilton, Dame Julian of Norwich, and the unknown author of "The Cloud Of Unknowing" --communicate an intense and passionate experience of faith rare in any time. Because of their unique beliefs and spiritual strength, their knowledge and writings have proved timeless, and in this beautiful volume show contemporary seekers important new insights into the nature of divine love.

Blessing La Politica: The Latino Religious Experience and

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Vargas-Ramos, Carlos / Stevens-Arroyo, Anthony M., PUBLISHER: Praeger, " Blessing" La Pol?tica" The Latino Religious Experience and Political Engagement in the United States" presents a corrective challenge to the authoritative conclusion by the book "Voice and Equality: Civic Voluntarism in American Politics" that Latinos are less likely to become involved in politics because of the predominant Catholic beliefs of this demographic. Through comprehensive analysis of the political tendencies of Latinos and Latinas of faith, the findings in this work consistently counterpoint those conclusions from a variety of perspectives and methodologies. The research presented in the book comprises surveys that are national in scope--both of elites, and at the mass level--as well as localized in cities. The authors have also collected ethnographies that are localized in U.S. cities and transnational in nature. The result is both a broad view of Latino politics and religion, and detailed information that provides far more context that is possible in national-level quantitative studies.

Your Redemptive Healing: Experience God's Freedom, Wholeness

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: McCray, Jan, PUBLISHER: Chosen Books, God intends families to live together in an atmosphere of love, acceptance, forgiveness, and respect. Yet in every family, people experience pain, rejection, and disappointment. Jan McCray reminds readers that God is a God of covenant and that his extravagant love has already secured our redemptive healing. In Your Redemptive Healing, McCray emphasizes that any true, long-term healing requires us to acknowledge and deal with the hurts of the past. "Many in the Body of Christ are treating the symptoms of their wounded pasts instead of allowing God to uncover and heal the root causes," says McCray. She provides practical step-by-step solutions, based on Jesus' work on the cross, for true freedom and redemptive healing that transforms the whole person-mind, body, and spirit. Divided into three main sections, God's Freedom Appreciated, God's Wholeness Appropriated, and God's Blessing Activated, McCray reminds us that it takes time for God to heal our emotions. By combining stories from her counseling, experiences from her own past, and answers from God's Word, McCray shows readers how to find freedom from the pain of the past and live in the victory Jesus has already won for us.

The Price of Freedom Denied: Religious Persecution and

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Grim, Brian J. / Finke, Roger, PUBLISHER: Cambridge University Press, The Price of Freedom Denied shows that, contrary to popular opinion, ensuring religious freedom for all reduces violent religious persecution and conflict. Others have suggested that restrictions on religion are necessary to maintain order or preserve a peaceful religious homogeneity. Brian J. Grim and Roger Finke show that restricting religious freedoms is associated with higher levels of violent persecution. Relying on a new source of coded data for nearly 200 countries and case studies of six countries, the book offers a global profile of religious freedom and religious persecution. Grim and Finke report that persecution is evident in all regions and is standard fare for many. They also find that religious freedoms are routinely denied and that government and the society at large serve to restrict these freedoms. They conclude that the price of freedom denied is high indeed.
