About the Book

Christian theology is the theology of Christian belief and practice, the study of which concentrates on the texts of the Old and New Testaments, and on Christian tradition. Christian theologians utilize biblical exegesis, rational analysis and argument in their studies. The sub-discipline of Systematic theology formulates an orderly, rational and coherent account of Christian faith and beliefs drawing on the foundational sacred texts of Christianity. Over the centuries Christian theology has permeated and influenced much of Western culture, especially in pre-modern Europe.

Also in this Book

Religious education refers to the teaching of a particular religion and its key characteristics, such as: beliefs, doctrines, rituals, customs, rites, and roles of the faithful. In Western and secular culture, religious education implies a type of education which is largely separate from the dominant secular curriculum, and is undertaken on a voluntary basis by believers. In societies that adhere to religious law, "religious education" is an inherent part of the core curriculum, which teaches doctrines that define social customs as laws, with violations of them being treated as crimes, or at least misdemeanors requiring punitive action.

And in this Book

The history of religion refers to the written record of human religious customs, practices and ideas across several millennia. It begins with the invention of writing 5,200 years ago. The prehistory of religion refers to the study of religious beliefs in existence prior to the emergence of written records, which time varies for different cultures.

About the Author:

Max Ehrmann was an attorney turned philosopher-poet who lived in Terre Haute, Indiana. He spent his life wrestling with the realities of making a living and following his personal calling to a life of poetry, literature, and thought. Ehrmann wrote A Prayer, which became a message of hope for thousands, but he is best known for Desiderata, which he wrote for himself, ?because it counsels those virtues I felt myself most in need of.? Ehrmann included this work as part of a personal Christmas greeting in 1933, and Desiderata's power and appeal have continued to reach out to and significantly affect readers ever since. Ehrmann died in 1945.
