Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Spiritualities: Past, Present, and Future - An Introduction is a scholarly analysis of contemporary spiritualities written in everyday language. Aside from describing the history, feelings, signposts, and sources of spirituality in this liminal age, it offers descriptions of ten classical and twenty marginal spiritualties that influence current spiritual ways of life. How these past and present spiritualities respond to the ever present realities of suffering and death and the contemporary challenges of diversity, environmental degradation, and injustice, challenges readers as to how they will grow their future spiritualities. This is a primer for those interested in understanding spiritualities and helping others deepen their own spirituality. It provides condensed information and common sense categories that enable a reader to intelligently read, discuss, and choose among the forty three million offerings on the web. The short history of spirituality in the West enables one to understand how spirituality has developed over the centuries and, especially, its current fragile relationship with the Classical religions. Anyone who reads this book will have at their fingertips the print and web resources for updating their information about these spiritualities, a glossary of key terms for discussing spiritualities, a list of do's and don'ts for spiritual listening, and a spiritual compass for making a spiritual journey.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Sacred Texts and Human Contexts describes the holy books of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam; provides multiple religious contexts for some of their common stories such as Adam and Eve and Cain and Abel; analyzes the challenges of enabling these ancient texts to be understood in today's world through the choice of proper contemporary language. It takes the bold step of re-reading the famed divisive texts of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam that are used to wage war, demand conversion, and divide humanity into the saved and the damned. It seeks the common ground among humanity by urging all to re-read three of the world's famous religious texts to find the common word between us rather than the destructive word that divides us. In the face of divisive and destructive religious pyrotechnics twenty-seven international scholars of religion affirm in this book what is common among Judaism, Christianity, and Islam; confront what is divisive among them; and deny the religious foundations for whatever causes death and destruction in our contemporary world.
