A Restatement of Religion by Jyotirmaya Sharma Pdf
In this third installment of his comprehensive history of "India's religion" and reappraisal of Hindu identity, Professor Jyotirmaya Sharma offers an engaging portrait of Swami Vivekananda and his relationship with his guru, the legendary Ramakrishna. Sharma's work focuses on Vivekananda's reinterpretation and formulation of diverse Indian spiritual and mystical traditions and practices as "Hinduism" and how it served to create, distort, and justify a national self-image. The author examines questions of caste and the primacy of the West in Vivekananda's vision, as well as the systematic marginalization of alternate religions and heterodox beliefs. In doing so, Professor Sharma provides readers with an incisive entryway into nineteenth- and twentieth-century Indian history and the rise of Hindutva, the Hindu nationalist movement. Sharma's illuminating narrative is an excellent reexamination of one of India's most controversial religious figures and a fascinating study of the symbiosis of Indian history, religion, politics, and national identity. It is an essential story for anyone interested in the evolution of one of the world's great religions and its role in shaping contemporary India.
The Old Faith Restated by James Harvey Garrison Pdf
Excerpt from The Old Faith Restated: Being a Restatement, by Representative Men, of the Fundamental Truths and Essential Doctrines of Christianity as Held and Advocated by the Disciples of Christ in the Light of Experience and Biblical Research On a chill autumn evening in 1889, the editor of this Volume sat alone 'n front of a cheerful grate, at his home, pondering over the state of current religious thought and the condition and needs of the religious movement with which his life and labors have been identified. His meditation at length took the form of an anxious inquiry as to what he could do to promote the welfare of the Current Reformation and to assist in guiding it safely through the perils which beset it from within and without. After much serious thought over this problem, and after availing himself of the promise, If any of you lack wisdom let him ask of God, who giveth to all men liberally and upbraideth not, and it shall be given him, he took up his pen and at once outlined the work substantially as it is herein presented. In such a mood of soul, superinduced by such conditions, this work, in its purpose, plan and scope, was conceived. The eminent men to whom was committed the several parts, all accepted the work assigned them, and, in God's good providence, were all spared to complete the same. The series of articles thus planned ran through the entire volume of the christian evangelist for the year 1890, awakening deep interest and exciting general comment. They have since been carefully revised by their respective authors, and are now presented to the public in the present form, as originally contemplated. The underlying thought of the book, as its title indicates, was to present a fresh and independent re-statement of the great truths and principles of Christianity as they are apprehended, held and advocated by representative men of the Current Reformation (0-day. It is believed that now, after the lapse of three-quarters of a century since the inauguration of this movement for the restoration of New Testament Christianity and the unity of Christians, when the bitterness engendered by the intellectual conflicts incident to our earlier history has been removed or greatly assuaged, and when there has been time to test the value of the doctrine, and to learn much in the school of actual experience, it is possible to present a calm and dispassionate statement of the whole ground of our movement, which will more fully and fairly represent the genius and spirit of our plea than any presentation made at an earlier date in our history.

Cosmic Love and Human Apathy: Swami Vivekananda's Restatement of Religion by Jyotirmaya Sharma Pdf
The truth is rarely simple. The common consensus is that Swami Vivekananda, as Sri Ramakrishna's chosen disciple, spread his master's message across the world. The fact, though, is that after Ramakrishna's death in 1886, Vivekananda not only shifted the devotional emphasis of the new monastic order from Kali to Shiva, he also embraced a world far removed from Ramakrishna's - a world that was rational, scientific, masculine, orthodox and nationalistic. The essays in this volume examine Vivekananda's formulation of Hinduism as religion: the most definitive restatement of Hinduism in modern history. Erudite yet accessible, consistently probing and sceptical of hoary traditions, controversial and thought-provoking, Cosmic Love and Human Apathy is an invaluable addition to the existing scholarship on one of India's greatest religious and social icons. Swami Vivekananda's Restatement of Religion 'A book of substance and importance written in an engaging, straightforward style, illuminated by flashes of wit and, of course, by the author's deep knowledge of the cultural background and historical record. [It] will become the classic statement about Vivekananda in this generation' - David Shulman

An Introduction to the Psychology of Religion by Robert H. Thouless Pdf
The third edition of this successful book, which applies the science of psychology to problems of religion. Dr Thouless explores such questions as: why do people believe? Why are their beliefs often held with irrational strength? How are changes in belief systems related to mental health? What are reasonable attitudes towards alternative belief systems? This edition includes samples of the experimental and statistical studies of religious problems, including the author's own study of the strength of religious beliefs. This edition also pays more attention to the problems of non-Christian religious systems, with special consideration given to the problems of mutual toleration. Finally Dr Thouless considers whether it is reasonable for modern man to adhere to any religious belief system. This is an excellent textbook for students of the social sciences, particularly psychology and theology, and will also interest the general reader who has an intellectual curiosity about religion.
"An incisive study of the Western world’s shift from institutional religion to more personal beliefs in the second half of the 19th century . . . This is intellectual history at its most comprehensive and convincing." —Publishers Weekly, starred review The late nineteenth century was an age of grand ideas and great expectations fueled by rapid scientific and technological innovation. In Europe, the ancient authority of church and crown was overthrown for the volatile gambles of democracy and the capitalist market. If it was an age that claimed to liberate women, slaves, and serfs, it also harnessed children to its factories and subjected entire peoples to its empires. Amid this tumult, another sea change was underway: the religious revolution. In The Religious Revolution, Dominic Green charts this profound cultural and political shift, taking us on a whirlwind journey through the lives and ideas of Ralph Waldo Emerson and Walt Whitman; of Éliphas Lévi and Helena Blavatsky; of Wagner and Nietzsche; of Marx, Darwin, and Gandhi. Challenged by the industrialization, globalization, and political unrest of their times, these figures found themselves connecting with the religious impulse in surprising new ways, inspiring others to move away from the strictures of religion and toward the thrill and intimacy of spirituality. The modern era is often characterized as a time of increasing secularism, but in this trenchant new work, Green demonstrates how the foundations of modern society were laid as much by spirituality as by science or reason. The Religious Revolution is a narrative tour de force that sweeps across several continents and five of the most turbulent and formative decades in history. Threading together seemingly disparate intellectual trajectories, Green illuminates how philosophers, grifters, artists, scientists, and yogis shared in a global cultural moment, borrowing one another’s beliefs and making the world we know today.
Excerpt from The Church Universal: A Restatement of Christianity in Terms of Modern Thought The Second Series of the Reinicker Lectures, delivered at the Virginia Theological Seminary November the 7th, 8th, and 9th, 1910, consisted of three lectures - "Trinity in Unity," "The Sacramental System of the Christian Church," and "Virgin Birth and Baptism." The first lecture is not in this volume, as it is in Volume I, "Kinship of God and Man." The other two lectures in expanded form are found in this volume. The lecture on "Communion with God" is in Volume I, "Kinship of God and Man." In conclusion I wish that I could find fitting words with which to adequately express my sincere appreciation of the kindness of those who have read this book in manuscript and in proof, and especially Rev. G.Frederick Wright, D.D., LL.D., the editor of Bibliotheca Sacra, and Bishop Nelson of the Diocese of Atlanta, and the Bishop of Fond du Lac who has written the Introduction.

Religion, Populism, and Modernity by Atalia Omer,Joshua Lupo Pdf
In this timely book, an interdisciplinary group of scholars investigates the recent resurfacing of White Christian nationalism and racism in populist movements across the globe. Religion, Populism, and Modernity examines the recent rise of White Christian nationalism in Europe and the United States, focusing on how right-wing populist leaders and groups have mobilized racist and xenophobic rhetoric in their bids for political power. As the contributors to this volume show, this mobilization is deeply rooted in the broader structures of western modernity and as such requires an intersectional analysis that considers race, gender, ethnicity, nationalism, and religion together. The contributors explore a number of case studies, including White nationalism in the United States among both evangelicals and Catholics, anti- and philosemitism in Poland, the Far Right party Alternative for Germany, Islamophobia in Norway and France, and the entanglement of climate change opposition in right-wing parties throughout Europe. By extending the scope of these essays beyond Trump and Brexit, the contributors remind us that these two events are not exceptions to the rule of the normal functioning of liberal democracies. Rather, they are in fact but recent examples of long-standing trends in Europe and the United States. As the editors to the volume contend, confronting these issues requires that we not only unearth their historical precedents but also imagine futures that point to new ways of being beyond them.

Scott Appleby, Richard Amesbury, Geneviève Zubrzycki, Geneviève Zubrzycki, Yolande Jansen, Jasmijn Leeuwenkamp, Sindre Bangstad, and Ebrahim Moosa.
Christianity and Religious Diversity by Harold A. Netland Pdf
This book explores how religions have changed in a globalized world and how Christianity is unique among them. Harold Netland, an expert in philosophical aspects of religion and pluralism, offers a fresh analysis of religion in today's globalizing world. He challenges misunderstandings of the concept of religion itself and shows how particular religious traditions, such as Buddhism, undergo significant change with modernization and globalization. Netland then responds to issues concerning the plausibility of Christian commitments to Jesus Christ and the unique truth of the Christian gospel in light of religious diversity. The book concludes with basic principles for living as Christ's disciples in religiously diverse contexts.

Philosophers enjoy working with ideas that arise as they engage the world. They like to think carefully, looking at ides from more than one perspective, and without partisan urgency or desperate defensive moves. Of course, not all people who call themselves philosophers follow this ideal, but it has a long history, having been exemplified by Socrates and others in the ancient world. The essays in this volume attempt to live up to this ideal, which does not, by the way, prevent Dr. Abegg from reaching strong conclusions—which are, however, always open to challenge.. While parts of some of the essays may be difficult in places for readers not acquainted with philosophy, the shorter essays written recently for this collection are easier to read and also more lively. As a glance at the Table of Contents will reveal, the essays in this volume are on topics that should be important for all of us, such as sexual morality, abortion, Sigmund Freud, the relation between science and religion, and efforts to find a meaningful minimal religion.
