This book re-affirms Christian commitment to Biblical truth, apostolic teachings, and the historic witness of the Church that Jesus is Lord. For tills reason, the book examines the Christian concept of the unique Christ for salvation within two modem societies: (1) Western concept of pluralism and secularism and (2) African traditional spirituality and worldview. The uniqueness of Christ was affirmed by using prophetic and apostolic witness based upon Biblical data. Western pluralism and secularism and African traditional spirituality and worldview are not to be accepted as valid religious arguments that negate the uniqueness of Christ but are indeed arguments of the non-Christian religions and cultures which are to be judged by the prophetic and apostolic witness and the Biblical data. CHRISTIAN APOLOGETICS AND MISSIONS

Sowohl junge Alevit:innen als auch junge Sunnit:innen sind in Deutschland aufgrund eines vorwiegend negativen Images des Islams herausgefordert, sich bezüglich ihrer muslimischen oder vermeintlich muslimischen Identität zu positionieren. Gleichzeitig sehen sich die beiden Gruppen in der Diaspora religionsrechtlich mit verschiedenen Bedingungen konfrontiert. Die alevitische Gemeinde Deutschlands (kurz AABF) hat durch ihren Status als Körperschaft des öffentlichen Rechts und der Durchführung des alevitischen Religionsunterrichts in der Mehrzahl der Bundesländer religionsrechtlich in Deutschland eine bessere Ausgangsposition erreichen können als die Türkisch-Islamische Union der Anstalt für Religion e.V. (kurz D¿T¿B). In dem Buch werden Gemeinsamkeiten und Unterschiede der sich diesen Gruppen zugehörig fühlenden jungen Adoleszenten in Bezug auf ihre religiöse Identitätsbildung untersucht.

This book is an introduction to the foundations of African traditional religions and worldview. The theological basis of the traditional belief- in (1) gods, (2) divinities and (3) spirits are examined. These beliefs are defined and interpreted in the light of (1) the traditional religious worldview and (2) with some clarifications from the Biblical and Christian theology. The theological implications of these traditional beliefs and worldview are essential for developing and formulating a relevant Biblical and Christian theology in Africa. The traditional theological, philosophical and moral and ethical foundations and the nature and meaning of man are analysed and examined. RELIGION AND SOCIAL PHILOSOPHY

The New Testament does not conform neatly to any modern attempts to define the Christian approach to other religions, argues Basil Scott. He confronts the questions: What does the New Testament tell us about religions? And what is its approach to those who were Gentiles, and to their beliefs and practices? He focuses his attention on the evidence presented by the New Testament itself, and especially on the attitude of its writers to the religions of their times.

This book investigates Albert Schweitzer¿s research on China, which first emerged in the 1910s and ended in 1939/40. Schweitzer¿s China research evolved alongside the development of his ¿Kulturphilosophie¿ research for over a quarter of a century. In ¿Part I: In Preparation,¿ this book will mainly focus on the historical background against which Schweitzer formulated his Reverence for Life and established his networks with the China experts. In ¿Part II: In Progress,¿ Schweitzer¿s periodic research outcomes, which were presented in several of his publications and manuscripts, will be studied. Subsequently, in ¿Part III: In Completion,¿ Richard Wilhelm¿s translation of the Yi Jing, which lay down the fundamental principles for Chinese thought, Schweitzer¿s final manuscript from 1939/40 under the title Geschichte des indischen und chinesischen Denkens, and his final depiction of Chinese thought will be given special attention.The starting point for Schweitzer¿s China research was his ideal ethical philosophy of Reverence for Life, which he formulated in the context of the decline of the Western civilization and was heavily shaped by his religious and philosophical convictions. Reverence for Life underscored humanistic concerns, and its ideals eventually became Schweitzer¿s interpretative principles in his investigation of Chinese thought. Schweitzer was never a specialist in Chinese thought and Chinese civilization. Dependent on the research of European sinologists, his China research served to justify the necessity for Reverence for Life as well as of the methods for applying this new ethical philosophy. During his entire China research, Schweitzer made great efforts to critically interpret and transform the knowledge that had been conveyed by European sinologists such as Richard Wilhelm. Although in his final research Schweitzer had already seen great resemblance between classical Confucianism in China and his Reverence for Life, he did not ultimately manage to verify his assumptions. His final manuscript on Chinese thought from 1939/40 remained unpublished when he passed away in 1965.

This book sheds light on how some people could change and brainwash the minds of many people and guide them away from the message of GOD.The book is to shed light on some of the beliefs in the Islamic religion that Hijacked by the clergy or the men of clothes for years, so it became the new belief of Islam that goes against the Islam Religion.It's our religion, and we should take it back. For years we lived in the darkness, far from the Holly book Quran. Because we left the book to collect dust on the shelves, GOD punished us with blindness to his wisdom and to fall more into darkness and to follow the satins of the earth who disguise in men of clothes and transfer our existence from light to darkness.

Wings of the Gods surveys the many roles that birds have played in the development of religions, from legends, rituals, costumes, wars, and spiritual disciplines to the current ecological crisis. Peter (Petra) Gardella and Laurence Krute, both scholars and birdwatchers, transcend a narrow focus on humanity to explore the agency of birds in world history.

This book sheds new light on the evolution and transformation of polytheistic religions. By applying economic models to the study of religious history and by viewing religious events as the result of rational choices under given environmental constraints, it offers a political economy perspective for the study of Indo-European polytheism. The book formally models the rivalry or competition among multiple gods in a polytheistic system and the monotheistic solution to this competition. Presenting case studies on the transformation and demise of various polytheistic religions, it highlights the pivotal role of the priestly class in driving religious change and suggests a joint explanation for the demise of Greco-Roman religion and the resilience of Hinduism and Zoroastrianism. It will appeal to scholars of the economics of religion and religious history and to anyone seeking new insights into the birth and death of religions, and the birth of monotheism in particular.

This volume includes chapters that explain the basic tenets of Christianity, Buddhism, Islam and Judaism. Experts in their fields have written these chapters for the sole purpose of presenting their spiritual tradition in as transparent and accessible a form as possible.

It may well be that you label the book in front of you as a natural continuation of the stream of thoughts in those fragments where your thoughts stopped - or where your life stopped. It may well be that you are caught off-guard and unprepared in front of a text offered by the book God is a Woman. You may find as well, by reading the text which follows, that your religious, spiritual or national feelings cherished by you for years are shaken and questioned too. All in all, this book will not leave you indifferent. And that is our only goal - that after you read the first five chapters of the book you simply do not remain indifferent. And whether you will keep on reading the book with enthusiasm or throw it away from you in resignation, let it be your choice only. Even if we could we do not have the intention to make an influence on that decision - anytime and anywhere. Except that we propose that together with us you try to tread on your own Path of Onedifference. (Or Singlediversity)

Religion und Geschlecht sind eng miteinander verflochten: Religiöse Traditionen, Anschauungen, Symbole und Praktiken sind geschlechtsspezifisch geprägt; Geschlechterrollen, Stereotype und Ideale werden religiös untermauert und sanktioniert. Nicht nur religiöse Traditionen selbst, sondern auch die Erforschung und Darstellung von Religionen sind überwiegend durch androzentrische Perspektiven gekennzeichnet. Gegenstand dieser Einführung ist eine Revision religionsgeschichtlicher Daten und Perspektiven auf der Basis umfangreicher Forschungsergebnisse der religionswissenschaftlichen Geschlechterforschung. Darüber hinaus machen ausgewählte systematische Analysen Zusammenhänge und Unterschiede zwischen verschiedenen religiösen Traditionen hinsichtlich der Konstruktion, Idealisierung, Normierung und der symbolischen Verwendung von Geschlecht sichtbar. Anhand von exemplarischen Feldern sozialer Interaktion werden zudem die vielfältigen Wechselwirkungen und die Intersektionalität von Religion, Geschlecht und Gesellschaft verdeutlicht. Der Band bietet damit Einblick in ein differenzierteres Bild von Religionsgeschichte und zeigt Ziele und Vorgehensweise einer geschlechtersensiblen Religionsforschung auf.

Jesus Christ is a unique being because of his miraculous birth, his ascension, and the Second Coming. Therefore, significant disputes have emerged regarding his reality and mission. The Bible itself contains two opposing images of Jesus, their parts have been scattered into the chapters of the books of the New Testament. Certainly, these two opposing images of Jesus cannot, of course, both be concurrently authentic at the same time. But one must be for Truly Jesus, and the other one is for Falsely Jesus. The two contradictory images of Jesus in the Bible, as well as the disputes regarding his reality and his interrelation to salvation as a savior, will remain until his Second Coming. Then Truly Jesus is manifested to the man of that time, and the Falsely will be destroyed. But what about a person today? Is he aware of the two images of Jesus, the true image and the false one that are scattered in the Bible? Does he not feel the necessity of exploring Jesus who in his heart, whether he is the true one or the false? Certainly, whoever has based his faith in Jesus on clear and conclusive evidence is rightly guided, or else he is in plain error.This book is a new analytical study, where it assembles all the scattered parts of each of the two contradictory images of Jesus in the Bible, highlights them as two complete images, examines them, explores their differences and how did Falsely Jesus appear and why? Also, this book presents to those who believe in the Hereafter, the proofs of the only one true formula of salvation, and to those who do not believe, the proofs of the necessity of an afterlife. The hope with this book is to offer the clarity of intention and the ability to distinguish between the two readings of Jesus as presented in this book.

Evangelical-In, of, or according to the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the literal teachings of the Holy Bible. Gullible-Easily deceived. Evangullible-Easily deceived by teachings that contradict the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the literal teachings of the Holy Bible. Over the last four decades, the unholy spirit and deceptive false teachings of a New Age/New Gospel have worked their way into an undiscerning and all-too-gullible church. Pastors and church leaders who years ago warned about New Age deception have hardly talked about it since. As a result, this New Gospel of the New Age is presently viewed by most believers as a long-ago past occurrence even as its overlapping terms, false teachings, and deceptive practices continue to creep into the church. Thus, while many church leaders and pastors talk about the cultural challenges of the day and the need for revival, they say almost nothing about our Adversary's spiritual schemes and devices. And while these same leaders write dramatic books and letters exhorting the church to be "courageous," to "speak out," and to "not be silenced," they have been effectively silenced themselves when it comes to spiritual deception in the church. Instead of exposing spiritual evil, contending for the faith, and fighting the good fight, they often advocate, endorse, or turn a blind eye to the very things they should be confronting.

Die beiden Religionswissenschaftler Edvard Lehmann (1862 - 1930) und Hans Haas (1868 - 1934) legen mit ihrem "Textbuch zur Religionsgeschichte" eine profunde Auswahl repräsentativer Texte zum Thema vor: "Um das für die einzelnen Religionen wirklich Charakteristische hervorzuheben, konnte bei der Auswahl nicht durchweg der gleiche Gesichts­punkt vorherrschend sein; tritt in der einen naturgemäß das Kultische in den Vordergrund, so in der anderen nicht minder füglich die Denkweise und wieder in der anderen ebenso aus innerem Grunde und darum mit gutem Fuge die praktische Moral. Worauf aber überall einheitlich das Bestreben ging, das war: durch die Reihe der Religionen das religiöse Leben, nicht nur die religiösen Vorstellungen (Mythen und Lehren) zu dokumentieren." (Vorwort) Vorgestellt werden Texte aus China, Japan, Indien, Persien, Griechenland, römische Texte, Texte der germanischen Religion, ägyptische, babylonisch-assyrische und hethitische Texte sowie Texte aus dem Islam. Nachdruck der zweiten, verbesserten Auflage aus dem Jahr 1922.
