Bøger af Roger S. Gottlieb

This book gathers a variety of illuminating essays by an internationally known scholar of religion and ecology. New writings on technology, facing death, and an intellectual autobiography continue Gottlieb's unique ability to connect collective struggles for a just and caring society with personal strivings for wisdom and compassion.

How communist movements from 1880 to 1935 betrayed Marx's vision, lucid accounts of the theories of Western Marxism and socialist-feminism, and a concluding focus on current debates and concerns.

With compelling interpretations of Martin Luther King and the civil rights struggle, feminism, disability rights, the global environmental movement, and the fight for breast cancer, Joining Hands will alter the way spiritual seekers, political activists, and society think about the political role of religion and the spiritual component of politics.

Goes beyond the church-versus-state debate to argue that religious belief and spiritual practice are integral to the politics of social change; and that political insights and activism are essential to authentic religious life.

Our ecological dilemmas provoke powerful emotions and deeply contested views. How can we live together, or even talk together, when we cannot listen to people who think differently? In a lively and at times very funny book, Roger Gottlieb explores these questions in a collection of distinct but related philosophical short stories.

Updating a survey of religion's complex relationship to the environment, "This Sacred Earth", second edition reflects a decade's tremendous growth and transformation of scholarly, theological and activist religious environmentalism.

A Spirituality of Resistance addresses the challenges of creating a spiritual life in the midst of unprecedented environmental crisis. In the end, Gottlieb finds that only through striving to protect the earth and all its inhabitants can one find authentic personal and spiritual peace.
