Description: In this work, originally published in 1968, the distinguished theologian James M. Gustafson asks the fundamental question, "What is the significance of Jesus Christ for the moral life?" His answer is in the form of an ethical map, showing the ways in which theological affirmations about Christ relate to moral life in the writings of a number of important Christian thinkers.

Description: Sunday School Lessons for Agnostics and Others Who Wonder is a straightforward and unconventional approach to explaining God, His love, and the teachings of the Bible as they relate to certain Christian doctrines that bother unbelievers. Author Richard B. Backus puts these issues in a useful context and helpful perspective for those who are troubled about the idea of “blind obedience,” which is encouraged by many religions. He aims to promote the development of individual faith and delves into a number of questions, such as: Is faith important? Is it real? Does it do any good to pray? Who is Jesus, really? Is Holy Communion divine cannibalism? Heaven or Hell: Are there such places? What does God require of me? You will encounter many doubts in your journey of faith, but how you resolve these doubts will define your relationship with God. If you don’t know God, your behavior will demonstrate the absence of God in your life. Your faith is there to guide you, but it changes daily—and it must be relevant daily. Only God can save you—and He will, because God loves you unconditionally—and there’s nothing you can do about it!

Description: For millennia priests and holy men have told countless conflicting tales about humanity's genesis and fate, while also saying anyone devoid of faith is evil, immoral, and responsible for societal ills. For those tired of these contradictions, fed up with hearing about divine mysteries when there aren't any, and offended by being told they're going to hell, atheism is a popular and logical answer. This book contains all you need to know about what to pack for your journey on the enlightening road to atheism, including explanations of the five types of atheism and the difference between an atheist and an agnostic—a term invented by T. H. Huxley, famous for his defense of Darwin—as well as how a deist differs from a theist. Learn why Christians were originally called atheists; read about Lucretius and his fellow materialists; and revel alongside atheists who happily have nothing to defend.

Description: Ludwig Heyde's award winning examination of the weight of finitude and its relation to God is translated here for the first time in English. Though philosophers may question if there still is room for God in philosophy after Nietzsche's pronouncement that "God is dead," Heyde suggests that a full acceptance of the finitude of existence can lead to the affirmation of God. He criticizes conceptions that have unconsciously dominated our thinking since the Enlightenment. In relation to the philosophical tradition--Thomas Aquinas, Anselm, Descartes, Kant, and primarily Hegel, among others--certain "experiences" are developed which thought can undergo when it goes to its limits and asks after the ground of all that is. At the same time, Heyde investigates how well the affirmation of God stands up against various intellectual and existential challenges such as Kant's critique, the experience of evil and suffering, and the thought of Heidegger and Nietzsche.

Description: September 11, 2001 shocked the entire world as millions watched airplanes crash into the World Trade Center killing thousands of innocent women, men, children, Jews, Christians, Muslims, Buddhists, and Atheists -- all in the name of god. This barbaric act, carried out in the name of god, caused many people to question the relevance of god in the affairs of man. This book dares the reader to think and reason logically on even the existence of god, let alone its involvement in human affairs. It stresses the harm caused by religions and makes a plea to people to speak up when religion is used to express intolerance, hatred, and bigotry.

Description: Suellen Hoy's "Good Hearts" describes and analyzes the activities and contributions of Catholic nuns in Chicago. Beginning with the arrival of women-religious in 1846 and ending with the sisters' social activism in the 1960s, "Good Hearts" traces the development and evolution of the sisters' work and ministry that included education, health care, and social services. Contrary to conventional portrayals of religious as reclusive and conservative, the nuns in "Good Hearts" are revealed as dynamic, powerful agents of change.Catholic sisters lived on the edge, serving sick and poor immigrants as well as those racially and religiously unlike themselves, such as the uneducated black migrants from the South. At all times, the sisters emphasized the importance of education to social mobility and equality. Hoy makes extensive use of primary documents, secondary sources, and personal interviews, as well as a series of revealing photographs to document their work and show that while almost always hidden, never-ending, and regularly ignored by male church leaders, the sisters' contributions were unique and generous, often saving those most at risk in a growing city.

Description: Today’s agnostics are scorned by believers for their failure to find faith, as well as by atheists for being hopelessly wishy-washy and weak-minded. But John Humphrys is proud to count himself among the agnostic ranks. In this candid memoir he charts the history of his spiritual life, from his Christian childhood through the years in which he prayed every day of his life until his growing doubts finally began to overwhelm his faith. In 2006, he challenged the leaders of three of the world’s biggest religions to prove to him that God does exist, all to no avail. Enthusiastic and honest, this intriguing study shows that while doubt is not the easiest option, if is often the only possible one for the millions who can find no easy answers to the most profound questions. |

Description: American Catholics, American Culture: Tradition and Resistance, is introduced by Peter Steinfels and Robert Royal. Part One, Against the Grain, explores the philosophical and practical differences between Catholicism and American culture on issues in sexuality, marriage, abortion, stem cell research, women's rights, and physician-assisted suicide. The essays attempt to mediate the divide between Catholicism's communal and personalist view of the human person and the American preference for autonomy and pluralism. Part Two, Popular Culture & Literature, confronts the role and interaction of the Church in popular culture and explores the identity of the Catholic writer on the literary page and in the media. Part Three, Anti-Catholicism: The Last Acceptable Prejudice? endeavors to define what anti-Catholicism is, where it is found in North American culture, what it means for maintaining group identity, and how it can be interpreted as an American or religious phenomenon.

Description: The twenty-first century has witnessed a dangerous shift in focus about belief (or non-belief) in God. God is not to be debated but defended at all costs. In short, God has become a problem. How then might we return to a reasoned debate about God's existence? In this book Nigel Leaves evaluates four ways of addressing the "God Problem" - panentheism, non-realism, grassroots spirituality, and religious naturalism. These are the current responses to the increasing difficulty of God-talk in the context of the latest critical and scientific thinking. Leaves provides an excellent point of departure and a resource for a discussion on how we may speak of God today.
