While the churches are emptying, other virtual religious places -
as the religious websites - seem to be filling up. The researcher
focusing on religion and internet or digital religion as an object
of study must seek answers to a number of questions. Is
computer-mediated religious communication a particular
communication process whose object is what we conventionally call
religion? Or is it a modern, independent form of religious
expressiveness that finds its new-born status in the web and its
particular language? To examine the questions above, and others,
the book collects more empirical data, claiming that the Internet
will have a specific or novel impact on how religious traditions
are interpreted. The blurring of previous boundaries
(offline/online, virtual/local, illegitimate/legitimate religion)
is another theme common to all the contributions in this volume.

The Book of the Law, the holy text that forms the basis of Thelema,
was transmitted to Crowley by the entity known as Aiwass in Cairo,
on three successive days during April 1904. Acting as a medium,
Crowley recorded the communications on hotel notepads and later
organized his automatic writing into a short, coherent document.
Aiwass/Crowley presents The Book of the Law as an expression of
three god-forms in three chapters: Nuit, Hadit, and Ra-Hoor-Khuit.
Fifty-Two Weeks with God is composed of fifty-two meditations on
God, God's creation, and men and women who gave their lives for
others. The book begins with New Year, the time we think of what we
have done before and repent and resolve to correct ourselves. We
sit in awe at God's magnificent creation and what He has done for
us. We meditate on the lives of others who felt the call to follow
Christ and care for those in need. We meditate on the innocent
children whose characters and beliefs we mold as we care for them
by word and deed. We meditate on the spirit of God, the spirit of
love and truth. We meditate on God's promise for us to be with him
in the warmth of his love for eternity if we follow His example and
teaching.
"Whatever is true, whatever is good, whatever is honorable,
whatever is of good report. Whatever is lovely, whatever is pure;
think on these things (Philippians 4:8)."
One of the foundational Christian beliefs is that God has
spoken. Most of the time in the Bible, God makes statements. At
other times, rather than making statements, God asks questions. And
God's questions provoke serious thought. Many people have questions
they would love to ask God. Many more have questions about God. But
the most important questions are the ones God is asking us. The God
Questions explores these and other questions God asked people in
the Bible:
- Where are you? - Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? -
Why are you so angry? - Where have you come, from and where are you
going? - Why are you so afraid? - Why do you call me "Lord, Lord,"
and do not do what I say? - Who do you say that I am? - When the
Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?
The questions God asked people of ancient times are the same
questions God is asking us today. Discover the questions God is
asking you, and in doing so, find out what God has in mind for your
life.
