Practical Mysticism is an outstanding guide to experiencing and
understanding mystical experiences by renowned scholar Evelyn
Underhill. Underhill's books are appreciated and praised to this
day by scholars and enthusiasts of spiritualism, and even
psychologists seeking explanation of the spiritual component of
human behaviour. In Practical Mysticism, the author introduces and
unveils key tenets of mysticism for the ordinary reader. Highly
inclusive, Underhill proposes that the spiritual discoveries and
self-discovery of mysticism are available to every person, and that
all it takes is the will and persistence to embark on the voyage.
Although praised for her work on Christian mysticism, Underhill is
careful to note that her general take on spiritual experiences is
not tied to one, or indeed any, formal religion. Rather she is of
the opinion that the journey to spiritual awakening is a vital one
for those wishing to better understand and come to terms with the
complex universe we live in.
Al-Ghazali (d. 505/1111) is one of the most influential thinkers of
Islam. There is hardly a genre of Islamic literature where he is
not regarded as a major authority. Islamic Law, Sufism, ethics,
philosophy, and theology are all deeply shaped by him. Yet in the
past thirty years, the field of Ghazali-studies has been shaken by
the realization that Avicenna (Ibn Sina, d. 428/1037) and other
philosophers had a strong influence on him. Now, after the 900th
anniversary at his death, the field emerges stronger than ever.
This second volume of Islam and Rationality: The Impact of
al-Ghazali brings together twelve leading experts on al-Ghazali who
write about his thought and the impact it had on later Muslim
thinkers. Contributors are: Anna Ayse Akasoy, Ahmed El Shamsy,
Kenneth Garden, Frank Griffel, Jules Janssens, Damien Janos, Taneli
Kukkonen, Stephen Ogden, M. Sait OEzervarli, Martin Riexinger,
Ulrich Rudolph, and Ayman Shihadeh.
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.
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.
