The Unauthorised Bible - Modern Text (Paperback): J. F. Evans The Unauthorised Bible - Modern Text (Paperback)
J. F. Evans
R499 Discovery Miles 4 990 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This, the second volume of the series, is a selected set of revised versions of the scriptures of the 'less supported' established religions of the world: Jainism, Sikhism, Sufism, Shintoism, Baha'ism, Neo-Paganism; together with works of later mystics and poets, sundry esotera, the Gnostic gospels from Christianity, a couple of apocryphal pieces from Judaism, a conflation of parts of the Kabbalah with Neo-Christian reincarnationist traditions, a heterodox sutra from Hinduism, and a replacement for Psalms. All the texts been transliterated to conform, insofar as that is possible, with modern scientific understanding and a liberal, in its widest sense, political agenda, and hopefully to make them easier to read.

Unauthorised Bible - A Universal Scripture : The Commentaries (Paperback): J. F. Evans Unauthorised Bible - A Universal Scripture : The Commentaries (Paperback)
J. F. Evans
R457 Discovery Miles 4 570 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This, the third volume of the series, is a selected set of revised versions of the theological musings of selected philosophers, together with four reconstructed parables from modern prophet poets. Its purpose is to provide a framework for the theological texts presented in the earlier volumes. All the texts have been transliterated to conform, insofar as that is possible, with modern scientific understanding and liberal ethics, and hopefully to make them easier to read. The volume commences with Tom Paine's assault on the incoherent dogmatism of much of traditional scripture, with further philosophical excerpts succeeding. The parables follow, with condensations from Locke and Kant, as the most challenging pieces, placed towards the end. A short extract from Jung effectively acts as an appropriate conclusion.

The Unauthorised Bible (Paperback): J. F. Evans The Unauthorised Bible (Paperback)
J. F. Evans
R310 Discovery Miles 3 100 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This volume is the concluding chapter of a larger work, The Unauthorised Bible. It tackles the questions that have always faced all humans: evil, suffering, death and the afterlife, the purpose of existence, justice and mercy, fate and free-will and the nature of God. It also considers the primary issues which determine the theoretical basis of all religious systems: how to be a good person, how to be a good citizen and how do we see our relationship with the divine? Finally it attempts to square the circle between modern understandings of science, in particular molecular and evolutionary biology, behavioural science, astrophysics and quantum mechanics and the religious domain.
