Описание: Religion lies near the heart of the classical sociological tradition, yet it no longer occupies the same place within the contemporary sociological enterprise. This relative absence has left sociology under-prepared for thinking about religion’s continuing importance in new issues, movements, and events in the twenty-first century. This book seeks to address this lacunae by offering a variety of theoretical perspectives on the study of religion that bridge the gap between mainstream concerns of sociologists and the sociology of religion. Following an assessment of the current state of the field, the authors develop an emerging critical perspective within the sociology of religion with particular focus on the importance of historical background. Re-assessing the themes of aesthetics, listening and different degrees of spiritual self-discipline, the authors draw on ethnographic studies of religious involvement in Norway and the UK. They highlight the importance of power in the sociology of religion with help from Pierre Bourdieu, Marx and Critical Discourse Analysis. This book points to emerging currents in the field and offers a productive and lively way forward, not just for sociological theory of religion, but for the sociology of religion more generally.

"Believe and Receive." These are very simple words that can mean so much. Its all in what context they are used and concerning what subject.
Religion is a very subjective and personal. Years ago I would have never considered writing about my spirituality. I was brought up to respect others opinions and beliefs, and it would be unusual for me to talk about religion in open forum unless it was amongst family.
I can only say that changed dramatically for me about six years ago when I was experiencing the worst days of my life while serving a three and a half year prison sentence.
I had led a very respectful life up until somewhat later in life. I had raised three children and had a very successful marriage to a wonderful lady. I had fulfilled a life's dream and ambition by becoming a State Police Officer. I also had the opportunity to work on a Municipal Police Dept. in my hometown, and was highly respected for my work and serving my community.
My issue was I never could look inside myself and say with certainty that I believed in God or some higher power. I had seen to much ill will over the years. Too many bad people doing bad things. I would struggle usually daily with asking if there was a God. Oh, I'd pray usually at night before bed; just in case there was a God. And I'd go to church on occasion if I wasn't working the weekend mainly to set example for my children at the time. But mostly for me, I couldn't grasp the concept or reality that there was a higher power looking out for us, and as my mother would always say, "God loves us."
I actually envied my mother because she always seemed to be at peace with herself, and I knew it was because she believed in God. I wanted to be like her, but the harder I tried the more cynical I would become, and the more tragedies I'd see at work, such as homicides, suicides, assaults, etc. How could God let all these bad things happen?
Then in 2000 I injured my back at work and was off for a couple weeks. I tried to manage the pain and consulted with a surgeon. He sent me to a Pain Management doctor. Within months I had become dependent on the narcotics and it changed my personality and drive. I battled through the next six years fighting the addiction, the pain, and my new outlook on life which was full of apathy and despair. The narcotics had overtaken my lust for life and for the most part I fought depression daily.
I finally decided to retire because I had enough time in, and my work product was not that of the quality I was used to putting out.
I decided since I didn't have the stress of working everyday that I would attempt to stop the pain medication. I was able to cut back, but I substituted alcohol to numb me from the withdrawals I was having from the medication.
The problem with that was I now depended on alcohol to get through the day, which eventually led to being involved in a car accident where the other driver was killed. Subsequently, I was arrested and awaiting sentencing when my wife died of a brain aneurysm. The accident was in August, my wife died in December, and I went to prison the following July.
Needless to say I had no desire to think about God, or had any belief whatsoever He existed.
The story is told in detail in the early and mid chapters. As the later chapter's evolve and the prison experience is detailed, I tell of what I felt were miraculous events which began to happen. So miraculous, a complete transformation begins in my life, and the true story of "Believe and Receive" unfolds.

Описание: The relationship between tradition and innovation in Orthodox Christianity has often been problematic, filled with tensions and contradictions starting from the Byzantine era and running through the 19th and 20th centuries. For a long period of time scholars have typically assumed Greek Orthodoxy to be a static religious tradition with little room for renewal or change. Although this public perception continues, the immutability of the Greek Orthodox tradition has been questioned by several scholars over the past few years. This book continues this line of reasoning, but brings it into the centre of contemporary discussion. Presenting case studies from different periods of history up to the present day, the authors trace different aspects in the development of innovation and renewal in Orthodox Christianity in the Greek-speaking world and among the Diaspora.

Описание: Theodore Stanton`s intention in this 1884 work had been to get from each European country the collaboration of women who had participated in some phase of the women`s movement. Among the contributors are many famous names in the struggle for women`s rights at the end of the nineteenth century.
This book reveals and interprets the rich diversity of turn-of-the-twentieth-century Chinese approaches to their own past and the modern West through the lens of the woman question. Writers and activists who engaged in debates over this question variously appropriated biographies of women—a genre with a 2,000-year history in China and a new political salience in the early twentieth century. Judge maps the ways these individuals used historical Chinese and modern Western women's biographies to promote competing visions of female virtue, talent, and heroism, and, ultimately, to advance competing evaluations of China's ritual teachings, cultural heritage, and national future. She concludes by applying the hermeneutics of historical change she develops for the turn of the twentieth century to the turn of the twenty-first century, as women's issues continue to foreground Chinese conceptions of the past, the West, and the nation.

Recent events--from strife in Tibet and the rapid growth of Christianity in China to the spectacular expansion of Chinese Buddhist organizations around the globe--vividly demonstrate that one cannot understand the modern Chinese world without attending closely to the question of religion. The Religious Question in Modern China highlights parallels and contrasts between historical events, political regimes, and cultural movements to explore how religion has challenged and responded to secular Chinese modernity, from 1898 to the present.
Vincent Goossaert and David A. Palmer piece together the puzzle of religion in China not by looking separately at different religions in different contexts, but by writing a unified story of how religion has shaped, and in turn been shaped by, modern Chinese society. From Chinese medicine and the martial arts to communal temple cults and revivalist redemptive societies, the authors demonstrate that from the nineteenth century onward, as the Chinese state shifted, the religious landscape consistently resurfaced in a bewildering variety of old and new forms. The Religious Question in Modern China integrates historical, anthropological, and sociological perspectives in a comprehensive overview of China's religious history that is certain to become an indispensible reference for specialists and students alike.
