Sinopsis

In "Magic and Religion," Andrew Lang presents a meticulous examination of the intricate relationships between magical practices and religious beliefs across various cultures. Employing an anthropological lens, Lang's scholarly critique delves into the psychological and social underpinnings of magic, framing it as a precursor to organized religion. His literary style is characterized by a rich, descriptive narrative that interweaves historical accounts, folklore, and comparative analysis, allowing readers to grasp the profound impact of these practices on societal development and cultural identity. Andrew Lang, a distinguished Scottish folklorist and anthropologist, was deeply influenced by the burgeoning fields of comparative mythology and ethnology during the late 19th century. His extensive travels and diverse academic pursuits equipped him with a unique perspective on the universal themes present in human culture. This background not only fueled his fascination with the interplay between magic and religion but also inspired him to articulate these connections in a way that was accessible to a broader audience, thus making his work both enlightening and engaging. "Magic and Religion" is a crucial read for scholars of anthropology, religious studies, and folklore enthusiasts alike. Lang's work invites readers to ponder the complexities of human belief systems and their evolutionary trajectories, offering a profound understanding of how magic and religion have shaped civilizations. This book is essential for anyone seeking to explore the depths of human culture and the enduring significance of these intertwined phenomena.

    The companion series to renowned theologian Herman Bavinck's Reformed Dogmatics masterwork 
     
    Herman Bavinck's four-volume Reformed Dogmatics is one of the most important theological works of the twentieth century. The English translation was edited by world-class Bavinck scholar John Bolt, who now brings forth a manuscript from Bavinck that is being published for the first time. Serving as a companion to Reformed Dogmatics, Reformed Ethics offers readers Bavinck's mature reflections on ethical issues.  
     
    In the process of translating Herman Bavinck's Reformed Ethics, John Bolt and his editorial colleagues discovered that the social ethics portion was unfinished. The first section will now be published as Reformed Ethics, vol. 3. The other five sections were outlined by Bavinck, but not completed. Following Bavinck's outline, John Bolt has reconstructed those last five sections on the basis of his extensive knowledge of Bavinck's work, culling Bavinck's other writings, in both Dutch and English, to summarize his teachings. 
     
    This companion to Reformed Ethics offers readers Bavinck's main convictions and perspectives on critical topics of social ethics: society, art, scholarship, education, the state, the church, humanity, and the kingdom of God. 
     
    Reformed Social Ethics completes the Reformed Ethics project and provides readers with a fuller picture of Bavinck's ethics. All four volumes are available in a specially priced set.

    Christians are constantly being accused of being too political or not political enough.  Often, the accusations are fair. Christians tend to get stuck in one of two political ditches: we either privatize our faith or make it partisan. We think religion and politics should be separate and never intermingle, or we align so tightly with a political party that we conflate the gospel with a human agenda.  In Political Gospel, Patrick Schreiner argues Christianity not only has political implications but is itself a politic. The gospel at its very core is political—Jesus declared Himself to be King. But He does not allow you to put Him in your political box.  In a supercharged political climate, Political Gospel explores what it means for Christians to have a biblical public witness by looking to Scripture, the early church, and today. Should we submit to governing authorities or subvert them? Are we to view them as agents of the dark forces or entities that promote order? In this book, we’ll see that Christians live in a paradox, and we’ll see how to follow Christ our King right into the political craziness of our day.
