The Religious Sentiment - Its Source and Aim: A Contribution to the Science and Philosophy of Religion

Daniel G. Brinton

Beschreibung

In "The Religious Sentiment," Daniel G. Brinton delves into the psychological and sociological underpinnings of religious emotions and beliefs. Employing a blend of philosophy, anthropology, and psychology, Brinton articulates a framework for understanding the pervasive human inclination toward the divine. The book is notable for its analytical rigor and its engagement with contemporary debates in both psychology and religious studies, situating itself prominently within the cultural context of the late 19th century, when the reverberations of Darwinian thought were reshaping perspectives on faith and spirituality. Daniel G. Brinton was an eminent scholar, known for his interdisciplinary approach to Native American studies and his deep interest in the intersection of culture and belief. Brinton's extensive background in anthropology and philosophy informs his writing, as he sought to bridge scientific inquiry with spiritual understanding. His inquiry into the development of religious sentiment was profoundly influenced by his contemporary intellectual landscape, marked by evolving ideas about human nature and the meaning of existence. This book is essential reading for anyone interested in the psychological dimensions of religion, as it encourages a nuanced exploration of the human experience of the sacred. Brinton's insightful analyses not only challenge preconceived notions of faith but also invite readers to rethink the role of religion in modern society, making it a significant contribution to both academic discourse and personal reflection.

The Old Testament as Literature...

Tremper Longman

Tremper Longman has studied and taught the Old Testament and its interpretation for four decades. Now, in a planned three-book project, he presents his mature thoughts on three ways of approaching the Old Testament text: as literature, as history, and as a source of theology. 
 
This first volume explores the importance of reading the Old Testament as literature. Each culture tells its stories and writes its poems in different ways. To read and understand the Old Testament texts the way the ancient authors intended, we need to be aware of the conventions of Hebrew storytelling and poetry that they used. In part 1, dealing with literary theory, Longman investigates how texts create meaning, the history of the study of the Old Testament as literature, and how genre dictates reading strategy. He explores the Hebrew conventions for both narrative and poetry in conversation with contemporary literary approaches. Parts 2 and 3 delve into practice, using the tools gained in part 1 to analyze and interpret a variety of Old Testament narratives and poetry. 
 
Longman's accessible writing and balanced judgments make this book suitable for the classroom and the church.

The Apocalypse Of Abraham

Christopher Glyn

Originally composed in Hebrew, this text survives today only in Old Slavonic recensions preserved within the medieval Tolkovaja Paleja. Rediscovered by 19th-century scholars who were cataloguing Slavonic manuscripts, the Apocalypse of Abraham is known from six principal manuscripts, each preserving a vivid expansion of the Genesis narratives and a rich tapestry of angelology, mysticism, and Messianic expectation.  
In this reading, you’ll first witness young Abraham’s dramatic revolt against his father Terah’s idol-making trade and his divine call from heaven. Next comes his sacred forty-day sacrifice on Mount Horeb under the tutelage of the angel Yahoel, the defeat of the rebel archangel Azazel, and the bestowal of heavenly garments. Finally, embark on Abraham’s awe-inspiring ascent through the seven heavens—beholding the divine throne-vision, the Garden of Eden, the fall of Adam and Eve, the judgment of Cain and Abel, prophecies of Israel’s exile and the Temple’s destruction, the rise of a lawless end-time “man,” ten devastating plagues, and the ultimate arrival of the Messiah to deliver God’s faithful.
