Sinopsis

"Religious Festivals" explores the diverse world of religious celebrations, examining their historical roots and modern significance. These festivals, expressions of faith and tradition, vary greatly across cultures. Intriguingly, many festivals have adapted over centuries, influenced by social, political, and economic shifts. The book highlights how religious celebrations are not only about unwavering faith but also about evolving identities and shared values.

 
The book journeys through core concepts like ritual and sacred time, then examines specific festivals from Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Each chapter dives into the historical context, theological significance, and contemporary practices of selected festivals. This approach provides a broad understanding of how these celebrations shape community identity and promote interfaith understanding.

 
The later chapters analyze the role of religious festivals in shaping community identity, promoting social cohesion, and fostering interfaith understanding while also considering issues like religious intolerance. Using historical documents, ethnographic studies, and theological texts, the book presents a balanced view of these vibrant cultural expressions.

    Richard Wurmbrand (March 24, 1909 - February 17, 2001) was a Romanian Christian minister of Jewish descent. He was a youth during a time of anti-Semitic activity in Romania, but it was later, after becoming a believer in Jesus Christ as Messiah, and daring to publicly say that Communism and Christianity were not compatible, that he experienced imprisonment and torture for his beliefs. After serving five years of a second prison sentence, he was ransomed for $10,000. After spending time in Norway and England, he and his wife Sabina, who had also been imprisoned, emigrated to America and dedicated the rest of their lives to publicizing and helping Christians who are persecuted for their beliefs. He wrote more than eighteen books, translated into more than 60 languages, the most widely known being "Tortured for Christ." He founded the international organization, Voice Of The Martyrs, which aids Christians around the world who are persecuted for their faith.

    Over 100 extraordinary people. One profound question. Countless life-affirming answers.When James Bailey was feeling lost in life, he was inspired by philosopher Will Durant's project, conducted in the 1930's, to write to one hundred luminaries in arts, politics, religion, sport, and sciences, challenging them to respond to a direct yet fundamental question—What is the meaning of life? The response was more remarkable than he could have ever imagined.A decade on, James had garnered an incredible collection of replies, collated here for the first time. By turns thought-provoking, amusing, and enlightening, these letters from scientists, writers, campaigners, athletes, political leaders, entertainers, survivors, and philosophers are a wonderful source of inspiration. Some are about happiness and heartbreak, some are about purpose, some are funny, and some will change the way you think.The Meaning of Life is a gift from people of all walks of life with incredible experience, connecting through one meaningful question that broadens our understanding of what it really means to be human and happy. It is more than just a collection of letters—it's a roadmap to finding your own path.
