Book Synopsis An Intelligent Person's Guide to Religion by : John Haldane
Download or read book An Intelligent Person's Guide to Religion written by John Haldane. This book was released on 2005-10-25. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We live, allegedly, in a postmodern age in which we have cast aside the narrative fantasies of the pre-modern era. If postmodernism represents the final abandonment of all grand theories, where does religion stand? If religion is a particularly unbelievable form of explanation, why does it power still affect social and political change? Here, like the skeptics of our age, the author asks, What has theology ever had to say that was of the slightest use to anyone? He argues that religion without God is like a car without an engine, and draws on many aspects of human culture to offer a defense of religion that is not only credible but necessary in an age when postmodernism itself has been exposed as a cruel illusion.

Book Synopsis Intelligent Person's Guide to Christian Ethics by : Alban McCoy
Download or read book Intelligent Person's Guide to Christian Ethics written by Alban McCoy. This book was released on 2010-06-15. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From a view that could be described as enlightened orthodoxy, McCoy tackles a wide range of issues, such as: Is there a Christian perspective on the war in Iraq that is not simply a human perspective? Are Christian ethics pumped up or watered down humanist ethics? What is a distinctly Christian view in modern secularized society? Do the Bible and the Natural Law really still have any relevance to the burning moral issues of the day? As scientific progress raises moral issues of dazzling complexity, do traditional attitudes to abortion, euthanasia, in vitro fertilization and human embryology still make any sense? How long should we prolong life? Should we ever assist death? Fr. Alban McCoy is a sure and enlightened guide to these questions.
