Are you scared of dying? Lots of people are. Maybe it’s because you’re not sure what happens after you die. There are only two options: Nothing. When you’re dead you’re dead. Some people act like that’s what they believe. And some really believe it’s true. Something. Others believe in an afterlife. Even people without any formal religion believe this. All the religions of the world have a view on eternity and what you must DO to get it.

Why do we divide the world, the human being and the divine? Do good and evil really exist or are they simply conditioned points of view? Is there a permanent ‘me’.

Are the various scriptures of India and the Middle East similar to or in contradiction to your teaching? Is there any connection between the supernatural and religion?

Une contribution au débat sur la laïcité en France dans laquelle l'auteur montre que ce concept, loin d'évacuer la question du sacré et de la reléguer dans le seul espace privé, peut être mieux compris qu'il ne l'a été majoritairement depuis un siècle, à travers la reconnaissance de son sens renvoyant à une spiritualité ouverte ainsi qu'au geste de la destruction des idoles.

For Lewis Carroll, a deacon in the Church of England, faith in Christ and belief in a loving God stood at the core of his being, but little has been written about what the church or faith meant to the celebrated author of the Alice books.

In the essays of this book, the author continues his writings generally contemplating philosophy from the perspective of working class struggle in Technological Society and arguing for nihilism as the only sound morality for such struggle.

Postmodernism has infiltrated the academy, including the Evangelical academy. Christians must not be intimidated or bullied when they are told they need to be less tied to dry things like "propositions" and "abstractions". But truth is truth. As Chesterton said, “Merely having an open mind is nothing. The object of opening the mind, as of opening the mouth, is to shut it again on something solid.”

Before there were endless scrolls of information, there was profound, direct inquiry. This remarkable text captures one such moment, a vibrant exchange where a village, confused by a parade of competing spiritual teachers, voiced their deepest uncertainties. The response they received was not a new creed, but a stunning invitation to trust their own capacity for wisdom. It lays out a clear, compassionate framework for evaluating any claim, any teaching, any authority, not by its pedigree or popularity, but by its tangible impact on your well-being and the well-being of others. Prepare to ...

St. Teresa of Jesus (1515-1582) is not known to be a philosopher and yet we can derive many important philosophical insights from her work. Proof of this is the existence of studies and dissertations from the philosophical perspective dedicated to her thought. More than this, St. Teresa de Jesus, Doctor of the Church and acknowledged Mistress of Spirituality, proposes a way of understanding philosophy, or love of wisdom, by being a spirituality or a way of living for one to become Spirit. The present work focuses on the notion of Truth, hence the title 'Spirituality of Truth," parting ...

The spiritual power of the Feminine shines forth in this psychological study of four Old Testament heroines from Jesus’ family tree. Tamar, Rahab, Ruth, and Bathsheba are the only women mentioned by name in the Gospels’ genealogies and, for Ann Belford Ulanov, this indicates that they impart something essential to the lineage of Christ. By exploring their brave and unconventional lives, she demonstrates how salvation enters the world in the feminine mode of being human, through these women’s embodiment of such powerful and deeply feminine qualities as ingenuity, audacity, ...
