Nature Religion

Despite many warnings, the larger public has just now become aware that moderns are suffering from a crisis of meaning, in which everything we do and are can come to seem meaningless, futile, and absurd. We may doubt not only the meaningfulness of our lives, but whether meaning, value, and goodness exist at all.

God is the greatest storyteller, and throughout the Bible he uses creative and inspiring ways to help us learn Biblical truths. He often uses the "things of this world" such as clouds, the sun, light, darkness, deserts, oceans, the wind, water, animals, other earthly creatures, parts of the human body and simple, everyday things around the house (to name just a few!) to teach us eternal truths. In the Old Testament, God teaches us his timeless wisdom from the Book of Proverbs. Then in the New Testament, Jesus tells numerous stories, called parables, to help teach deep spiritual lessons.

In this innovative and deeply felt work, Bron Taylor examines the evolution of "green religions" in North America and beyond: spiritual practices that hold nature as sacred and have, in many cases, replaced traditional religions. Tracing a wide range of groups - radical environmental activists, lifestyle-focused bioregionalists, surfers, new-agers involved in "ecopsychology", and groups that hold scientific narratives as sacred - Taylor addresses a central theoretical question.

The Misrepresented God tells the truth about who the Creator is. This book analyzes what religion says about God's heart and personality and measures it up to what God revealed about himself through his beloved son, Jesus Christ. So many Christians have been bombarded with confusing teachings and doctrines that their understanding and knowledge of God describes Satan rather than God. This book takes that twisted mess and replaces it with one soft, warm light of truth that anyone can embrace: God is love.

In Ecological Thinking, the second installment in the "Loving a Sacred Life" series, the focus is on how we think about the world and what does that thinking. Mother Earth as a living being will be explored, as well as the idea of a soul that has an infinite relationship to the planet, beyond our limited human body. Some traditions acknowledge this and we'll look at those traditions that relate to the planet differently than the typical world view. Astrology as a tool for monitoring this relationship over the ages will also be explored.

Una dintre învățăturile lui Thich Nhat Hanh este că fiecare om trăiește într-o continuă legătură cu cei din jurul său, dar și cu natura. Nu putem exista în afara lumii care ne înconjoară, ci doar prin raportare la aceasta. Viața maestrului este dovada cea mai puternică a acestei concepții, pentru că întreaga sa gândire și activitate, care a schimbat percepția asupra spiritualității tradiționale, s-a dezvoltat în relație cu numeroși factori sociali și politici, dar și cu personalități remarcabile.

In The Nature of the Religious Right, Neall W. Pogue examines how white conservative evangelical Christians became a political force known for hostility toward environmental legislation. Before the 1990s, this group used ideas of nature to help construct the religious right movement while developing theologically based, eco-friendly philosophies that can be described as Christian environmental stewardship. On the twentieth anniversary of Earth Day in 1990, members of this conservative evangelical community tried to turn their eco-friendly philosophies into action.

This book studies the New Testament texts to determine what faith is all about. As a lay author, he inspects with the conviction that if a relationship with God is not accessible to all persons, then the idea of religion makes little sense. The chapters invite listeners to examine what they believe or determine the impact of no belief on their life’s direction. While the author discloses much of his views, it is not an attempt to convert any listener to believe as he does. Whether Christianity is true or not, there is no denying its impact on civilization.

“La nostra esperienza è circoscritta dentro limiti. In realtà non comprendiamo l’invisibile, l’illimitato, conosciamo soltanto la parola ‘limite’; vi aggiungiamo il termine ‘senza’ e abbiamo la sensazione che non vi siano limiti. Ma allorché inizi a percepire ciò che è sconfinato, ne rimarrai terrorizzato; dunque, per quanto tu possa visualizzare, il confine resterà. Ti spingi sempre più in là – ma ovunque ti fermi, comparirà un confine.

Cinq ans après l'accord de Paris sur le climat, l'auteur constate un échec de l'entreprise. Il explique que les émissions mondiales de CO2 ont continué à augmenter, notamment à cause des pays tels que la Chine et l'Inde qui ne se sont engagés à rien. Selon lui, les dépenses consacrées à la transition écologique en Europe ne pourront rien faire face à l'explosion des émissions du tiers-monde. La température moyenne de la planète a augmenté d'environ 1°c depuis un siècle et demi.

The writing of history is always in terms of a framework, a philosophical and ultimately religious conceptual structure in the mind of the historian. To the orthodox Christian, the shabby incarnations of the reigning historiographies are both absurd and offensive. A Christian historiography and a Christian revisionism are thus for him moral imperatives. These essays are studies in Christian revisionism. There purpose is to call attention those aspects of American history that are currently neglected.

Truth is, being Christians don't exempt us from experiencing the full range of emotional angst non-Christian couples suffer from when their marital woes take hold. And like non-Christians, many Christians are ignorant about what causes marriage failure in the first place. It's more than about knowing what our spouse's love language is or serving God together in church.
