  • - Theological Riffs on Life and Living

  • - How Faith Can Survive Its Encounter with Science
    av John van Hagen
    407

    In Rescuing Religion John Van Hagen argues that psychological theories and models of psychotherapy can help one hold on to a religious worldview while simultaneously living in a world increasingly described in scientific terms. Rescuing Religion grapples with that tension as it focuses on science s recent challenges to the historicity of the major Bible stories: Moses never existed, Jesus did not start a church. Yet facing such challenges presents us with an opportunity for religious growth. We can now go behind those Bible stories and glimpse the storytellers who in their own times faced enormous crises of faith. We can learn from their struggles and be inspired to face our own global ones. Like those ancient authors, we can search for God s power moving through history, even as we realize that we, like them, can only describe it in finite terms. Throughout the book, readers are buoyed up by examples of remarkable individuals who have sensed and described this movement.

    av Susan M. Elli Elliott

    421 - 461

  • av Gerd Ludemann
    331

    Focuses on the inauthentic words of Jesus—not only those thought to be clear inventions, but also sayings that exhibit noteworthy alterations to their original form and intent. For his selection, Lüdemann uses sayings that are attributed to Jesus after his crucifixion, presuppose a pagan rather than a Jewish audience, involve situations in a post-Easter community, and reflect the editorial influence of the author.
