Описание:
This book analyses the bearing of globalmonotheistic faiths towards the philosophy and practice of recordkeeping and accounting throughout history. The author offers a comprehensivediscussion of the literal and figurative processes of taking account and ascribingaccountability that link religions such as Christianity, Judaism and Islam.Chapters address theology and accounting in tandem with social behaviours todemonstrate how auditing and calculating customs permeate practising religions.This book first highlightshow the four monotheisms have viewed and incorporated accounting historically,and then looks forward to the accounting debates, technologies and traditions intoday’s world that derive from these religious customs. Drawing heavily on the writings of Max Weber and Werner Sombart, theauthor demonstrates that accounting and capitalism have religious roots farbeyond the Protestant ethic.
Описание: Among the legends, myths and folklore of every culture on Earth a common narrative pervades them all; the history of people who descended from the sky and created mankind. Augmenting the work of authors who have detailed the fascinating history of these ancient astronauts, Good and Evil demonstrates how they were the foundation of the Abrahamic religions and provides you with the enlightenment you need to determine for yourself who is really working for the benefit of mankind (Good) and who is really working against mankind (Evil). Beyond demystifying subjects that are veiled in symbolism, like alchemy, hermeticism and witchcraft, Good and Evil illuminates occult sciences that not only heighten physical and mental abilities, but extend the human life-span; the secret behind the so-called Fountain of Youth, Holy Grail, Philosopher's Stone, Elixir of Life
These are stories about what clergy of five religions were saying about suffering & evil, sin & Karma, forgiveness, faith, hope, joy, love, sex, God's character, experiencing God, afterlife, scriptures, authority, and the meaning of life. And the stories about the laypeople who were reluctant to voice their continuing doubts to the clergy. Yet, the whispered to the author their deeper concerns.
The book has fourteen chapters that the laypeople are concerned about. In each chapter the clergy of the five religions give their view. Then the laypeople give their doubts.
This is an excellent writing for individual study, group discussions, and comparative religion courses. It is a must read for professionals, educators, and people who want a deeper view of their an other religions. Highly recommended by readers.

Описание: Understanding the Spiritual Meaning of Jerusalem in Three Abrahamic Religions analyzes the historical, social and theological factors which have resulted in Jerusalem being considered a holy place in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. It also surveys the transmission of the religious traditions related to Jerusalem. This volume centralizes both the biblical background of Jerusalem’s pivotal role as holy place and its later development in religious writings; the biblical imagery has been adapted, rewritten and modified in Second Temple Jewish writings, the New Testament, patristic and Jewish literature, and Islamic traditions. Thus, all three monotheistic religions have influenced the multifaceted, interpretive traditions which help to understand the current religious and political position of Jerusalem in the three main Abrahamic faiths.

Описание:
Current tendencies in religious studies and theology show a growing interest for the interchange between religions and the cultures of rationalization surrounding them. The studies published in this volume, based on the international conferences of both the Berlin-Brandenburgische Akademie der Wissenschaften and the Israel Academy of Sciences and Humanities, aim to contribute to this field of interest by dealing with concepts and influences of rationalization in Judaism, Christianity, Islam and religion in general. In addition to taking a closer look at the immediate links in the history of tradition between those rationalizing movements and evolutions in religion, emphasis is put on intellectual-historical convergences: Therefore, the articles are led by central comparative questions, such as what factors foster/hinder rationalization?; where are criteria for rationalization drawn from?; in which institutions is rationalization taking place?; who propagates, supports and utilizes rationalization?
Описание: The authority of canonical texts, especially of the Bible, is often described in static definitions. However, the authority of these texts was acquired as well as exercised in a dynamic process of transmission and reception. This book analyzes selected aspects of this historical process. Attention is paid to biblical master-texts and to other texts related to the “biblical worlds” in various historical periods and contexts. The studies examine particular texts, textual variants, translations, paraphrases and other elements in the process of textual transmission. The range covered spans from the Iron Age, through the Old Testament texts, their manuscripts and other texts from Qumran, the Septuagint, down to the New Testament, Apocrypha, Coptic texts, Patristics, and even modern translations of the Bible. The book is particularly intended for those interested in the history of reception and transmission of biblical texts and in the textual criticism.
