Editorial Review Product Description Historian Edward Grant illuminates how today's scientific culture originated with the religious thinkers of the Middle Ages. In the early centuries of Christianity, Christians studied science and natural philosophy only to the extent that these subjects proved useful for a better understanding of the Christian faith, not to acquire knowledge for its own sake. However, with the influx of Greco-Arabic science and natural philosophy into Western Europe during the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, the Christian attitude toward science changed dramatically. Despite some tensions in the thirteenth century, the Church and its theologians became favorably disposed toward science and natural philosophy and used them extensively in their theological deliberations.

Welcome to a Land of Make-Believe
The absolute best book written by T. Marrs, before he went off the deep end...
Classic Marrs I like Marrs' books.They have the excitement of conspiracy theory.But grounded in Bible study.If you don't believe in the Bible (or are afraid your friends will think you're a nut if you do) you probably won't like his books.But if you're into Bible prophecy, and use the Christian Bible to guide your life, then I think you'll appreciate Marrs' perspective. I'll admit, I try not to put any Christian writer on a pedestal.God is still the definitive Author.But there's a place for writers who use the Bible to comment on current events.I appreciate the work they do.Especially when it prompts me to go back and read Bible passages they've pointed out. So, Mr. Marrs: I thank you for taking so much flak, yet still keeping the faith.And I eagerly await your next book. ... Read more |

Editorial Review Product Description Customer Reviews (7)
Necessary coinage Critics have complained that "eupraxophy" is hard to pronounce, and in his later writings Kurtz has been spelling it with an extra "s," as in "eupraxsophy."But I don't see why its pronounciation with the original spelling is any harder than pronouncing "saxophone."This book is a significant contribution to our understanding and classification of worldviews, though it could benefit from a discussion of more recent eupraxophies like Objectivism and Transhumanism.

Editorial Review Product Description Religions of Tibet in Practice is a landmark work, the first major anthology on the topic ever produced. It presents a stunning array of works (hagiographies, pilgrimage guides, prayers, accounts of visits to hell, epics, consecration manuals, sermons, and exorcism texts) that together offer an unparalleled view of the realities of those who have inhabited the Tibetan cultural domain over the centuries. The volume provides a wealth of voices that together lead to a new and more nuanced understanding of the religions of Tibet. The thirty-six chapters are testimony to the vast scope of religious practice in the Tibetan world, past and present, offering works heretofore unknown. The chapters are organized thematically under five headings: Accounts of Time and Place, Remarkable Lives, Rites and Techniques, Prayers and Sermons, and Dealing with Death and Other Demons. They juxtapose materials from different sects, historical periods, and geographical regions in an attempt to broaden the range of what we understand the religious practices of Tibet to encompass. Each chapter contains a translation and a substantial yet accessible introduction by a leading scholar of Tibetan religions. Religions of Tibet in Practice represents the largest sourcebook on Tibetan religions ever assembled, a work of great value to scholars, students, and general readers. Customer Reviews (3)
Excellent contributors of Tibetan Buddhism
A splendid, varied collection of translations from Tibetan. I found thisvolume to be like a walk through a scented market.There are booths andstalls to appeal to every taste, yet theyare not laid out in randomfashion.Lopez has carefully arranged the selections around variousthemes.There are items toplease the connoisseur as well as the tourist. The stroll, itself, is delightful whether one intends to buy or not.There are tastysamples here and there: The introduction makes a goodargument against the prevalent contemporary notion that the Bontraditionis but a mere reaction to Buddhism derived from ancient"primitive" beliefs. Since the selections range over a thousand years,I was reminded of the changing fortunes of the various sects, asthis or that monastery found favour in the eyes of theMongolian orChinese, Indian or local Tibetan kings and princes. One can enjoy Tibetanculture and daily life seen as the life-journey as we all experience it,the bodhisattva's path, the mysticalexperience, the lama-studentrelationship or the worship of and devotion to specific deities.In fact,it ends splendidly with anew translation of the 21 Praises to Tara.
