Zeigt Titel in Religiöse Studien

This first fully documented biography of Simon Wiesenthal, the legendary Nazi hunter, is also a brilliant character study of a man whose life was part invention but wholly dedicated to ensuring both that the Nazis be held responsible for their crimes and that the destruction of European Jewry...

Although all the titles of the Nag Hammadi library are not known, many people have heard about its most famous components: The Gospel of Thomas - at one time it was discussed whether it should be included in the New Testament - and The Gospel of Philip, which tried to revive the debate around the identity of Mary Magdalene: "Why do you love her more than all of us?" asks a disconcerted Peter to Jesus. Finally, the Nag Hammadi texts have led many scholars to reconsider the rigid canons imposed by the early Church, and the readers to find a more intimate religion that turned upside down many postulates of Christian orthodoxy.

For anyone hungry to find greater meaning in life, Demolishing Doubt is more than an apologetics book--it's an invitation to wrestle with your doubts, find the answers your soul seeks, and discover or rediscover the God who loves you. What if the questions that feel like the end of your faith...

In seinem Essay aus dem Jahr 1927 beschreibt Joseph Roth die Lebensumstände und die Notlage der Juden Osteuropas in der Mitte der 1920er Jahre, die in der Folge des Ersten Weltkrieges, der russischen Revolution und der Neuziehung der Staatsgrenzen nach dem Versailler Vertrag aus dem Baltikum, Polen und Russland vermehrt in den Westen emigrierten. "Sie suchten Zuflucht in Städten und Dörfern, in denen die meisten von ihnen noch nie gewesen waren und in denen sie leider abscheulich unwillkommen waren".

Jesus taught his followers that it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter heaven. Yet by the fall of Rome, the church was becoming rich beyond measure. Through the Eye of a Needle is a sweeping intellectual and social history of the vexing problem of wealth in Christianity in the waning days of the Roman Empire, written by the world's foremost scholar of late antiquity.

One of the most remarkable historical works of the 19th century came from the pen of French historian Numa Denis Fustel de Coulanges, a native of Paris. This amazing analysis of family and religious life among the ancient Greeks and Romans is the key to understanding ancient Mediterranean civilizations. The story begins in the misty period of the Bronze Age as the Indo-Europeans began to filter down into the Italian and Greek peninsulas. They brought with them a patriarchy that was based on ancestor worship and the veneration of hearth gods.

Kurt Schindler was an impossible man. His daughter Meriel spent her adult life trying to keep him at bay. Kurt had made extravagant claims about their family history. Were they really related to Franz Kafka and Oscar Schindler, of Schindler's List fame? Or Hitler's Jewish doctor - Dr Bloch? What...

Ein Herzenswunsch ist mit diesem Werk in Erfüllung gegangen und der Papa (Gott) hat Regie geführt. Ich hatte ihn darum gebeten, denn mir war es wichtig, dass alles so wird, wie er es sich vorstellt und nicht, wie ich es umsetzen würde. Ja, es ist anders, ganz anders sogar. Er hat alle Dinge, die ihm wichtig waren in mein Herz gelegt und ich brauchte sie nur umzusetzen. Kein Überlegen, wie es bisher üblich war, und alles hat auf Anhieb geklappt. Es war ein tolles Erlebnis für mich, mit einem fantastischen Ergebnis für Dich. Glaube an Deine Heilung, dann können Wunder passieren!

Der christliche Glaube und die christlichen Kirchen spielten in der Weltgeschichte eine gewichtige Rolle. Der Einfluss der Kirchen und der Religion mag in der Gegenwart beschränkt erscheinen, in der Vergangenheit war er dies sicher nicht. Dem Papst, den Luther zu Zeiten der Reformation als "Teufel" brandmarkte, jubeln heute alljährlich Tausende bei seiner Ostermesse zu. Jahr um Jahr werfen erschütternde Missbrauchsskandale einen dunklen Schatten auf das historische Erbe der christlichen Kirchen.

Religion in Human Evolution is a work of extraordinary ambition—a wide-ranging, nuanced probing of our biological past to discover the kinds of lives that human beings have most often imagined were worth living. It offers what is frequently seen as a forbidden theory of the origin of religion that goes deep into evolution, especially but not exclusively cultural evolution. 

In Fire in the Dark, author Jack Donovan - best known for his underground classic, The Way of Men - explores the common themes in these myths that are still relevant to the lives of men today. Beginning with the simple, primal metaphor of the campfire, Donovan identifies a tripartite system of masculine roles and shows how those roles have been repeated again and again throughout the history of myth and religion.

Religionen werden maßgeblich durch ihre Medien geprägt – z. B. Judentum, Christentum und Islam von ihren jeweiligen Alphabeten und dem darauf basierenden Denken. Digitalisierung bedeutet daher auch, dass Kirchen und Religionen immer weniger als unabhängige Akteure erscheinen, sondern als Varianten von "Religion" insgesamt wahrgenommen werden. Gegen den Trend zur globalen Vereinheitlichung stemmen sich religiöse Fundamentalisten, die seriöse Wissenschaften, freiheitliche Gesellschaften und andere Religionen bekämpfen.

Alguns tentam compreender os sonhos, mas nem todos têm a interpretação correta. Isso ocorre porque a interpretação certa de um sonho só se consegue com e em Jesus. O discernimento espiritual só é adequado e fidedigno na presença de Deus, já que o espírito do homem precisa estar conectado a Jesus e ao Espírito Santo para que se obtenha o entendimento certo. Podemos afirmar que os sonhos são mistérios, porque eles precisam ser revelados. É preciso ver a voz de Deus através da imagem, pois sonhar é ver a voz de Deus.

Según los japoneses, todo el mundo tiene un ikigai, un motivo para existir. Algunos lo han encontrado y son conscientes de su ikigai, otros lo llevan dentro, pero todavía lo están buscando.

Spiritual Power of Man's Word Man's word is Spirit in man. Words are sounds occasioned by the vibrations of thoughts. Thoughts are vibrations sent forth by the Ego or Soul. Every word that leaves your mouth ought to be potent with your genuine soul vibration. Words in most people are lifeless because they are automatically put forth into the ether, without being impregnated with soul force. Too much talking, exaggeration or falsehood used in connection with words is just like shooting bullets out of a toy gun, without the gun powder.
