TABLE OF CONTENTS / INHALTSVERZEICHNIS
A MILLENNIAL AGE
LIVING WITH INVISIBILITY
RELIGION AND POWER
RELIGION AND CONTEMPORARY SCIENCE
DIESES SCHRIFTSTUECK WURDE MASCHINELL ERZEUGT.
GRAHAM
WARD
MAKES
A
BOLD
AND
ORIGINAL
CASE
FOR
STUDYING
THEOLOGY
AND
RELIGION
TOGETHER.
IN A
BREATHTAKING
JOURNEY
ACROSS
SPACE
AND
TIME,
HE
EXPLORES
WHY
RELIGION
HAS
CAPTURED
THE
DREAMS, HOPES,
AND
ASPIRATIONS
OF
BILLIONS
OF
PEOPLE
THE
WORLD OVER,
AND WHY
THEOLOGICAL
AND
RELIGIOUS
LITERACY
IS
VITAL
FOR
LIVING
WISELY
TODAY.

READERS
WILL
BE
GRATEFUL
FOR THE
COMPELLING
EXAMPLES,
THE
ACCES
SIBLE
PROSE,
AND THE
GENEROUS
TONE
OF
THIS
BOOK
BY
A
DISTINGUISHED
SCHOLAR/
THOMAS
TWEED,
AUTHOR OF
CROSSING
AND
DWELLING: A
THEORY
OF
RELIGION
GRAHAM
WARD ARGUES THAT THE STUDY OF
THEOLOGY
AND RELIGION, AS A
SINGLE
ACADEMIC DISCIPLINE,
PLAYS
A
VITAL ROLE IN HELPING US TO UNDER
STAND
POLITICS, WORLD
AFFAIRS,
AND THE NATURE OF HUMANITY ITSELF.
RELIGION CAN BE USED TO JUSTIFY INHUMANE
ACTIONS,
BUT IT
ALSO
FEEDS
DREAMS,
INSPIRES
HOPES,
AND
SHAPES
ASPIRATIONS.
BY
INVOKING
A
SENSE
OF WONDER ABOUT THE NATURAL WORLD, RELIGION CAN PROMOTE
SCIENTIFIC
DISCOVERIES,
AND
BY
FOCUSING
ON
SHARED EXPERIENCES,
RELIGION
HELPS
TO
BIND
SOCIETIES
TOGETHER. SOME
SCIENTISTS
NOW BELIEVE THAT RELIGIOUS
FEELING
MIGHT BE HARD-WIRED INTO OUR DNA,
A
FUNDAMENTAL ASPECT OF
WHAT
MAKES
US
HUMAN.
BECAUSE
RELIGION
IS
ROOTED
IN
THE IMAGINATION
ITSELF,
ITS
STUDY INVOLVES
STARING
INTO THE PROFUNDITIES OF WHO WE ARE.
RELIGION
WILL
NOT
GO
AWAY,
SO
IT
NEEDS
TO
BE UNDERSTOOD.
GRAHAM
WARD IS REGIUS PROFESSOR OF DIVINITY AT THE UNIVERSITY OF
OXFORD
AND THE AUTHOR OF NUMEROUS BOOKS. HE IS
ALSO
AN ANGLICAN
PRIEST.
