Those who adhere to a faith tradition are longing for theories and insights into how they can be true to their faith within the workplace and yet be sensitive and respectful to others of varying faith commitments and beliefs. Yet for Christians, respect of other faith traditions is especially difficult since Christianity as the dominate religion has become secularized and institutionalized within the workplace as represented in holidays and days off. Within the multiple theoretical and research dimensions of management, religion and spirituality, this book explores theoretical, conceptual and strategic theories and research which consider how individuals and organizations integrate their Christian faith in the workplace, and how these groups attempt to change society as a whole. This historical movement is characterized by a desire for people to live a holistic life which integrates their Christian faith into the workplace, also deemed "faith at work""--

Is it rational to believe in God or other supernatural powers? Are there good epistemic reasons for holding religious convictions, facts that speak for their truth? The empirical evidence would seem to suggest there are not. Posters of St. Christopher do not reduce the number of accidents on passing roads; miraculous cures do not occur more frequently in Lourdes than elsewhere in the world; and prayer provides no more help to us today than burnt offerings did to people of antiquity. As for theological defense, traditional proofs for the existence of God come up short as well. The belief that the principle of sufficient reason implies God's existence is nothing more than a leap of faith. And Darwin's theories explain the origin of species and the complexities of evolution far better than the assumption of an intelligent creator can. Even attempts at theodicy fail in the end. Whoever lets a person suffer to reach some other goal treats people as a means and thus acts immorally. An honest review of the evidence does not speak for the existence of God; quite the contrary. The world's suffering offers a conclusive argument against it. Veranstaltungshinweis: DEBATTEGibt es Gott?Argumente für und gegen die Existenz Gottes Prof. Dr. Ansgar BeckermannPhilosoph, Universität Bielefeld Prof. Dr. William Lane CraigPhilosoph, Biola University ( USA ) 29. 10. 2015, 19.30 UhrAlte Kongresshalle Theresienhöhe 15, 80339 München Die Debatte wird live und in voller Länge im Internet übertragen: www.cvmd.eu Zum Buch:Ist es rational, an Gott oder andere übernatürliche Kräfte zu glauben? Gibt es gute epistemische Gründe für religiöse Überzeugungen - Umstände, die eindeutig für die Wahrheit dieser Überzeugungen sprechen? Empirisch gesehen offenbar nicht: Christophorus-Plaketten führen nicht zu weniger Unfällen, Heilungen finden in Lourdes nicht häufiger statt als anderswo auf der Welt; und Beten hilft offenbar genau so wenig wie die Brandopfer in der Antike. Auch die traditionellen Gottesbeweise leisten nicht, was sie leisten sollen - unter anderem, weil wir nicht davon ausgehen können, dass das Prinzip vom zureichenden Grund zutrifft, und weil Darwins Evolutionstheorie nicht nur die Entstehung der Arten, sondern auch die vielen Probleme des Evolutionsprozesses besser erklärt als die Annahme, all dies ginge auf einen intelligenten Schöpfer zurück. Schließlich müssen alle Theodizee-Versuche als gescheitert angesehen werden. Wer einen Menschen leiden lässt, um damit irgendein Ziel zu erreichen, behandelt diesen Menschen nur als Mittel und handelt daher unmoralisch. Nüchtern betrachtet gibt es also keine epistemischen Gründe, die für die Existenz Gottes sprechen; aber die Existenz von Leid und Schmerz spricht nach wie vor eindeutig dagegen.

Is It Possible to Live this Way, a translation of the first part of Luigi Giussani's Si Può Vivere Così?, addresses the virtue of hope. A compilation of Giussani's conversations with young people who have chosen the path of the consecrated life in the Church - that is, have chosen to live their lives in the world according to the "evangelical counsels" of poverty, chastity, and obedience - it proposes an unusual yet reasonable approach to living as a Christian. As in all his works, Giussani encourages young people to be serious about their own existence and loyal to their experience. The conversations reported here are fascinating and insightful, providing support for a way of life that today is frequently questioned, rejected, or censured.
