A groundbreaking new theory of religionReligion remains an important influence in the world today, yet the social sciences are still not adequately equipped to understand and explain it. This book builds on recent developments in science, theory, and philosophy to advance an innovative theory of religion that goes beyond the problematic theoretical paradigms of the past.Drawing on the philosophy of critical realism and personalist social theory, Christian Smith answers key questions about the nature, powers, workings, appeal, and future of religion. He defines religion in a way that resolves myriad problems and ambiguities in past accounts, explains the kinds of causal influences religion exerts in the world, and examines the key cognitive process that makes religion possible. Smith explores why humans are religious in the first place-uniquely so as a species-and offers an account of secularization and religious innovation and persistence that breaks the logjam in which so many religion scholars have been stuck for so long.Certain to stimulate debate and inspire promising new avenues of scholarship, Religion features a wealth of illustrations and examples that help to make its concepts accessible to readers. This superbly written book brings sound theoretical thinking to a perennially thorny subject, and a new vitality and focus to its study.

»Existenz, Analogie und Dialektik« (1953) ist der erste Teil eines Fragment gebliebenen ambitionierten Werkes, das drei Bereiche hätte umfassen sollen: zum einen den Geltungsanspruch der Religion im Licht der »transzendentalen« Problematik des spezifischen, transzendenzbezogenes Glaubens, dann eine »ontologische« Analyse der kategorialen Bestimmtheit der Welt von Religion und Glauben und schließlich eine konfessionsunabhängige Philosophie des Christentums. In den »Religionsbriefen« (2011 postum) legt Wagner, der philosophisch-wissenschaftlichen Prätention entsagend, eine Reihe persönlich gestimmter Betrachtungen zu Fragen der Religion, besonders des Christentums und des Katholizismus vor und spricht dabei die Leser als interessierte Zeitgenossen, Bürger, Menschen und weniger als Fachleute an. Ihr kontrastives Nebeneinander setzt den Band, zu dem die Monographien hier vereinigt sind, unter eine gleichsam dialektische, darin ihrem gemeinsamen Gegenstand entsprechende Spannung.

The most important work of the towering intellectual of the Middle Ages, Thomas Aquinas's Summa Theologiae remains one of the great seminal works of philosophy and theology, while extending to subjects as diverse as law and government, sacraments and liturgy, and psychology and ethics. In his third and final part of the Summa Theologiae, Thomas Aquinas begins to address the life of Christ, lived out both in Jesus himself, and in each of the baptized through the sacraments.
