"Is it wrong to doubt? Many Christians assume that doubt will lead us further away from God. However, Professor and philosopher Travis Dickinson says that doubt is an important step on the way. It's possible to wander toward God as we ask our questions honestly. As we do, we'll discover the truth, goodness, and beauty of God waiting for us"--

"Faith Through the Prism of Psychology introduces readers to the structure and function of the inherent ability of our Self to invest objects with reality - existentialization (EXON). The author moves away from traditional ideas of existence and faith, arguing that it is an inherent ability of an individual mind to invest entities (both objective and subjective) with reality. The book treats faith as a psychological ability of the mind to upgrade the existential statuses of imaginary entities, such as ghosts or gods; the working of faith is operationalized and analyzed in empirical psychological studies. It presents a new model of investing objects with existence, with such structural elements as the belief in object permanence (BOP), magic/ordinary distinguisher (MOD), magic/trick distinguisher (MTD), imaginary/perceived distinguisher (IPD), BOP defense mechanism (BOP/DM) and realities distinguisher (RD). It will be essential reading for anyone interested in existence from psychology, philosophy, theology or psychotherapy backgrounds"--

"Do I Stay Christian? addresses in public the powerful question that surprising numbers of people-including pastors, priests, and other religious leaders-are asking in private. Picking up where Faith After Doubt leaves off, Do I Stay Christian? is not McLaren's attempt to persuade Christians to dig in their heels or run for the exit. Instead, he combines his own experience with that of thousands of people who have confided in him over the years to help readers make a responsible, honest, ethical decision about their religious identity. There is a way to say both yes and no to the question of staying Christian, McLaren says, by shifting the focus from whether we stay Christian to how we stay human. If Do I Stay Christian? is the question you're asking-or if it's a question that someone you love is asking-this is the book you've been waiting for"--Publisher's description.

Faith in Unions is a personal account, representing a critique of Whiteness and Black marginality in the Faith Workers Trade Union. In short, it is a Black theology critique of the way Muslim and Hindu faith workers have been treated in the British Labour movement. This book clearly has things to say about discriminatory practices, which puts the discussion about Englishness and Britishness into a wider context. I am suggesting a political agenda associated with English ethnicity as the mode of involvement to explain policies that are likely to result in racialised religious exclusion. Faith in Unions gives focus to Muslim and Hindu workplace groupings within the Faith Workers Branch and the opposition to their formation from Anglican and Methodist Christian members. I am concerned with the struggle for faith recognition within a discriminatory and institutionally racist union structure. This book offers an explicit exploration of what I mean by "the racialised other" in the context of the British Labour movement. In this we need to understand the ways historical Christianity has defined Black identities. My conclusion hopefully will start a wider discussion of Englishness and English exclusivity.

«Il De Vera Religione […] è un’opera scritta da Agostino circa tre anni dopo aver ricevuto il battesimo, ma prima dell’ordinazione presbiterale (391), e in essa viene affrontato un tema quanto mai centrale per stabilire quale fosse l’idea che l’autore aveva del cristianesimo e quale fosse il suo atteggiamento nei confronti del neoplatonismo. […] L’autore, ancora semplice fedele laico, non solo ha identificato la vera religione con il cristianesimo della Chiesa cattolica, non solo ha voluto esortare i manichei e i pagani platonici a farsi cristiani, ma ha ricordato a tutti, anche agli stessi cristiani cattolici, che la vera religione consiste nell’unirsi interiormente all’unico vero Dio e che questa unione si ha solo quando il cuore dell’uomo non serve nessun idolo, neppure quelli che l’uomo stesso si crea sotto l’impulso dei propri vizi. In altre parole, oltre l’intenzione antimanichea e antipagana, da tutti riconosciute, […] Agostino ha voluto esortare i lettori e in particolare i cristiani cattolici a praticare con coerenza la vera religione, che è quella cristiana, evitando di cadere in un genere di idolatria interiore, frutto dei propri vizi e peggiore di quella dei manichei e dei pagani, in modo da accordare la propria condotta di vita alla fede e al culto del vero Dio, uno e trino».

Religion is relevant to all of us, whether we are believers or not. This book concerns two interrelated topics. First, how probable is God's existence? Should we not conclude that all divinities are human inventions? Second, what are the mental and social functions of endorsing religious beliefs? The answers to these questions are interdependent. If a religious belief were true, the fact that humans hold it might be explained by describing how its truth was discovered. If all religious beliefs are false, a different explanation is required. In this provocative book Herman Philipse combines philosophical investigations concerning the truth of religious convictions with empirical research on the origins and functions of religious beliefs. Numerous topics are discussed, such as the historical genesis of monotheisms out of polytheisms, how to explain Saul's conversion to Jesus, and whether any apologetic strategy of Christian philosophers is convincing. Universal atheism is the final conclusion.
