taking religion seriously charles murray

"The book is a highly personal and readable account of a profound change in the author's outlook: one that grew gradually over the course of decades but has lately blossomed..."—The Wall Street Journal“Millions are like me when it comes to religion: well-educated and successful people for whom religion has been irrelevant,” Charles Murray writes. “For them, I think I have a story worth telling.” Taking Religion Seriously is Murray’s autobiographical account of the decades-long evolution in his stance toward the idea of God in general and Christianity in particular. He argues that religion is something that can be approached as an intellectual exercise. His account moves from the improbable physics of the Big Bang to recent discoveries about the nature of consciousness, from evolutionary psychology to hypotheses about a universal Moral Law. His exploration of Christianity delves into the authorship of the Gospels, the reliability of biblical texts, and the scholarship surrounding the resurrection story. Murray, the author of Coming Apart and coauthor of The Bell Curve, does not write as an expert. He acknowledges that those taking religion seriously for the first time, like himself, must grapple with topics and ideas that defy intellectual mastery. In this book, Murray ...

An important part of philosophy is concerned with religious questions. What is the meaning of life, and how might religious faith or doubt impact such meaning? What is the evidence for the existence of God? Is evidence essential for religious faith? What is the relationship between science and religion? What is the relationship between religions? How can or should one assess virtues and vices, right and wrong, from a religious versus a secular point of view? In this beginner’s guide, Charles Taliaferro addresses these and other important questions involved in philosophy of religion. He challenges the negative, often complacent attitudes towards religion as being dangerous or merely superstitious, arguing instead for a healthy pluralism and respect between persons of faith and secular inquirers. What is Philosophy of Religion? takes a practical, question-based approach to the subject, inviting the reader to engage with this exciting area of philosophy in a down-to-earth way.

''You the funkiest man alive.'' Miles Davis'' accolade was the perfect expression of John Lee Hooker''s apotheosis as blues superstar: recording with the likes of Van Morrison, Keith Richards and Carlos Santana; making TV commercials (Lee Jeans); appearing in films (The Blues Brothers); and even starring in Pete Townshend''s musical adaptation of Ted Hughes'' story The Iron Man. His was an extraordinary life. Born in the American deep south, he moved to Detroit and then, in a career spanning over fifty years, recorded hypnotic blues classics such as ''Boogie Chillen'', rhythm-and-blues anthems such as ''Dimples'' and ''Boom Boom'' and, in his final, glorious renaissance, the Grammy-winning album The Healer. Charles Shaar Murray''s authoritative biography vividly, and often in John Lee Hooker''s own words, does magnificent justice to the man and his music.

Fiction film has been and remains the privileged site of film studies, with film history regularly being viewed as the rise of the narrative fiction film. Taking Fiction Film Seriously argues that despite this privileged position, the notion of fiction as it relates to cinema, has yet to be properly interrogated. Mario Slugan explores the significant misunderstandings concerning the categorisation of film, audience experience, and the real-life effects of fiction. He contends with the contradictory assumption that fiction films have tangible effects on audiences'' beliefs and behaviours, while also intuitively being ''not true'' or not to be believed in. Slugan analyses the notion of ''fiction'' from a theoretical and historical perspective, considering how it manifests in a broad range of films from the past 110 years, including The Arrival of a Train (Lumière brothers, 1895-1897), The Blair Witch Project (Myrick and Sánchez, 1999), and Waltz with Bashir (Folman, 2008). He supports his close readings with findings from philosophy, psychology, and literary studies, and in doing so seeks to challenge the current state of film studies.

The publishing house of John Murray was founded in Fleet Street in 1768 and remained a family firm over seven generations. Published to coincide with this ''remarkable achievement'' and in the anniversary year, Dear Mr Murray is a collection of some of the best letters from the hundreds of thousands held in the John Murray Archive. They reveal not only the story of some of the most interesting and influential books in history but also the remarkable friendships - as well as occasional animosities - between author and publisher, as well as readers, editors, printers and illustrators.Despite the incredible number of letters that were retained by the Murray family, some failed to arrive, others were delayed and some barely survived, but longevity added to the reputation and fame of John Murray and a correspondent in Canada who addressed his letter merely to ''John Murray, The World-wide famous Book & Publishing House, London, England'' as early as 1932 could be confident that his letter would arrive.Intended to entertain and inspire, and spanning more than two hundred years, Dear Mr Murray is full of literary history and curiosities: from Charles Darwin''s response to the negative reviews of On the Origin of Species ...

The first appearance of this award-winning writer''s work since the 1940s, this collection, which includes an introduction by John Ashbery, restores Joan Murray''s striking poetry to its originally intended form.Though John Ashbery hailed Joan Murray as a key influence on his work, Murray’s sole collection, Poems, published after her death at the early age of twenty-four and selected by W. H. Auden for inclusion in the Yale Series of Younger Poets, has been almost entirely unavailable for the better part of half a century. Poems was put together by Grant Code, a close friend of Murray’s mother, and when Murray’s papers, long thought to be lost, reappeared in 2013, it became clear that Code had exercised a heavy editorial hand. This new collection, edited by Farnoosh Fathi from Murray’s original manuscripts, restores Murray’s raw lyricism and visionary lines, while also including a good deal of previously unpublished work, as well as a selection of her exuberant letters.

From the Sunday Times No. 1 Bestselling AuthorIn On Democracies and Death Cults, bestselling author Douglas Murray argues how no less than the future of the Western World is at stake in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Drawing from intensive on-the-ground reporting in Israel, Gaza and Lebanon, Murray presents a compelling case that places the latest violence in its proper historical context. He takes readers on a harrowing journey through the aftermath of the 7th October massacre, piecing together the exclusive accounts from victims, survivors and even the terrorists responsible for the atrocities. On Democracies and Death Cults illustrates how Israel's commitment to fundamental Western values - capitalism, individual rights, democracy, and reason - has made it a beacon of progress in a region dominated by authoritarianism and extremism.Murray contrasts Israel's principles with the ideology of Hamas, which openly proclaims its love of death over life. If left unchecked, Murray argues, this misplaced Western sympathy could embolden forces that seek to undermine democratic values and perpetuate a culture of violence.

"LORD, TEACH US TO PRAY!" LUKE 11:1"Jesus never taught His disciples how to preach, only how to pray. He did not speak much of what was needed to preach well but spoke much of praying well. To know how to speak to God is more important than knowing how to speak to man. Not power with men, but power with God is the first thing.

Would it not be just what we needed, to ask the Master to give us a month-long course of special lessons on the art of prayer? As we meditate on the words He spoke on earth, let us yield to his teaching, in the fullest confidence that, with such a teacher, we shall make progress.

Since the last decade of the twentieth century, there has been talk of a return of religion in Western societies - the very societies that were regarded by many people as undergoing an irreversible process of secularization. Paul Ricoeur's philosophical writings on religion are contemporaneous with this movement of secularization and return, while at the same time his work complicates the schema. In Ricoeur's view, religion is part of the universe of convictions in which subjects live concretely, convictions that deserve to be heard and placed under the lights of argumentation and discussion. For Ricoeur, religion is the other of philosophy, the non-philosophical par excellence. He did not write a systematic philosophy of religion, but he wrote extensively about religion as a meeting place for language and conviction. The essays in this volume, written between 1953 and 2003, attest to the coherence, richness, and variety of Ricoeur's secular and philosophical approach towards religion. They range over the problem of guilt, the legitimacy or otherwise of Freudian, Marxist, and other critiques of religion, the relation between experience and language in religious discourse, the study of biblical hermeneutics, the nature of religious belief, and reflections on sacrifice, gifts, and debt. Ricoeur draws ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Douglas Murray odvážně popisuje a jasně vysvětluje tragické problémy, které se vynořily v západním světě jako důsledek ztráty orientace a smyslu lidské existence. Vznikla nová utopická ideologie společenské spravedlnosti, jež nesmiřitelně prosazuje radikální přestavbu společnosti na základě domnělých práv rasových a sexuálních menšin (i většinových žen). Tato ideologie proniká do hlavního proudu politiky, ovládla veřejný diskurz a stala se novou státní legitimitou. Je však zmatená a absurdní, a tak vede doslova k masovému šílenství. Jak píše Murray: "Vypjaté projevy znechucení na veřejnosti i v soukromí se opakují stále častěji, lidé se chovají jako v horečce, reagují stádně, anebo jako by si potřebovali nepřetržitě a vulgárně ulevovat. Každodenní zprávy nám předkládají důsledky takového chování, ale příčiny nám unikají." Na straně "progresivistů" vystupují globální americké firmy, zejména Google, Amazon, Twitter a Facebook, jež získaly moc "určovat lidem, co mají znát, o čem přemýšlet a mluvit”. Autor popisuje paradoxy a protimluvy tohoto šílenství, které se snaží potlačit normální zdravý rozum (např. výrokem, že ženy a muži jsou stejní).

Už delší dobu to vypadá, že se na Západě hroutí snášenlivá společnost humánních civilizačních zásad, které jí dosud zajišťovaly soudržnost a rozvoj. Média podléhají cenzuře politické ideologie "sociální spravedlnosti” a univerzity indoktrinují mládež revoluční vizí nové společnosti. "Všechno, co jsme pokládali za rozumné a dané”, píše Murray, "se nyní nachází pod palbou nenávistné kritiky”. Máme-li i tentokrát zvítězit nad fašismem a komunismem, musíme demaskovat vnitřního nepřítele. Není to snadné, pseudoprogresivistické hnutí "uvědomělých (woke)” bojůvek používá proměnlivý jazyk utopické "absolutní rovnosti rasových a sexuálních menšin” a svou novořečí dokáže posluchače často zmást. V útoku na západní civilizaci zneužívá americký komplex z otrokářství ("Na černošských životech záleží!”) a obviněním z rasismu útočí na liberální politickou tradici, západní filosofii, literaturu, umění a dokonce i exaktní vědy jako na pozůstatky rasistické imperialistické politiky "bílých mrtvých mužů”, kterou je nutno od základu vyvrátit a vybudovat novou, spravedlivou, multikulturní a beztřídní společnost.

In The War on the West, international bestselling author Douglas Murray asks: if the history of humankind is one of slavery, conquest, prejudice, genocide and exploitation, why are only Western nations taking the blame for it?It's become perfectly acceptable to celebrate the contributions of non-Western cultures, but discussing their flaws and crimes is called hate speech. What's more it has become acceptable to discuss the flaws and crimes of Western culture, but celebrating their contributions is also called hate speech. Some of this is a much-needed reckoning; however, some is part of a larger international attack on reason, democracy, science, progress and the citizens of the West by dishonest scholars, hatemongers, hostile nations and human-rights abusers hoping to distract from their ongoing villainy.In The War on the West, Douglas Murray shows the ways in which many well-meaning people have been lured into polarisation by lies, and shows how far the world's most crucial political debates have been hijacked across Europe and America. Propelled by an incisive deconstruction of inconsistent arguments and hypocritical activism, The War on the West is an essential and urgent polemic that cements Murray's status as one of the world's foremost political writers.

Offers an overarching definition and framework for the study of religion as it manifests itself in everyday life Look around you as you walk down the street; somewhere, usually hidden in plain sight, there will be traces of religion. Perhaps it is the person who walks past with a Christian tattoo or a Muslim hijab. Perhaps it is the poster announcing a charity auction at the local synagogue. Or perhaps you open your Instagram feed to see what inspiring images and meditations have been posted by spiritual guides to help start the day. Studying Lived Religion examines religious practices wherever they happen—both within religious spaces and in everyday life. Although the study of lived religion has been around for over two decades, there has not been an agreed-upon definition of what it encompasses, and we have lacked a sociological theory to frame the way it is studied. This book offers a definition that expands lived religion's geographic scope and a framework of seven dimensions around which we can analyze lived religious practice. Examples from multiple traditions and disciplines show the range of methods available for such studies, offering practical tips for how to begin. The volume opens up how we ...

A panoramic, thousand-year history of Israelite religion, from the Iron Age to the birth of Judaism, by a renowned biblical scholar  From its Iron Age beginnings to its aftermath in the Roman period, Israelite religion went through significant changes and transformations. As the Israelites responded to major historical events and political realities, their collective beliefs and practices evolved over time and developed new forms, even as earlier elements of religious culture remained an active substratum.  Weaving together biblical literature, archaeology, and comparative sources, award-winning author Karel van der Toorn tells the sweeping story of how Israelite religion evolved from a tribal cult honoring the ancestors and the “god of the fathers” to a scriptural religion practiced by an ethnic minority within the Roman Empire. He demonstrates how religion was integral to nation-building as Israel transitioned from a nomadic chiefdom to a monarchical state; how religious practices changed in response to the loss of political independence; and how in the final centuries before the Common Era, as Hellenistic culture permeated the Eastern Mediterranean, Israelite religion gave rise to a variety of reading communities committed to a body of sacred scripture, with the law of Moses at its core.  ...

What do animals—other than human animals—have to do with religion? How do our religious ideas about animals affect the lives of real animals in the world? How can we deepen our understanding of both animals and religion by considering them together? Animals and Religion explores how animals have crucially shaped how we understand ourselves, the other living beings around us, and our relationships with them.Through incisive analyses of religious examples from around the world, the original contributions to this volume demonstrate how animals have played key roles in every known religious tradition, whether as sacred beings, symbols, objects of concern, fellow creatures, or religious teachers. And through our religious imagination, ethics, and practices, we have deeply impacted animal lives, whether by domesticating, sacrificing, dominating, eating, refraining from eating, blessing, rescuing, releasing, commemorating, or contemplating them. Drawing primarily on perspectives from religious studies and Christian theology, augmented by cutting-edge work in anthropology, biology, philosophy, and psychology, Animals and Religion offers the reader a richer understanding of who animals are and who we humans are. Do animals have emotions? Do they think or use language? Are they persons? How we answer questions like these affects diverse aspects of religion that shape not ... Unknown localization key: "more"

A fascinating analysis of the evolution of religion from the internationally renowned evolutionary psychologistWhen did humans develop spiritual thought? What is religion''s evolutionary purpose? And in our increasingly secular world, why has it endured?Every society in the history of humanity has lived with religion. In How Religion Evolved, evolutionary psychologist Professor Robin Dunbar tracks its origins back to what he terms the ''mystical stance'' - the aspect of human psychology that predisposes us to believe in a transcendent world, and which makes an encounter with the spiritual possible. As he explores world religions and their many derivatives, as well as religions of experience practised by hunter-gatherer societies since time immemorial, Dunbar argues that this instinct is not a peculiar human quirk, an aberration on our otherwise efficient evolutionary journey. Rather, religion confers an advantage: it can benefit our individual health and wellbeing, but, more importantly, it fosters social bonding at large scale, helping hold fractious societies together. Dunbar suggests these dimensions might provide the basis for an overarching theory for why and how humans are religious, and so help unify the myriad strands that currently populate this field.Drawing on path-breaking research, clinical case studies and fieldwork from around the globe, ...

Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2020s have been consistently framed as a time crisis. Rather than take this at face value, asking how religious people may handle a crisis or what religion can offer people who feel they are in crisis, this volume asks what happens when we classify something as a crisis, and what is at stake in linking these "crises" to "religion." Discourses of Crisis and the Study of Religion highlights how these terms and categories, though seemingly self-evident, serve particular social and political ends. After an opening section that explores the deployment of crisis rhetoric in various aspects of higher education, this volume structures the critical approach to the category of crisis through four distinct sections: Language, Lexicon, Locus, and Locution. The section on language examines the various rhetorical and theoretical frameworks for "crisis." The third section, Lexicon, considers the question of method in the study of religion, interrogating the ways in which perceived crises mark shifts in how we do our work. The section on locus takes up the concept of data for religion and crisis, analyzing examples of how the construction of "crisis" can force moments of decision, adaptation, and reaction. Examples ...

Very Short Introductions: Brilliant, Sharp, InspiringIs religion a force for war, or a force for peace? Some of the most terrible wars in history have been caused and motivated by religion. Much of the violence that fills our screens today springs from the same source. Yet some of the bravest pacifists have also been deeply religious people, and many of the laws and institutions that work to soften or prevent war have deep religious roots. This Very Short Introduction provides an overview of the history of religion and war, and a framework for analysing it. Ranging from the warrior gods of Ancient Greece and Rome, and the ethical drama of the Mahabharata, through the Islamic wars of conquest and the Crusades, to present day conflicts in Sri Lanka and the Balkans, it considers the entanglement of war and religion. Yet from Just War theory and the restraints on war-making imposed by Islamic jurisprudence, through the Pax Christi of the middle ages, to the non-violence of Gandhi and Bacha Khan; there is also a story to be told of peace and religion as well.

Humans derive information from a complex natural and social environment, learn from experience, create tools, adapt to change, plan actions, act in a critical and rational manner, and formulate concrete and abstract ideas. In other words, humans have intelligence. A machine that displays some or all of these characteristics has artificial intelligence (AI). Attempts to create AI systems have a long history. Yet, AI systems emerged hardly a decade ago. Since then, AI has developed remarkable capabilities. Modern AI platforms and AI-powered robots can, among other things, converse, give erudite lectures, write essays and advertising material, create images and videos, drive cars and guide drones, initiate and conduct science research, diagnose and make treatments plans for sick individuals, and so on. The impact of AI is evident in virtually all fields of human activity. The rapid pace of AI has stirred debate on whether it will not only induce mass unemployment, inequality and a major social crisis but also that one day, sentient artificial beings smarter than humans will take over the world. RELIGION, SOCIETY AND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE has three basic aims. One, it provides an accessible description of AI, its capabilities and its advantages and disadvantages. Two, it explores ...

For more than thirty years, Jonathan Z. Smith was among the most important voices of critical reflection within the academic study of religion. Smith had also produced a significant corpus of essays and lectures on teaching and on the essential role of academic scholarship on religion in matters of education and public policy. Education was not a side issue for Smith, and his essays continually shed light on fundamental questions. What differentiates college from high school? What are the proper functions of an introductory course? What functions should a department serve in undergraduate and graduate education? How should a major or concentration be conceived-if at all? What roles should the academic guilds play in public discourse on education and on religion? Most importantly, what does it mean to say that one is both a scholar and a teacher, and what responsibilities does this entail?Smith''s writings on these crucial issues for education have been largely inaccessible until now. Some pieces in this book appeared in education journals, while others were collected in specialist volumes of conference proceedings. Many were originally delivered as keynote speeches to the American Academy of Religion and other major scholarly organizations, and although scholars reminisce about hearing ...

Douglas Murray brilantně líčí příběh masové imigrace do Evropy - její počátky v poválečném nedostatku pracovní síly, její zintenzivnění při slučování rodin a konečně humanitární ospravedlňování otevřených hranic. Od druhé světové války až po současnost vznikají a rostou ohromné nepřizpůsobivé přistěhovalecké kolonie, navzdory tomu by ale "příchod milionů nemusel být hlasem polnice posledního soudu, kdyby Evropa neztratila víru ve svou civilizaci, tradici a legitimní právo na vlastní existenci". Vyčerpaný a historickou vinou kolonialismu a rasismu posedlý Západ není schopen hájit občanské svobody a práva proti nábožensky sebejisté kultuře islámu, jež nezná odluku církve a státu. Murray vykresluje dramaticky narůstající spor většinové společnosti s intelektuální elitou, která hodlá evropský lid vyměnit. Důkladně analyzuje její akademické šibolety, vytáčky a lži i její ideál "morálně nadřazeného univerzálního lidství" bez kulturního rozlišení, utopickou vizi nesoudržné, multietnické společnosti pouhých lidských práv. Jak prorocky napsal G. K. Chesterton, proti ideologii bezbřehého splynutí všech se všemi se jednou instinktivně vzbouří miliony a rozpoutá se střet mezi davem a posedlou internacionální třídou. Ať už nadcházející konflikt dopadne jakkoli, podle Murrayho to pak nebude Evropa, jakou jsme dosud znali.

Nová brilantná a provokatívna kniha jedného z najvýznamnejších svetových politických spisovateľov. V knihe Vojna proti Západu sa autor medzinárodných bestsellerov Douglas Murray pýta: ak sú dejiny ľudstva dejinami otroctva, dobývania, predsudkov, genocídy a vykorisťovania, prečo za to nesú vinu len západné národy? Čína má dnes koncentračné tábory. Prečo ľudia zo Západu tvrdia, že naše hriechy sú jedinečné? Teraz je v móde oslavovať nezápadné kultúry a, naopak, znevažovať všetko západné. Niečo z toho predstavuje potrebné zúčtovanie, avšak väčšina osudovo podkopáva základ toho, čo vytvorilo najväčšiu a najhumánnejšiu civilizáciu na svete. Douglas Murray v knihe Vojna proti Západu ukazuje, koľko ľudí s dobrými úmyslami sa nechalo oklamať pokryteckou a nedôslednou protizápadnou rétorikou.
