Of all great religions, it is Buddhism that has focused most intensively on that aspect of religion that we call spirituality. No religion has set a higher value on states of spiritual insight and liberation, and none has set forth so methodologically and with such a wealth of reflection the various paths and disciplines by which such states are reached. |

An exploration of the richness of Hindu spirituality, this is Volume 7 in the collection, "World Spirituality: An Encyclopedic History of the Religious Quest". "A staggering series by a Who's Who in the international community of spiritual scholarship". |

This is the only available English-language attempt to cover the entire history of Jewish Spirituality. An extremely valuable volume that discusses the richness of the Jewish Spiritual Heritage. |

Eminent scholars shed light on the beliefs and practices of large numbers of people who describe them as spiritual even though they acknowledge no strong bond of doctrine or community with any historical religion. Topics covered include: feminism, environmentalism, gay liberation, twelve-steps programs, therapy, mountain climbing, chiropractic, painting, nature study, playing computer games. The writers also relate these secular forms of spirituality to traditional religious expressions and the philosophical challenge of bringing some coherence to a diverse and innovative genre of contemporary spiritual life. |

Continuing research by both Christian and Jewish historians has markedly altered old stereotypes and has brought a new opportunity to explore the implications of Jesus' Jewishness. Among the contributors are Harvey Cox, James Charlesworth, Hans Kung, John Meier, David Flusser and Alan Segal. |

This third volume in a five-volume set covers the theological and spiritual significance of a period that marked a turning point in the history of Christian mysticism. It documents the dialogue between male and female mystics that made possible new forms of religious life, especially the Franciscan and Dominican orders and the independent women known as Beguines, and that provided the impetus of a new mysticism whose influence continues today.

A unique life of Jesus that asks a new question: how did Jesus himself come to understand his life, and experience his faith? This imaginative narrative, grounded in scholarship, suggests the powerful answers. |

This book represents a refinement and further development of the core thesis that de Lubac had originally put forward many years earlier in his bold and controversial "Surnaturel" (1946), in which he first called into question the idea of "pure nature". Mystery of the Supernatural offers precious insight into the core of de Lubac's theological vision - a vision that did much to shape the teaching of Vatican II - and sheds light on crucial issues for the Church's relationship to the world and to culture. |
|
This critical discussion of myths, figures from the ancient world and from North American Indian spiritual tradition, raises new models and makes some positive new sense out of the men's movements. |
