In her study of medieval Chinese lay practices and beliefs, Valerie Hansen argues that social and economic developments underlay religious changes in the Southern Song. Unfamiliar with the contents of Buddhist and Daoist texts, the common people hired the practitioner or prayed to the god they thought could cure the ill or bring rain. As the economy rapidly developed, the gods, like the people who worshiped them, diversified: their realm of influence expanded as some gods began to deal on the national grain market and others advised their followers on business transactions. In order to trace this evolution, the author draws information from temple inscriptions, literary notes, the administrative law code, and local histories. By contrasting differing rates of religious change in the lowland and highland regions of the lower Yangzi valley, Hansen suggests that the commercial and social developments were far less uniform than previously thought. In 1100, nearly all people in South China worshiped gods who had been local residents prior to their deaths. The increasing mobility of cultivators in the lowland, rice-growing regions resulted in the adoption of gods from other places. Cults in the isolated mountain areas showed considerably less change.

Today it is a utilitarian waterway -- a 3.9-mile canal carved through the rough terrain of the Isthmus of Corinth -- serving the maritime industry in Greece by saving sailors many miles of sea travel around the Peloponnesian peninsula. Centuries ago, and for many centuries since, the canal was but a dream, and in this exciting and historically accurate novel, author C. Norman Noble tells the fictional story of young Lucius, son of the Roman Legate in charge of military affairs in the region while it was under the protection of Rome. Ambitious and fearless, as only the young can be, Lucius is easily recruited as their "salesman" by a pair of promoters aiming to raise a large sum of money from influential people, ostensibly to fund the digging of the canal. The adventure intensifies when Lucius boldly yet innocently approaches the Roman Emperor, Nero, who not only endorses the project but also comes to the Greek city of Korinthos (Corinth) to grace the project with his imperial presence, thus giving the appearance of legitimacy to this enormously difficult but potentially revolutionary effort. Only after Nero has bestowed his imprimatur and all the money has been raised does Lucius discover that his employers are actually "con men" -- convicts, actually -- whose intentions are far less than honorable. The tale then follows young Lucius through all of the ups and downs of growing into manhood and building a challenging dream, only to see it die as the criminals implement their plan to "take the money and run" and as the reluctant warrior pursues them, not only to recover the investors' money but also to rescue his own apparently ruined reputation. A swashbuckler, with just a touch ofromance and significant religious overtones, Changing of the Gods is a wonderful read for all who see history as fundamentally a gigantic, engaging, human drama.

This book is about the major changes taking place as the world begins to make the transition from the Modern to the Postmodern Era, especially those changes that are already affecting Judaism, Christianity and Islam. The author takes the reader through an account of how certain beliefs are formed -- including beliefs in magic, superstition, myth, legend, and morality. This is followed by a discussion of the world's present state of affairs and projections for the future. Finally, the reader is presented with the challenges that will most likely face each religion as this new world unfolds.

Conversion Is A Complex And Emotionally Charged Issue. Fundamentalists Exploit It, Liberals Complicate It, Many Do Not Comprehend What The Fuss Is About, And Others Shy Away From Getting Involved. In Today S Pluri-Religious Society, Change Of Faith Can Precipitate Religious Antagonism--Or It Can Facilitate Social Diversity And Tolerance. While Religious Commitment Is Essentially A Matter Of Personal Conscience And Choice, It Inevitably Impacts Other Levels Of Individual And Social Life. Author Rudolf C. Heredia Is A Jesuit Sociologist Who, With His Long Experience Of Working With Marginalized Communities, Shows How Mass Conversions Have Alienated People From Their Past Traditions And Lived Beliefs. Challenging The Traditional Orthodoxies Which Promote Or Oppose Religious Conversions, The Author Sees No Religious Merit In Political Posturing Or Conversion For Socio-Economic Gain. Instead, To Defuse Tensions, He Advocates Rethinking Religious Conversion In India With A Determined Religious Disarmament, Discarding Aggression. Here Is A Provocative Writer Who, Remaining Anchored Firmly In His Faith, Challenges Us To Seek A Common Ground For Tolerance And Dialogue, Premised On A Constructive Interaction With Other Faith Traditions.

From a philosopher whose magisterial history of Western thought was praised by Joseph Campbell and Huston Smith comes a brilliant new book that traces the connection between cosmic cycles and archetypal patterns of human experience. Drawing on years of research and on thinkers from Plato to Jung, Richard Tarnas explores the planetary correlations of epochal events like the French Revolution, the two world wars, and September 11. Whether read as astrology updated for the quantum age or as a contemporary classic of spirituality, Cosmos and Psyche is a work of immense sophistication, deep learning, and lasting importance.
