Is belief in the Nicene and Apostles Creeds required to be a Christian? Does science support or diminish belief in the divine? How does one live Jesus' way in the world? A careful study of Jesus shows that his intended legacy for us was not a set of propositional beliefs, but a way for being in the world, a way that opens us to the extraordinary opportunity of the present, a way that can convert our hurried, anxious lives into something luminous. Our obsession with "what to believe" misses the primary message of the Bible, says McQuiston, who illustrates that the paramount message of Jesus, and even the Hebrew Scriptures, is not about what stories to believe, but how to live.

Robert M. Price, a former Evangelical Christian, examines the confusing intersection of Christianity and superstition by asking questions. Is "practicing the presence of God" actually a variety of paranoia? Is having a "personal relationship with Jesus Christ" really akin to a child playing with an imaginary friend? At what point does a religious belief become an obsessive neurosis? Price finds that the source of superstition in Christianity is the objectification of the transcendent. As a result, he argues, many of the most destructive superstitions within Christianity are inessential accretions to the faith, interfering with life-transforming piety to the glad benefit of many of Christianity's adherents. Christians who believe that an unexamined faith is not worth having will profit from struggling with Jesus Christ Superstition.

Document from the year 2017 in the subject Theology - Miscellaneous, , language: English, abstract: The decline of Christianity world-wide is no secret and it may be expected that churches will die, or – at most – become fringe phenomena. As science progresses it gets clear that the Bible cannot be regarded as God-inspired due to all its mistakes, contradictions, fiction dressed up as history and inhumane laws. It is also evident that Jesus of Nazareth was no divine person but only an ordinary human being who had delusional dreams about becoming king of the Jews, that Paul of Tarsus invented Christianity by combining elements of the Old Testament with paganism on account of a series of visions or halluciniations he said he had had, that Christian doctrines are often irrational superstitions, and that one may lead a meaningful and moral life without being religious. Some new perspectives on the life of Jesus of Nazareth are given, as well as novel arguments to prove that God never existed. It is shown that the universe is ruled by rational axioms, which may be regarded as eternal and even divine. This book contains much that will keep theologians, philosophers and scientists busy, but it is also aimed at the layperson who is interested in religion, philosphy and science.

The Roman author Pliny the Younger characterizes Christianity as “contagious superstition”; two centuries later the Christian writer Eusebius vigorously denounces Greek and Roman religions as vain and impotent “superstitions.” The term of abuse is the same, yet the two writers suggest entirely different things by “superstition.” Dale Martin provides the first detailed genealogy of the idea of superstition, its history over eight centuries, from classical Greece to the Christianized Roman Empire of the fourth century C.E. With illuminating reference to the writings of philosophers, historians, and medical teachers he demonstrates that the concept of superstition was invented by Greek intellectuals to condemn popular religious practices and beliefs, especially the belief that gods or other superhuman beings would harm people or cause disease. Tracing the social, political, and cultural influences that informed classical thinking about piety and superstition, nature and the divine, Inventing Superstition exposes the manipulation of the label of superstition in arguments between Greek and Roman intellectuals on the one hand and Christians on the other, and the purposeful alteration of the idea by Neoplatonic philosophers and Christian apologists in late antiquity. Inventing Superstition weaves a powerfully coherent argument that will transform our understanding of religion in Greek and Roman culture and the wider ancient Mediterranean world.

"Superstition" is one of the most fought over terms in the history of early modern popular culture, especially religious culture, and is also one of the most difficult to define. This volume offers a novel approach to the issue, based upon national and regional studies, and examinations of attitudes to prophets, ghosts, saints, and demonology, alongside an analysis of Catholic responses to the Reformation and the apparent presence of "superstition" in the reformed churches. It challenges the assumptions that Catholic piety was innately superstitious, while Protestantism was rational, and suggests that the early modern concept of "superstition" needs more careful treatment by historians.

Don't be fooled by the title. Australian author Hannah Boland is a faithful servant of Jesus. But having lost a second near full-term baby in 2013, Hannah was forced to face the deep, often unanswered questions of the Christian faith and to peel away the layers of fluff or "superstition" to see what really lies at the heart of her faith, and to discover anew what it means to know God. To help her do this, Hannah engaged the help of three of her most trusted Godly mentors, and asked them to respond in whatever way they chose with only one condition: they were not allowed to give answers based solely on rhetoric or learned theology, but rather from their own personal walk with God whilst drawing upon the fruit of their respective areas of ministry, professional formation and life experience. The result is a challenging book which may very well change the way you think about God, Jesus and the Bible, regardless of whether or not you share the faith of Christianity.
