Many of us, proponents and critics alike, commonly make assumptions about religion. We may presume that religion is mainly about having beliefs or being good, or that it is concerned with spiritual rather than material issues, or that religious ideas and practices are meant to be somehow timeless. Such views, Peter Moore argues, work only to obscure the truth that religion is essentially humanity’s quest to become fully human. This enlightening exposition questions our very understanding of faith and contends that religions should remain open to reinventing themselves, both practically and intellectually, rediscovering neglected traditions and finding new ways forward. Written with subtlety and passion, this book gets to the heart of ongoing debates about the validity and purpose of religion.

"Reinventing Religious Studies" offers readers an opportunity to trace the important trends and developments in Religious Studies over the last forty years. Over this time the study of religion has been transformed into a critical discipline informed by a wide range of perspectives from sociology to anthropology, politics to material culture, and economics to cultural theory. "Reinventing Religious Studies" brings together key writings which have helped shape scholarship, teaching and learning in the field. All the essays are drawn from the CSSR Bulletin, a provocative, occasionally irreverent, and always critical journal which has long been at the centre of debates in Religious Studies. This collection will prove invaluable for students and scholars of theory and method in Religious Studies. It offers readers a unique opportunity to understand the history of key issues in the study of religion and what remains central to the study of religion today.

Against prevailing orthodoxy, this introduction to philosophy of religion urges a broader perspective that attends seriously to a wide range of religious and non-religious worldviews.

Reinventing Religion looks at what happens when our neatly constructed definition of faith collides with the reality of encountering our Living Savior and Lord. As Christians, many of us tend to live faith-filled lives that are comfortable and safe. Churches are our comfort zones and we seldom venture outside them. How to venture outside them is best exemplified by the Pharisee Saul as he reinvented himself as the Apostle Paul. He is examined in detail and provides the role model for Reinventing Religion. New insights are offered on how to reinvent ourselves and to leave our comfort zones.

This title was first published in 2001. 'An age of faith or an age of doubt?'- the question has dominated study of Christianity in the Victorian era. Reinventing Christianity offers a fresh analysis of the vitality and variety of Christianity in Britain and America in the Victorian era. Part One presents an overview of some of the main varieties of Christianity in the west ranging from the conservative - Protestant evangelicalism and 'fortress' Catholicism - to the radical - Theosophy, Swedenborgianism and Transcendentalism; Part Two reviews negotiations between Christianity and the wider culture. The conclusion reflects on general trends in the period, showing how many of these prefigured later developments in religion. This book highlights the creativity and diversity of 19th century Christianity, showing how developments normally associated with the late 20th century - such as the reassertion of tradition and the rise of feminist theology and alternative spirituality - were already in train a century before.

What we need is a more mature form of religion, not an abandonment of religion itself. This book proposes a new Humanist Religion ; it is the world's first religion consistent with both atheism and agnosticism. An inspiring vision, built only out of ideas of objective, ethical and practical merit. Its creed encourages us to: Pursue worthwhile things in principled ways. By offering no explanations based on otherworldly beliefs, myths or faith based explanations this new religion resolves the conflict between science and religion completely. In Humanist Religion the mystery that we appreciate, is the same mystery that science explores. A totally this-worldly religion, both atheism and agnosticism are present; no otherworldly or faith based believing is needed or appropriate. Humanist Religion encourages a rational faith, where we lead with trust and do the right thing, just because it is the right thing. The arguments presented here, represent a paradigm shift in how we should think about and practice religion. With this proposal, otherworldliness and reliance upon magical believing are outgrown and left behind. We desperately need to begin again in religion REINVENTING RELIGION shows how this can be accomplished. TO CONTACT: lcf.human@Juno.com

Once a central concept in anthropology, syncretism has recently re-emerged as a valuable tool for understanding the complex dynamics of ethnicity, postcolonialism, and transnationalism. Building on a century-long tradition of scholarship, this important book formulates a broader view of the mixing and interpenetration of religious beliefs and practices, primarily from Africa and Europe, highlighting the ways in which religions and cultures on both sides of the Atlantic have been assimilated and innovatively changed. Divided into four sections, the book focuses on religious syncretism in Brazil, Jamaica, and other parts of the Caribbean and West Africa. Greenfield and Droogers have brought together an array of outstanding international scholars whose rich and varied essays on specific geographical locales and customs comprise an innovative and comprehensive view of the transference of religious traditions and their continuity and reformulation on two continents.
