I decided to write this "thesis" for several reasons. First of all, I need to do this to clarify my own thoughts and reasoning about God, religion, and the church. Secondly, I feel that many Organized Religions, as shown by their declining membership, have serious problems and have gotten away from their founder's teachings. I am also concerned about the exclusive claims made by most religions and would like to do what I can to promote religious pluralism in our society. I hope by sharing these thoughts with others I can, in some small way, help to change the future.

To scholars of ancient philosophy, theoria denotes abstract thinking, with both Plato and Aristotle employing the term to signify philosophical contemplation. Yet it is surprising for some to find an earlier, traditional meaning referring to travel to festivals and shrines. In an attempt to dissolve the problem of equivocal reference, Julie Ward's book seeks to illuminate the nature of traditional theoria as ancient festival-attendance as well as the philosophical account developed in Plato and Aristotle. First, she examines the traditional use referring to periodic festivals, including their complex social and political arrangements, then she considers the subsequent use by Plato and Aristotle. Broadly speaking, she discerns a common thread running throughout both uses: namely, the notion of having a visual experience of the sacred or divine. Thus her book aims to illuminate the nature of philosophical theoria described by Plato and Aristotle in light of traditional, festival theoria.

"A stunner...every sentence is a feast for the senses." --Rachel Held Evans When you have an experience and tell the story of that experience to someone, something sacred happens inside of you. That experience doesn't have to be an extravagant moment, but it can be beautiful, nonetheless. And as you store up all those stories and share them, you grow your world's boundaries. You build community and remind yourself that every moment of your life counts for something holy, good, and glorious. The search for glory will bring freedom and a fresh perspective to whatever season you happen to find yourself in. Glory Happening is a book of stories and prayers that remind you to take a closer look at your everyday circumstances, to find the magical beauty in everyday experiences. It is an invitation to live deeply into every moment with the expectation that something good will find you at the end of the day. And once you experience glory, you have words to speak, a prayer to pray, and a story to tell. And so glory grows from person to person, and community is created around the reality that God is truly in our midst.

Here is a book about adventure, raw experience, and facing inner demons. Niles Elliot Goldstein is a young rabbi who sets out to find God in tough and often scary situations: dogsledding above the Arctic Circle, taking the Silk Road into Central Asia without a visa, being chased by a grizzly bear, cruising with DEA agents through the South Bronx, and spending a night in jail in New York City's Tombs. He explores the connections between struggle and growth, fear and transcendence, and uncertainty and faith, seeking the boundary where the finite meets the Infinite. Goldstein is not alone in making this kind of pilgrimage. There has always been a strong tradition of seekers who looked for revelation outside conventional religious settings and encountered God in moments of anguish, terror, and pain. Goldstein juxtaposes his own experiences with those of some of the great historical figures of Judaism and Christianity—Jonah and St. John of the Cross, Moses Maimonides and Julian of Norwich, Nachman of Bratslav and Martin Luther—as well as lesser known mystics and preachers, and he discovers, as they did, that it can sometimes take a journey to the edge to recognize God's presence in our lives.

Sufism, called the mystical dimension of Islam, is known for its inclusive nature, as well as its ethics of love and compassion, its devotional music, art and architecture. In India's syncretic culture, Sufism developed a distinct character, and harmoniously embraced the Bhakti traditions of North India. Rana Safvi's In Search of the Divine delves into the fascinating roots of Sufism, with its emphasis on ihsan, iman and akhlaq, and the impact it continues to have on people from all communities. Safvi relies not only on textual sources but also on her own visits to dargahs across the country, and the conversations she has with devotees and pirs alike. The book evokes in vivid detail the sacred atmosphere she encounters - the reverent crowds, the strains of qawwali and the fragrance of incense, as well as highlights the undeniable yet often forgotten contributions of women in Sufism. The resulting text is at once modern and a tribute to the rich and textured past. Weaving together fact and popular legend, ancient histories and living tradition, this unique treatise examines core Sufi beliefs and uncovers why they might offer hope for the future.

Searching for the divine means to embark on an inner journey to find yourself, your bliss, your potential and mastering the ability to live above adversity. Since life is not a stagnant object, we constantly have to refine, rediscover, and upgrade ourselves regardless of the obstacles before us. Searching for the divine takes you on a journey to finding meaning of life, fulfillment, bliss and encouragement amidst your circumstances. These ten poems are loaded with soothing metaphors and figures of speech, eloquent and impeccable enough to caress away your woes, kiss away your wrath and melt away the dark traits obstructing you from dancing on the stage of bliss. In this book you'll find:1. Sense of identity - the writer upholds the human element above anything else and praises the gift of life as a priceless blessing that makes every one who has it uniquely special, adorable and worthy. Searching for the divine may mean searching for the true you and the author makes it clear that one's bliss can only be found in his/her inner core of identity. 2. Hope - Has the tasteless waters of life drowned you? Have you lost sight for a glittering tomorrow? Has the deserts of life drained your hope? This is the book you must read. The writer challenges the reader to step up, show up and take control of their world despite the threats of the foes. The poems paint a picture that it's possible to rise up if you have fallen, to laugh again if you heart has been shattered and to breathe again if the vultures had declared you lifeless. 3. Victory - this book asserts that you are the solution to all your predicaments and that only you can defeat yourself. It also unveils that most of the nightmares of your life are as a result of the toxic traits within you and in order to eliminate these nightmares you need to erase your inner demons to which you are enslaved. These poems will make you understand that your only enemy is the person you see on the mirror, but if transformed, he/she can be a victor and wonder. 4. God's relevance - the poet doesn't shy away from indicating the importance of staying connected to God/higher power through prayer. The result of this connection include finding your bliss and being awarded the ability to prophesy and declare your wishful state of your life. The poems are crafted intentionally to reach the reader at a personal level so as to propel them to discover and grab their potential (which might be your divine), claim their spotlight and taste the sugars thereof. What readers said about the book:1. Mthulisi Sibanda (South Africa): "Lovely (poetry) novel. I really enjoyed reading this book. Although, it's not a novel it qualifies to be one because the poems are spiritually uplifting. The poems are packed with words of wisdom and I would definitely recommend this book to the youth as it channels you to be wise."2. Rethabile Modibedi: (South Africa) "These poems are an interesting read. For better understanding, the style of writing needs you to know the figures of speech. I highly recommend the book as I found that there's a poem each person will be able to relate to on a personal level. So there's definitely something for everyone."3. Cynthia Moretlwe: (South Africa) "My favorite poem from the collection is definitely number 10: The struggles against the shadows; because it's simple, easy to understand and puts me in that position of having a conversation with myself. I would really recommend others to buy this book because the content is different from other poetry collections we have read. Figures of speech were used correctly, the grammar was well put together and I really enjoyed myself (while reading.)"
