"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.

Superstition Unveiled is a short book by Charles Southwell. Southwell was an English journalist, freethinker and colonial supporter, here discussing different forms of superstition and they enmesh with everyday reality. Excerpt: "Wise men put no trust in doctrine which involves or assumes supernatural existence. Believing that supernaturalism reduced to 'system' cannot be other than 'wickedly political,' they see no hope for 'slave classes,' apart from a general diffusion of anti-superstitious ideas. They cannot reconcile the wisdom of theologians with undoubted facts, and though willing to admit that some 'modes of faith' are less absurd than others, are convinced they are all essentially alike, because all fundamentally erroneous."

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.

Excerpt from Christ Lore: Being the Legends, Traditions, Myths, Symbols, Customs and Superstitions of the Christian Church The Golden Legend was anciently held in such high estimation as to be commonly -read in the churches. Many of the less known legends, however, are disfigured by the introduction of miracles, which, to say the least, would have been better excluded.

"I think your work is a necessary and valuable exposure of this religious phenomenon and the appallingly cynical exploitation of the religious and cultural beliefs of the poor and the vulnerable." Suzanne Wilton Huddersfield, UK "The book is particularly apt at this period of Christianity in Nigeria because it addresses the 'money syndrome' that has crept into Christianity in Nigeria and the faking of the call of God.... The book addresses the yearning of many Christians who are worried by this menace but may not know how to discuss it." Reverend Kenneth Nwaubani Abia, Nigeria "I am particularly impressed by the depth of research that has gone into this book. It will generate intellectual discourse, challenge our spiritual guardians and mentors and it may well put some of them on the defensive." Hon. Kazeem Adio Osun, Nigeria "This book provides an interesting insight into the plight of religion in Nigeria and into the facet of the human condition that allows for the exploitation of the faithful and vulnerable individuals." Will Colbridge Penistone, UK "Very few publications, if any, capture through the religious prism the mechanical nature of developing Nigerian society in the way that this publication does. ..." Casmir Okoli London, UK "The book will, I believe, open the door for many who are still in the dark regarding the subject matter." Rev Fr Nicholas Nwagwu New York, USA

Baptism, Superstitions, and the Supernatural by Rev. Dr. Lesley G. Anderson is a book uniquely, and unquestionably, one of the most informative and remarkable of its type. The sacrament of baptism is undoubtedly to this day an exceedingly controversial sacrament of the Christian Church. The continuing differing debates, arguments, and views about adult (believers’) versus infant baptism are examined. Superstitions and the supernatural associated with this sacrament are given adequate attention in addition to the many other informative factors relating to this sacrament. Further, this sacrament is examined as a scriptural, psychological, theological, and social reality. The introduction of baptism as a liturgical phenomenon highlights the educational quality of this book as it takes the reader into the interesting and fascinating areas of baptism of blood, baptism by fire, baptism of the dead, baptism of the Holy Spirit, and baptism in the name of Jesus only. In addition, this book brings to the fore an intrinsic excitement and understanding about the symbols and symbolisms, images and mysteries, signs and wonders associated with this sacrament. The role of the Holy Spirit and the centrality of Jesus in the baptismal act are of importance recognized. If symbolically baptism means dying to sin and rising to new life with Christ, does this apply only to adult believers? This book explores the question against the background of research conducted in the Central American country of Belize that unearthed the views and beliefs of laypersons. The reach of the work extends beyond Belize, and Methodist traditions are compared with contrasting beliefs and practices of other denominations. Popular superstitions associated with baptism are also explored as well as the impact of African cultural practices on Christian theology in the lived experience of Caribbean peoples. Although this research was conducted in Belize, it is borderless and boundless. Of vital interest is the exploration of this sacrament in African religious beliefs and cultural practices. According to Professor Neville Duncan, former director of the Sir Arthur Lewis Institute of Social and Economic Studies at the University of the West Indies, Mona, Jamaica, the book is “theologically and sociologically stimulating...while written from the Methodist perspective...the issues raised will resonate with all Christian denominations.” All denominations noted in this book are given their due respect regardless of their beliefs and/or baptismal practices.
