Modern Pagans and Heathens in the UK, Europe and N. America do not need anyone to tell them what to do. There are, however, many accepted ideas within Paganism that are rarely discussed and analysed in depth. As a result, we are in danger of creating an orthodoxy without realising it! This book seeks out some relevant topics to consider, whether you are an established Pagan, Druid, Heathen, Shaman or Witch or a beginner thinking about your path. It is also of vital interest to the academic trying to understand the rapid changes in the esoteric scene over the last decades: what issues cause distrust or disinterest by Pagans seeking authoritative sources of information? Amongst the topics are identity, ethics, magic, community, deities and sacred places. Theology, leadership, rituals, symbology and the very future of Paganism are also examined. This should give you something challenging to consider and a way of evaluating the overload of available information and its sources. Without being told what to do or think, you should then be able to make up your own mind.

An ambitious history of how medieval writers came to terms with paganism From the turn of the fifth century to the beginning of the eighteenth, Christian writers were fascinated and troubled by the "Problem of Paganism," which this book identifies and examines for the first time. How could the wisdom and virtue of the great thinkers of antiquity be reconciled with the fact that they were pagans and, many thought, damned? Related questions were raised by encounters with contemporary pagans in northern Europe, Mongolia, and, later, America and China. Pagans and Philosophers explores how writers—philosophers and theologians, but also poets such as Dante, Chaucer, and Langland, and travelers such as Las Casas and Ricci—tackled the Problem of Paganism. Augustine and Boethius set its terms, while Peter Abelard and John of Salisbury were important early advocates of pagan wisdom and virtue. University theologians such as Aquinas, Scotus, Ockham, and Bradwardine, and later thinkers such as Ficino, Valla, More, Bayle, and Leibniz, explored the difficulty in depth. Meanwhile, Albert the Great inspired Boethius of Dacia and others to create a relativist conception of scientific knowledge that allowed Christian teachers to remain faithful Aristotelians. At the same time, early anthropologists such as John of Piano Carpini, John Mandeville, and Montaigne developed other sorts of relativism in response to the issue. A sweeping and original account of an important but neglected chapter in Western intellectual history, Pagans and Philosophers provides a new perspective on nothing less than the entire period between the classical and the modern world.

Imagine a sports-mad culture, deep into Eastern spirituality, political globalism, and religious syncretism. Where women, finding child-rearing an inconvenience, abandon or abort their babies. A society where divorce and remarriage touches everyone. Imagine a society overrun by sexual deviancy and perversion. Sound familiar? It would sound familiar to the apostle Paul. The culture to which he ministered so effectively resembled our planetary culture -- almost decadent point for point. But what should encourage Christians today is that Paul, understanding the times, knew how to reach the culture for Christ. And he can teach us the rules of engagement today. Capturing the Pagan Mind helps us look to an old rabbi, who is still relevant, wise, and powerful and who still tells pagans who their "unknown god" really is -- their Creator and Redeemer Book jacket.

The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own: digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries, undergraduate students, and independent scholars. The Age of Enlightenment profoundly enriched religious and philosophical understanding and continues to influence present-day thinking. Works collected here include masterpieces by David Hume, Immanuel Kant, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau, as well as religious sermons and moral debates on the issues of the day, such as the slave trade. The Age of Reason saw conflict between Protestantism and Catholicism transformed into one between faith and logic -- a debate that continues in the twenty-first century. ++++ The below data was compiled from various identification fields in the bibliographic record of this title.

'Julian the Apostate' is one version, 'Julian the Philosopher' is another: the first is an error with an animus; the second is a truth with a bias. Julian was, in no true sense, an apostate, and he was not first of all a philosopher. He was an admirable specimen of a grand intellectual pagan. Hence the very pertinent sub-title of the book, 'The last struggle of Paganism against Christianity.' In that struggle, Paganism lost because Paganism had shriveled into a mere survival, just as Christianity will lose and shrivel up, dying from inanition, if it is not renewed with fresh forces from modern human tides. This book is one of the 'Heroes of the Nations' series, and not the least notable one. Its author, Miss Alice Gardner, the learned lecturer on ancient history in Newnham College, has made it a strong as well as a charming book. It has hitherto been hardly possible to find or tell the truth about this really heroic character. Christianity (or, rather, its army of managers) has much to answer for, as an obscuring agent in relation to many reputations. We cannot resist a strong feeling of sympathy with Julian. He was an honest pagan who could not bear to see the sweeping away of the old poetry and symbolism by a Christianity that was not always beautiful. Fancy it being left to Frederic Harrison to say whether England should be captured by the Salvation Army! The concluding paragraph of this book seems to us to beautifully adjust the balance in recognizing the blending of Greek culture and Christian ideals Hellenism neither lost nor won; it was merged. 'Julian's cause, ' says Miss Gardner, ' has ultimately triumphed, not by the suppression of Christian institutions, as Julian vainly hoped, still less by the extinction of the Christian spirit as a motive power in the world, but by the permeation of society, speculation and practical life with the most permanent elements of Greek culture. If Juli in was mistaken in thinking that the religious ideas litely coma from Palestine would soon pale before the revived glories of Greece, no less short-sighted were those who thought th it Hellenism was buried in the Emperor's grave. Sometimes for better, sometimes for worse, the two streams have blended, till it is now hard to conceive what either might have been apart from the other. We cannot feel that the triumphal cry of Julian's enemies, which has seamed ever to echo round his death-bed, 'has been fully justified at the bar of history. It is the Christ, not the Galilean, that has conquered.' Miss Gardner is as nearly unbiased as anyone could be, and we cordially commend her finely written story to our readers. The illustrations are unusually telling. Excellent in themselves as works of art, they are valuable as genuine illustrations, -- illustrations which illustrate, to use her own keen phrase. --The Coming Day, Vol. 5
