More than almost anything else, globalization and the great world religions are shaping our lives, affecting everything from the public policies of political leaders and the economic decisions of industry bosses and employees, to university curricula, all the way to the inner longings of our hearts. Integral to both globalization and religions are compelling, overlapping, and sometimes competing visions of what it means to live well. In this perceptive, deeply personal, and beautifully written book, a leading theologian sheds light on how religions and globalization have historically interacted and argues for what their relationship ought to be. Recounting how these twinned forces have intersected in his own life, he shows how world religions, despite their malfunctions, remain one of our most potent sources of moral motivation and contain within them profoundly evocative accounts of human flourishing. Globalization should be judged by how well it serves us for living out our authentic humanity as envisioned within these traditions. Through renewal and reform, religions might, in turn, shape globalization so that can be about more than bread alone.

Religion and cinema share a capacity for world making, ritualizing, mythologizing, and creating sacred time and space. Through cinematography, mise-en-scène, editing, and other production activities, film takes the world “out there” and refashions it. Religion achieves similar ends by setting apart particular objects and periods of time, telling stories, and gathering people together for communal actions and concentrated focus. The result of both cinema and religious practice is a re-created world: a world of fantasy, a world of ideology, a world we long to live in, or a world we wish to avoid at all costs. Religion and Film introduces readers to both religious studies and film studies by focusing on the formal similarities between cinema and religious practices and on the ways they each re-create the world. Explorations of film show how the cinematic experience relies on similar aesthetic devices on which religious rituals have long relied: sight, sound, the taste of food, the body, and communal experience. Meanwhile, a deeper understanding of the aesthetic nature of religious rituals can alter our understanding of film production. Utilizing terminology and theoretical insights from the study of religion as well as the study of film, Religion and Film shows that by paying attention to the ways films are constructed, we can shed new light on the ways religious myths and rituals are constructed and vice versa. This thoroughly revised and expanded new edition is designed to appeal to the needs of courses in religion as well as film departments. In addition to two new chapters, this edition has been restructured into three distinct sections that offer students and instructors theories and methods for thinking about cinema in ways that more fully connect film studies with religious studies.

Does Civilization Need Religion? sets out from the fact that religion's inability to make its ethical and social resources available for the solution of the moral problems of modern civilization is one, and the neglected one, of the two chief causes responsible for its debilitated condition. It is convinced that if Christian idealists are to make religion socially effective they will be forced to detach themselves from the dominant secular desires of the nations as well as from the greed of economic groups. It aims to show that though neither the orthodox nor the modern wing of the Christian Church seems capable of initiating a genuine revival which will evolve a morality capable of challenging and maintaining itself against the dominant desires of modern civilization's needs, there are resources in the Christian religion which make it the inevitable basis of any spiritual regeneration of Western civilization. Does Civilization Need Religion? maintains that the task of redeeming Western society rests in a peculiar sense upon Christianity, which has reduced the eternal conflict between self-assertion and self-denial to the paradox of self-assertion through self-denial and made the Cross the symbol of life's highest achievement. It is persuaded that the idea of a potent but yet suffering divine ideal which is defeated by the world but gains its victory in the defeat must continue to remain basic in any morally creative worldview.

The question of what makes life worth living is more vital now than ever. In today's pluralistic, postsecular world, universal values are dismissed as mere matters of private opinion, and the question of what constitutes flourishing life--for ourselves, our neighbors, and the planet as a whole--is neglected in our universities, our churches, and our culture at large. Although we increasingly have technology to do almost anything, we have little sense of what is truly worth accomplishing. In this provocative new contribution to public theology, world-renowned theologian Miroslav Volf (named "America's New Public Intellectual" by Scot McKnight on his Jesus Creed blog) and Matthew Croasmun explain that the intellectual tools needed to rescue us from our present malaise and meet our new cultural challenge are the tools of theology. A renewal of theology is crucial to help us articulate compelling visions of the good life, find our way through the maze of contested questions of value, and answer the fundamental question of what makes life worth living.

I have been annoyed my entire life listening to all the nuts, insane religious freaks, and crooked scammers who have said to me the world is ending so I must listen to their crazy, made up crap in order to survive! On the religious side, men in “fancy pretend to be holy” clothes direct their mindless brainwashed followers to work as slaves selling their false religious beliefs everywhere. But I know that if you blindly accepting their beliefs then this means enslaving yourself to think the thoughts they tell you to think, it means losing your free will, it means trapping yourself into a lifetime of servitude and financial slavery to these false religious leaders and their flawed organizations. Many religious leaders sell divine goods they do not have - they are not gods, they do not know more then most, they are just men who display no evidence of divine abilities, and they have no divine connections. In the end, they ultimately end up seeking their own selfish interest at the expense of their followers! It sickens me to see all the honest hard working followers sending their life savings to scammers, like many of the TV evangelists who live in their huge selfish mega mansions paid for by selling their lies and their claims of some direct exclusive communication with God. They even go so low as to use the fear of hell, or eternal torment, to scare people into obedience and into financial slavery to them. Then there is the annoying extreme on the other side. There are those persons who reject anything that is considered divine or unknown, like a few smug arrogant scientists. These scientists also deceive the public by pretending to support objective facts, reasoning, and beliefs; but they do not follow the evidence. They are not true scientists. Instead they start with their own strong bias opinions on the unknown, and then they look only for those facts that support what they initially believed. Sadly, many scientists pretend to know as an absolute truth many things which are just their bias opinion about things like God, the universe, and our existence. They state their opinion as an absolute truth to prop up their oversized ego, but really they just bring public shame and lack of trust to the many other legitimate scientists. In this book there is no hidden motive or agenda to trick you into a life of servitude into one of the many false, man made, religious organizations. There is no scientific evidence manipulation to get you to believe the bias point of view of an arrogant egotistical scientist. This book is simply about the evidence that supports a date and a time that the world as we know it will end. The end I speak about is not a doom and gloom end, but it is about the dramatic end to the way mankind will live in the near future. I admit that I will be asserting a few of my own bias opinions here. One opinion is that the world ending probably will mean the beginning of something much better. And I will also assert my personal “suggestions” about how to live a life of kindness and joy. But spoiler alert, I have no crazy cult for you to join! The focus here will be on the evidence that reveals the most important date and greatest news event of all time!

How we feel is as vital to our survival as how we think. This claim, based on the premise that emotions are largely adaptive, serves as the organizing theme of Why We Need Religion. This book is a novel pathway in a well-trodden field of religious studies and philosophy of religion. Stephen Asma argues that, like art, religion has direct access to our emotional lives in ways that science does not. Yes, science can give us emotional feelings of wonder and the sublime--we can feel the sacred depths of nature--but there are many forms of human suffering and vulnerability that are beyond the reach of help from science. Different emotional stresses require different kinds of rescue. Unlike secular authors who praise religion's ethical and civilizing function, Asma argues that its core value lies in its emotionally therapeutic power. No theorist of religion has failed to notice the importance of emotions in spiritual and ritual life, but truly systematic research has only recently delivered concrete data on the neurology, psychology, and anthropology of the emotional systems. This very recent "affective turn" has begun to map out a powerful territory of embodied cognition. Why We Need Religion incorporates new data from these affective sciences into the philosophy of religion. It goes on to describe the way in which religion manages those systems--rage, play, lust, care, grief, and so on. Finally, it argues that religion is still the best cultural apparatus for doing this adaptive work. In short, the book is a Darwinian defense of religious emotions and the cultural systems that manage them.
