Understanding living religion requires students to experience everyday religious practice in diverse environments and communities. This guide provides the ideal introduction to fieldwork and the study of religion outside the lecture theatre. Covering theoretical and practical dimensions of research, the book helps students learn to ‘read’ religious sites and communities, and to develop their understanding of planning, interaction, observation, participation and interviews. Students are encouraged to explore their own expectations and sensitivities, and to develop a good understanding of ethical issues, group-learning and individual research. The chapters contain student testimonies, examples of student work and student-led questions.

The Way That Lives in the Heart is a richly detailed ethnographic analysis of the practice of Chinese religion in the modern, multicultural Southeast Asian city of Penang, Malaysia. The book conveys both an understanding of shared religious practices and orientations and a sense of how individual men and women imagine, represent, and transform popular religious practices within the time and space of their own lives. This work is original in three ways. First, the author investigates Penang Chinese religious practice as a total field of religious practice, suggesting ways in which the religious culture, including spirit-mediumship, has been transformed in the conjuncture with modernity. Second, the book emphasizes the way in which socially marginal spirit mediums use a religious anti-language and unique religious rituals to set themselves apart from mainstream society. Third, the study investigates Penang Chinese religion as the product of a specific history, rather than presenting an overgeneralized overview that claims to represent a single "Chinese religion."

Faith Is a Way of Life is a basic blueprint for living in the Kingdom of God. From the moment you receive Jesus as Lord and are born of His Spirit, it is essential to have a clear understanding of the significance of this decision. It is equally imperative to be aware of the major shift that occurs in your life spiritually because of the intrinsic repercussions. Otherwise, your life is filled with confusion and disappointment that God has nothing to do with, although He is the one who is mistakenly held responsible. With this broadened awareness, you experience a new dimension of perception. Then is when you realize a lifestyle change is evolving within you-from the former way you lived in the world to the new way of life in the Kingdom. You step into and encounter a culture change. And with any culture change, there are principles to learn and precepts to incorporate which bring an entirely new purpose for living. Faith Is a Way of Life describes and explains clearly what these changes are, the rationale for these changes, and the necessity to incorporate them as a regular way of life. In God's Kingdom, we have a God who loves us, cares for us, and wants to be our God, but who has rather high expectations for us because we are His and He knows the potential of our purpose. Plus, He wants us to know how to live with Him, because He plans for us to be with Him eternally.

After seeing Christianity become increasingly defined in the media as a narrow and punitive political movement, Spayde began to wonder: Are religions now just combatants in the culture wars? Should he leave the organized church? How are ordinary people using faith positively to search for the truth and improve their lives? Spayde takes a journey across America that introduces him to an array of believers, eminent and obscure, who relate their personal stories of active and living faith–how they balance Jesus’s love and judgment, the church’s dictates, and their own free will–to live and love completely while on Earth. Here are veteran religious leaders such as John Shelby Spong, a retired Episcopal bishop who advocates a radical reform of Christian teaching that would eliminate talk of miracles and stress social justice, and Kosuke Koyana, an important Protestant voice in Asia whose firsthand knowledge of World War II horrors made him see Christ’s teachings as neither liberal nor conservative but simply “care for the widow and the orphan.” Spayde meets those committed to unorthodox beliefs, such as Joyce Rupp, a Catholic sister dedicated to the concept of the feminine as divine, as well as those who have for the sake of their faith drastically altered their lives, including Cynthia Williams who left a high-powered job in finance to work for a struggling inner-city church in Minneapolis, and Thien-an Dang, a Vietnamese refugee who became a top Radio Shack executive only to quit and work for a Texas ministry deeply connected to Vietnam. We’re also introduced to Mary Forsythe, a self-described “train wreck for Jesus,” who found the roots of her work as an evangelical preacher while serving time in prison, and hospice chaplain Anna Bradshaw, who was transformed by the “aliveness” of people near death and personally touched Spayde’s life while tending to his dying mother. Spayde’s odyssey brought him to a new understanding of why action is more important than the intellect in faith, how true solace is found in forging a personal relationship with God, and why worrying about one’s own “worthiness” is always beside the point. This is a crucial book that reveals the different paths that can lead to the same inspiring place, a book that teaches “how to believe” in ways that honor individuality, allow for personal journeys, and spiritually enrich not just our own lives but the lives of those around us. Advance praise for How to Believe “Jon Spayde has assembled a wonderfully vivid portrait gallery of Christian faith in our times. It’s a wild ride, this mystery tour across the deep divides of contemporary religion into the lives of believers and seekers. These are not ‘arguments’ against atheism or in favor of belief, but compelling voices of struggle and astonishment gathered by a writer of integrity on his own ardent search.” –Patricia Hampl, author of The Florist’s Daughter “Jon Spayde is a convivial and wise spiritual scout, who guides us in the direction of a robust Christianity that is deeply grounded in love. Along the way we meet remarkable figures from diverse religious traditions who inspire with their intelligence, insight and faith. This is the perfect book for all of us who yearn for a greater connection with the divine but still feel a little nervous walking through the church doors.” –Jay Walljasper, senior editor, Ode magazine and former editorial director of Utne Reader

Today's secular media tends to label Catholic culture as a throwback, an anachronism in the modern world, out of step and out of touch. Whether you are single or married, with children or without, consecrated or laity, new to the faith or a long-time parishioner, Living the Gospel as a Way of Life will show you how building a Catholic culture is both possible and relevant for today. This marvelous, timely book provides practical wisdom for those who yearn to build or rebuild a Catholic, Christian culture in their homes, religious orders, or parishes. Living the Gospel as a Way of Life leads one to reflect seriously on the very personal call to live as a disciple of Jesus and to do so within a relationship with others. At the heart of this book is the positive challenge to live the Gospel as a way of life. We are called to reflect on the question, what is the proper orientation of a person's life if we are focused rightly on loving God first, by living in relationship with others? While honestly facing the truth that life takes a toll on all of us, when we have learned in a positive way to live a "repentant life," we walk in the footsteps of Moses, the Prophets, John the Baptist and Jesus Christ. In this book you will find helpful principles for developing a spiritual culture in your home and wherever you find yourself, whether with one person or within the context of community life
