Although this edition is already a bit outdated for what is going on now, I found her insights very helpful and hopeful for how we will have a viable structure for Christianity in the future. ( ) Quite possibly one of the best books I have ever read. I've been hearing so much talk-talk about "those people" who are "spiritual" and "just make up their own religions". FINALLY a scholarly and statistical and helpful defense: we live in multi-cultural times and places, we need multi-cultural ways to be faithful, and spiritual practices that work in our lives. Things are changing. We're not "making up our own thing", we are creating and enriching traditions that do not work! We can embrace difference! aucune critique | ajouter une critique
"In her latest book, religion expert Diana Butler Bass offers a fresh interpretation of this transformation and identifies a new spiritual awakening taking place inside and outside the church. Based on new research and a careful reading of history, CHRISTIANITY AFTER RELIGION argues that traditional Christianity has focused on three prescriptions, in this order: - This is what to believe (theology) - This is how to behave (practice) - This is who you are (experience and community) However, as modern people began to increasingly question their basic beliefs about their faith, disillusionment ensued and Christians began leaving the church as national studies reveal. Spirituality, by contrast, works in the reverse: people experience a connection to the divine directly and through community, are moved to change and serve others, and eventually discover what they believe. CHRISTIANITY AFTER RELIGION shows how this new bottom-up approach represents the real mission and message of Jesus and explains the dramatic spiritual awakening we are witnessing today. Replete with both statistical analysis and the testimonies of grassroots movements around the country, Bass's latest book shows us how to approach our own faith with a newfound freedom that is both life-giving and service driven. CHRISTIANITY AFTER RELIGION will appeal to both the news media and the large audience that made her first Harper book, Christianity For the Rest of Us, a success"-- Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
