The essence of Judaism. by Baeck, Leo,1873-1956.(CARDINAL)125304; Howe, Irving.(CARDINAL)137878; Grubwieser, Victor.(CARDINAL)592116;
I. The character of Judaism -- Unity and development -- Prophetic religion and community faith -- Revelation and world religion -- II. The ideas of Judaism -- Faith in God -- Faith in man -- faith in ourselves -- Faith in one's fellow man -- Faith in mankind -- III. The preservation of Judaism -- History and task.This classic of Jewish religious thought began as a critical essay vigorously challenging Adolf Harnack's "Essence of Christianity". It grew into a comprehensive examination of Jewish religion and an invaluable key to understanding the background of Christianity and Islam. Jewish tradition permits conflicting schools of thought to exist side by side, as well as a many-sided interplay of ceremonial law, philosophy, theology and mysticism. It has never been greatly concerned with formulating dogmas. It is therefore a major achievement to have succeeded in defining its essential ideas and doctrines. This presentation is based upon Biblical, talmudic and later rabbinical sources. It preserves the variety and fullness of these classical originals; it avoids dogmatism; yet to Judaism, with all its diversity, it has given a definitive formulation. [Back cover].

Cultural literacy for religion [sound recording] : everything the well-educated person should know / by Berkson, Mark.; Teaching Company.(CARDINAL)349444;
Professor Mark Berkson, Hamline University, lecturer."When does the Jewish Sabbath begin? Who are Vishnu and Shiva? What are Buddhism's Four Noble Truths? What are the Five Pillars of Islam? These questions are more than an academic exercise. Religious belief has been innate to humans everywhere and in every age, from the time of the Neanderthals to the 21st century. It's also one of the strongest motivators of human behavior and has a profound impact on all aspects of our culture-- our spiritual beliefs, our rituals, our politics, and the very foundations of our democracy. Unfortunately, the majority of Americans fail basic tests about religion, including their own faith, according to polls conducted by Gallup and the Pew Research Forum. This is troublesome, because religious literacy is about so much more than naming deities or knowing the stories of ancient history. A basic understanding of religion is crucial for today's educated citizen"--from publisher's web site.

Christianity in the twentieth century : a world history / by Stanley, Brian,1953-author.(CARDINAL)809792;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 429-469) and index."Christianity in the Twentieth Century charts the transformation of one of the world's great religions during an age marked by world wars, genocide, nationalism, decolonization, and powerful ideological currents, many of them hostile to Christianity. Written by a leading scholar of world Christianity, the book traces how Christianity evolved from a religion defined by the culture and politics of Europe to the expanding polycentric and multicultural faith it is today--one whose growing popular support is strongest in sub-Saharan Africa, Latin America, China, and other parts of Asia."--Jacket.
