There has never been a husband and wife with a teaching and legacy like Rev. and Mrs. Sun Myung Moon's. ‘Revolutionary’ is totally inadequate to describe it. And, it will radically change the world for the better, one person at a time, guaranteed, perhaps beginning with you.

At its founding, the United States was an overwhelmingly Protestant country. However, over the last 250 years, it has become increasingly diverse with tens of millions of Catholics, millions of Latter-day Saints, Muslims, Hindus, and Jews, alongside a rapidly increasing share of Americans who claim no religious affiliation at all. The American Religious Landscape uses an in-depth statistical analysis of large datasets to answer foundational questions about this diversity.

THE RAMAYANAM, an itihasa of the highest order, is considered adi kavya, the first poem to have been composed. Written by Valm ki during Rama’s time, and ratified by him, this timeless epic has been treated with utmost care by all acaryas in their famed commentaries. Since the advent of human civilization, it has inspired many poets and dramatists across the subcontinent and has been transcreated in almost all Bharat ya languages. Multiple layers of philosophy and theology are an embellishment to this classic. Its influence on Bharat ya music, dance, sculpture and textiles is unfathomable.

A child was born two thousand years ago in a little village called Bethlehem. His birth fulfilled over 300 Old Testament scripture verses prophesying this event. Hundreds of people, royal ambassadors, kings, angels, shepherd priests, and countless others were in attendance to herald this event. Over the decades, the details have become obscured. What we celebrate in our churches at Christmas is not close to the actual details that took place. My favorite example is the innkeeper role in the annual play. What was his name? It doesn't matter; he did not exist. He is just a made up character.

There is so much goodness in all religions. Organized religion has gotten a bad rap over the years. Religion is not about having approval from others. Religion openly shares God-given wisdom for everything that is good. It does not mean that everything or everyone associated with religion is the epitome of good. Religion has been shunned. Worse, it has been rejected. Over time, we have allowed ourselves to be part and parcel of the good of religion being canceled. Now, our children and grandchildren are being excluded from solid religious influences.

Pagan Origins of the Christ Myth by John G. Jackson is a concise yet provocative exploration of the parallels between Christian doctrines and ancient pagan mythology.

Most people encounter disability at some point in their lives, either in their own bodies or through a friend or loved one. Faith leaders, sacred texts, and members of religious communities frequently offer religious teachings and metaphors as explanation for the presence of disability, but rarely do we hear the voices of people living with disabilities reflecting on their experiences of God, faith, or religious life.

Islam will be the world’s largest religion by 2075. Why? Derek P. Gilbert, author of the groundbreaking books The Great Inception and Last Clash of the Titans, argues that Islam is too big and too successful to be the work of just one spirit. Tracing the pagan religions of the nations around ancient Israel, Gilbert makes the bold claim that the religion of Muhammad is actually a collaboration by the old gods of Mesopotamia, a desperate partnership of fallen angels who were caught off-guard by the Resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Most books on Christianity cater to those who see the Bible as authoritative. But there's an unnoticed group who, while skeptical of traditional beliefs, still find deep meaning in church. Robert K. C. Forman, a retired professor of religion and hospital chaplain, is one of them. Though he’s often moved to tears during services, he’s “never believed a word.” Curious, Forman interviewed many dozens of others like him across denominations and countries. The result is, Christianity Reimagined: A Mystical Approach for Doubters and the Dubious.

In five of lectures delivered at Princeton Seminary during the summer of 1914, B. B. Warfield used “a progressive series of corrections” to explain “the divine dealing with man which ends in his salvation.” Starting with the divide between naturalism and supernaturalism, continuing to sacerdotalism and evangelicalism, and on through universalistic vs. particularistic views, Warfield emphasized complete dependence upon God: “It is only the Calvinist that has warrant to believe in salvation whether of the individual or of the world.”

Жизнь американского философа Уильяма Джеймса (1842—1910), ведущего представителя прагматизма и функционализма, которого принято называть "отцом современной психологии", не была богата событиями, не считая того, что он дважды удостаивался чести возглавить Американскую психологическую ассоциацию, основал в Гарварде, где бессменно преподавал, первую в США лабораторию прикладной психологии, а на склоне лет увлекся спиритизмом.

Western Christianity's long-standing support of Israel has, perhaps unintentionally, nurtured a prejudice against Arab people—the descendants of Abraham's first son, Ishmael. Author Tony Maalouf contends that this bias differs dramatically from the biblical portrayal of Ishmael and the nations that have sprung from him. With meticulous research and theological astuteness, Maalouf surfaces the positive portrayal of the Arab people in ancient and prophetic history, clearly showing that the Israeli-Arab conflict is a recent development in history.

The Separation of Church and Church is a thought-provoking book that explores the complex history of Christianity's divisions and the path toward unity.
