Howard Goss was not only the founding general superintendent of the United Pentecostal Church, but was also a leading pioneer of the North American Pentecostal movement. His life story provides an important window on the development of the modern Pentecostal movement in general and the Oneness movement in particular. Goss’s passion for the restoration of the church to its apostolic roots illustrates the hunger in early Pentecostals to return to Pentecost. This book tells the story of what it means to live a Pentecostal life.

Martin Luther, full of compassion, grief, disappointment, and frustration, turns away from his entreaties to and debates with church leaders and writes instead to the German political leaders. With extreme clarity, Luther explains in this letter the unbalanced nature and habits of the religious institution - certain at this point that the German people could only be set free from this continual and escalating religious destruction through the intervention of their government.

The book is a controversial and critical account of the early history of the LDS Church.

In Cult Following, Ocker sheds light on the terrifying attraction of cults, demonstrating the elasticity of belief, the desperateness of belonging, and the tragedy of trust.

Religion is systems and structures and assumptions we didn’t create or choose–and, to be honest, we might not even like or agree with. You can feel however you want to feel about religion, but religion is shaping your world whether you like it or not. And if you don’t like how religion is shaping our world? This book might just be your first step in diagnosing the problems and agitating for positive change. Even if you are done with religion, religion is not done with you.

In 2015, the historian Chris Momany helped discover a manuscript that had been forgotten in a storage closet at Adrian College in Michigan. He identified it as the journal of a nineteenth-century Christian abolitionist and missionary, David Ingraham. As Momany and a fellow historian Doug Strong pored over the diary, they realized that studying this document could open new conversations for twenty-first-century Christians to address the reality of racism today. They invited a multiracial team of fourteen scholars to join in, thus launching the Dialogue on Race and Faith Project.

"Future of an Illusion," authored by Sigmund Freud in 1927, embarks on a critical examination of religion, articulating it as a psychological construct born from humanity's deep-seated needs for protection, moral guidance, and understanding of the universe.

La escuela del alma es una fascinante invitación para descubrir, partiendo de los cimientos de la educación, el horizonte de una vida madura, fecunda y espiritual. Paso a paso las realidades que nombran palabras como lugar, enseñanza, compañía, atención, mundo, cuidado, contemplación, creación... van iluminando el camino con luz propia, y nos descubren nuevos sentidos: cada ser humano se nos revela como origen y el encuentro, como "un alma que toca otra alma".

Es ist sehr schwer zu sagen, inwieweit ein Mensch religiös sein und doch in seinen Sünden sterben kann, wie sehr er einem Erben des Reiches Gottes ähneln und dennoch ein Kind des Zorns sein kann. Jede Gnadengabe kann nachgeahmt werden, ebenso wie Juwelen nachgemacht werden können. Anhand der Geschichte von Isaak und Ismael zeigt Spurgeon den Unterschied auf zwischen dem natürlichen Menschen und demjenigen, der aus Gott geboren ist.

A dramatic misinterpretation of the Jewish tradition has shaped the history of the West: Christianity is the religion of love, and Judaism the religion of law. In the face of centuries of this widespread misrepresentation, Rabbi Shai Held—one of the most important Jewish thinkers in America today—recovers the heart of the Jewish tradition, offering the radical and moving argument that love belongs as much to Judaism as it does to Christianity.

I was raised Catholic. You can all bless me now. Surviving a Catholic upbringing is a lot like surviving a repetitive hurricane. Just when you think you’ve got enough protection from the danger someone (Usually my Mother) throws a curve ball of Catholic guilt at you and you’re stuck trying to remember if it is a sin or not, whether it requires a confession, and the amount of shame you should feel. It’s like dodging the hurricane all over again. Depression runs a rough shot in the Catholic religion and trust me, I know why. Happiness is frowned upon.

Of all the figures in the Bible, David arguably stands out as the most perplexing and enigmatic. He was many things: a warrior who subdued Goliath and the Philistines; a king who united a nation; a poet who created beautiful, sensitive verse; a loyal servant of God who proposed the great Temple and founded the Messianic line; a schemer, deceiver, and adulterer who freely indulged his very human appetites.

The essays in this fascinating volume examine present-day psychological and cultural problems with the keen insight and humanistic sympathies characteristic of Erich Fromm's work. The Dogma of Christ provides some of the sharpest critical insights into how the contemporary world of human destructiveness and violence can no longer separate religion, psychology, and politics. The book brilliantly summarizes Fromm's ideas on how culture and society shape our behavior.

Swami Vivekananda made an unforgettable impression upon religious minds in America at the Parliament of Religions held in Chicago in 1893. He spoke of the harmony of religions and the innate divinity of every human soul. The swami taught that true harmony of religions is based on the spiritual oneness of existence. There is one life that pulsates in the whole universe. Spiritual oneness transcends the limitations of race, culture, creed, and dogma.

Молот ведьм — печально известное «руководство для охотников на ведьм», написанное монахом Генрихом Крамером и деканом Кельнского университета Якобом Шпренгером. Книга вышла в 1487 году и выдержала 29 переизданий, получив одинаковую популярность по всей разодранной религиозным расколом Европе. Большинство исследователей склоняются к версии, что при помощи этой книги Генрих Крамер пытался оправдать свою собственную инквизиторскую деятельность, приведшую к сожжению двухсот женщин и позорному изгнанию Крамера с инквизиторской службы за фанатизм и жестокость.

The four books of the Summa contra Gentiles were written by Thomas Aquinas between 1259-1265, before the considerably larger and more influential, Summa Theologica. The purpose of each work was different. Whereas the Summa Theologica addressed the faithful, especially theology students, the intention of the Summa Contra Gentiles (Systematic Exposition Against Non-Christians) was to speak to a non-aligned and even hostile audience. To that purpose, Aquinas presented arguments ‘refuting specific beliefs or heresies.'
