Abstract:

Abstract In his recent book Petitionary Prayer, Scott Davison presents an epistemological challenge to petitionary prayer. He asks: If S prays for God to bring about event E, and E in fact occurs, how could one be justified in believing that E was an answer to S’s prayer? Apart from direct revelation in which God explicitly provides reasons for believing that E was an answer to prayer, Davison argues, S could not know that S’s prayer had been answered by God. Thus, the person praying should remain agnostic about answered prayers. I argue that in failing to attend to two theological resources a

Abstract:

AbstractIn antiquity prayers were said out loud and silent prayer was regarded as an anomalous practice that was looked upon with great suspicion. It was brought into connection with a variety of base motives which it was feared would be strongly objected to by others, foremost among which are wishes to practice magic, to have illicit sex, or to conceal crimes or criminal plans. It was also feared that one's prayer might be counteracted or undone by more powerful prayers of the opponents. It is only in circles of later (esp. Neo-)Platonism, in the framework of the increasing transcendentalisat

Abstract:

AbstractIn this study we explored the development of children's beliefs about the concept of prayer. Three- to 8-year-old children were given a combination of tasks and structured interview questions designed to assess a number of basic aspects of their concepts of prayer. We also considered potential relations between children's concepts of prayer and two other explanatory systems — naïve psychology and magic — by probing understanding of the roles of knowledge and thinking in prayer and by comparing beliefs in prayer to beliefs in wishing. Results revealed significantly more sophisticated co

Abstract:

AbstractIn order to understand the religious mentality of ancient prayer, this article investigates the mode of public praying with respect to the use of fixed formularies, for which the most relevant references from Hellenistic and Roman antiquity are collected and presented. In spite of the different religious traditions, a surprisingly homogenous picture emerges: Public prayers had to be recited in accordance to formularies whose wording was prescribed and not at will of the praying persons. The correct recitation of a formulary (and even its proper pronunciation) was meant to guarantee the

Abstract:

This poem illustrates the internal narrative of Ada Lois Sipuel Fisher, an African American woman who was denied entry into the University of Oklahoma School of Law, as discussed in Manuel Luis Espinoza and Shirin Vossoughi's “Perceiving Learning Anew.” Here, our protagonist wrestles with the concept of “dignity” when weighing the worth of her own education with the discrimination she faces to earn her degree. Using the themes of the author's text and research, this poem stylizes a “dignity-conferring” education through perseverance in the face of racism and divisiveness that still exists toda

Abstract:

Abstract This paper discusses the message and examines the validity of Hadith commanding prayer for children who have not attained the age of puberty (baligh). Prayer for early children is extremely important for the parents or guardians to bear in mind, so they are accustomed to and do not feel as burden when they are in adulthood. Hence, through hadith the Prophet ordered the parents or whoever is responsible to order their children to perform prayers since the age which is actually still fairly early. However, the Hadith under discussion seems to be less synchronized with the concept of muk

Abstract:

Abstract Muslims perform the prayers facing towards the correct qibla direction would be the only one of the practical issues in linking theoretical studies with practice. The concept of facing towards the Kaaba in Mecca during the prayers has long been the source of controversy among the muslim communities to not only in poor and developing countries but also in developed countries. The aims of this study were to analyse the geodetic azimuths of qibla calculated using three different models of the Earth. The use of ellipsoidal model of the Earth could be the best method for determining the ac

Abstract:

Nyadran is an annual event in the village of Selopuro, Pitu District, Ngawi Regency, East Java. This event was held on every 10th Besar or 10 Dzulhijah which contained the salvation and performance of the krucil puppet. Activities in Nyadran and the performance of wayang krucil indicate the process of acculturation between authentic beliefs and Islamic spirituality. The acculturative process appears in the conscious prayer read out by the puppeteer and also in the puppet performance ritual. Prayers delivered at the slametan ritual and at the pre show influence the concept of pantheism, or the

Abstract:

Christian prayer is a central religious practice which has received scant attention in psychological research. The two major types of prayer are verbal and contemplative prayer. A review of the empirical studies of prayer suggests that the work done in this area can be divided into four categories: (a) developmental studies of conceptions of prayer; (b) research on motivations for praying; (c) studies of the effects of verbal prayer; and (d) studies of the effects of contemplative prayer. The studies on the development of the concept of prayer generally have found patterns consistent with Piag
