Abstract:

This article uses an esoteric approach in explaining the intersection of religions in the Yudaeo tradition. There is a misunderstanding of religion because it is seen from an exoteric approach. As a result, people tend to judge that this religion is right and another is wrong. Whereas Abraham is known as the father of monotheistic religions, namely Judaism, Christianity and Islam. The vision of the Judaeo-Christian-Islamic tradition is an indicator of the three religions as monotheistic religions whose teachings are inseparable and cannot be polarized between one another. However, for certain

Abstract:

Christianity appealed to writers of African descent from the moment they set foot on New World soil. That attraction, perhaps as a result of the professed mission of slaveholders to “Christianize the heathen African,” held sway in African American letters well into the twentieth century. While African American male writers joined their female counterparts in expressing an attraction to Christianity, black women writers, beginning in the mid-twentieth century, consistently began to express doubts about the assumed altruistic nature of a religion that had been used as justification for enslaving

Abstract:

Talking about God has always been a topic of conversation among theologians. Karen Armstrong as a theologian tries to explain the existence of God. Her book entitled The History of God, Karen Armstrong describes in detail the existence of God in the history of human life. The book tells about Karen Armstrong's hesitation in finding the essence of the Trinity in the concept of Christian divinity. Karen Armstrong went through several phases in her skepticism to reach the essence of God in her faith. This paper will discuss Karen Armstrong's view of the Concept of God in Christian Religion using

Abstract:

Many people assume that there has been ceaseless conflict between science and Christianity. I argue that the real conflict has been between scientism and religion. Scientism is the view that only the sciences generate knowledge or rational belief. Scientism, as typically articulated, entails the opinion that reliable belief about divinity (theological realism) is impossible. I debunk four historic science–Christianity conflict myths and show how they have promoted scientism. These four science–religion myths function as part of a larger warfare narrative about science and Christianity. This mi

Abstract:

The creation of the concept of the martyr by ancient Christianity was undoubtedly one of the reasons why this young religion could endure through times of persecution and also attract new believers. But what exactly made this concept so effective? Among the many mutually non-exclusive answers, one more may be provided: the person of the martyr simultaneously fulfilled, on a previously unknown level of intensity and scale, two soteriological ideals of the ancient world, i.e., that of the dying philosopher whose attitude toward death showed that death had no power over him and that of the myst

ENGELSK SUMMARY: The sculptures on the altarpiece of Aarhus Cathedral are a good example of 'analogism', an understanding of reality (an 'ontology') that presents an ideal reality as a harmonious order. The altarpiece sought to mediate between two in principle different types of religions: archaic religion, typical of the great cultures of ancient times, claiming a divinely guaranteed good and beautiful hierarchical world, and the axial rejection of the known reality as evil, false and full of suffering. This attempt of mediation is what defines Christianity and other great religions after the

Studies of unbelief in the United States have almost entirely ignored the South as well as the ways that freethinkers engaged with race, thereby leaving out men like Garner.

Michael Gillespie's Theological Origins of Modernity provides a historically grounded and philosophically ambitious, at times even provocative, account of the deep unity of the modern tradition. The book is more historical than most works of political theory, and exhibits a healthy freedom from received wisdom about who the important thinkers are and about what they might have to say. Yet it would be quite wrong to read this book as a simple history: it is also—perhaps even primarily—a philosophical diagnosis of the present.

Augustine’s doctrine of Jewish witness maintains that, although Christianity has superseded Judaism as the one true religion, it is God’s will that the Jews continue to exist because they preserve and authenticate the Old Testament, divinely-inspired texts which foretold the coming of Jesus.

Current scholarly consensus holds that Augustine adhered consistently to this doctrine from its first iteration in Contra Faustum in 3
