The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins

$16.00 NZD

Category: Religion | Reading Level: very good

Richard Dawkins was recently voted one of the world's top three intellectuals (alongside Umberto Eco and Noam Chomsky) by "Prospect" magazine. As the author of many, now famous, classic works on science and philosophy, he has always asserted the irrationality of belief in God and the grievous harm it ha s inflicted on society. He now turns his fierce intellect exclusively on this subject, denouncing its faulty logic and the suffering it causes. While Europe is becoming increasingly secularized, the rise of religious fundamentalism, whether in the Middle East or Middle America, is dramatically and dangerously dividing opinion around the world. In America, and elsewhere, a vigorous dispute between 'intelligent design' and Darwinism is seriously undermining and restricting the teaching of science. In many countries religious dogma from medieval times still serves to abuse basic human rights such as women's and gay rights. And all from a belief in a God whose existence lacks evidence of any kind. First published October 2006. ...Show more

Beyond Contempt - Removing Anti-Jewishness from Christian Worship by Tony Stroobant

Category: Religion | Reading Level: near fine

Beyond Contempt Removing Anti Jewishness from Christian Worship asks why, despite much progress in Jewish-Christian relations over recent decades, there is still Christian anti-Jewishness in the everyday life of the Church.

Tony Stroobant is currently Christian Co-President of the NZ Council of Christians and Jews, and a Methodist Minister in Auckland. ...Show more

A Time to Keep Silence by Patrick Leigh Fermor

$10.00 NZD

Category: Religion | Reading Level: very good

While still a teenager, Patrick Leigh Fermor made his way across Europe, as recounted in his classic memoirs, "A Time of Gifts" and "Between the Woods and the Water." During World War II, he fought with local partisans against the Nazi occupiers of Crete. But in "A Time to Keep Silence," Leigh Fermor wr ites about a more inward journey, describing his several sojourns in some of Europe's oldest and most venerable monasteries. He stays at the Abbey of St. Wandrille, a great repository of art and learning; at Solesmes, famous for its revival of Gregorian chant; and at the deeply ascetic Trappist monastery of La Grande Trappe, where monks take a vow of silence. Finally, he visits the rock monasteries of Cappadocia, hewn from the stony spires of a moonlike landscape, where he seeks some trace of the life of the earliest Christian anchorites. More than a history or travel journal, however, this beautiful short book is a meditation on the meaning of silence and solitude for modern life. Leigh Fermor writes, "In the seclusion of a cell--an existence whose quietness is only varied by the silent meals, the solemnity of ritual, and long solitary walks in the woods--the troubled waters of the mind grow still and clear, and much that is hidden away and all that clouds it floats to the surface and can be skimmed away; and after a time one reaches a state of peace that is unthought of in the ordinary world." ...Show more

The Great Partnership: God, Science and the Search for Meaning by Jonathan Sacks

$12.00 NZD

Category: Religion | Reading Level: very good

Writing with his usual grace and fluency, Jonathan Sacks moves beyond the tired arguments of militant atheists such as Dawkins and Hitchens, to explore how religion has always played a valuable part in human culture and far from being dismissed as redundant, must be allowed to temper and develop scienti fic understanding in order for us to be fully human. Ranging around the world to draw comparisons from different cultures, and delving deep into the history of language and of western civilisation, Jonathan Sacks shows how the predominance of science-oriented thinking is embedded deeply even in our religious understanding, and calls on us to recognise the centrality of relationship to true religion, and thus to see how this core value of relationship is essential if we are to avoid the natural tendency for science to rule our lives rather than fulfilling its promise to set us free. ...Show more

A History of Judaism by Martin Goodman

$15.00 NZD

Category: History | Reading Level: near fine

Judaism is by some distance the oldest of the three Abrahamic religions and, despite the extraordinarily varied forms it has taken and diverse beliefs it has contained over three millennia, it has been generally understood by both Jews and gentiles as a single entity. There have been many histories of t he Jewish people but remarkably few attempts to relate the history and evolution of Judaism itself. In this book, the first comprehensive, single-volume work of its kind in English, Martin Goodman explains how Judaism came to be and how it has developed from one period to another, as well as the ways in which its varieties have related to each other. ...Show more
