Hardback. Zustand: Good. Carl Olson offers a compelling and provocative argument against the application of postmodern thought to Religious Studies, showing how such radically skeptical thinking undermines, subverts, and distorts the study of religion. As Olson shows, Religious Studies is a newly and artificially constructed field for the scholarly study of religious narratives, thoughts, actions, and phenomena. It is an ongoing experiment with various types of methodological approaches to the study of religion, which is itself a human construct with limited cross-cultural application. Without a commonly agreed-upon method for the study of its subject, Religious Studies is characterized by the use of multiple methods, which tend to be adopted based on the latest trends in the field. Most recently, these trends have been dominated by postmodern thought. Because the discipline of Religious Studies is a product of the European Enlightenment with its values and representational mode of thinking, it is challenged and even threatened by postmodern thought, which calls into question many of its values, basic presuppositions, and convictions. After reviewing the many fads and fashions of Religious Studies, Olson examines various postmodern positions related to the study of religion, including those of Georges Bataille, Jacques Derrida, Marcel Mauss, Michel Foucault and Edward W. Said. Olson contrasts the thought of traditional history of religions scholars Mircea Eliade and Wendy Doniger with selected postmodern thinkers on the topics of hermeneutics, comparison, and difference. The Allure of Decadent Thinking concludes by exploring the postmodern challenges to such accepted concepts of religion and considers the long-term implications of a scholar's adoption of postmodern methods. Regardless of whether they are transformed by postmodern thought, Olson suggests, all methods and concepts should be subject to pragmatic review.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. Are you afraid to hope? Hope holds out the alluring promise of the good that is yet to come. But what happens when your longing is met with unrealized requests, disease, severed friendships, infertility, singleness, lost passion, wayward children, or the sheer repetition of life? Many women forego the promise of hope in order to avoid the pain that disappointment or loss often brings. Hope can be painful, yet we need it to continue. While refusing to dream may protect us from unmet expectations, it can also keep us from experiencing the beauty God is creating in our lives. Where do we find the courage to anticipate the future God has promised? We either respond to hope with our hearts, says Jan Meyers, or we try to push it down. Responding to hope brings a deepened sense of thirst and ache, but it reminds us what it truly means to be a woman. Meyers' refreshingly honest and compassionate look at both sides of hope will help you find the courage to keep seeking-even in those places where hope seems to have been destroyed. And while hope is never without risk, its transcending power can make you more fully alive.…

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. The revered Christian author whose bestselling classics include The Divine Conspiracy and The Spirit of the Disciplines provides a new model for how we can present the Christian faith to others. When Christians share their faith, they often appeal to reason, logic, and the truth of doctrine. But these tactics often are not effective. A better approach to spread Christ's word, Dallas Willard suggests, is to use the example of our own lives. To demonstrate Jesus's message, we must be transformed people living out a life reflective of Jesus himself, a life of love, humility, and gentleness. This beautiful model of life--this allure of gentleness--Willard argues, is the foundation for making the most compelling argument for Christianity, one that will convince others that there is something special about Christianity and the Jesus we follow. In his final work, Willard lays out a framework for this life-based witness: Answering Hard Questions: Move beyond intellectual debates to address the honest doubts about pain, evil, and God's nature that burden believers and seekers alike. Reason and Faith: Discover how to love God with your mind, using reason not as a weapon, but as a God-given tool to gently lead others toward truth. A New Model for Evangelism: Learn why a life transformed by love, humility, and gentleness is the most compelling and effective argument for the Christian faith. A Personal Relationship with God: Explore what it means to truly live and act with God, learning to hear His voice and interact with Him in the daily moments of your existence.…
