The Great Transformation: The Beginning of Our Religious Traditions book pdf download By Karen Armstrong

In the ninth century BCE, the peoples of four distinct regions of the civilized world created the religious and philosophical traditions that have continued to nourish humanity to the present day: Confucianism and Daoism in China, Hinduism and Buddhism in India, monotheism in Israel, and philosophical rationalism in Greece. Later generations further developed these initial insights, but we have never grown beyond them. Rabbinic Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, for example, were all secondary flowerings of the original Israelite vision. Now, in The Great Transformation, Karen Armstrong reveals how the sages of this pivotal “Axial Age” can speak clearly and helpfully to the violence and desperation that we experience in our own times. Armstrong traces the development of the Axial Age chronologically, examining the contributions of such figures as the Buddha, Socrates, Confucius, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, the mystics of the Upanishads, Mencius, and Euripides. All of the Axial Age faiths began in principled and visceral recoil from the unprecedented violence of their time. Despite some differences of emphasis, there was a remarkable consensus in their call for an abandonment of selfishness and a spirituality of compassion. With regard to dealing with fear, despair, hatred, rage, and violence, the Axial sages gave their people and give us, Armstrong says, two important pieces of advice: first there must be personal responsibility and self-criticism, and it must be followed by practical, effective action. In her introduction and concluding chapter, Armstrong urges us to consider how these spiritualities challenge the way we are religious today. In our various institutions, we sometimes seem to be attempting to create exactly the kind of religion that Axial sages and prophets had hoped to eliminate. We often equate faith with doctrinal conformity, but the traditions of the Axial Age were not about dogma. All insisted on the primacy of compassion even in the midst of suffering. In each Axial Age case, a disciplined revulsion from violence and hatred proved to be the major catalyst of spiritual change.

A History of God: The 4,000-Year Quest of Judaism, Christianity and Islam book pdf download By Karen Armstrong

Why does God exist? How have the three dominant monotheistic religions—Judaism, Christianity, and Islam—shaped and altered the conception of God? How have these religions influenced each other? In this stunningly intelligent book, Karen Armstrong, one of Britain’s foremost commentators on religious affairs, traces the history of how men and women have perceived and experienced God, from the time of Abraham to the present. The epic story begins with the Jews’ gradual transformation of pagan idol worship in Babylon into true monotheism—a concept previously unknown in the world. Christianity and Islam both rose on the foundation of this revolutionary idea, but these religions refashioned ‘the One God’ to suit the social and political needs of their followers. From classical philosophy and medieval mysticism to the Reformation, Karen Armstrong performs the near miracle of distilling the intellectual history of monotheism into one superbly readable volume, destined to take its place as a classic.

Los orígenes del fundamentalismo en el judaísmo, el cristianismo y el islam book pdf download By Karen Armstrong

El fundamentalismo es probablemente una de las manifestaciones religiosas más inquietantes de nuestro tiempo. Pero la oposición a los logros y valores de la modernidad, la interpretación literal de los dogmas de fe o el recurso a la violencia y a la intolerancia no son exclusivos de una sola religión o una sola época. Karen Armstrong, reconocida especialista en historia de la cultura y de las religiones, explora en este apasionante estudio las raíces y el desarrollo del fundamentalismo y los rasgos que adopta en el judaísmo, el cristianismo y el islam. Tras analizar las tensas relaciones entre los tres monoteísmos y el progreso, Armstrong muestra que el retorno a los «fundamentos originarios» que predican determinados sectores es una respuesta a los retos y angustias que nos imponen el racionalismo y la consideración de la ciencia como única vía para acceder a la verdad.

Em nome de Deus: o fundamentalismo no judaísmo, no cristianismo e no islamismo book pdf download By Karen Armstrong

Karen Armstrong, analisa os movimentos fundamentalistas que se desenvolveram nas três religiões monoteístas – judaísmo, cristianismo e islamismo. Seu ponto de partida é o ano de 1492, data em que ocorreram três fatos marcantes para cristãos, muçulmanos e judeus – a descoberta da América, a conquista de Granada e a expulsão dos judeus da Espanha. Depois de analisar as origens do extremismo religioso entre adeptos das três grandes crenças, Armstrong focaliza os judeus ultra-ortodoxos que se opuseram ao sionismo e que ainda hoje se opõem ao Estado de Israel; os protestantes americanos que em 1925 condenaram um professor por ensinar a teoria da evolução a seus alunos e mais recentemente se dedicam, entre outras coisas, a atacar clínicas de aborto; os sunitas radicais que, insurgindo-se contra o Estado secular no Egito, assassinaram seu presidente, em 1981; e os xiitas que derrubaram a monarquia Pahlevi e instituíram um Estado teocrático no Irã.

Historia de Jerusalén book pdf download By Karen Armstrong

Como si saliera de la pluma de Borges o de Calvino, Jerusalén guarda mucho de lo fantástico e imaginario en sus muros milenarios. Pero la ciudad adquiere sus propios contornos y significados a los ojos de cada una de las tres principales religiones de Occidente: el islam, el judaísmo y el cristianismo. Y es a través del prisma de esta geografía sagrada reflejada en el mundo secular que los eruditos intentan comprender su significado más profundo. En un libro que recorre desde los primeros vestigios de poblamiento en la región hasta nuestros días, Karen Armstrong narra toda la historia de ocupaciones e intolerancia, pero muchas veces también de convivencia pacífica que forjó el destino de la Ciudad Santa, y muestra cómo la El aura mítica que adquiere Jerusalén para judíos, cristianos y musulmanes desafía la búsqueda de una solución meramente racional a los conflictos que aún marcan la región.

The Lost Art of Scripture: Rescuing the Sacred Texts book pdf download By Karen Armstrong

In our increasingly secular world, holy texts are at best seen as irrelevant, and at worst as an excuse to incite violence, hatred and division. So what value, if any, can scripture hold for us today? And if our world no longer seems compatible with scripture, is it perhaps because its original purpose has become lost? Today we see the Quran being used by some to justify war and terrorism, the Torah to deny Palestinians the right to live in the Land of Israel, and the Bible to condemn homosexuality and contraception. The holy texts at the centre of all religious traditions are often employed selectively to underwrite arbitrary and subjective views. They are believed to be divinely ordained; they are claimed to contain eternal truths. But as Karen Armstrong, a world authority on religious affairs, shows in this fascinating journey through millennia of history, this narrow reading of scripture is a relatively recent phenomenon. For hundreds of years these texts were instead viewed as spiritual tools: scripture was a means for the individual to connect with the divine, to transcend their physical existence, and to experience a higher level of consciousness. Holy texts were seen as fluid and adaptable, rather than a set of binding archaic rules or a ‘truth’ that has to be ‘believed’. Armstrong argues that only by rediscovering an open engagement with their holy texts will the world’s religions be able to curtail arrogance, intolerance and violence. And if scripture is used to engage with the world in more meaningful and compassionate ways, we will find that it still has a great deal to teach us.

En nuestro mundo cada vez más secular, los textos sagrados se consideran, en el mejor de los casos, irrelevantes y, en el peor, una excusa para incitar a la violencia, el odio y la división. Entonces, ¿qué valor, si es que tiene alguno, puede tener la escritura para nosotros hoy? Y si nuestro mundo ya no parece compatible con las Escrituras, ¿es quizás porque su propósito original se ha perdido? Armstrong argumenta que, solo redescubriendo un compromiso abierto con sus textos sagrados, las religiones del mundo podrán reducir la arrogancia, la intolerancia y la violencia.

Interpreting Scriptures in Judaism, Christianity and Islam: Overlapping Inquiries book pdf download By Adele Berlin

This comparative study traces Jewish, Christian, and Muslim scriptural interpretation from antiquity to modernity, with special emphasis on the pivotal medieval period. It focuses on three areas: responses in the different faith traditions to tensions created by the need to transplant scriptures into new cultural and linguistic contexts; changing conceptions of the literal sense and its importance vis-a-vis non-literal senses, such as the figurative, spiritual, and midrashic; and ways in which classical rhetoric and poetics informed – or were resisted in – interpretation. Concentrating on points of intersection, the authors bring to light previously hidden aspects of methods and approaches in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. This volume opens new avenues for interdisciplinary analysis and will benefit scholars and students of biblical studies, religious studies, medieval studies, Islamic studies, Jewish studies, comparative religions, and theory of interpretation.
