Invisible Lines Of Connection: Sacred Stories Of The Ordinary, Lawrence Kushner

Richard L. Horwitz Lecture on Ethics

Lawrence Kushner has served as Rabbi of Congregational Beth El in Sudbury, Massachusetts, a suburb of Boston, for the past 27 years and is widely regarded as one of the most creative religious writers in America. Through his lectures, articles and ten books, he has helped shape the present agenda for personal and institutional spiritual renewal.

Reflections On Science And Technology, Ursula Goodenough

Biology Faculty Research

Science and technology are frequently confused. This essay points out the bases for this confusion and then focuses on a basic distinction, namely, that whereas science brings us information that we have little choice but to absorb and reflect upon, technology is something that humans elect to do and, hence, can also elect not to do. It is proposed that technological ethics are most cogently undertaken with scientific understanding as the linchpin and religious/artistic sensibilities as the muse.

The Problem Of Religion, Violence, And Peace: An Uneasy Trilogy, David L. Coppola

SHU Faculty Publications

Drawing primarily on Jewish, Christian, and Islamic texts, as well as on philosophical and sociological concepts, I will examine religion and its relationship to violence from three distinct, but related perspectives; namely, that 1) religion is directly linked with violence; 2) religion functions as one among many factors that influence violence; and 3) religions are unwilling participants in the practice of violence. This essay begins by setting a context for the study of religion, violence, and peace, followed by a presentation of the three perspectives mentioned above, concluding with possibilities for the study and practice of future peace-making.

Syeikh Muhammad Al-Ghazali : Pemikirannya Dalam Buku Kayfa Nata'amal Ma'a Al-Qur'an, Mohd. Rumaizuddin Ghazali

Student Works (2000-2009)

This dissertation is about Muhammad al-Ghazali's (1917-1996) thoughts in his book Kayfa Nata'amal Ma'a al-Qur'an. This book tells about the ways how to interact with al-Qur'an correctly, the causes of ummah's backwardness and the ways how to overcome the thought crisis of the ummah today. The writer was attracted by al-Ghazali's thought stating that al-Qur'an is the most important factor in building the Islamic community nowadays. Although al-Qur'an was revealed since 14 centuries ago, but its contents are still relevant and very practical. This means that al-Qur'an is always relevant from time to time according to the interaction of ummah …

The Passover Of Christ: 'Do [You] This In Remembrance Of Me.' A Systematic Description Of Orthodox, Roman Catholic, Anabaptist, And Lutheran Theology And Ethics, Oscar Carvajal Romero

Theses and Dissertations (Comprehensive)

As a way of abstract, this paper presents a study of the last meal performed by Jesus with his disciples before his death and its commandment.

Eros And Transgression In An Age Of Immanence: Georges Bataille’S (Religious) Critique Of Kinsey, James Mark Shields

Faculty Journal Articles

This paper explores the religious implications of eroticism in Western culture since the Sexual Revolution, a period at once applauded for its open and immanent view of sexuality and denounced for its shamelessness and promiscuity. After discussing the work and effects of Alfred C. Kinsey, the father of the Sexual Revolution, I focus on a critical appraisal of Kinsey written by French theorist Georges Bataille (“Kinsey, the Underworld and Work,” in L’Erotisme, 1957). Bataille situates contemporary Western sexuality within a larger historical movement towards the “desacralization” of all aspects of human life: sex, under the scientific gaze of the Kinsey …
