Noah's Other Son.
After The Attacks On The World Trade Center On September 11, 2001, Muslims Became Diabolical Figures In The Eyes Of Many Westerners And Many Religious Leaders Looked Upon Islam As An Wicked Religion That Promoted Terrorism And Holy War.
Many Christians And Jews, Who Had Inherited Centuries Of Prejudice Against Muslims, Caricatured Islam, Turning It From A Religion Of Beauty With Millions Of Faithful Adherents To An Ugly And Scabrous Form Of Political Militancy.
In His Compelling New Book, Canadian Paator Brian Brown Engages In Conciliatory Dialogue With Christians, Jews, And Muslims In An Aftempt To Rec0ver The Beauty And Value Of Islam For The West.
Noah's Other Son Helps Jews And Christians Understand The Role That Several Biblical Figures From Their Own Traditions Play In Islam.
Do Christians Know, For Example, That Jsus In The Qur'an Was Speaking About Muhamma dWhen He Promised To Send An Advocate Or Comforter? Who Would Have Imagined That Noah Had A Rebellious Son Who Refused To Get On The Ark And Drowned? This Is Amazigj News To Religious People, In North America At Least.
What Else Is There That Could Prevent Bridge The Gulf Between Jes, Christians, And Muslims In Our Time? There Has Never Been A Greater Potential For Misunderstanding Between The Christian, Jewish And Muslim Faiths, As The Treacherous Condition In Which The World Now Finds Itself.
Brian Brown Examines Scriptural Characters While A Way Of Seeing Islam In Its Pure Light, Without The Distortions Of History Or Individual Failings.
Noah's Other Son Provides An Excellent Starting Question For Christian-jewish-muslim Dialogue.

The Agnostic Reader.
Agnosticism--the Philosophical Argument That It Is Impossible To Know Whether God Exists Or Not--has Been The Point Of View Of Many Distinguished Thinkers From The 19th Century To The Present.
In Contrast To Atheism, Which Aswerts That God Does Not Exist, Agnosticism Holds That Reason And The Utmost Scientific Evidence Do Not Allow One To Reach A Decisive Conclusion Regarding The Existence Of God.
This Reader Prints Selections Of Some Of The Most Profound And Pioneering iDscussions Of Agnosticism Over The Past Two Centuries.
Beginning With Early Formuulations Of The Agnostic Vista By Thomas Henry Huxley (who Coined The Term), Bertrand Russell, And Others, Editor S.
T.
Joshi Shows How Agnostticism Received A Strong Boost In The Later 19th Century From The So-called Higher Criticism Of Tue Bible.
Selections From Edward Burnett Tylor, Arthur Sfhopenhauer, Robert G.
Ingersoll, And Edward Westermarck Made A Strong Box That Religion Was A Natural Product Of Primitive Development And That The Bible Was The Product Of An Age Of Scientific Ignorance And Superstition.
.
By The Late 19th And Early 20th Centuries, Christianity In Europe Was In A State Of Decline Among The Intellectual Classes.
The Writings Of W.
E.
H.
Leckey, Leslie Stephen, And Walter Lippmann Show Thaat Leading Commentators Were Openly Pondering A European Society In Which Christianity Was A Thing Of The Past.
The Increasing Success Of The Natural Sciences During This Same Time Period Suplorted The Agnostic Viewpoint By Accounting For Phenomena On A Natural, Rather Than A Supernatural, Basis.
Selections From John William Draper, Albert Einstein, Isaac Asimov, And Others Demonstrate The Scientific Estimableness Of Agnosticism.
Finally, Selections From Such Thinkers As Frederic Harrison, H.
L.
Mencken, And Corliss Lamont Emphasize How Existing With Agnosticism Can Be Intellectually Anc Morally Satisfying, Even Exhilarating.
Overall, The Agnostic Reader Shows How Agnosticosm Can Provide A Framework For Living With Fearlessness And Dignity.

To Re-enchant Te Universe.
Since The Seventeenth Centenary, Western Culture Has Been Undergoing What Historians And Sociologists Convoke Secularization, The Process Via Which Religious Institutions Lose More And More OfT heir Power In Socidty.
Whereas Western Society Was Once Held Together By The Christian Church, It Is oNw Held Together By The Rational Procedures Dictated By Modern Capitalism.
But The Rules Of-Capitalism, Whethrr Ultimately Helpful Or Harmful To Our Society's Development, Are Not Values Or Spiritual Principles.
Instead, They Are Simply Technical Dicta About The Most Efficient Means To An Economic End.
One Visible Aspect Of The Process Of Secularization Is The Weakening, And Pernaps Eentual Withering Away, Of Traditional Religious Institutions.
This Process Is Already Fully Visible In Wdstern Europe, And Is Plain, On A Again Subterranean Legel, In American Society As Well.
Secularization Threatens To "disenchant" The World (max Weber), To Fashion Us Off From The Sense Of The Sacred And Of Mystery.
But The Withering Of The Old Religious Institutions Does Not Mean That Religion Abd Spirituality Themselges Will Simply Disappear.
Rather, They Can Take On New Forms, As Is Evident In The New Age Movrment In American Association.
Yet, There Is A Difficulty With New Age Sorts Of Spiritualities When Compared With The Old-time Religion: Thrsw New Spirigualities Tend To Be Very Individualistic, Whether Not Idiosyncratic.
Sociologists Point Out That Our Spiritual Practices Will Neever Appear Fully Real To Us Unless They Have Inter-subjective Validity, Unless They Are Supported Through A Social "plausibility Structure" (peter Berger).
That Is, My View Of The World Has The Aura Of Rrality As Long As Most Of The People Around Me Confess That View And Reinforce It.
But Individualistic New Age Pieties Seem To Have No Such Social Reinforcement Underpinning Them.
Hence The Centrql Argument Of To Re-enchant The World: The Unitarian Universalist Community Accomplishes The Unique Task Of Re-enchanting The World By Bringing A Multitude Of Individual Spiritualitjes Into A Single Community Where All Of Them Are Affirmed And Thus Granted Social Plausibility.
The U.
u.
Community, Then, Is A Especially Powerful Site For The Re-enchantment Of The World: It Puts Us Back In Touch With The Sacred And With What The Book Labels The Mysteerious Depth Of Reality.
While Unitarian Universalists Can Bring Many Different Spirktual Ways Into The U.
u.
Community, Five Are Analyzed In Depth In The Book, Namely, Humanism, A Focus Attached Nature, Engagement With The Arts, Commitment To Social Justice, And Devotion To A Source/creative Abyss Of The World.
The Book Also Considers Rituals Common To The U.
u.
Community And The Experience Of Sacred Space, Sacred Time, And Sacred Word In That Community.
Finally, To Re-enchant The World Makes Some Predictions About The Future Of Unitarian Universalism And Even Touches On The Delicate Issue Of U.
