Religion and Culture in Dialogue: East and West Perspectives: Sophia Studies in Cross-cultural Philosophy of Traditions and Cultures, cartea 15

Editat de Janis Talivaldis Ozolinš
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 21 apr 2016
This volume addresses the issue of the human encounter with the Mystery of God and the purpose of human life. It explores major themes from diverse cultural and philosophical traditions, starting with questions about the possibility of belief in God, His transcendence as seen in both East and West, and ending with questions about ethics and about personhood, human dignity and human rights. Taking an eclectic approach, the chapters in this book each uniquely address aspects of the human encounter with the Mystery of God, drawing from specific cultures and traditions, and using a particular philosophical and theological style. Together, the chapters provide a fresh approach and a synergy that ensures that each topic contributes something new to the dialogue between religion and culture.
