Recenzii
Heehs offers a clear, analytical, narrative history that demonstrates how certain elements of non-theistic (or not strictly theistic) thought and practice in the religious histories of India, China, and the Greco-Roman world eventually coalesced toproduce the burgeoning 'godless' spirituality of the modern West.
Peter Heehs's book and historical examination, Spirituality without God, comes at a timely moment inthe discourse on spiritual practice.
The book gives a map, through time and place, of the world's various theistic and nontheistic spiritualities . The 'spiritual but not religious' phenomenon is growing, and readers can learn more about it through this thoughtful and knowledgeable author, who for decades has been a resident of an intentional, spiritual community.
Spirituality Without God should be read by all professors at seminaries around the world. It is helpful for gaining insight and understanding in the rise of modern nontheistic religions and spiritualities. It would be an excellent book for use in Christian evangelism classes.
For those interested in spirituality and its practices, Peter Heehs' book is an interesting source ... Easy to access, very well documented.
Heehs is a clear and engaging writer. The book would thus fit easily and well in an undergraduate classroom.
Spirituality without God: A Global History of Thought and Practice traces the history of nontheistic spiritual thought and practice from the ancient world to our days. In this comprehensive, thought provoking work Peter Heehs traces a variety of spiritual approaches to life which were combined with disbelief in the supernatural. Peter Heehs shows in this impressive and well researched book that the search for spiritual wisdom unfettered by God(s), flourished for thousands of years, alongside religions based on worship of Divine beings.
Spirituality without God is an ambitious exploration of the rich history and pervasive influence of godless spirituality in many regions of the world, and the shifting meanings attached to the word spirituality. With its autobiographical reflections, Peter Heehs' engaging study is particularly timely in a period when many in Europe and North America, the 'none of the aboves', choose to identify themselves as spiritual rather than religious. For anyone wishing to understand how 'spiritual' has come to mean, according to Peter Heehs, virtually the opposite of 'religion', Spirituality without God will be a rewarding read.
A fascinating and creative non-Eurocentric approach to the history of religion that is relevant to understanding contemporary religious ideas and practices. This is a very interesting book with a broad audience by a fine historian with a creative and synthetic approach.
