Experiences
of Religious Tradition in America.
[ send
me this paper ]
(10 pp) According to Anna-Liza Kosma (2001),
"spirituality is like jello. It comes in every
imaginable flavor, it's almost impossible to pin down, and
your definitions will only last until it morphs into
another shape." On the other hand, "sociologist
Wade Clark Roof (2000), teaching at the University of
California, does come up with two categories for the
slippery world of contemporary spirituality: seekers who
pursue meaning by sampling a smorgasbord of dishes, and
dwellers who feast from a singular table." In this
discussion we will be looking at those who "feast
from a singular table," and if anything have chosen
to "host" that table as well. Included in this
discussion will be the first hand accounts as provided in
The Chosen by Chaim Potok, Black Elk Speaks by John G
Neihardt, and Mama Lola by Karen McCarthy Brown.

Feminism
and Judaism
[ send

that acknowledge and accommodate a feminist based

feminist reinterpretation of traditional texts combined
with exploration of historic women's religious practices
has created a new Jewish spirituality for women with new
rituals and beliefs. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Harry
Blamires' "The Christian Mind : How Should A
Christian Think"
[ send
me this paper ]
5 pages in length. According to Harry Blamires, author of
The Christian Mind : How Should A Christian Think, the
global resurgence of religion that occurred throughout the
past few decades served as a platform for fundamentalist
interpretation with regard to religious scriptures. It is
the author's contention that this reawakening has been
instrumental in a significant distortion of traditional
religious interpretation. As religion has become
globalized over the past three decades, it has taken on a
decidedly different façade: that of what is contrary to
all it has represented in the past. No additional sources
cited.

Secular
Nationalism Versus Religiously Based States In The Middle
East
[ send
me this paper ]
10 pages in length. Secular nationalism and religiously
based states have long held opposition for each other's
beliefs. When imagining a community in the Middle East and
other areas, such as Diasporas, organizing a state and
providing it with a moral basis for legitimacy would have
to abide by the needs of both sectors, inasmuch as there
cannot be social, political or economic adaptation to the
exclusion of either one. Clearly, the impact upon local
communities from modern governments and the global economy
has been such that the eruption of individuality has been
noted in abundance. How do these two frameworks, as well
as the persistence of tribalism/ethnicity and the politics
of sociability help one to understand contemporary
communities, such as Palestinians, Syrian Jews, and
Egyptian villagers. When one considers the vastness of
global culture as it relates to social politics, it
becomes clear that the progression of secularism has
unleashed an entirely divergent appropriation of perceived
personal rights. Bibliography lists 10 sources.

The
Blessing Of Holy Water: Magical Or Religious?
[ send
me this paper ]
5 pages in length. The Roman Catholic Church has been
called hypocritical when it comes to the act of rituals,
in that the Church has brought forth strong condemnation
against ethnic religions that practice similar rituals.
That these other rituals are labeled as being absorbed in
magic or witchcraft leads the Church to believe that its
own rituals are unique and worthy of God's attention.
Particularly evident are the ways in which myriad
blessings of holy water cannot be distinguished as being
the rituals of the Church or, for example, Pagans.

The
Gnostics.
[ send
me this paper ]
(7 pp) Knowledge has always fascinated Man, his curious
nature prods him to seek it, often only to find out that
he lacks the virtue to use it. In a very true sense
knowledge is in fact power; this seems to be an
unalterable constant whether in the ancient world or
today. What we are about to investigate in this article is
the "Gnostic" religion. Their appeal is a simple
one. In a turbulent and unpredictable ancient world, at a
time when Man felt that he was but a puppet in the hands
of fortune, the Gnostics proclaimed aloud: "Come to
us and we will enlighten you with Knowledge that will give
you the power to be in charge of your destiny!"
