This book provides readers with the tools and resources for exploring the many dimensions of religion as a central reality of human life. It provides a functional definition of religion that suggests that religion is important to everyone because each person's life is shaped by, and all persons are concerned about, occasions in their lives that threaten or promote fulfillment of the individual's basic values and commitments. Chapter coverage includes the six major world religions as they relate to: traditions, artistic expression, ways of conceiving the divine, the problem of evil, understanding the self, sin and guilt, death and the self, salvation and redemption, interpersonal relations, corporate expressions of ethical concerns, social stability and social change, human response to the natural process, and order and origins. For anyone interested in the formal study of religion.

History

World

Many governments around the world still do not allow the gospel of Jesus Christ to be preached freely. Even in open countries, many people groups still strongly resist outside influences and hold tenaciously to their traditions. Is there a way to reach across these barriers with the light of truth and a heart of love? Yes. In this fast-paced book, you will get a whirlwind tour of the world that remains virtually untouched by Christianity. In addition, the author offers creative stragies for penetrating those parts of the world that have been most resistant. It is exciting. It is practical. And it is a grand venture that you can be part of.

Scattered and Gathered: A Global Compendium of Diaspora Missiology

Product Description The twenty-first century is marked by mass migration. Massive population movements of the last century have radically challenged our study and practice of mission. Where the church once rallied to go out into "the regions beyond," Christian mission is currently required to respond and adapt to "missions around." As a result, leaders in this field have been developing diaspora missiology to provide a missiological framework for understanding and participating in God's redemptive mission among peoples living outside their places of origin. In this volume, experts in diaspora missiology from across the globe analyze the development of missions to migrants and add to our understanding of the contemporary church's opportunities and responsibilities for mission amongst diaspora groups. Review This volume puts out a clarion call to the global church about a critically important mission need and strategy. You truly cannot understand the full picture of global mission without understanding diaspora missiology.--Michael Oh, PhD Global Executive Director/CEO, Lausanne MovementI warmly welcome and highly recommend this comprehensive study on a globally relevant topic. This timely volume is a missio Dei viatorum at its best, focused on diaspora from a full-fledged biblical perspective while taking into account the migrant phenomena in their global diversity.--Peter Kuzmic, PhD, Dr. Theol. Distinguished Professor of World Mission and European Studies, Gordon-Conwell Theological SeminaryThis collection of essays presents diaspora realities as a prominent scenario for the missio Dei in our days. The exploration of the present-day global diaspora experience with the missiological opportunities and challenges it poses for the church, is informative, challenging and encouraging.--Elizabeth Sendek President, Fundacion Universitaria Seminario Bîblico de Colombia, Medellín, ColombiaThis compendium couldn't come at a more compelling time in history, when peoples are being scattered in unprecedented numbers. This is a much needed and timely pioneer work, assembling a multitude of authoritative voices, which is academically rigorous, but brought alive by practical field case studies. --Cindy Perry South Asia Regional Director, Development Associates InternationalThis compendium comprises a kaleidoscope of rich biblical and theological insights. Where else in one volume can one find such a breadth of global voices speaking to the critical challenges and opportunities of ministry to, through and beyond the diasporas?--David Bennett, PhD Global Associate Director for Collaboration and Content, Lausanne Movement

The enormity of the global AIDS pandemic threatens to overwhelm us. More than 3 million people died of AIDS last year—about 8,000 per day—and another 5 million were infected with the pernicious HIV virus. And the numbers are growing. So what role do we, the Church play in this growing crisis? The church must continue to give hope to the hopeless—those languishing alone. We must use the HIV/AIDS crisis to demonstrate the love of Christ by caring for AIDS sufferers, their family members, and their communities by whatever means available. To this end, in November 2003, over 3000 participants gathered to address the issues of the church and the HIV/AIDS crisis. The Hope Factor captures the findings of some of the world's top minds and hearts dealing with the issue of AIDS. -- It shows how we in the Western church can come alongside and help people impacted by AIDS. Academicians, pastors, AIDS patients, and physicians from around the world share hard-won insights that will help you and your church or organization make a difference in practical ways.
