Aiming to turn inside-out models currently used for the teaching of Hinduism, Nancy Falk's new LIVING HINDUISMS aims to introduce students to this religion through an illuminating presentation of its lived practices. Recognizing an all-too-frequent disconnect that students of Hinduism feel when confronted with the actual sights and sounds of contemporary Hindu rituals, Nancy Falk brings these experiences to life through an astute and eye-opening exploration of Hinduism's diverse, yet--as she argues--unified traditions.

Religions that center around a revelation--or a 'good book', which is seen as God's word--are widely regarded as irrational and dangerous, based on outdated science and conducive to illiberal, inhumane moral attitudes. Samuel Fleischacker offers a powerful defense of revealed religion, and reconciles it with science and liberal morality.

My Spirit Is Not Religious is divided into four parts: Part I: A Different Way to Feel God Part I explores the history of religious beliefs and stories and the ways they continue to be passed down through the generations, regardless of whether or not they make sense or have practical application for modern believers. Discussions include the issues, challenges, and negative impacts of such hand-me-down beliefs we have in today's world. Part II: To Come Out or Stay Inside the Spiritual Closet Part II Introduces the meaning of spiritual closet and explores the process of spiritual self-discovery. Readers are introduced to the concept of coming out of their closets and provided with guidelines and exercises to facilitate such a transformation. Part III: Tools for Moving Forward on Your Spiritual Journey and Eliminating Religious Guilt Part III offers practical guidance to help readers deal with the virtually inevitable guilt that accompanies leaving one's ancestral, familial, or cultural religious traditions. Readers will be comforted that they are not alone and will receive practical tools they can implement to better adjust to their newly adopted spiritual paths. Part IV: Staying on Spiritual Task...Spiritual Maintenance for a Spiritual Lifestyle Part IV deals with the challenges of growing and flourishing in one's newly chosen spiritual life. Discussions include advice for reaching out to spiritual guides, being patient with oneself, acknowledging the impermanence of this life, and living one's purpose.

Widely praised in hardcover as a fascinating and important addition to religious and cultural studies, Sacred Matters reveals the remarkable ways that religious practices permeate American cultural life.In a country where references to God are as normal as proclaiming love of country, support for the military, or security for the nation's children, religion scholar Gary Laderman casts his eye over our deeply hidden spiritual landscape, questioning whether our conventional views even begin to capture the rich and strange diversity of religious life in America. A compelling read, Sacred Matters shows that genuinely religious practices and experiences can be found in the unlikeliest of places-in science laboratories and movie theaters, at the Super Bowl and Star Trek conventions, and in Americans' obsession with prescription drugs and pornography. When devoted fans make a pilgrimage to Graceland because of their love for Elvis, Laderman argues, their behavior doesn't just seem religious, it is religious-enacting a well-known ritual pattern toward saints in the history of Christianity. In a dramatic reframing of what is holy and secular, Sacred Matters makes a powerful and illuminating case that religion is everywhere-and that we have barely begun to reckon with its hold on our cultural life.
