Waarom geloven sommige mensen in een god en andere niet? Dit is de hoofdvraag van het 'Elementaire Deeltje' God. John Bowker onderzoekt de verscheidenheid van verschillende religieuze interpretaties en kijkt naar de evolutie van het begrip 'god'. Wie of wat is God? En hoe leggen verschillende religies het bestaan van God of goden uit? In elk deel van de reeks Elementaire Deeltjes wordt een thema op een eenvoudige, beknopte manier toegelicht door een expert terzake. John Bowker is een Engels Anglicaans priester en professor in de godsdienstwetenschap en schreef reeds vele boeken over religie.

Nagenoeg ongewijzigde herdruk (eerste druk 1975, Gooi en Sticht). Nagenoeg: voor de titel op omslag en titelblad en die van de hoofdstukken is een ander - moderner - lettertype gekozen. De tekst is ongewijzigd, echter wel opnieuw gezet, want niet precies eender verdeeld over de bladspiegel. Ook de afbeeldingen zijn dezelfde, zij het met minder heldere kleuren dan de eerste druk. Ondanks dat: een erg mooi en bruikbaar boek, met een beschrijving van alle joodse gedenk- en feestdagen van het hele jaar. Als eerste kennismaking voor niet zo heel jonge kinderen (wat de kleurige omslag en illustraties wel doen vermoeden): de uitstekende tekst is o.a. door alle historische gegevens niet erg eenvoudig. De illustraties - onderling zeer verschillend - zijn zeer instruktief. Bij ieder feest worden in een apart kadertje de bijbehorende symbolen en voorwerpen afgedrukt. De Hebreeuwse en zelfs eventueel de jiddische namen worden verklaard. Achterin een testje of alles goed gelezen en bekeken is. Vanaf ca. 10 jaar. (Biblion recensie, M.G. van Mourik.)

This book discusses mysticism and its possible contributions to a positive common human future. It is organized into three parts - “Studies of Mystical Traditions,” “Comparative Studies of Mystical Traditions,” and “Social and Ethical Implications." The approach is philosophical and critical. The contributors differ on whether or not mystical traditions would restore peaceful living and peaceful coexistence. However, the problem before this manuscript is the growing pain and suffering caused by greed in the world, greed causing economic disequilibrium, racism and divisiveness causing social unrest resulting in mass migration and refugees’ crisis. Through the lens of “mystical traditions," the manuscript proposes a balance approach between material and spiritual needs of people. To strengthen human spiritualty, the manuscript emphasizes practicing meditation, music, prayers, zikr, yoga, mindfulness, fasting and other methods of spiritual revival for peace within self and with others. .

This book examines Religious Education (RE) in over ten countries, including Australia, Indonesia, Mali, Russia, UK, Ireland, USA, and Canada. Investigating RE from a global and multi-interdisciplinary perspective, it presents research on the diverse past, present, and possible future forms of RE. In doing so, it enhances public and professional understanding of the complex issues and debates surrounding RE in the wider world. The volume emphasizes a student-centred approach, viewing any kind of ‘RE’, or its absence, as a formative lived experience for pupils. It stresses a bottom-up, sociological and ethnographic/anthropological research-based approach to the study of RE, rather than the ‘top down’ approaches which often start from prescriptive legal, ideological or religious standpoints. The twelve chapters in this volume regard RE as an entity that has multiple and contested meanings and interpretations that are constantly negotiated. For some, ‘RE’ means religious nurturing, either tailored to parental views or meant to inculcate a uniform religiosity. For others, RE means learning about the many religious and non-religious world-views and secular ethics that exist, not promoting one religion or another. Some seek to avoid the ambiguous term ‘religious education’, replacing it with terms such as ‘education about religions and beliefs’ or ‘the religious dimension of intercultural education’.

This book answers the question on how students and teachers talk about religion when the mandatory and nonconfessional schoolsubject of Religious Education is on the schedule in the “world’s most secular country” To do this, it analyses discourses of religion as they occur in the classroom practice. It is based on findings from participant observation of Religious Education lessons in several upper secondary schools in Sweden. The book discusses different aspects of the role and function of nonconfessional integrative Religious Education in an increasingly pluralistic, multireligious, yet also secularized society, at a general level. It looks at the religious landscape, different perspectives on school subjects, various models and the development of Religious Education, and discourses of religion of a secularist, spiritual and nationalistic nature. Religious Education is a school subject that manoeuvres in the midst of a field that on the one hand concerns crucial knowledge in a pluralistic society, and on the other hand deals with highly contested questions in a society characterized by diversity and secularity. In the mandatory, integrative and non-confessional school subject of Religious Education in Sweden, all students are taught together regardless of religious or secular affiliation. The subject deals with major world religions, important non-religious worldviews and ethics, from a non-confessional perspective. Thus, in the classroom, individuals who identify with diverse religious and non-religious worldviews, with a different understanding of what religion could be and what it might mean to be religious, are brought together. The book examines questions raised in this pluralistic context: What discourses of religion become hegemonic in the classroom? How do these discourses affect the possibility of reaching the aim of Religious Education which concerns understanding and respect for different ways of thinking and living in a society characterized by diversity?
