Related Items Theology Peace | As the author views it, the desire for religious and spiritual
commitment remains strong in North American and European post-Christian
society, although now free to take many forms both inside and outside
the churches. Drawing on the anthropological work of Ernest Becker,
Liechty suggests that by understanding such desire as a result of our
human ability to anticipate our own death, we can see both why this
urge is unquenched by modernity and make sense of the myriad pathways
and channels of expression it has taken in our time. Rooted firmly in this anthropological theory of religion, Liechty then returns to examine some major teachings of the Anabaptist-Mennonite faith. He finds the foundation of Anabaptist spirituality in its historically- honed commitment to religious freedom, communal principles, and nonviolent ethics. He suggests that this spiritual foundation is particularly valuable in a post-Christian and religiously pluralistic society, representing one historically viable interpretation of the Christian religion that not only allows for but positively encourages adherents to live in an attitude of integrity, respect, and mutual acceptance with people of many different religious faith traditions. Although indebted to its first edition, published under the title Theology in Postliberal Perspective, this edition includes not only considerable updating of many chapters but also several new chapters. A notable feature is that this edition includes a chapter of extensive responses, both affirming and critical. copyright 2002. | |
