Circling the Elephant: A Comparative Theology of Religious Diversity (Comparative Theology: Thinking Across Traditions #8)
by John J. ThatamanilChristian theologians have for some decades affirmed that they have no monopoly on encounters with God or ultimate reality and that other religions also have access to religious truth and transformation. If that is the case, the time has come for Christians not only to learn about but also from their religious neighbors. Circling the Elephant affirms that the best way to be truly open to the mystery of the infinite is to move away from defensive postures of religious isolationism and self-sufficiency and to move, in vulnerability and openness, toward the mystery of the neighbor.Employing the ancient Indian allegory of the elephant and blind(folded) men, John J. Thatamanil argues for the integration of three often-separated theological projects: theologies of religious diversity (the work of accounting for why there are so many different understandings of the elephant), comparative theology (the venture of walking over to a different side of the elephant), and constructive theology (the endeavor of re-describing the elephant in light of the other two tasks).Circling the Elephant also offers an analysis of why we have fallen short in the past. Interreligious learning has been obstructed by problematic ideas about “religion” and “religions,” Thatamanil argues, while also pointing out the troubling resonances between reified notions of “religion” and “race.” He contests these notions and offers a new theory of the religious that makes interreligious learning both possible and desirable.Christians have much to learn from their religious neighbors, even about such central features of Christian theology as Christ and the Trinity. This book envisions religious diversity as a promise, not a problem, and proposes a new theology of religious diversity that opens the door to robust interreligious learning and Christian transformation through encountering the other.

El círculo mágico
by Ángeles LassoUn manual para las brujas de los nuevos tiempos. "Te invito a tomar mi mano para fundirte con el espacio. Se parte consciente de lo que te rodea y comienza el viaje mágico que te llevará a descubrir la vía oculta hasta el portal que todo quien elija ser mago algún día deberá atravesar." Ángeles Lasso La magia está presente desde siempre en nuestras vidas, sin embargo, no sabemos cómo definirla, explicarla ni menos concretarla, porque su energía es tan intangible y poderosa como el amor. Ha existido siempre, al inicio como una forma de comunicación con los dioses, luego fue el contacto con las fuerzas de la naturaleza, hasta que descubrimos que ese poder estaba dentro de nosotros mismos. Tras largos siglos de oscurantismo e ignorancia llegó la hora en que el "esoterismo" corrió sus velos, permitiendo el acceso a sus más profundos secretos. La magia puede ser usada en la vida cotidiana para modificar o mejorar nuestra existencia a voluntad. Quien realmente ha decidido desarrollar su natural capacidad mágica hallará en estas páginas ritos, hechizos, invocaciones y el uso de elementos cotidianos que nos rodean: talismanes, piedras, plantas, metales y colores. Números, astros y sueños. Todo lo que una bruja moderna puede aprender y que si usa para el bien, podrá enriquecer el espíritu.

Citizen Fetus: The Changing Image of Motherhood
by Alessandra PiontelliThis book discusses many aspects of fetuses and motherhood from fields as wide as sociology and medicine. It examines changing perceptions of the fetus over recent decades, comparing western ideas with those of non-western countries; examining maternal mental health during COVID-19 and charting the ascent of the 'fetus' to a cult phenomenon, which has currently reappeared in the courts. This work, given its multifaceted approach, will be of interest to a varied and wide range of people, from parents to doctors and nurses, to anthropologists and ethnologists, to scientists, to students of various disciplines, to psychologists and psychoanalysts, to lawyers dealing with the topic and to a general public simply interested in these fundamental themes.
The Citizen Patient
by Nortin M. HadlerConflicts of interest, misrepresentation of clinical trials, hospital price-fixing, and massive expenditures for procedures of dubious efficacy--these and other critical flaws leave little doubt that the current U.S. health-care system is in need of an overhaul. In this essential guide, preeminent physician Nortin Hadler urges American health-care consumers to take time to understand the existing system and to visualize what the outcome of successful reform might look like. Central to this vision is a shared understanding of the primacy of the relationship between doctor and patient. Hadler shows us that a new approach is necessary if we hope to improve the health of the populace. Rational health care, he argues, is far less expensive than the irrationality of the status quo.Taking a critical view of how medical treatment, health-care finance, and attitudes about health, medicine, and disease play out in broad social and political settings, Hadler applies his wealth of experience and insight to these pressing issues, answering important questions for Citizen Patients and policy makers alike.
