Fort Worth : Routledge-Cavendish, 1997 x, 428p. : : illus. ; 24 cm. Glossary p. 359 - 368 Indeks : p.415 - 428 p.399 - 413 This book contains new material on the impact of religion on politics and war, apocalyptic religions, spiritual support groups, and the future of religion. It features a new section on the religious development of young children, and it contains more definitive coverage of the emergence of the concept of the Devil in Western religions. It is to examine religion in its phenomenistic dimensions: a phenomenon involved in the lives of all people. It is divided into four parts and is flexible enough for instructors to concentrate time and attention on one part or another of them. Part I presents: a functional, working definition of religion; an examination of the religious nature of human beings; a view of religion in primitive origins; religion as a sociogenetic, psychogenetic, and theogenetic phenomenon. Part II presents: the concept of God - The God-Word that emerged in ancient Iran, Palestine, India, China; the Satan idea in Western religious traditions; theoricies in Western religious traditions. Part III presents the techniques of religion - revelation, scripture, theology, myth, ritual, and morality. Part IV presents religion as a special experience - as an exoteric experience in the dimensions of sensuousness, sexuality, love, and Agape and as an esoteric experience in the dimensions of knowing, possession, worship, and mysticism.
