Christianity and Natural Law: An Introduction. Historically, natural law has played a pivotal role in Christian approaches to the law, and Historically, natural law has played a pivotal role in Christian approaches to the law, and a contested role in legal philosophy generally. However, comparative study of natural law across global Christian traditions is largely neglected.
This book provides not only View Product. Through dialogue, three philosophers named Demea, Philo, and Cleanthes debate the nature of God's existence. Whether or not these names reference specific philosophers, ancient or otherwise, Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion. From World to God? About the Contributor s :Richard Sturch is a former rector of Islip, Oxfordshire, England, and a former senior lecturer in religion and philosophy at the University of Nigeria and at the London School of Theology.
Scholars are still trying to tease out the complex factors that drive an individual or a nation toward atheism, but there are a few commonalities. So not surprisingly, nations that report the highest rates of atheism tend to be those that provide their citizens with relatively high economic, political and existential stability. Capitalism, access to technology and education also seems to correlate with a corrosion of religiosity in some populations, he adds.
Japan, the UK, Canada, South Korea, the Netherlands, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Germany, France and Uruguay where the majority of citizens have European roots are all places where religion was important just a century or so ago, but that now report some of the lowest belief rates in the world.
These countries feature strong educational and social security systems, low inequality and are all relatively wealthy. Yemeni girls show their hands decorated with traditional henna designs as they celebrate the end of Ramadan Getty Images. Yet decline in belief seems to be occurring across the board, including in places that are still strongly religious, such as Brazil, Jamaica and Ireland.
The US, too, is an outlier in that it is one of the wealthiest countries in the world, but also has high rates of religiosity. Still, a recent Pew survey revealed that, between and , the proportion of Americans who said they are atheist rose from 1. Decline, however, does not mean disappearance, says Ara Norenzayan, a social psychologist at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada, and author of Big Gods. Existential security is more fallible than it seems. In a moment, everything can change: a drunk driver can kill a loved one; a tornado can destroy a town; a doctor can issue a terminal diagnosis.
As climate change wreaks havoc on the world in coming years and natural resources potentially grow scarce, then suffering and hardship could fuel religiosity. This phenomenon constantly plays out in hospital rooms and disaster zones around the world. In , for example, a massive earthquake struck Christchurch, New Zealand — a highly secular society.
There was a sudden spike of religiosity in the people who experienced that event, but the rest of the country remained as secular as ever. While exceptions to this rule do exist — religion in Japan plummeted following World War II, for instance — for the most part, Zuckerman says, we adhere by the Christchurch model. A rabbi reads during Purim festivities Getty Images. This psychological staple states that we have two very basic forms of thought: System 1 and System 2.
System 2 evolved relatively recently.
System 1, on the other hand, is intuitive, instinctual and automatic. These capabilities regularly develop in humans, regardless of where they are born. Augustine had been less versed than they were, in all the elegant literature of the ancients? Nay, even in the very letter to which I have alluded, St. Augustine, if I remember right, speaks without regret, and even with satisfaction, of the books on music which his friend had expressed a wish to possess.
The sentiments of the early Church have undergone no change from time on this, any more than on other points. Bacon writes with great commendation of the zeal for learning which has always been shown in the Catholic Church. God, he writes, has always been shown in the Catholic Church.
Three Essays on Religion
God, he writes, "Sent out his divine truth into the world, accompanied with other parts of learning, as her attendants and handmaids. We find that many of the ancient bishops and fathers of the Church were well versed in the learning of the heathens, insomuch that the edict of the Emperor Julian, forbidding the Christians the schools and exercises, was accounted a more pernicious engine against the faith, than the sanguinary persecutions of his predecessors. It was the Christian Church, which, among the inundations of the Scythians from the northwest, and the Saracens from the east, preserved in her bosom the relics of even profane learning, which had otherwise been utterly extinguished.
And of late years the Jesuits have greatly enlivened and strengthened the state of learning, and contributed to establishe the Roman See. Between the extremes which Bacon has named, the ancient fathers and the Society of Jesus, there is a long interval, during which, ins pite of ordinary prejudice, we must not allow ourselves to imagine, that the fostering spirit of the Church was not exerted in favor of profane learning.
Revealed Religion
While the moderns continue, age after age, to hear only of the Caesars and the philosophers, and to exercise their ingenuity in tracing parallel characters among their contemporaries, the Catholic discovers that there lies, between the heathen civilization and the present, and entire world, illustrious with every kind of intellectual and moral greatness; the names which are on his tongue, are no longer Cicero and Horace, but St. Augustine, St. Bernard, Alcuin, St. Thomas, St.
Anselm; the places associated in his mind with the peace and dignity of learning, are no longer the Lycaeum or the Academy, but Citeaux, Cluny, Crowland, or the Oxford of the middle ages. I will only refer you to his rich and glowing page for sufficient proof that classical and philosophical pursuits were zealously and ably followed in the solitude of the cloister by - "The thoughtful monks, intent their God to please, For Christ's dear sake, by human sympathies poured from the bosom of the Church. But I cannot withhold from you the opinion of one who was a bright ornament of those calumniated ages.
Piety and Humanity: Essays on Religion in Early Modern Political Philosophy
Among the exquisite sermons of St. Bernard on the Canticles, is one on this very theme; "that the knowledge of human learning is good:" in which the eloquent father thus expresses himself. God forbid. I am not ignorant how much learned men have benefited, and now benefit the Church, whether by confuting those who are opposed her, or by instructing the ignorant.
And I have read, 'because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will reject thee; that thou shalt not do the office of the priesthood to me. Such then has been the feeling and conduct of the Catholic Church regarding the application of profane learning to the defence and illustration of truth: and perhaps the best answer which can be given to such inconsiderate Christians as say that religion needs not such foreign and meretricious aids, is that of Dr.

South; "if God hath no need of our learning, he can have still less of your ignorance. The second class of writers who assert that religion is not interested in the progress of learning is actuated by very different motives. For it comprises those enemies of revelation, against whom these Lectures have been principally directed, and who pretend that the onward course of science tends to overthrow or weaken, the evidences of revealed religion.
I have had so many opportunities of practically confuting these men, that I shall not stay to expose any further the folly of their assertions. I will only observe that this ungrounded reproach was not made, for the first time, by the modern adversaries of Christianity, but is in fact the oldest charge brought against it.
For Celsus, one of the most ancient impugners of its truths, whose objections are on record, especially taunted us with this hostility to science, from a fear of its weakening our cause. But he met with an able and victorious opponent in the learned Origen, who triumphantly rebuts the calumny, and draws from it a conclusion which I cannot refrain from quoting.
Opera, Tom. De la Rue ]. This remark, while it shows the security felt by Origen, that Christianity could not suffer by the encouragement of learning, is also a just rebuke to that timid class of friends who are alarmed at its progress. More than once I have had opportunities of vindicating Italy, and Rome especially, from silly calumnies in this regard.
