Am 31. Oktober 2017 jährt sich zum 500. Mal der Thesenanschlag Martin Luthers an die Tür der Schlosskirche zu Wittenberg. Dieses Ereignis und sein gewaltiger Nachhall fordern nicht nur die Katholische Kirche, sondern auch alle anderen am Dialog beteiligten Personen und Gruppen heraus, ihren je eigenen Beitrag zur Erinnerungskultur des Reformationszubiläums beizusteuern. Dass ein solcher Beitrag aus den Reihen der Bahá'í-Gemeinde kommt, mag zunächst überraschen, denn lange Zeit war das Verhältnis der Evangelischen Kirchen zur Bahá'í-Gemeinde eisig und von aggressiver Apologetik begleitet.

There is a reason that the phrase "spiritual but not religious" exists. Now more than ever, people are finding it difficult to reconcile their experiences or worldviews with the anxiety that organized religion too often creates. When we embrace the message but mistrust the institution, anxiety is at work. When we cling to a particular faith but struggle to reconcile ourselves to its beliefs and practices, anxiety is present. When we are drawn to mysticism, meaning, and wonder but burdened by religious baggage, we are longing to be Spiritual But Not Anxious.

Studies find that the most frequent reason for rejecting Christianity is that people could not get answers to their doubts. Finding Truth unpacks strategic principles that penetrate to the core of any perspective, to uncover its deepest motivations and weigh its claims.

People today encounter a dizzying array of religious options.

How do we know what is true? Is one faith just as good as another? Trial lawyer Mark Lanier presents the claims made by the world's great religions, discusses their histories, and cross-examines their witnesses (their scriptures and traditions) to determine whether their claims are worthy of belief.

People are hungry for hope. They want to understand our human condition—its origin, nature, purpose, and destiny.

This audiobook is a brief guide to understanding world religions. It examines the many types of religions and how they compare to Christianity. For most of history, the majority of the world's population has not known God and has followed other gods. Jeremiah and the other prophets lamented the fact that even God's own people were so often drawn away to worship pagan gods (Jeremiah 2:20). In this day and age, 60 percent of the world's population have not heard the good news of Jesus and live without any religion, or serve a religion that has no power to save them.

Alan Watts is today remembered as a trailblazing interpreter of Eastern philosophy, but The Two Hands of God reveals a different side of his multifaceted genius. In this ambitious work, Watts takes listeners on a fascinating journey through the mythology of China, Egypt, India, the Middle East, and medieval Europe. His theme is the human experience of polarity, a condition in which opposing qualities define and complement each other.

Having now lived and ministered in America for years, he also has a message for America about the dangers we are headed toward based on his intimate knowledge of life in a dictatorial country (Egypt) and what he sees here.

In the courtroom, lawyers depend on rules of evidence to make their arguments. A case is made by establishing certain facts from which proof can be determined.
