Product Description
Over the past decade a strident public debate has arisen about the nature and origin of religions. Controversies include how exactly religion evolved, whether by individual or group selection, if it is adaptive, and if not, whether and how it is a side effect of evolution. This volume focuses on the issue of naturalizing religion: on the ways in which cognitive science and social sciences have treated religion as a natural phenomenon. It questions whether religious behaviour, institutions, and experiences can be explained in natural terms. The editor brings together some of the best published work on the definition of 'religion', intelligent design and the evolution of religion. ... Read more

Product Description
The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own: digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries, undergraduate students, and independent scholars.
The Age of Enlightenment profoundly enriched religious and philosophical understanding and continues to influence present-day thinking. Works collected here include masterpieces by David Hume, Immanuel Kant, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau, as well as religious sermons and moral debates on the issues of the day, such as the slave trade. The Age of Reason saw conflict between Protestantism and Catholicism transformed into one between faith and logic -- a debate that continues in the twenty-first century.

Non illustré. Mises à jour gratuites en ligne. Extrait : Alexandre de Lincoln, dit le Magnifique († février 1148), issu d'une influente lignée de hauts-officiers et de prélats, était évêque de Lincoln. Neveu de l'évêque Roger de Salisbury, chancelier d'Angleterre sous le règne d'Henri Ier, Alexandre était aussi apparenté à Néel d'Ely. Formé au chapitre de Laon, il fut au service de son oncle en tant qu'archidiacre au début des années 1120. Contrairement à ses parents, Alexandre n'exerça aucune charge administrative avant d'avoir été consacré évêque de Lincoln en 1123 ; mais à compter de cette date, il était souvent présent à la cour du roi Henri, agissant comme témoin lors de la signature de plusieurs actes royaux et servant comme juge du Lincolnshire. Alexandre est resté dans l'histoire pour sa magnificence et son goût de l'ostentation. Il a fondé plusieurs institutions religieuses, fut un grand constructeur et un mécène réputé. Membre assidu des synodes, il fut particulièrement actif dans l'organisation de son diocèse, où il multiplia le nombre d'archidiacres et étendit le principe des prébendes pour subvenir aux besoins de ses auxiliaires religieux. Sous le règne du roi Étienne, Alexandre fut déchu du fait de la disgrâce de sa famille à la cour : il fut arrêté en même temps que son oncle Roger en 1139 et jeté en prison. Libéré, il passa l'essentiel des années 1140 à Rome, à la cour du Vatican, d'où il apportait son appui à la rivale du roi Étienn...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ... Read more

Product Description
Chapters: David Owen Dodd, Adolph R. Hanslik, John Wilkins Whitfield,. Source: Wikipedia. Pages: 20. Not illustrated. Free updates online. Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: David Owen Dodd (November 10, 1846 - January 8, 1864) was an American 17 year-old who was tried, convicted and hanged as a Confederate spy in the American Civil War. In December 1863, Dodd carried some letters to business associates of his father in Union-held Little Rock, Arkansas. While traveling home to Confederate-held Camden, Arkansas, he mistakenly re-entered Union territory. Found to be without a pass, Union soldiers questioned him and discovered that he was carrying a notebook with the locations of Union troops in the area. He was arrested and tried by a military tribunal, with little defense offered for his actions. The tribunal found him guilty of spying and he was hanged for his crime in January 1864. Though Dodd did not reveal the source of the information, a 15-year old girl named Mary Dodge and her father were summarily escorted back to their home in Vermont. These events have led to David Owen Dodd being called the "Boy Martyr of the Confederacy". David Owen Dodd was born in Victoria, Lavaca County, Texas, to Andrew Marion Dodd, a merchant, and Lydia Echols Owen. His Baptist parents had married in a village south of Little Rock, Arkansas and moved to Texas where David and his sisters, Leonora and Senhora, were born. David's sister Leonora died before the Civil War. In 1856, the family returned to Arkansas and settled near Benton. In 1861, the Dodds moved to Little Rock to be closer to Senhora, who attended school in the city and lived with her aunt, Mrs. Susan A. Dodd. David Dodd went to classes at St. John's Masonic College. Dodd and his father moved to Monroe, Louisiana in August 1862, where Dodd began working as a clerk in ...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=15904158 ... Read more
