The Future of Religion

London, C.A. Watts. 1969, First. (ISBN: 0296348368). Hard Cover, 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall. A Fine unmarked copy with VG dustjacket. This is a book written for those who are certain neither of the demise of religion nor of its power to sustain its past roles into the future. Religion, in vast variety, has been part of man's social and personal life for most of recorded time: but some of the forces, intellectual and social, shaping the world of today deny or ignore its relevance for modern man. Is it so certain, however, that they can meet man's needs with no reliance on past tradition and no continuance of a living strand of religion in the lives and thought of at least a minority?

BOROS, LADISLAUS

God Is with Us

London, Burns and Oates. 1970. (ISBN: 0223300004). Soft Cover, 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. A Very Good clean, tight and unmarked copy with just a touch of wear to spine head. xii + 199 pages. Boros is here concerned with contemporary restlessness about the existence of God, much of it caused by man's having constructed a God he now finds no use for. It would be better, he suggests, to forget what we have heard about God, even the name of God, and perhaps man's sense of separation from the God who seems dead to him is providential, for it leaves him more free to express his responsibility in terms of God's real presence, through Christ, in humanity - which he does know. Boros consciously attempts to look at Christ as a man and nothing more. NOT EX LIB R8. Very Good/No Jacket.

Beyond the Darkness - a Biography of Bede Griffiths

London, Rider. 1998, First Edition. (ISBN: 0712674292). Hard Cover, 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. A near Fine unmarked copy with usual slight age darkening to page edges and a small indentation to top edge with near Fine dustjacket. The story of one of the century's greatest spiritual thinkers, the Benedictine monk, Bede Griffiths. At Oxford in the 1920's he became a close friend of C.S. Lewis and knew other members of the 'Inklings' group, was tormented, as a young man, by intense spiritual suffering in the search for his true path in life, becoming a monk in England and Scotland. In 1955 he went to India, where he built up a thriving spiritual community at Shantivanam in Tamil Nadu. Regarded by many as a prophet, a sage, a mystic, even a saint, he both loved the Church and was deeply critical of it, and was open to all paths by which people seek God, whether through the universal tradition known as the 'perennial philosophy', the Buddhist teaching of Dzogehen or esoteric practices such as the Tarot. His interests also encompassed New Age movements. NOT EX LIB R1. Near Fine/Near Fine.

Her first task was Bertrand Russell, and since then has photographed everyone in the news, and many of these photographs are in this book from eminent churchmen to Mother Teresa of Calcutta. Alongside them are the pictures from her own village, from her time spent in retreat, at family and village baptisms, weddings and funerals. R1. Fine/Near Fine.
