Rooted in traditional Toltec wisdom beliefs, THE FOUR AGREEMENTS in life are essential steps on the path to personal freedom. As beliefs are transformed through maintaining these agreements, shamanic teacher and healer DON MIGUEL RUIZ asserts lives will "become filled with grace, peace, and unconditional love."
In BEYOND BELIEF, renowned religion scholar ELAINE PAGELS continues her groundbreaking examination of the earliest Christian texts, arguing for an ongoing assessment of faith and a questioning of religious orthodoxy. Pagels returns to her investigation of the "secret" Gospel of Thomas, and breathes new life into writings once thought heretical. As she arrives at an ever-deeper conviction in her own faith, Pagels reveals how faith allows for a diversity of interpretations, and that the "rogue" voices of Christianity encourage and sustain "the recognition of the light within us all."
THE GOD WE NEVER KNEW Answering many "spiritual" questions renowned author MARCUS BORG reveals how to embrace an authentic contemporary faith that reconciles God with science, critical thinking and religious pluralism. How to have faith----how to even think about God----without having to stifle modern rationality is one of the most vital challenges facing contemporary religion.
In MEETING JESUS AGAIN FOR THE FIRST TIME, MARCUS BORG addresses the yearnings of those who want a fully contemporary faith that welcomes rather than oppresses our critical intelligence and openness to the best of historical scholarship. Borg shows how a rigorous examination of historical findings can lead to a new faith in Christ, one that is critical and, at the same time, sustaining.
