Meylan, "Foundations of an Ethics of Belief "
English | ISBN: 3110327449 | 2013 | 218 pages | PDF | 911 KB
In the course of our daily lives we make lots of evaluations of actions. We think that driving above the speed limit is dangerous, that giving up one s bus seat to the elderly is polite, that stirring eggs with a plastic spoon is neither good nor bad. We understand too that we may be praised or blamed for actions performed on the basis of these evaluations. The same is true in the case of certain beliefs. Sometimes we blame people for what they believe falsely or irrationally. On occasion, we praise them for their intellectual discoveries. The goal of the present study is to describe the foundations which allow for these kinds of judgments. If you think that people are not always forgivable for what they believe, you will find in this book the resources to defend this thought.

Paul Fouracre, "Eternal light and earthly concerns: Belief and the shaping of medieval society "

In early Christianity it was established that every church should have a light burning on the altar at all times. In this unique study, Eternal light and earthly concerns, looks at the material and social consequences of maintaining these 'eternal' lights. It investigates how the cost of lighting was met across western Europe throughout the whole of the Middle Ages, revealing the social organisation that was built up around maintaining the lights in the belief that burning them reduced the time spent in Purgatory. When that belief collapsed in the Reformation the eternal lights were summarily extinguished. The history of the lights thus offers not only a new account of change in medieval Europe, but also a sustained examination of the relationship between materiality and belief.

Politics, Poverty and Belief: A Political Memoir (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B0BV2YB381 | 2023 | 5 hours and 00 minutes | M4B@128 kbps | 278 MB
Author: Frank Field
Narrator: Jonathan Keeble
In this touching but also profound memoir, Field explains two key factors in his upbringing - the poverty of his own childhood and the deep and lasting effect of his Christian socialism, as exemplified in the writings of F. D. Maurice and William Temple. Field has spent his adult life fighting against poverty in Britain, through parliament and through his strong personal influence. Poverty for him has injustice at its root and as he explains in this book, he has found allies on all sides of the political spectrum. He was appointed by Tony Blair to be the Secretary of State for Pensions, but the reforms he advocated were so radical and essentially just, that Tony Blair could not contemplate them and Field stood down. Previously he had been Chairman of the Work and Pensions Select Committee under John Major.

Belief and Cult: Rethinking Roman Religion (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B0BTFKD514 | 2023 | 16 hours and 28 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 474 MB
Author: Jacob L. Mackey
Narrator: Adam Barr
Belief and Cult argues that belief isn't uniquely Christian but was central to ancient Roman religion. Drawing on cognitive theory, Jacob Mackey shows that despite having nothing to do with salvation or faith, belief underlay every aspect of Roman religious practices-emotions, individual and collective cult action, ritual norms, social reality, and social power. In doing so, he also offers a thorough argument for the importance of belief to other non-Christian religions. At the individual level, the book argues, belief played an indispensable role in the genesis of cult action and religious emotion. However, belief also had a collective dimension.

Belief Change: The Essential Guide on How Changing Your Beliefs Can Transform Your Life and Help You Live The Life You Truly Want

Stephen H Jones, Rebecca Catto, Tom Kaden, "Science, Belief and Society: International Perspectives on Religion, Non-Religion and the Public Understanding of Science"
English | 2019 | ISBN: 1529206944 | PDF | pages: 346 | 7.2 mb
The relationship between science and belief has been a prominent subject of public debate for many years, one that has relevance to everything from science communication, health and education to immigration and national values. Yet, sociological analysis of these subjects remains surprisingly scarce. This wide-ranging book critically reviews the ways in which religious and non-religious belief systems interact with scientific theories and practices. Contributors explore how, for some secularists, 'science' forms an important part of social identity. Others examine how many contemporary religious movements justify their beliefs by making a claim upon science. Moving beyond the traditional focus on the United States, the book shows how debates about science and belief are firmly embedded in political conflict, class, community and culture.
