The Human and alienation

This book is the companion piece to The Eternal Now and The New Beinشg. This is the most profound and important book of the three. Very readable (in contrast to acedemic theology) because these sermons were delivered live. Definitely Spirit-guided ministry. This work is very important in helping us to understand the difference between small spirit and large Spirit. 

The true "spiritual enthusiasm" is what we generally call "the church". This expresses this grouping, towards what has already been renewed.

The higher is also the deepest, and in it the separate moments are grouped together in the subsequent pigmentation of the subjective unity, the need for the interconnectedness that characterizes directness is eliminated, and the separate moments are returned to the subjective unity.

In this clear and provocative account of the epistemology of religious experience, William P. Alston argues that the perception of God-his term for direct experiential awareness of God-makes a major contribution to the grounds of religious belief. Surveying the variety of reported direct experiences of God, Alston demonstrates that a person can be justified in holding certain beliefs about God on the basis of mystical experience.

What if imagination and art are not, as many of us might think, the frosting on life but the fountainhead of human experience? What if our logic and science derive from art forms, rather than the other way around? In this trenchant volume, Rollo May helps all of us find those creative impulses that, once liberated, offer new possibilities for achievement. A renowned therapist and inspiring guide, Dr. May draws on his experience to show how we can break out of old patterns in our lives.

It is not a book about the religion of the churches but an effort to interpret the whole contemporary situation from the point of view of one who constantly inquires what fundamental faith is expressed in the forms which civilization takes.
