On Behalf of God
A discussion of Christian ethics applied to such topics as the environment, assisted reproduction, abortion, surrogacy, the human genome, the pursuit of knowledge, and human sexuality.
Science Spirituality and Ontological Mysticism
This book is the outcome of two decades of author’s reflection over this subject. Ontological mysticism is the basis for the philosophical and the scientific truth and reality. Twenty first century is ushering in an era of spiritual renaissance. There is a convergence of science and spirituality. The relativity and quantum mechanics are coming closer to Vedantic and Buddhistic concept of truth and reality. The book analyses and examines different philosophical and scientific concepts both from the transcendental and the relativistic perspective. It has also introduced a new concept in the form of cosmic consciousness as the ultimate reality and the scientific and philosophical importance of subject or perceiver. Subject or perceiver may be accepted as the fifth dimension. The cosmic consciousness is the only reality that exists. This book is full of paradoxes and contradictions, it is full of allegories and metaphors: they are not truths but pointer to deeper and profound truth. Sometimes myths and metaphors, fables and allegories speak out greater truth than truth itself as truth is mystical and metaphysical.
Understanding Dying, Death, and Bereavement

The well-known authors and researchers integrate stimulating personal accounts throughout the text, and apply concepts to specific examples that deal with cross cultural perspectives and the practical matters of death and dying.

This volume assesses why the US stance has evolved in the way that it has, concluding that while international factors cannot be overlooked, developments within the United States itself are also crucial. After years of vacillating on Palestinian national aspirations, the majority of Americans, the author notes, have come to favor the establishment of an independent Palestinian state on the West Bank and the Gaza strip. Considering what accounts for changes in US policy on Israel-Palestine, this volume:...

A Mind for Tomorrow
Stover and Erdmann deal with the crises confronting today's world and argue that solutions will come not from new technology nor in retreating to an idealized agrarian past, but by overhauling the beliefs that structure society. They link the dilemmas facing civilization to a fundamental rift running through society—one between religion and the humanities, rooted in subjective experience, and science, which emphasizes objective knowledge. They suggest a promising way of closing this rift found in the work of Nobel Laureate and neuroscientist Roger W. Sperry. They examine Sperry's lifework, including his famous split- brain research and show how it led him to propose a theory of consciousne...
Homelands
What does it mean to be from somewhere? If most people in the United States are "from some place else" what is an American homeland?
