Sinossi
`Lucid and passionate, Losing My Religion is also spectacularly controversial. It warrants a disciplined, thoughtful response from readers at any point on the religious spectrum who are prepared to suspend their prejudices. Tom Frame offers some challenging speculations about a possible future where organised religion has retreated to an even more minor role in Australian life than it plays today. He has created a beautiful blend of history, theology and sociology.' Hugh MacKay
For much of its history Australia has been considered a `Christian' nation. But is it? With more than a quarter of the population without a declared religion and falling participation rates, Australia appears to be among the world's most godless nations. Science has challenged theological interpretations of the natural world, rationalists welcome the apparent decline of religious belief, and secularists advocate banning all government support for religious groups.
But have Australians lost their religious convictions? Has science proved that God does not exist? Has modern rationality rendered traditional religious belief largely untenable? And what would living in a godless society be like? In Losing My Religion, Tom Frame, one of Austrlia's best-known writers on religion and society, attempts to answer these crucially important questions.

Losing My Religion
Da: Rarewaves.com USA, London, LONDO, Regno Unito
Valutazione del venditore 5 su 5 stelle
Paperback. Condizione: New. In this challenging and provocative book, Tom Frame, one of Australia's best-known writers on religion and society, examines diminishing theological belief and declining denominational affiliation. He argues that Australia has never been a very religious nation but that few Australians have deliberately rejected belief - most simply can't see why they need to be bothered with religion at all. He contends that vehement campaigning against theistic belief is the product of growing disdain for religious fundamentalism and a vigorous commitment to personal autonomy. Losing My Religion contends that God is certainly not dead but that Australia's religious landscape will continue to change as the battle for hearts, minds and spirits continues. Published on the sesquicentennial of the first release of Charles Darwin's On the Origin of Species (1859), this book will provoke debate about what matters to Australians.Winner Australian Christian Book of the Year 2010.
