Book Study Group
Format: A book discussion group that will read For the Glory of God by Rodney Stark. This is Amazon's blurb: Rodney Stark's provocative new book argues that, whether we like it or not, people acting for the glory of God have formed our modern culture. Continuing his project of identifying the widespread consequences of monotheism, Stark shows that the Christian conception of God resulted--almost inevitably and for the same reasons--in the Protestant Reformation, the rise of modern science, the European witch-hunts, and the Western abolition of slavery. In the process, he explains why Christian and Islamic images of God yielded such different cultural results, leading Christians but not Muslims to foster science, burn "witches," and denounce slavery. One benefit of this book is that it sets right (not for the first time) misconceptions about the church's supposed role in persecuting scientists such as Copernicus, and the supposes terrors it instituted during the inquisition.When: A mid-week evening based on availability
Roughly 1.5 hours
