It builds on broad spiritual foundations from Native American, Asian, Neopagan, Judeo-Christian, and Islamic traditions. Pragmatic and straightforward, it addresses the most pressing global dilemmas of our time: environment, globalization, feminism and gender issues, religious strife, oppression, poverty, war, and prejudice. Theologically, it systematically explores our many views of God; good, evil, sin, and suffering; revelation; spirituality in the digital age; the spirit of love and community; and so on. However, it is not a pleasant treatise on love. It is a living, faith-in-action, theology free of rigid words (Scriptures), beliefs (dogma), or practices (rituals). With seven billion people on the planet, many more to come, cooperating and living (loving) together is a survival essential. In a crisis, our best nature surfaces--but we seem unable to sustain a sense of true community and compassion for more than a few CNN weeks at a time. It is a spiritual priority to seek a means to sustain a loving community for longer periods--whether within the family, the community, the larger society, or the world. A theology of universalism offers a pathway of hope.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Resource Publications (CA)","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45145266094231,"sku":"9781666730098","price":2324.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781666730098.webp?v=1767911296","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/a-fresh-cup-of-tolerance-9781666730098","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
