Authorizing Marriage?
The opponents of legal recognition for same-sex marriage frequently appeal to a "Judeo-Christian" tradition. But does it make any sense to speak of that tradition as a single teaching on marriage? Are there elements in Jewish and Christian traditions that actually authorize religious and civil recognition of same-sex couples? And are contemporary heterosexual marriages well supported by those traditions? As evidenced by the ten provocative essays assembled and edited by Mark D. Jordan, the answers are not as simple as many would believe. The scholars of Judaism and Christianity gathered here explore the issue through a wide range of biblical, historical, liturgical, and theological evidence....
On Being Human
À première vue, l'humanisme occidental, le bouddhisme japonais et la science moderne ont si peu en commun que l'idée même de rechercher un terrain d'entente par le dialogue semble trop idéaliste. Seul un homme du calibre de daisaku ikeda pourrait mener à bien un tel projet. Faisant fi du cliché et des réponses faciles, il aborde les grandes questions auxquelles la société d'aujourd'hui est confrontée: cancer, sida, mort dignement, fécondation in vitro, éthique biomédicale... Les réponses apportées par René Simard, biologiste moléculaire et généticien, et Guy Bourgeault, bioéthicien , sont perspicaces et convaincantes. Leurs discussions ont franchi les barrières linguistiques et culturelles pour présenter une vision du potentiel - et des défis inhérents - à l'être humain.

L’essenza dell’uomo
Alle soglie del XXI secolo i rapidi progressi scientifici e tecnologici della medicina hanno consentito alla civiltà moderna enormi passi avanti: molte gravi malattie sono state debellate, le terribili epidemie del passato sono state stroncate, la chirurgia, con l’aiuto di tecniche sofisticatissime, permette oggi di guarire patologie una volta incurabili e di migliorare la qualità della vita di molti malati. Ma al contempo l’uomo è andato incontro a una «sofferenza dell’anima» sempre più diffusa e preoccupante. I veloci cambiamenti richiedono infatti un impegno che mina la nostra energia spirituale, causando disturbi psichici e depressione. Un filosofo buddista, un biologo e una ...

Faith, Politics, and Sexual Diversity in Canada and the United States
For decades, agitation by lesbians, gays, and other sexual minorities for political recognition has provoked a heated response among religious activists in both Canada and the United States. In this remarkable comparative study, expert authors explore the tenacity of anti-gay sentiment, as well as the dramatic shifts in public attitudes towards queer groups across all faith communities in both the United States and Canada. They conclude that, despite the ongoing conflict, religious adherence does not invariably entail opposition to the political acknowledgment of queer rights.
