From Islam to Secular Humanism
By: Sohail, Khalid
Published by: Electronic & Database Publishing, Inc.
"One's own experiences the ultimate teacher." This significant statement by a great world leader opens Dr. Sohail's sensitively written book. Its the cornerstone of Sohail's belief. It can be heard in all its variations in the many cultures of the world. The author, born into an insular Muslim society, was taught only the Quran and accepted it dutifully until the day when his questions began in medical school. This first step, on a long journey of learning that continues to this day, brought him tithe acceptance of secular humanism. Muslims, Christians, Jews, Hindus, Buddhists and the rest of the world's formal religions live side by side with millions who opted out of their religious birthright. These "brothers and sisters," once adherents to concepts which required they submit themselves and their families to the strictures of only one" rightness", no longer live within that belief. His desire is that men and women of all confessions would read his book with an open mind, loosening the fetters of acceptance to decide for themselves if there is journey beckoning to be taken. If the world is to fulfill its promise of becoming a place of love and respect for everyone, it is through the introspection flowing through his book that individuals will be helped to practice such understanding and respect.

Gendering Wisdom the Host
By: McKinlay, Judith E.
Published by: Sheffield Academic Press
This work looks at the intertextual relationships of the invitations to eat and drink in Proverbs, Ben Sira and John 4. If the first two invitations are offered by a female Wisdom/Sophia, what are the gender implications when the hostess becomes a host in John 4? The study poses the possibility of an ongoing convergence strategy, which may have begun when Israelite sages adapted for a Yahwistic context language and imagery earlier associated with female deities. In a subtle move, McKinlay draws upon contemporary reader resistance in order to counter such ideological moves by the scribes, whose ambivalence towards real-life women is also observed in these works.

God Against The Gods
By: Kirsch, Jonathan
Published by: The Penguin Group (USA)
As conflicts over religious extremism dominate our front pages, the bestselling author of The Harlot by the Side of the Road presents a work of history that could not be more timely: a surprising look back at the origins of religious intolerance during the tumultuous fourth century. This is the epic story of how classical paganism, with its tolerance for many deities and beliefs, lost a centuries-long struggle with monotheism and its chauvinistic insistence on belief in one God. With his trademark blend of wit and scholarship, Kirsch traces the war of God against the gods from its roots in Ancient Egypt to its climax during the last stand of paganism the tumultuous fourth century, when two passionate, charismatic, and revolutionary Roman emperors, the Christian Constantine and the pagan Julian, changed the course of history and shaped the world we live in today.
