{"product_id":"religion-without-god-1","title":"Religion Without God","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis criticism of theism, especially monotheism, questions the assumption that rejecting God means rejecting religion. Drawing on Western philosophical critiques of religion and non-theistic Eastern religions, Ray Billington shows how a religion without God could work.\u003cbr\u003eThe concept of religion without God has informed not only the theories of Nietzsche, Kant and Spinoza, but also expressions of belief in Indian and Chinese religions-Hinduism, Theravada Buddhism Zen and Taoism. Concluding with a look at the \"the future of faith,\" this is a wide ranging and lucidly-written look at what it means to \"have faith\" and how this is distinct from religious belief. \u003cbr\u003eRay Billington is an experienced and respected author on Eastern religion and philosophy. His books include \u003cem\u003eUnderstanding Eastern Philospophy\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eLiving Philosophy\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eEast of Existentialism\u003c\/em\u003e, all published by Routledge. He also writes occasional journalism most notably as a contributor to \u003cem\u003eThe Guardian's 'Face to Faith'\u003c\/em\u003e column. An ex-Methodist minister and onetime chaplain with the SAS, he has now retired from his post as Principal Lecturer in Philosophy at the University of the West of England.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54235929543000,"sku":"9780415217859","price":192.2,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780415217859.jpg?v=1779171327","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/religion-without-god-1","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
