Having already written a lushly illustrated overview of the beliefs and practices of the world's religions (World Religions, also from DK), Bowker turns his attention to God and produces a book chock-full of facts, stories, legends and illustrations about the ways that religious traditions have developed their beliefs in God. Bowker first examines the ideas of Nietzsche, Feuerbach, Freud and others to demonstrate that all individuals and societies grapple with the meaning of God. In roughly chronological order, Bowker surveys the history of belief in God in animistic religions, Hinduism, Buddhism, Chinese religions, Judaism, Christianity and Islam. He explores various aspects of this belief, such as the meaning of dharma, the concept of wisdom and the nature of pilgrimage. Yet Bowker's book contains numerous problems. First, he never explains what he means by God. Is God the same as the Sacred or the Divine? Without a clearer explanation, many of the religions that he examines—Buddhism, for example—cannot be said to have a God. Second, does God indeed have a history? That implies that God would have had a beginning and will have an end, which runs counter to the notion that God is eternal and ahistorical. Third, because he does not provide a clear definition of God, Bowker levels the differences among the world's religions so that it appears that the God of Judaism is the same as the God of Hinduism. At best, Bowker provides a superficial overview of the history of belief in God for the "religion lite" crowd.

1001 Inventions Muslim Heritage in Our World 2nd edition

Title: 1001 Inventions Muslim Heritage in Our World 2nd edition | Chief Editor: Al-Hassani, Salim T S. | Islamic Science History | Foundation for Science Technology and Civilisation | year: 2007 | ISBN-13: 978-0-9552426-1-8 | Page: 366 | file: djvu

1001 Inventions uncovers a thousand years of scientific and cultural achievements from Muslim Civilisation from the 7th century onwards, and how those contributions helped create the foundations of our modern world.

This fascinating book as a significant contribution to a wider understanding of science and technology within Muslim civilization, and of our debt in modern societies to this particular tradition. Within any particular culture, such as the western and Anglo-centric tradition, it is all too easy to forget or downpay the complex history of the development of scientific ideas and technological inventions. Science and technology, in some shape or form, exists, and develops within all types of societies and in the context of all shades of religious belief. Ultimately, it matters not exactly by whom, exactly when, a particular discovery or invention was made.
