Zen Judaism
Few spiritual practices are more intriguing or elusive than those of Zen Judaism,” says David M. Bader in the foreword to Zen Judaism . “This growing movement offers a unique way to follow in the footsteps of the Buddha, ideally without gaining quite so much weight.” These nearly 100 sacred teachings are capable “of bringing about an enlightenment experience so pure, so elevating, and so intense, you could plotz.” For you, some samples: To know the Buddha is the highest attainment. Second highest is to go to the same doctor as the Buddha. Be here now. Be someplace else later. Is that so complicated? There is no escaping Karma. In a previous life, you never called, you never wrote, you never visited. And whose fault was that? If there is no self, whose arthritis is this? Be patient and achieve all things. Be impatient and achieve all things faster. From the Hardcover edition.

Zerstrittene Volksgemeinschaft
Hauptbeschreibung 1933 gehrten mehr als 95 Prozent der deutschen Bevlkerung einer der beiden groen christlichen Konfessionen an. Diese konfessionellen Zugehrigkeiten nderten sich bis zum Zusammenbruch des Dritten Reiches nicht wesentlich. Dies ist umso bemerkenswerter, als zu diesem Zeitpunkt der grte Teil der deutschen Bevlkerung zugleich auch einer nationalsozialistischen Organisation angehrte. Offenbar entwickelte sich whrend der NS-Diktatur eine geistig-religise Koexistenz der auf den ersten Blick unvereinbaren Rollen des politisch glubigen Nationalsozialisten und des herkmmlichen Kirchenchristen. Dieser Band untersucht, welche Formen diese Koexistenz annahm, welche Wandlungen sie erfuhr und welche Konflikte sie erzeugte. Und er fragt, ob sich die zeitgenssischen Religionsverhltnisse allein auf den Kirchenkampf der beiden groen Konfessionen reduzieren lassen.

Zohar: The Book of Splendor
One of the great masterpieces of Western religious thought, the Zohar represents an attempt to uncover hidden meanings behind the world of appearances. It is the central work in the literature of the Kabbalah, the Jewish mystical tradition.

Zoroastrianism
Zoroastrianism is one of the world's great ancient religions. In present-day Iran, significant communities of Zoroastrians (who take their name from the founder of the faith, the remarkable religious reformer Zoroaster) still practise the rituals and teach the moral precepts that once undergirded the officially state-sanctioned faith of the mighty Sasanian empire. Beyond Iran, the Zoroastrian disapora is significant especially in India, where the Gujurati-speaking community of exiles from post-Sasanian Iran call themselves 'Parsis'. But there are also significant Zoroastrian communities to be found elsewhere, such as in the USA, Britain and Canada, where western cultural contexts have shaped the religion in intriguing ways and directions. This new, thorough and wide-ranging introduction will appeal to anyone interested in discovering more about the faith that bequeathed the contrasting words 'Magi' and 'magic', and whose adherents still live according to the code of 'Good Thoughts, Good Words, Good Deeds.'The central Zoroastrian concept that human beings are continually faced with a choice between the path of 'good' and 'evil', represented by the contrasting figures of Ahura Mazda and Ahriman, inspired thinkers as diverse as Voltaire, Mozart and Nietzsche. Jenny Rose shows why Zoroastrianism remains one of the world's most inspiring and perennially fascinating systems of ethics and belief.
Zwischen Enthüllen Und Verstecken
Barbara Honigmann’s texts oscillate between disclosure and concealment. This leitmotif manifests itself in the choice of genre and structure of her works, in her use of language, in the way she draws her characters and in her double life as a woman writing in German and a painter leading a religious life in Strasbourg. The study provides a content analysis of her prose writing, with its main themes of family research, exile, memory, life in the ex-GDR and Strasbourg and examines Honigmann’s place within recent Jewish literature.
