Religion and the Mind of Today

By Joseph Alexander Leighton

Book Overview

Religion and the Mind of Today is a non-fiction book written by Joseph Alexander Leighton. The book explores the relationship between religion and the modern mind, and how the two have interacted and evolved over time. Leighton argues that religion has played a significant role in shaping human thought and behavior, and that it continues to do so in the present day. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a different aspect of religion and its impact on the human mind. Leighton examines the role of religion in shaping moral and ethical values, as well as its influence on social and political structures. He also explores the ways in which religion has been used to explain and interpret the natural world, and how it has influenced scientific thought and discovery. Throughout the book, Leighton draws on a wide range of historical and contemporary examples to illustrate his points. He also engages with a variety of philosophical and scientific perspectives, including psychology, anthropology, and neuroscience. Religion and the Mind of Today is a thought-provoking and insightful book that will appeal to anyone interested in the intersection of religion, philosophy, and science. It offers a fresh perspective on the role of religion in contemporary society, and challenges readers to think critically about their own beliefs and assumptions.1924. Leighton writes that this book is a humble contribution towards the New Reformation, a modest prelude to the dawn of a new cultural synthesis which will mean a new religious synthesis, a new ethical synthesis and a new social synthesis-one in which the light of science will be vivified and energized by the moral and humane values implicit in the works of Jesus and his greatest disciples; but a synthesis which will include the ethical and social implications of our new knowledge of man, nature and their interrelations which are the fruits of science. The Contents are divided into three parts: Religion and Culture Today; The Religion of Jesus; and The Validity of Religion.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
