基督宗教

by Harvey Cox, 哈维·寇克斯, 孙尚扬 (Translator)

《基督宗教》为美国哈佛大学神学院教授寇克斯所撰写的一部基督宗教的入门书。作者没有从一般学者所关心的教义或组织问题入手，而是将重心放在宗教的实践者，强调“人”才是主体，才是宗教的焦点。作者从耶稣开始，巧妙地列举基督宗教传统中的决定性人物，说明他们不同的个性和表现，以及在何种层面上，为这个世界性的宗教构成一幅多姿多彩的图画。另一方面，作者也为我们说明在当前众多的基督教派之间，仍然为大多数基督徒所遵从的节庆和教义，以及这些仪式对教徒生活的引导作用。最后，作者还介绍了基督宗教的最新发展。《基督宗教》以轻松愉悦的方式，带着我们进入基督宗教的内在世界。

About the author

Harvey Gallagher Cox Jr., Ph.D. (History and Philosophy of Religion, Harvard University, 1963; B.D., Yale Divinity School, 1955) was Hollis Professor of Divinity at Harvard, where he had been teaching since 1965, both at HDS and in the Harvard Faculty of Arts and Sciences, until his retirement in 2009.

An American Baptist minister, he was the Protestant chaplain at Temple University and the director of religious activities at Oberlin College; an ecumenical fraternal worker in Berlin; and a professor at Andover Newton Theological School. His research and teaching interests focus on the interaction of religion, culture, and politics. Among the issues he explores are: urbanization, theological developments in world Christianity, Jewish-Christian relations, and current spiritual movements in the global setting. His most recent book is When Jesus Came to Harvard: Making Moral Decisions Today. His Secular City, published in 1965, became an international bestseller with more than 1 million copies sold. It was selected by the University of Marburg as one of the most influential books of Protestant theology in the twentieth century.
