Religion In Common Life by John Caird is a philosophical and theological exploration of the role of religion in everyday life. Caird argues that religion is not just a personal belief system, but rather an essential aspect of human existence that shapes our values, beliefs, and actions in the world. He examines the ways in which religion intersects with politics, education, and social justice, and how it can be a force for positive change in society.Caird also delves into the nature of religious experience, exploring the relationship between faith and reason, and the role of religious traditions in shaping our understanding of the divine. He argues that religion is not a static entity, but rather a dynamic and evolving force that must adapt to changing social and cultural contexts.Throughout the book, Caird draws on a wide range of philosophical and theological sources, including the works of Immanuel Kant, Friedrich Nietzsche, and Karl Barth. He also engages with contemporary debates about religion and secularism, offering a nuanced and thoughtful perspective on these complex issues.Overall, Religion In Common Life is a rich and insightful exploration of the role of religion in contemporary society, and an important contribution to the ongoing conversation about the relationship between faith and public life.A Sermon Preached At Crathie Church, Oct. 14, 1855, Before Her Majesty The Queen And Prince Albert.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
