PAGAN RESURRECTION
Book ID/图书代码: 02897005B10255
English Summary/英文概要: "Pagan Resurrection" puts forward a fascinating and controversial idea - namely that it is the pagan god Odin and not Christ who is the single most important spiritual influence in western civilisation. Far from being just a New Age fad, paganism is fast becoming a major spiritual, intellectual, ecological and political force across the globe. Rudgely is an Oxford trained anthropologist and critically acclaimed author of "Lost Civilisations of the Stone Age", who has since presented three series on Channel 4. He takes the reader through the strange world of modern pagan cuts, the pagan beliefs that underpin important parts of modern culture, such as "Lord of the Rings" and the highly pagan counter culture that sprang up in the sixties and now offers an attractive alternative spiritual vision to millions alienated from Christianity. He explains the ancient idea of the Web - a cosmic field of energies that encompasses time, space and the hidden potentials of the human organism, and shows that this is a pagan equivalent to the eastern tradition of Tao. Our civilisation, our belief systems and attitudes indeed our psyche have been formed by Odin. The influence of Christ, he says, has been relatively recent and shallow. Paganism, like Christianity, can be a force for good or evil. At this turning point in history we need to choose between the dark and destructive paganism that gave rise to Nazism and modern right-wing movements in American and, on he other hand, the green paganism of ecology and alternative spirituality. Every decade or so a new generation is inspired by a controversial classic of alternative history/spirituality - The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail, Fingerprints of the Gods... The time now is just right for Pagan Resurrection!
Chinese Summary/中文概要: 《异教徒的复苏》提出了一个神奇又有争议的想法,欧丁神才是西方文明中唯一重要的精神势力,而不是基督耶稣,异教信仰可不是灵修的一时风潮,,它正迅速地成为全球一种重要的宗教、文化、生态和政治势力。
Rudgley是牛津大学的人类学家,他曾创作过一部饱受好评的作品《石器时代的失落文明》,之后还在四套上播出了三个系列。他带领读者走进了现代异教徒狂热追捧以及组成现代文化重要部分的异教徒信仰以及形成于60年代的极端异教徒的反文化的陌生世界里,也让我们看到了无数脱离基督教信仰群体的精神面貌。他阐述了WEB,一种很古老的宇宙能量磁场,它包涵时间、空间以及人类有机体潜藏的能量,并展现了异教徒其实和东方的道教其实是等同的。
我们的文明、信仰体系、态度,甚至连我们的灵魂都是由欧丁神赐福的。基督对我们的影响则相对现代、也很浅显。他声称自十九世纪末期以来欧丁神----异教信仰又重新冒出了头。
和基督教一样,异教信仰也有好坏之分的。在历史的转折处,我们需要分清导致纳粹和美国现代侧翼运动的黑暗和破坏性的邪教,和生态化的绿色邪教主义。
