3. Searching for Raymond : Anglicanism, spiritualism, and bereavement between the two world wars [2000]
- Kollar, Rene.
- Lanham : Lexington Books, c2000.
- Description
- Book — xvi, 187 p. ; 24 cm.
- Summary
-
This text examines the relationship between the Anglican Church and Spiritualism following World War I. A study of the "claims of Spiritualism in relation to the Christian faith" carried out after World War I, but only made public in 1979, was found to be favourable to Spiritualism. The book explores the rise in the popularity of Spiritualism after the war as Anglican's failed to find solace in the teachings of their own faith; and it explores the connection of religious faith and bereavement between the two World Wars.

14. Reason for hope : a spiritual journey [1999]
- Goodall, Jane, 1934-
- New York, NY : Warner Books, 2003, c1999.
- Description
- Book — xvii, 298 p. : ill. ; 22 cm.
- Summary
-
Those who know Jane Goodall through her many books, speeches, and National Geographic television specials, know she is obviously no ordinary scientist. She is a genuinely spiritual woman who cares passionately about the preservation and enhancement of life in all its forms. Based upon the many spiritual experiences that have graced and shaped her outlook on life, Dr. Goodall is convinced there is a higher purpose to life, and that this purpose can best be served by a sense of reverence for creation - a commitment to opening our hearts and minds to the spiritual ties that bind us to the Earth. In this book, Dr. Goodall takes us through the pivotal events of her life - her childhood in war-torn England, her relationship with the Leakeys, her groundbreaking work with the chimpanzees of Gombe - and in doing so, touches upon such topics as faith and love, mysticism and science, the origins of good and evil and evolution, and the existence of the soul and of God. She sheds light not only on why millions of people today are hungry for meaning, but on the steps we can take to transform our lives for the better; to rekindle our spirits and reawaken our minds.

- Summary
-
"Masculinity and Spirituality in Victorian Culture" explores the wide range of issues centered round the theme of male spirituality in the 19th century drawing on the disciplines history, cultural studies, art history, and literary criticism. The study focuses on a wide range of issues including ideological and iconographical representations across the major Christian denominations, militarianism and hymnody and male sexuality and homoeroticism. At this time controversial, this study looks beyond the "canon" of acknowledged prescribers of gender identity, focusing on non-conformist figures such as William Booth and Charles Haddon Spurgeon, and also the work of 19th century homosexual writers such as John Addington Symonds. The study also explores relational aspects of gender, examining the work of women writers such as Eliot, Charlotte Yonge, and Charlotte Bronte and their writing on men and masculinity, and at male responses to the figure of the Virgin Mary. .
