{"product_id":"9780944344767","title":"The World to Come: From Christian Past to Global Future","description":"\u003cp\u003eLloyd Geering observes that we have come not only to the end of  the millennium, but to the end of Christendom, the dissolution of Christian  orthodoxy, the failure of modernism, and the end of old mythic certainties.  We are entering a new era, the global era, which is post-Christian. In \u003ci\u003eThe  World to Come\u003c\/i\u003e, Geering sketches his vision of a new global spirituality  that incorporates the best of our legacy from the past and promotes care  for all living creatures and the earth itself.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLloyd Geering is Lecturer, St. Andrew's Trust for the Study of  Religion and Society, and Emeritus Professor of Religious Studies at  Victoria University, Wellington, New Zealand. Honored as a Companion of the  British Empire in 1988, he is a public figure of considerable renown in New  Zealand where he is in constant demand as a lecturer and as a commentator  on religion and related matters on both television and radio.  In 1966,  Lloyd Geering published an article on \"The Resurrection of Jesus\" and, in  1967, another on \"The Immortality of the Soul,\" which together sparked a  two-year public, theological controversy that culminated in charges by the  Presbyterian Church of New Zealand-of which he is an ordained minister-of  doctrinal error and disturbing the peace of the church. After a dramatic,  two-day televised trial, the Assembly judged that no doctrinal error had  been proved, dismissed the charges and declared the case close. Lloyd  Geering is the author of several books, including \u003ci\u003eTomorrow's Godv (1994) and  \u003ci\u003eIn the World Today\u003c\/i\u003e (1988).  \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Polebridge Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47023740813552,"sku":"9780944344767","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780944344767_p0.gif?v=1763873167","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780944344767","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
