[Dialogue] A Book Question

[John Cock]

I have problem with Armstrong's human-centeredness, but she has a host of
colleagues. Most of us will struggle with that centeredness till death, for
it's in our bones. Religious are not dealing with that are pre-Hubble and
-Einstein in their worldviews.

To me, the only thing that puts Tickle and Armstrong in the same class is
their mutual use of the 'axial age'. However, I found Armstrong profound and
Tickle shallow. But that's just my perception.

They've probably been mentioned on this list before, but two books spring to
mind: (a) Phylllis Tickle's The Great Emergence, which draws on, (b) Karen
Armstrong's The Great Transformation.both of which develop Karl Jasper's
concept of "axial age" from the late '40s.

Two related notes. 

The Anglican Bishop Dwyer used the expression "church rummage sale" (every
few centuries, letting go of the old so that the new might emerge) to
describe what happens in transition times-axial ages-like ours (and
Luther's, and the 11th Century, etc.)

I heard Rabbi Rami Shapiro speak in Denver last month. He's working with
'axial age' as a way to context an emergence of spirituality based on
practices rather than beliefs.
