What stops us? How do we alter? What does freedom look like? What kind of help do we get on the way? These questions take Dharmic Pulse through four dimensions: Bondage, Discipline, Release and Gift. Cooper Neitzel first probes their meaning, then considers how Hinduism, Buddhism, and Sikhism respond to them in their own words. The Hindu paths are knowledge, devotion, and action. Buddhism is a teaching of ethics, meditation, and wisdom. Sikhism incorporates remembrance and service into the daily life of the family and the community. Those who will browse religious philosophy books will see a careful comparison which values shared questions and different answers, without forcing one tradition into the language of another. And how their teachings still influence real lives today.
What do we owe the people and places who shaped our lives? In Sacred Reciprocity, Cooper Neitzel invites readers to go beyond gratitude and consider the obligations involved in receiving. He examines relationships to land, ancestors, community, and inherited knowledge through stories of the Whanganui River, Native Nations, and Yorùbá and Ifá worlds. These are not interchangeable stories and Neitzel does not purport to speak for the people who bear them. Instead, he listens to their public records for what they have to say about belonging and obligation. For those who are interested in books about cultural heritage, this fifth volume of The Covenant Pulse Series asks a personal question: now that we know what others have kept alive, what will we do differently?
What does God’s promise to Abraham mean for people living thousands of years later? Abrahamic Pulse explores that question through Judaism, Christianity, Islam, the Latter-day Saint Restoration, and the Bahá’í Faith. All traditions trace back to Abraham. Each tradition interprets the covenant differently. In this book, those differences are explored, not by using one faith as the standard for all the others. Neitzel explores how an ancient promise, through scripture, history, and daily religious life, continues to shape how communities pray, belong, and look to the future. It is an invitation to ask deeper questions, and to listen carefully to answers that do not always agree, across generations and cultures. For those readers exploring books about Abraham.
