God's Problem ? Bart D. Ehrman
In "God's Problem" Ehrman presents the Bible's version (and a few versions from various philosophers and email correspondents) of why God allows - even mandates - suffering. With a God who is supposed to be all knowing, all powerful, yet completely loving and benevolent to His creation, why are there genocides, natural disasters, wars, epidemics, and the usual suffering involved in living and dying. Interestingly, believers are statistically no more exempt from disasters than society's many "cheaters." One only needs to look around to find that evil people often thrive and the righteous often suffer. How can this be? The problem bothered Ehrman continually for decades, as he relates in this very personal book. He had a minor epiphany during his seminary training when an honest analysis of the Bible caused him to stop taking the Bible so literally. But that wasn't the insight that caused him to lose his faith. It was the problem with suffering that did it, although he admits "I went kicking and screaming." Scattered throughout the Bible are the justifications for suffering. The first (and main) rationale in the Old Testament is God's punishment for sin, starting right out with Adam and Eve. God makes His people suffer when they don't obey and not just a little slap on the wrist. The major and minor prophets - and most of the other books - spend a lot of time documenting droughts, pestilence, war, famine, and destruction. God is punishing His people for disobedience. The second rationale for suffering from the Old Testament is also because of sin, but due to man's inhumanity to man - caused by man's sinful nature. Good behavior naturally produces good consequences; cavorting and sinful behavior natually causes bad consequences, but with plenty of collateral damage. God doesn't inflict this one personally, but he allows it to happen, despite many prayers and supplications to let this cup pass from our hands. The third rationale - for some biblical authors suffering has a positive and redemptive aspect to it - suffering builds character. Sometimes God brings good out of evil such as in the compelling story of Joseph who is sold into slavery by his jealous brothers. At the end of Genesis, through Joseph's suffering, God saves His people. The fourth rationale - suffering can be inflicted by God as a test of your faith. Job is the prime example of this where Satan and God have a disagreement as to whether or not Job can keep his faith in the event of personal catastrophies. This one requires a little elaboration. God allowed multiple rounds of suffering. Satan eventually destroyed all Job's property, killed his 10 children, sent three "friends" over to relentlessly tell Job how sinful he had been - therefore asking for these tragedies; then Satan afflicted him with torturously painful sores all over his body - all over a bet. As God himself acknowledged, Job was innocent and didn't deserve the treatment, but rebuked Job when Job dared to question Him. In the end, God rewarded Job's faithfulness by restoring what Job had lost, including seven new children. Try that with any parent who has ever lost a child and see how far you get. The fifth rationale, the apocalyptic approach, was popular during Jesus's day, and in fact, Jesus and John the Baptist were both cut from this mold. Suffering is caused by the forces of evil and God is not responsible. When the end comes, the tables will turn, God will make things right, and the meek will inherit the earth. Ehrman doesn't buy any of these arguments, nor do it. The Bible is a magnificent document of literature as told by iron age people trying their best to keep their culture together. They lived in a poor country that happened to be on a major trade route between east and west. They were easy pickings as a series of more powerful nations conquered them, leaving them little down time from suffering. Ehrman was bothered by the inequities associated with the suffering God allowed (or caused) his chosen people to endure for about 20 years before he wrote this book. When he was 30, he taught a seminar on the subject, started thinking about writing a book on the subject, but didn't think he was ready. Now, 20 years later, he still doesn't think he was ready, but figured he would be not be ready at 70 either, so he may as well do it now. One book in the Bible does provide a view of suffering that is acceptable to Ehrman - that put forth in the book of Ecclesiastes: bad things happen but life brings good things. The solution to life is to enjoy it while you can while doing all the good you can because it will soon be over. And that's all there is. link 1.74 Mb http://rapidshare.com/files/203329251/GodP_ThePoet.rar

Scientific Basis for Ayurvedic Therapies
 Scientific Basis for Ayurvedic Therapies by: Lakshmi C. Mishra # Hardcover: 656 pages # Publisher: CRC; 1 edition (September 29, 2003) # Language: English # ISBN-10: 084931366X # ISBN-13: 978-0849313660 Review The book is written by over three dozen … experts and takes the reader from the general principles of Ayurveda to the specifics of this approach to health care. … All in all I found this book informative and well worth having.

I recommend it to all who look for an authoritative … account of Ayurvedic medicine. - Focus on Alternative and Complementary Therapies, Vol. 9(2), June 2004 Product Description Arguably the oldest form of health care, Ayurveda is often referred to as the "Mother of All Healing." Although there has been considerable scientific research done in this area during the last 50 years, the results of that research have not been adequately disseminated. Meeting the need for an authoritative, evidence-based reference, Scientific Basis for Ayurvedic Therapies is the first book to analyze and synthesize current research supporting Ayurvedic medicine.This book reviews the latest scientific information, evaluates the research data, and presents it in an easy to use format. The editor has carefully selected topics based on the availability of scientific studies and the prevalence of a disease. With contributions from experts in their respective fields, topics include Ayurvedic disease management, panchkarma, Ayurvedic bhasmas, the current status of Ayurveda in India, clinical research design, and evaluation of typical clinical trials of certain diseases, to name just a few.While there are many books devoted to Ayurveda, very few have any in-depth basis in scientific studies. This book provides a critical evaluation of literature, clinical trials, and biochemical and pharmacological studies on major Ayurvedic therapies that demonstrates how they are supported by scientific data. Providing a natural bridge from Ayurveda to Western medicine, Scientific Basis for Ayurvedic Therapies facilitates the integration of these therapies by health care providers. 1.41 MB html links: http://rapidshare.com/files/31351692...1366X.zip.html or http://www.megaupload.com/?d=QG24K49A or http://www.badongo.com/file/18698318 or http://www.2shared.com/file/9523743/...84931366X.html

Ayurveda: The Divine Science of Life
 Ayurveda: The Divine Science of Life
A unique introduction to the theory and practice of Ayurveda Product Description This unique one-of-a-kind book is a comprehensive introduction to the theory and practice of Ayurveda, and discusses the practical use of therapies such as diet, exercise, yoga, meditation, massage, and herbal remedies. The book also includes detailed information on Ayurvedic pharmacology and pharmacy, clinical methods and examinations, and general treatment protocols. Plus, a helpful section provides a comprehensive materia medica of 50 Indian herbs that include botanical descriptions, traditional Ayurvedic knowledge, constituent data and the latest medical research, as well as clinical indications, formulations, and dosages.
Ayurveda and its principles have been gradually becoming more accessible to Westerners over the last thirty years. During this time, a few books have appeared by Westerners on the topic offering an overview of the field, a few have described materia medica in Ayurvedic terms, and a few texts from India may be available. To date, however, there has not been a single comprehensive textbook on the topic written for the Westerner, by a Western clinical practitioner. Todd Caldecott's book now fills that gap, and also corrects some common misconceptions about Ayurveda. Ayurveda was a dying medical system in India by the turn of the twentieth century, preserved in a few family lineages in South Asia, but largely supplanted by British colonial medicine and, in parts of India, by Unani Tibb. After Indian independence in 1948, there was a resurgence of interest in this traditional national system. The resurgence unfortunately was not based on the extant thin lineages of clinical practice, but on books, and filtered through the lens of a sometimes-fundamentalist approach of twentieth-century Hinduism. Two aspects of the resurrected Ayurveda as taught in North America are at odds with the authentic original tradition. First, original Ayurveda was not a vegetarian system, contrary to common contemporary practice in North America. Second, the pulse diagnosis system in Ayurveda does not differ essentially from the Chinese system. Caldecott, who was trained in a legitimate lineage in India, practices now in Canada, and supervised a teaching clinic there for some years at the Wild Rose College in Calgary, has corrected these distortions. This is not just a philosophical consideration. Fewer than 3% of the North American population adhere to a strict vegetarian diet, and insisting on this as the ideal diet, besides contradicting core original Ayurvedic literature, essentially rules out benefit to much of the other 97%. Caldecott's text shows how the broad principles of Ayurveda can be applied in the social and dietary realities of 21st century North America. The book has everything you would expect in a textbook of humoral medicine: theory, constitutional considerations, dietary and lifestyle considerations, pharmacology and pharmacy, pathology and disease, clinical methodology for assessment, therapeutic methods, a materia medica of the fifty most important Ayurvedic herbs, and a formulary. link for 11 MB PDF: http://ifile.it/hleyxp7 or http://www.multiupload.com/B33JDE92FY Last edited by sunamistl : 29th November 2009 at 07:54 PM.
