Beliefs and Thoughts by Ramkarrun Jokhoo (English) Paperback Book

Description: Beliefs and Thoughts by Ramkarrun Jokhoo Beliefs and Thoughts is a lively, readable presentation, very generally addressed, of the major practical, ethical, political and spiritual considerations of today. A principal quality of the book is its accessibility. It expresses advanced, sometimes complex and intellectual concepts in a pleasing and very communicative literary style. The style is important; it is calm, it is not argumentative, it is persuasive. The author does not take up a polemical stance. He is a believing humanist. He examines in particular the universality of message, and gives the reader a clear way to positive thought. One of the qualities of this book is that it may start the casual reader to think less casually. It is extremely easy to read without being in the least simplistic, especially when it argues such points as the existence of God; Jokhoo well describes himself as a "divine humanist", an excitingly original concept. We are not, says Jokhoo, either alone or in that state described by St Thomas Aquinas as "uncreated". Jokhoo is theist, indeed monotheist, but his stance is entirely inclusivist; one of the problems with the great monotheist religions is that they are mutually exclusive. Jokhoo is a spiritual writer who communicates with his reader in the language of truth and perception and the phraseology of every day, albeit in a melodic and refreshing prose style that complements the matter. Jokhoo uses some pleasing literary devices which surprise, attract and engage the reader, but do not clash with his message, such as the Socratic dialogue. He avoids clichÃ©. This is an interesting and above all thought-provoking book, presenting a poetic distillation of much thought and wisdom in a frame that is contemporary but also timeless. There is much in this volume that will remain with the reader FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Beliefs and Thoughts is a lively, readable presentation, very generally addressed, of the major practical, ethical, political and spiritual considerations of today.
