In 2003, he published Pagan Theology , in which he put forward the idea that the ancient pre Christian and pre Islamic religions of Eurasia, indigenous religions from across the globe, and contemporary Pagan faiths could all be constituted as forms of paganism . Personal life Describing his own religious beliefs and his affection for paganism, York remarked that If I had to name my own denominational predilection, I would say that I am a religionist. I believe in religion itself and its central role in expanding human consciousness above and beyond immediate daily concerns. I see religion as an ongoing dialogue that questions the purpose of life and our terrestrial incarnations. In my own pursuit and love of religion as religion, I have been particularly attracted to paganism not only as the source and origin of all religion but also as an organic alternative to the institutionalized and parochial insularity that much religious expression has become. ref Yor03 York 2003 . p. ix. ref Bibliography Books class wikitable plainrowheaders sortable scope col Title scope col Year scope col Publisher scope col class unsortable ISBN scope row The Roman Festival Calendar of Numa Pompilius 1986 Peter Lang New York scope row The Emerging Network A Sociology of the New Age and Neo pagan Movements 1995 Rowman & Littlefield Lanham, Maryland scope row The Divine versus the Asurian An Interpretation of Indo European Cult and Myth 1995 Rowman & Littlefield Lanham, Maryland scope row Pagan Theology Paganism ... title Pagan Theology Paganism as a World Religion last aut York, Michael authorlink Michael York religious studies scholar year 2003 publisher New York University Press location New York isbn 978 0 8147 9702 0 nopp ref Yor03 Category Pagan studies scholars York, Michael Category English academics ...   more details

  1. Religious interpretation

    Unreferenced date December 2009 Religious interpretation and similarly religious self interpretation define a section of religion related studies theology , comparative religion , reason where attention is given to aspects of perception&mdash where religious symbolism and the self image of all those who hold religious views have important bearing on how others perceive their particular belief system and its adherents. Self interpretation Often teachers of religion preachers, monks, rabbis make a claim that their religions are not religions at all &mdash rather are Way of Life, a Reality, or The Truth. From the point of view of another religion s aherents, claims like this are often seen to be diametrically opposed to their own teaching and belief. A Taoist who says for example that Tao is not a religion , rather is a way of life may find a very different view from a Christian minister, or a Hindu priest. The typical claim then, is Despite what another religion may claim, our truth is the real truth, or closer to the real truth. namely God . Hence a claim, by one religion s adherents that its truth is greater than the other. The irony is obvious While each tradition aspires to appear as close to an essential truth &mdash one which transcends material concerns and perceptual appearances, each will have adherents who maintain very localized and material concerns for its own traditional symbols and language. Logically then, it is only by these localized views that one religion s adherents may see others as inferior.
