Book Reviews “The Hermetic Museum: Alchemy & Mysticism” by Alexander Roob

The Hermetic Museum: Alchemy & Mysticism by Alexander Roob, Taschen, 576 pages
Long before Dow and designer drugs, the alchemists of medieval Europe were already dreaming of better living through chemistry. Far from a pseudo-scientific pursuit of turning lead into gold, alchemists saw their rites of metal and fire as an occult spirituality carried on from antiquity. Physical elements, like iron and copper, could yield philosophical truths through rituals of smelting and extraction.

At UW-Eau Claire, chemist mixes science, spirituality
Posted: at 9:47 am
Science and Christianity are often viewed as incompatible, but they mix well for a renowned chemist who visited UW-Eau Claire Thursday.
Henry "Fritz" Schaefer III gave a presentation titled "My Spiritual Journey" to UW-Eau Claire students, faculty and staff. The former University of California, Berkeley professor who currently is director of the Center for Computational Quantum Chemistry (CCQC) at the University of Georgia, also gave a talk over the dinner hour titled "The Challenge of Being a Person of Faith in a Scientific World" and ended his visit with a speech titled "The Big Bang, Stephen Hawking and God" Thursday night.
Schaefer said he hasn't always been a Christian. He became one during his fourth year as a professor at Berkeley.
"I was challenged to consider the evidence for the resurrection of Jesus Christ," he said. "I did that for a couple of years and became convinced intellectually that's true."
He said he hoped to get students thinking about "spiritual things" during his time in Eau Claire.
"The questions he's trying to answer are questions of life -- questions that don't change -- that we tend to ask as human beings," said Dave Johnson, who works with Cru, a religious group that brought Schaefer to campus.
Schaefer also met with UW-Eau Claire chemistry students Thursday afternoon and took the opportunity to do some recruiting.
"We were looking for new Ph.D.
Schaefer is friends with Berkeley professor Richard Saykally, a UW-Eau Claire alumnus.
"I'm looking for the next Rich Saykally to come and work with me for a Ph.D.," Schaefer said.

Reports of Religion’s Decline in America Are “Misleading, Inaccurate and Biased,” Baylor Researcher Says

Newswise Reports of religions demise have been greatly exaggerated, says Byron Johnson, Ph.D., co-director of Baylor Universitys Institute for Studies of Religion.
Close examination of data from the General Social Survey and other data sources show that across 40 years, church attendance has varied only slightly, Johnson wrote in The Heritage Foundations recently published 2014 Index of Culture and Opportunity: The Social and Economic Trends that Shape America. Headlines are misleading, inaccurate and biased, Johnson wrote, referring to reports that millennials are leaving the faith of their parents; that young people under 30 are deserting the church; that women are rapidly falling away from religion; and that those without religious affiliations have doubled in recent decades.
Johnson challenges media accounts that suggest a consistent if not dramatic decline of faith in the nations culture. He said that analyses of data from the General Social Survey* and data from the Baylor Religion Survey* show that:
Millennials, like the vast majority of Americans, consider themselves religious. Because options abound, however, many people switch churches for varied reasons, often to a different denomination from the one in which they were raised. This change does not mean that they have departed the faith, Johnson said, noting that many change to more theologically conservative churches than those of their childhood. Switching churches is a fascinating subject, and if anything, its a marker of religious vitality, not decline. While surveys perennially find that younger people are less likely to attend church, reflecting the fact that many single young adults choose to sleep in on Sunday mornings once they are out on their own, church attendance rates recover once they marry and have children. However, recent research confirms if people do not marry, and if they do not have children, there is a real decline in church attendance a finding that is particularly striking among the poor and less educated. On the other hand, many who do not attend church regularly, especially the elderly, consistently report high levels of religious commitment and belief. In 2007, 38 percent of women, compared with 26 percent of men, described themselves as very religious, according to the Baylor Religion Survey. Such a gender gap has been consistent since 1991, according to GSS data. The number of atheists in America has remained steady at 4 percent since 1944, and church membership has reached an all-time high. Inaccurate perceptions exist in part because traditional surveys do not ask respondents enough questions to accurately sort out religious affiliations. Johnson noted that some of the nones those who report no religious affiliation indicated not only that they regularly attended church but even provided the name and address of their church. The knee-jerk reaction that all nones are unaffiliated or atheist is false, Johnson said.
*The General Social Survey (GSS) is a sociological survey used to collect data on demographic characteristics and attitudes of residents of the United States. It is conducted with in-person interviews by the National Opinion Research Center at the University of Chicago of adults (18 and older) in randomly selected households. The survey was instituted in 1972, initially done annually, and since 1994 has been conducted every other year. The data collected is demographic information and respondents' opinions on issues ranging from government spending to race relations to the existence and nature of God. As of 2010, 28 national samples with 55,087 respondents and 5,417 variables had been collected.
*The Baylor Religion Survey is a random sample of 1,714 individuals across the country. Designed by Baylor University scholars and conducted by The Gallup Organization, it includes more than 300 items dealing with religion and the attitudes, beliefs and values of the American public.
ABOUT BYRON JOHNSON:
Johnson is Distinguished Professor of the Social Sciences at Baylor and founding director of Baylors Institute for Studies of Religion. He is a Senior Fellow at The Witherspoon Institute of Princeton University and Senior Research Scholar at the Institute for Jewish and Community Research in San Francisco. He is the author of More God, Less Crime and recognized as an authority on the scientific study of religion, including recent publications examining the impact of faith-based programs on recidivism reduction and prisoner reentry. He is working with the Gallup Organization on studies exploring religion and spirituality in the world.
