Christianity as a divine living religion (1 Viewer)

[sdoumit]

I got given this quote by Albert Einstein
“True religion is real living; living with all one's soul, with all one's goodness and righteousness.”

what contributes to a dynamic, living religious tradition on christianity??

I know nothing about the hsc subject, however Einstein was NOT a christian he was not even a theist at all. He was more of a deist/agnostic.
Additionally that quote reads very deistic to me

Firstly, start off in discussing what a dynamic & living religion is:

--> A religion which embodies its core beliefs whilst still adapting facets (the characteristics of religion) to modern context. This in turn allows for adherents to practice their given religion within their societal bounds.
--> Dynamic implies it is sustainable and adaptable yet true to its fundamental beliefs
--> Living furthers that idea that it is active and relevant over ever-changing contexts

Throughout your response it would be best to discuss in close reference to the syllabus points of the 'characteristics of religion' which regard:
1. Beliefs & believers
2. Sacred Texts
3. Ethics
4. Practice/ritual

Depending on how you wish to approach the response structurally, you could possibly discuss these aspects, how they relate to one another and the way in which they shape a 'dynamic & living religion'. Most importantly, you should illustrate how the characteristic of religion foster the nature of a dynamic and living religion with relevant examples from the Religious Traditions (Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism, Hindism, Islam) you have studied.
