Book 500 ans de Suisse romande protestante

Download or read book 500 ans de Suisse romande protestante written by Olivier Bauer and published by Livreo-Alphil. This book was released on 2020-01-01 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: D’où vient la frontière entre Jura sud et Jura nord ? Pourquoi le train Yverdon-Sainte-Croix ne circulait-il pas le dimanche ? Depuis quand le Conseil oecuménique des Églises est-il installé à Genève ? Qu’est-ce qui lie les Dames de Morges à la communauté de Grandchamp? Pourquoi peut-on faire ses courses à Bulle le lundi du Jeûne ? D’où venait le bois utilisé pour construire la chapelle des Mayens de Sion ? Pourquoi Henri Druey, James Fazy et Alexis-Marie Piaget ont-ils nationalisé les Églises réformées ? Cet ouvrage répond à ces questions, à d’autres que vous vous posez, à celles que vous n’osez pas imaginer. Il vous mène du premier culte célébré en 1526 par Farel jusqu’au synode de l’Église réformée évangélique de Suisse en 2020. Il vous conduit d’Aigle à Porrentruy, à Saxon, à Morat, aux Ponts-de-Martel, à Corgémont ou à Genève. Il offre une vision panoramique et détaillée de chacun des six siècles de l’histoire protestante dans les sept cantons suisses francophones ou bilingues. Il met en lumière six fortes personnalités — trois hommes et trois femmes —, six beaux gestes, mais aussi six grandes hontes du protestantisme romand.

Book Les fractures protestantes en Suisse romande au XIXe si  cle

Download or read book Les fractures protestantes en Suisse romande au XIXe si cle written by Jean-Pierre Bastian and published by Labor et Fides. This book was released on 2021-07-07 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cet ouvrage renouvelle nos connaissances historiques sur les causes et les effets de la formation des Églises libres ou indépendantes de Genève (1817, 1831, 1849), Vaud (1847-1966) et Neuchâtel (1874-1943), en portant sur ce processus un regard interdisciplinaire. L’objectif est de fournir les bases d’une histoire à la fois religieuse, sociale et politique des protestantismes romands au XIXe siècle, en traitant conjointement les questions institutionnelles et les dimensions culturelles, philosophiques et théologiques. Se saisir de cette manière des fractures religieuses intervenues dans le protestantisme romand dans le prolongement du mouvement du Réveil, permet de comprendre, à partir d’un contexte encore mal étudié, ce que la modernité fait à la religion, avec l’introduction des libertés individuelles et de la démocratie par exemple, et, à l’inverse, ce que la religion fait à la modernité.

Book Le protestantisme en Suisse romande

Download or read book Le protestantisme en Suisse romande written by Bernard Reymond and published by Labor et Fides. This book was released on 1999 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La 4e de couverture indique : " La Suisse romande est un des berceaux du protestantisme. Son influence y est réelle encore aujourd'hui, quand bien même ses expressions institutionnelles sont actuellement en crise. Le protestantisme est repérable dans le paysage, les arts, la littérature, les institutions sociales ou l'économie. Il a suscité une civilisation originale dans le monde francophone et il cherche aujourd'hui un nouveau souffle en réfléchissant à son identité: la prédication, les convictions, la culture biblique, la spiritualité et la communication. De Töpffer à Denis de Rougemont, de la Croix-Bleue à la Croix-Rouge, des chalets d'alpage aux institutions bancaires, le protestantisme existe, le Suisse romand le rencontre tous les jours."

Book Une histoire de la R  forme protestante en Suisse  1520 1565

Download or read book Une histoire de la R forme protestante en Suisse 1520 1565 written by Pierre-Olivier Léchot and published by Alphil-Presses universitaires suisses. This book was released on 2017-09-01 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le 9 mars 1522, une petite assemblée réunie autour du réformateur Ulrich Zwingli mange ostensiblement des saucisses en pleine période de carême, en totale opposition avec les prescriptions alimentaires qui régissent ce temps de renoncement aux plaisirs du monde. La Réforme suisse est lancée. Emmenée par des figures comme Zwingli, Vadian ou Bullinger et, en Suisse romande, par des personnalités telles que Farel, Viret et Calvin, la Réforme va profondément transformer le paysage religieux et politique de la Suisse moderne. Fondée jusque-là sur sa culture du mercenariat, la réputation de la Confédération sera désormais portée par son statut de centre intellectuel et religieux du protestantisme européen. Mais, à ses marges, la Réforme suisse ne fait pas l'unanimité : en témoignent l'opposition du catholicisme qui lui résiste dans certains cantons et le développement, à Zurich même, du mouvement anabaptiste qui finira par essaimer dans le vaste monde. Guerres de religion, bûchers, noyades et bannissements marquent ainsi ses premières années. Confrontée à la nécessité de l'apaisement politique et religieux, la Réforme contribue pourtant aussi, mais à son corps défendant, au développement de la culture du compromis helvétique et à l'émergence du pluralisme religieux. Elle participe ainsi à l'entrée de plain-pied de la Confédération dans les temps modernes.

Book Literary Translation  Reception  and Transfer

Download or read book Literary Translation Reception and Transfer written by Norbert Bachleitner and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2020-09-21 with total page 486 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The three concepts mentioned in the title of this volume imply the contact between two or more literary phenomena; they are based on similarities that are related to a form of ‘travelling’ and imitation or adaptation of entire texts, genres, forms or contents. Transfer comprises all sorts of ‘travelling’, with translation as a major instrument of transferring literature across linguistic and cultural barriers. Transfer aims at the process of communication, starting with the source product and its cultural context and then highlighting the mediation by certain agents and institutions to end up with inclusion in the target culture. Reception lays its focus on the receiving culture, especially on critcism, reading, and interpretation. Translation, therefore, forms a major factor in reception with the general aim of reception studies being to reveal the wide spectrum of interpretations each text offers. Moreover, translations are the prime instrument in the distribution of literature across linguistic and cultural borders; thus, they pave the way for gaining prestige in the world of literature. The thirty-eight papers included in this volume and dedicated to research in this area were previously read at the ICLA conference 2016 in Vienna. They are ample proof that the field remains at the center of interest in Comparative Literature.

  • ISBN : 0691177562
  • Pages : 172 pages

Download or read book American Religion written by Mark A. A. Chaves and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2017-08-29 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The most authoritative resource on religious trends in America—now fully updated Most Americans say they believe in God, and more than a third say they attend religious services every week. Yet studies show that people do not really go to church as often as they claim, and it is not always clear what they mean when they tell pollsters they believe in God or pray. American Religion presents the best and most up-to-date information about religious trends in the United States, in a succinct and accessible manner. This sourcebook provides essential information about key developments in American religion since 1972, and is the first major resource of its kind to appear in more than two decades. Mark Chaves looks at trends in diversity, belief, involvement, congregational life, leadership, liberal Protestant decline, and polarization. He draws on two important surveys: the General Social Survey, an ongoing survey of Americans' changing attitudes and behaviors, begun in 1972; and the National Congregations Study, a survey of American religious congregations across the religious spectrum. Chaves finds that American religious life has seen much continuity in recent decades, but also much change. He challenges the popular notion that religion is witnessing a resurgence in the United States—in fact, traditional belief and practice is either stable or declining. Chaves examines why the decline in liberal Protestant denominations has been accompanied by the spread of liberal Protestant attitudes about religious and social tolerance, how confidence in religious institutions has declined more than confidence in secular institutions, and a host of other crucial trends. Now with updated data and a new preface by the author, this revised edition provides essential information about key developments in American religion since 1972, plainly showing that religiosity is declining in America.

Book Planning in Cold War Europe

    Book Details:
  • Author : Michel Christian
  • Publisher : Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG
  • Release : 2018-10-08
  • ISBN : 3110532409
  • Pages : 383 pages

Download or read book Planning in Cold War Europe written by Michel Christian and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2018-10-08 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The idea of planning economy and engineering social life has often been linked with Communist regimes’ will of control. However, the persuasion that social and economic processes could and should be regulated was by no means limited to them. Intense debates on these issues developed already during the First World War in Europe and became globalized during the World Economic crisis. During the Cold War, such discussions fuelled competition between two models of economic and social organisation but they also revealed the convergences and complementarities between them. This ambiguity, so often overlooked in histories of the Cold War, represents the central issue of the book organized around three axes. First, it highlights how know-how on planning circulated globally and were exchanged by looking at international platforms and organizations. The volume then closely examines specificities of planning ideas and projects in the Communist and Capitalist World. Finally, it explores East-West channels generated by exchanges around issues of planning which functioned irrespective of the Iron Curtain and were exported in developing countries. The volume thus contributes to two fields undergoing a process of profound reassessment: the history of modernisation and of the Cold War.
