This book was released on 1999 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Volume 32 in the HSRCA series chronicles the internal quarrels that have occurred in RCA history, particularly the landmark secessions that occurred in 1850, 1857, and 1882. While exploring the unity and disunity that have characterized the RCA since the Dutch immigration to the United States, this study also points out the righteous motivations that lay behind these struggles and shows how these historic quarrels have their counterpart in contemporary debates over the ordination of women and the church's acceptance of homosexuals.

Download or read book The Encyclopedia of Louisville written by John E. Kleber and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2014-07-11 with total page 1029 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With more than 1,800 entries, The Encyclopedia of Louisville is the ultimate reference for Kentucky's largest city. For more than 125 years, the world's attention has turned to Louisville for the annual running of the Kentucky Derby on the first Saturday in May. Louisville Slugger bats still reign supreme in major league baseball. The city was also the birthplace of the famed Hot Brown and Benedictine spread, and the cheeseburger made its debut at Kaelin's Restaurant on Newburg Road in 1934. The "Happy Birthday" had its origins in the Louisville kindergarten class of sisters Mildred Jane Hill and Patty Smith Hill. Named for King Louis XVI of France in appreciation for his assistance during the Revolutionary War, Louisville was founded by George Rogers Clark in 1778. The city has been home to a number of men and women who changed the face of American history. President Zachary Taylor was reared in surrounding Jefferson County, and two U.S. Supreme Court Justices were from the city proper. Second Lt. F. Scott Fitzgerald, stationed at Camp Zachary Taylor during World War I, frequented the bar in the famous Seelbach Hotel, immortalized in The Great Gatsby. Muhammad Ali was born in Louisville and won six Golden Gloves tournaments in Kentucky.
Download or read book Herman J Ridder Contextual Preacher and President written by George Brown Jr. and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company. This book was released on 2008-12-23 with total page 488 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During his nearly fifty years of ministry, Herman J. Ridder served in an impressive variety of roles. He pastored churches in five states, served as Minister of Evangelism for the Reformed Church in America, and was named president of three different seminaries. But no matter what his role, Ridder s ministry is best viewed as an engagement of the gospel with the culture. Perhaps nowhere is this more apparent than in his sermons. / Here editor George Brown, Jr., has collected over forty of Ridder s sermons including several sermon series which draw on the popular culture of his time, current events, and critical social issues, all examined through the lens of Scripture. This is a book in which anyone in the ministry and all those who seek to engage the gospel with the culture can find a wealth of examples and inspiration. / Pastor Ridder is one of the most eloquent voices in the contemporary Reformed tradition. For so many years he preached vibrant theology in his sermons. In a day when sermons seem to be getting thin and insubstantial, Ridder s sermons recall all of us preacher to the nobility and the gravity of our task. William H. Willimon / Bishop of the United Methodist Church, North Alabama Conference

Download or read book Religions of the United States in Practice Volume 1 written by Colleen McDannell and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2018-06-05 with total page 529 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Religions of the United States in Practice is a rich anthology of primary sources with accompanying essays that examines religious behavior in America. From praying in an early American synagogue to performing Mormon healing rituals to debating cremation, Volume 1 explores faith through action from Colonial times through the nineteenth century. The documents and essays consider the religious practices of average people--praying, singing, healing, teaching, imagining, and persuading. Some documents are formal liturgies while other texts describe more spontaneous religious actions. Because religious practices also take place in the imagination, dreams, visions, and fictional accounts are also included. Accompanying each primary document is an essay that sets the religious practice in its historical and theological context--making this volume ideal for classroom use and accessible to any reader. The introductory essays explain the various meanings of religious practices as lived out in churches and synagogues, in parlors and fields, beside rivers, on lecture platforms, and in the streets. Religions of the United States in Practice offers a sampling of religious perspectives in order to approximate the living texture of popular religious thought and practice in the United States. The history of religion in America is more than the story of institutions and famous people. This anthology presents a more nuanced story composed of the everyday actions and thoughts of lay men and women.
Download or read book Historical Dictionary of the Reformed Churches written by Robert Benedetto and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2023-10-15 with total page 895 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As its name implies, the Reformed tradition grew out of the 16th century Protestant Reformation. The Reformed churches consider themselves to be the Catholic Church reformed. The movement originated in the reform efforts of Huldrych Zwingli (1484-1531) of Zurich and John Calvin (1509-1564) of Geneva. Although the Reformed movement was dependent upon many Protestant leaders, it was Calvin's tireless work as a writer, preacher, teacher, and social and ecclesiastical reformer that provided a substantial body of literature and an ethos from which the Reformed tradition grew. Today, the Reformed churches are a multicultural, multiethnic, and multinational phenomenon. Historical Dictionary of the Reformed Churches, Third Edition contains a chronology, an introduction, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has more than 1,000 cross-referenced entries on leaders, personalities, events, facts, movements, and beliefs of the Reformed churches. This book is an excellent resource for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about reformed churches.

Download or read book Liturgy Among the Thorns written by James Hart Brumm and published by Historical Series of the Refor. This book was released on 2007 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Worship is central to what it means to be the church, and certainly a Reformed church. It was a chief concern of John Calvin's in Strasbourg and Geneva, a subject addressed by both the Heidelberg Catechism and the Belgic Confession, and central enough to become part of the Constitution of the Reformed Church in America. Liturgy among the Thorns is the first book to examine that history, while seeking to create a framework for discussing the RCA's liturgical future." "Some of the denomination's leading liturgical scholars, including Daniel Meeter, Christopher Dorn, Kathleen Hart Brumm, Dennis TeBeest, Martin Tel, Norman Kansfield, Donald Bruggink, and Paul Janssen, examine various aspects of RCA worship life, including Baptism, the Lord's Supper, congregational song, architecture, and prayer, discuss how these have developed over the past century, and explore how congregations can address this tradition creatively and meaningfully in a time of dramatic and rapid change. Coming in response to Howard Hageman's landmark lectures on the liturgy at Western Theological seminary in 1966 and I. John Hesselink's challenge to the General Synod of 1966, this volume portrays the RCA as being of two minds about its worship and challenges the denomination, after a century of sweeping liturgical transformation, to be in constant dialogue about its worship understanding, to use its varied understandings inventively, and to grow, not into a multiplicity of niche markets, but a church worshipping God together."--BOOK JACKET.
