Download or read book Founding the Fathers written by Elizabeth A. Clark and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2011-04-12 with total page 573 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through their teaching of early Christian history and theology, Elizabeth A. Clark contends, Princeton Theological Seminary, Harvard Divinity School, Yale Divinity School, and Union Theological Seminary functioned as America's closest equivalents to graduate schools in the humanities during the nineteenth century. These four Protestant institutions, founded to train clergy, later became the cradles for the nonsectarian study of religion at secular colleges and universities. Clark, one of the world's most eminent scholars of early Christianity, explores this development in Founding the Fathers: Early Church History and Protestant Professors in Nineteenth-Century America. Based on voluminous archival materials, the book charts how American theologians traveled to Europe to study in Germany and confronted intellectual currents that were invigorating but potentially threatening to their faith. The Union and Yale professors in particular struggled to tame German biblical and philosophical criticism to fit American evangelical convictions. German models that encouraged a positive view of early and medieval Christianity collided with Protestant assumptions that the church had declined grievously between the Apostolic and Reformation eras. Trying to reconcile these views, the Americans came to offer some counterbalance to traditional Protestant hostility both to contemporary Roman Catholicism and to those historical periods that had been perceived as Catholic, especially the patristic era.

Download or read book Economy Difference Empire written by Gary J. Dorrien and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2010 with total page 528 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sourcing the major traditions of progressive Christian social ethics--social gospel liberalism, Niebuhrian realism, and liberation theology--Gary Dorrien argues for the social-ethical necessity of social justice politics. In carefully reasoned essays, he focuses on three subjects: the ethics and politics of economic justice, racial and gender justice, and antimilitarism, making a constructive case for economic democracy, along with a liberationist understanding of racial and gender justice and an anti-imperial form of liberal internationalism. In Dorrien's view, the three major discourse traditions of progressive Christian social ethics share a fundamental commitment to transform the structures of society in the direction of social justice. His reflections on these topics feature innovative analyses of major figures, such as Walter Rauschenbusch, Reinhold Niebuhr, James Burnham, Norman Thomas, and Michael Harrington, and an extensive engagement with contemporary intellectuals, such as Rosemary R. Ruether, Katie Cannon, Gregory Baum, and Cornel West. Dorrien also weaves his personal experiences into his narrative, especially his involvement in social justice movements. He includes a special chapter on the 2008 presidential campaign and the historic candidacy of Barack Obama.

I find this a splendid piece of work, which anyone wanting to understand the current scene or think about the future in theological education will need to study." --The Journal of Religion Cherry's is a masterful account, weaving together themes of specialization, professionalization, and pluralism to create a fascinating narrative.... This is an important book, and one that ought to be read by anyone interested in theological education." --Anglican and Episcopal History "Conrad Cherry has done it again--that is, written another book on a facet of American culture that is based on extensive research... along with unique interpretative skills and a graceful style....[a] seminal, original, and genuinely historical study whose fresh waters flow into many fields." --Church History "Required reading for anyone concerned with American graduate education in religion, its liberal Protestant origins and its pluralistic future." --Religious Studies Review "... those who do read Cherry can begin to understand divinity schools as seldom before. His pages will offer revelations to those who inhabit and run such schools today, few of whom know much of their own history." --Academe "Cherry has opened an entirely new perspective on religion's role in American higher education and culture in the twentieth century... This work will be of great value not only to educational historians but also to American religious historians." --History of Education Quarterly "But this book is much more than mere institutional history; it is really an essay in intellectual history--the story of American academic faith--and should be read by many people otherwise unconcerned with divinity school education." --Choice "... excellent... " --Books & Culture "Conrad Cherry has provided a much-needed piece of historical work... deserves thoughtful reading by anyone interested in educational or religious history." --Journal of American History "No better study of theological education has been written.... It is an engaging story, filled with colorful characters, punctuated by conflict, and deepened by Cherry's wonderful sense for the complexity of human motives and institutions" --Brooks Holifield, Emory University "[A] truly magisterial book... marvelously informative as well as a joy to read." --Winton U. Solberg, University of Illinois "Anyone interested in the future of theological education--indeed anyone interested in the place of religion in American culture--cannot afford to ignore this pathbreaking study." --Theology Today "The archival research is exhaustive and the prose always lucid and engaging. Written by one who has spent decades in the fields of divinity education and American religious history, this book is certain to stand as the standard for this most important subject." --Harry S. Stout, Yale University "... his approach provides a helpful model for future studies in the relation of religion and higher education." --Religious Studies Review This historical analysis of American Protestant university-related divinity schools tells their story in terms of powerful social and cultural forces that decisively influenced American education in general and Protestant theological education in particular.
