Book Protestantism and Political Conflict in the Nineteenth century Hispanic Caribbean

Download or read book Protestantism and Political Conflict in the Nineteenth century Hispanic Caribbean written by Luis Martínez-Fernández and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2002 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Catholicism has long been recognized as one of the major forces shaping the Hispanic Caribbean (Cuba, Puerto Rico, and the Dominican Republic) during the nineteenth century, but the role of Protestantism has not been fully explored. Protestantism and Political Conflict in the Nineteenth-Century Hispanic Caribbean traces the emergence of Protestantism in Cuba and Puerto Rico during a crucial period of national consolidation involving both social and political struggle. Using a comparative framework, Martínez-Fernández looks at the ways in which Protestantism, though officially "illegal" for most of the century, established itself, competed with Catholicism, and took differing paths in Cuba and Puerto Rico. One of the book's main goals is to trace the links between religion and politics, particularly with regard to early Protestant activities. Protestants encountered a complex social, economic, and political landscape both in Cuba and in Puerto Rico and soon found that their very presence, coupled with their demands for freedom of worship and burial rights, involved them in a series of interrelated struggles in which the Catholic Church was embroiled along with the other main forces of the period--the peasantry, the agrarian bourgeoisie, the mercantile bourgeoisie, and the colonial state. While the established Catholic Church increasingly identified with the conservative, pro-slavery, and colonialist causes, newly arrived Protestants tended to be nationalistic and to pursue particular economic activities--such as cigar exportation in Cuba and the sugar industry in Puerto Rico. The author argues that the early Protestant communities reflected the socio-cultural milieus from which they emerged and were profoundly shaped by the economic activities of their congregants. This influence, in turn, shaped not only the congregations' composition, but also their political and social orientations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Antes del comienzo de la historia humana, Satanás y sus ángeles instigaron un conflicto en el ámbito espiritual que continúa hasta este mismo momento. El drama se enfurece a través de las páginas de la Biblia desde Génesis hasta Apocalipsis. La humanidad fue creada para resolver este antiguo conflicto, pero Satanás y las hordas de demonios no vistos que él comanda no sufrirán derrota sin una lucha intensa. Una táctica que Satanás emplea son las variadas facetas de actividad de demonios. El demonismo ciega a los no creyentes al Evangelio, distrae a los creyentes de la vida espiritual y amenaza a la nación con el juicio divino. Aquellos que son ignorantes o están confundidos acerca de las estrategias sutiles de Satanás llegan a ser una presa fácil. La Biblia advierte de forma enfática a los creyentes contra cortejar o confratenizar con cualquier forma de demonismo. Surgen preguntas críticas una y otra vez: ¿Cómo llegan a enredarse las personas en el demonismo? ¿Qué es la influencia de demonios? ¿Quién puede ser poseído por demonios? ¿Es válido el exorcismo? ¿Cómo puede protegerse el creyente a sí mismo de lo demoníaco? Sólo la Biblia puede responder estas preguntas y eliminar la confusión.

  • ISBN :
  • Pages : 297 pages

Download or read book Los Protestantes written by Juan Francisco Martínez Jr. and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2011-10-20 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contradicting the widely held but false belief that all Latinos are Catholic, this book offers a concise one-volume introduction to America's Latino Protestants, the fastest growing segment of U.S. Protestantism today. Los Protestantes: An Introduction to Latino Protestantism in the United States, the first to provide a broad introduction to this rapidly growing population. At its core is an exploration of the group's demographics, denominational tendencies, and potential for continued growth. Current information is supported by a survey of the history of Latino Protestants in the United States, which dates back to the efforts of missionaries in the mid-19th century. Los Protestantes brings together data from formerly disparate studies of various aspects of the community to create an insightful overview. The work presents brief descriptions of principal denominations and organizations among Latino Protestants. It notes marked differences that separate Latino Protestants from other U.S. Protestants, and it examines an evolving Protestant/Latino ethno-religious identity. Readers will come away from this study more clearly understanding the current state of Latino Protestantism in the United States, as well as where Latino Protestants fit in the overall picture of U.S. religion.

Book The Black Christ of Esquipulas

Download or read book The Black Christ of Esquipulas written by Douglass Sullivan-Gonzalez and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2016-01-01 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On the eastern border of Guatemala and Honduras, pilgrims and travelers flock to the Black Christ of Esquipulas, a large statue carved from wood depicting Christ on the cross. The Catholic shrine, built in the late sixteenth century, has become the focal point of admiration and adoration from New Mexico to Panama. Beyond being a site of popular devotion, however, the Black Christ of Esquipulas was also the scene of important debates about citizenship and identity in the Guatemalan nation throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. In The Black Christ of Esquipulas, Douglass Sullivan-González explores the multifaceted appeal of this famous shrine, its mysterious changes in color over the centuries, and its deeper significance in the spiritual and political lives of Guatemalans. Reconstructed from letters buried within the restricted Catholic Church archive in Guatemala City, the debates surrounding the shrine reflect the shifting categories of race and ethnicity throughout the course of the country’s political trajectory. This “biography” of the Black Christ of Esquipulas serves as an alternative history of Guatemala and sheds light on some of the most salient themes in Guatemala’s social and political history: state formation, interethnic dynamics, and church-state tensions. Sullivan-González’s study provides a holistic understanding of the relevance of faith and ritual to the social and political history of this influential region.

He concludes by outlining the challenges currently facing Latino Protestants in the United States and considering what Latino Protestantism might look like in the future. Offering vital insights into key leaders, eras, and trends in Latino Protestantism, Martínez's work will prove an invaluable resource for all who are seeking to understand this rapidly growing US demographic.

  • ISBN : 0197610196
  • Pages : 433 pages

Download or read book For God and Liberty written by PAMELA. VOEKEL and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2022-11-29 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Age of Revolution has traditionally been understood as an era of secularization, giving the transition from monarchy to independent republics through democratic movements a genealogy that assumes hostility to Catholicism. By centering the story on Spanish and Latin American actors, Pamela Voekel argues that at the heart of this nineteenth-century transformation in Spanish America was a transatlantic Catholic civil war. Voekel demonstrates Reform Catholicism's significance to the thought and action of the rebel literati who led decolonization efforts in Mexico and Central America, showing how each side of this religious divide operated from within a self-conscious intercontinental network of like-minded Catholics. For its central protagonists, the era's crisis of sovereignty provided a political stage for a religious struggle. Drawing on ecclesiastical archives, pamphlets, sermons, and tracts, For God and Liberty reveals how the violent struggles of decolonization and the period before and after Independence are more legible in light of the fault lines within the Church.
