Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Muslim preaching has been central in forming public opinion, building grassroots organizations, and developing leadership cadres for the wider Islamist agenda. Based on in-depth field research in Egypt, Patrick Gaffney focuses on the preacher and the sermon as the single most important medium for propounding the message of Islam. He draws on social history, political commentary, and theological sources to reveal the subtle connections between religious rhetoric and political dissent. Many of the sermons discussed were given during the rise of Islamic fundamentalism, and Gaffney attempts to describe this militant movement and to compare it with official Islam. Finally, Gaffney presents examples of the sermons, so readers can better understand the full range of contemporary Islamic expression.

Download or read book The Empty Pulpit written by Timothy Hawkins and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-10-20 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pastors serving for extended periods of time like leaders of Fortune 500 companies, should identify potential successors. Unfortunately, this does not happen. The leadership does not consider transition until it's too late, without an identified successor being groomed for the job. The congregation is then not prepared for the transition. Pastoral transition, especially in the African-American church, is approached with extreme reservation. Ministries that have the freedom to self-govern too often keep to themselves during times of transition, when resources beyond their walls could assist them in their seasons of change. The author identifies many of the causes of the present-day plague of empty pulpits across America and offers techniques to combat them.

Download or read book Criswell written by O. S. Hawkins and published by B&H Publishing Group. This book was released on 2024-04-02 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the name W. A. Criswell is read or heard, certain thoughts come to mind. Many likely remember him as a president of the Southern Baptist Convention, or the founder of the Criswell College in Dallas, Texas, or the senior pastor for five decades of one of the largest Baptist churches in America, or even one of the key figures during the Conservative Resurgence. All of these are acknowledgments of the importance of the life of Criswell, but these do not necessarily capture who he was as a man, as a husband, as a father, as a friend and mentor. O.S. Hawkins was closely mentored by Criswell and was his pastoral successor. In Criswell: His Life and Times, Hawkins takes on the task of capturing the life of one of the most important figures in modern Baptist history. He discusses his humble upbringing, the dedication of his parents to ensure he received a proper education, his early years as a pastor, and how his love for the church influenced those around him over the course of his life. It is a biography that is both admiring and honest, and written with the knowledge of someone who could only know Criswell as a friend and a mentor.

Download or read book Thoughtful Christianity written by Matthew C. Shrader and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2021-04-15 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Baptists in the nineteenth century grew from a small, struggling denomination to the second-largest Protestant denomination in America. They constructed conventions, schools, churches, and benevolent works. American Baptists transformed from cultural outsiders to insiders. Despite this growth in size, organization, and influence, there is surprisingly few attempts to understand them historically. This is even more true for Northern Baptists as opposed to their Southern counterparts, despite the fact that Northern Baptists, in many respects, were the theological leaders of the denomination. This raises questions about what their theology was, what it was rooted in, and how well it could handle the surplus of challenges that nineteenth-century religion threw at it. Chief among these were the challenges toward biblical and theological authority. Perhaps the brightest star of the Northern Baptist constellation, and doubtless the most well-connected, was Alvah Hovey from Newton Theological Institute in Newton Centre, Massachusetts. This book, the first book-length treatment of this Baptist giant since Hovey’s son published a biography in 1929, chronicles Hovey’s life and career focusing on how he coped with the challenges of biblical criticism and a rapidly changing theological context. Hovey produced a theology he understood as thoughtful Christianity.
