Download or read book Ghetto Religiosity 2000 written by Khalil Amani and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2000 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ghetto Religiosity 2000 is the first of a three-part series. It is the result of Mr. Amani's many years of study and disillusionment with organized religion. Often angry and filled with ebonics and gangsta language, the author's quest is to reach those who have been removed from religion... those of us who have seen the church and the preacher manipulate the laity for their own selfish filthy lucre. If you're looking to read a watered-down "Jesus loves the world" text, this is not for you! This book is a hardcore, tellin'-it-like-it-is, new-jack, diatribe on the errors of Judeo-Christian Thought. WHO SHALL MAKE IT PLAIN? WHO SHALL TEACH THE YOUTH? WHO SHALL SET THEM FREE? —Khalil Amani, a religious gangsta Khalil Amani is a native of Miami, Florida where he was baptized at the age of seven into the Baptist Church. After high school, Khalil was introduced to Black Nationalism, fraternal brotherhood, Freemasonry, the Nation of Islam, and the Five Percent Nation. None of these held his attention until he was introduced to the Nation of Yahweh where he joined and quickly rose to the rank of Elder. By age 23, Khalil headed the Temple of Yahweh in Newark, New Jersey. After five years and the realization that he was part of a murderous cult, headed by a man claiming to be God, he left the sect in search of his identity and the true meaning of religion. Left spiritually devastated by this experience, Khalil resorted to the street-life where he indulged in every vice, from selling drugs to becoming an exotic dancer to stick-up man to womanizer. Finally, Khalil became the "Unofficial Spokesman" for ex-members of the Yahweh cult and testified against the man he once called father. For this he had to enter the Witness Protection Program. This brotha has been through some sect! At the University of Nebraska at Omaha, he majored in Black Studies and Religion and graduated from San Diego Mesa College, San Diego, California with a degree in English.

Download or read book The Anti Gospel written by Edward Hendrie and published by Great Mountain Publishing. This book was released on 2012-03-19 with total page 494 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Edward Hendrie uses God’s word to strip the sheep’s clothing from false Christian ministers and expose them as ravening wolves preaching an anti-gospel. The anti-gospel is based on a myth that all men have a will that is free from the bondage of sin to choose whether to believe in Jesus. The Holy Bible, however, states that all men are spiritually dead and cannot believe in Jesus unless they are born again of the Holy Spirit. Ephesians 2:1-7; John 3:3-8. God has chosen his elect to be saved by his grace through faith in Jesus Christ. Ephesians 1:3-9; 2:8-10. God imbues his elect with the faith needed to believe in Jesus. Hebrews 12:2; John 1:12-13. The devil’s false gospel contradicts the word of God and reverses the order of things. Under the anti-gospel, instead of a sovereign God choosing his elect, sovereign man decides whether to choose God. The calling of the Lord Jesus Christ is effectual; all who are chosen for salvation will believe in Jesus. John 6:37-44. The anti-gospel has a false Jesus, who only offers the possibility of salvation, with no assurance. The anti-gospel blasphemously makes God out to be a liar by denying the total depravity of man and the sovereign election of God. All who preach that false gospel are under a curse from God. Galatians 1:6-9.

Download or read book Understanding the Fourth Gospel written by John Ashton and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2007-04-27 with total page 608 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this fully revised new edition of a pioneering study of John's gospel, John Ashton explores fresh topics and takes account of the latest scholarly debates. Ashton argues first that the thought-world of the gospel is Jewish, not Greek, and secondly that the text is many-layered, not simple, and composed over an extended period as the evangelist responded to the changing situation of the community he was addressing. Ashton seeks to provide new and coherent answers to what Rudolf Bultmann called the two great riddles of the gospel: its position in the development of Christian thought and its central or governing idea. In arguing that the first of these should be concerned rather with Jewish thought Ashton offers a partial answer to the most important and fascinating of all the questions confronted by New Testament scholarship: how did Christianity emerge from Judaism? Bultmann's second riddle is exegetical, and concerns the message of the book. Ashton's answer highlights a generally neglected feature of the gospel's concept of revelation: its debt to Jewish apocalyptic.

The aim of this examination is to ascertain what a Hip Hop theology of community might entail, how it may look, and what it could feel like.

This study concerns itself with just over 8,500 songs. Its timespan is between 1987-2011, and it contains interviews from those in the Hip Hop community.

Download or read book Decolonizing Contemporary Gospel Music Through Praxis written by Robert Beckford and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2023-08-24 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is contemporary Black British gospel music a coloniality? What theological message is really conveyed in these songs? In this book, Robert Beckford shows how the Black British contemporary gospel music tradition is in crisis because its songs continue to be informed by colonial Christian ideas about God. Beckford explores the failure of both African and African Caribbean heritage Churches to Decolonise their faith, especially the doctrine of God, biblical interpretation and Black ontology. This predicament has left song leaders, musicians and songwriters with a reservoir of ideas that aim to disavow engagement with the social-historical world, black Biblical interpretation and the necessity of loving blackness. This book is decolonisation through praxis. Reflecting on the conceptual social justice album 'The Jamaican Bible Remix' (2017) as a communicative resource, Beckford shows how to develop production tools to inscribe decolonial theological thought onto Black British music(s). The outcome of this process is the creation of a decolonial contemporary gospel music genre. The impact of the album is demonstrated through case studies in national and international contexts.

Download or read book A Gospel for the Poor written by David C. Kirkpatrick and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2019-04-11 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1974, the International Congress on World Evangelization met in Lausanne, Switzerland. Gathering together nearly 2,500 Protestant evangelical leaders from more than 150 countries and 135 denominations, it rivaled Vatican II in terms of its influence. But as David C. Kirkpatrick argues in A Gospel for the Poor, the Lausanne Congress was most influential because, for the first time, theologians from the Global South gained a place at the table of the world's evangelical leadership—bringing their nascent brand of social Christianity with them. Leading up to this momentous occasion, after World War II, there emerged in various parts of the world an embryonic yet discernible progressive coalition of thinkers who were embedded in global evangelical organizations and educational institutions such as the InterVarsity Christian Fellowship, the International Fellowship of Evangelical Students, and the International Fellowship of Evangelical Mission Theologians. Within these groups, Latin Americans had an especially strong voice, for they had honed their theology as a religious minority, having defined it against two perceived ideological excesses: Marxist-inflected Catholic liberation theology and the conservative political loyalties of the U.S. Religious Right. In this context, transnational conversations provoked the rise of progressive evangelical politics, the explosion of Christian mission and relief organizations, and the infusion of social justice into the very mission of evangelicals around the world and across a broad spectrum of denominations. Drawing upon bilingual interviews and archives and personal papers from three continents, Kirkpatrick adopts a transnational perspective to tell the story of how a Cold War generation of progressive Latin Americans, including seminal figures such as Ecuadorian René Padilla and Peruvian Samuel Escobar, developed, named, and exported their version of social Christianity to an evolving coalition of global evangelicals.
