Download or read book Le protestantisme en Suisse romande written by Bernard Reymond and published by Labor et Fides. This book was released on 1999 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La 4e de couverture indique : " La Suisse romande est un des berceaux du protestantisme. Son influence y est réelle encore aujourd'hui, quand bien même ses expressions institutionnelles sont actuellement en crise. Le protestantisme est repérable dans le paysage, les arts, la littérature, les institutions sociales ou l'économie. Il a suscité une civilisation originale dans le monde francophone et il cherche aujourd'hui un nouveau souffle en réfléchissant à son identité: la prédication, les convictions, la culture biblique, la spiritualité et la communication. De Töpffer à Denis de Rougemont, de la Croix-Bleue à la Croix-Rouge, des chalets d'alpage aux institutions bancaires, le protestantisme existe, le Suisse romand le rencontre tous les jours."
Download or read book The Protestant International and the Huguenot Migration to Virginia written by David E. Lambert and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2010 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1700, King William III assigned Charles de Sailly to accompany Huguenot refugees to Manakin Town on the Virginia frontier. The existing explanation for why this migration was necessary is overly simplistic and seriously conflated. Based largely on English-language sources with an English Atlantic focus, it contends that King William III, grateful to the French Protestant refugees who helped him invade England during the Glorious Revolution (1688) and win victory in Ireland (1691), rewarded these refugees by granting them 10,000 acres in Virginia on which to settle. Using French-language sources and a wider, more European focus than existing interpretations, this book offers an alternative explanation. It delineates a Huguenot refugee resettlement network within a «Protestant International», highlighting the patronage of both King William himself and his valued Huguenot associate, Henri de Ruvigny (Lord Galway). By 1700, King William was politically battered by the interwoven pressures of an English reaction against his high-profile foreign favorites (Galway among them) and the Irish land grants he had awarded to close colleagues (to Galway and others). This book asserts that King William and Lord Galway sponsored the Manakin Town migration to provide an alternate location for Huguenot military refugees in the worst-case scenario that they might lose their Irish refuge.

Download or read book Un Believing in Modern Society written by Dr Jörg Stolz and published by Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.. This book was released on 2016-01-28 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This landmark study in the sociology of religion sheds new light on the question of what has happened to religion and spirituality since the 1960s in modern societies. Exposing several analytical weaknesses of today’s sociology of religion, (Un)Believing in Modern Society presents a new theory of religious-secular competition and a new typology of ways of being religious/secular. The authors draw on a specific European society (Switzerland) as their test case, using both quantitative and qualitative methodologies to show how the theory can be applied. Identifying four ways of being religious/secular in a modern society: 'institutional', 'alternative', 'distanced' and 'secular' they show how and why these forms have emerged as a result of religious-secular competition and describe in what ways all four forms are adapted to the current, individualized society.

Download or read book Islamic Reformism and Christianity written by Umar Ryad and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2009 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No previous full-scale study has been undertaken so far to study the polemical writings of the Muslim reformist Muòhammad Rashåid Riòdåa (1865-1935) and his associates in his well-known journal al-Manåar (The Lighthouse). The book focuses on the dynamicsof Muslim understanding of Christianity during the late 19th and the early 20th century in the light of al-Manåar's sources of knowledge, and its answers to the social, political and theological aspects of missionary movements in the Muslim World of Riòdåa's age. The basis of the analysis encompasses the voluminous publications by Riòdåa and other Manåarists in his journal. Besides, it makes use of newly-discovered materials, including Riòdåa's private papers, and some other remaining personal archives of some of his associates.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: D’où vient la frontière entre Jura sud et Jura nord ? Pourquoi le train Yverdon-Sainte-Croix ne circulait-il pas le dimanche ? Depuis quand le Conseil oecuménique des Églises est-il installé à Genève ? Qu’est-ce qui lie les Dames de Morges à la communauté de Grandchamp? Pourquoi peut-on faire ses courses à Bulle le lundi du Jeûne ? D’où venait le bois utilisé pour construire la chapelle des Mayens de Sion ? Pourquoi Henri Druey, James Fazy et Alexis-Marie Piaget ont-ils nationalisé les Églises réformées ? Cet ouvrage répond à ces questions, à d’autres que vous vous posez, à celles que vous n’osez pas imaginer. Il vous mène du premier culte célébré en 1526 par Farel jusqu’au synode de l’Église réformée évangélique de Suisse en 2020. Il vous conduit d’Aigle à Porrentruy, à Saxon, à Morat, aux Ponts-de-Martel, à Corgémont ou à Genève. Il offre une vision panoramique et détaillée de chacun des six siècles de l’histoire protestante dans les sept cantons suisses francophones ou bilingues. Il met en lumière six fortes personnalités — trois hommes et trois femmes —, six beaux gestes, mais aussi six grandes hontes du protestantisme romand.

Download or read book Sociologie Et Religions written by Liliane Voyé and published by Leuven University Press. This book was released on 1999 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What are the relations between sociology and the different religions--Christianity with its various branches, Judaism, Islam, Oriental religions, sects and New Religious Movements? That is the question which this work, conceived on the occasion of the XXVth Conference of the International Society for the Sociology of Religion/Société Internationale de Sociologie des Religions (SISR), wishes to clarify.The book retraces the varied and troubled history of these relations and also reveals how in opening up its research to other religions besides the Christian, sociology is forced to redefine the very object of its field of study. What is the religious? This question, which until recently was considered impertinent, informs this book throughout.If confronts the necessity of rethinking theories and methodological approaches which, constructed in the context of 19th and early 20th century Western Europe, prove to be rather inadequate for encompassing contemporary religious phenomena and religious manifestations in other contexts. To these new theoretical and methodological demands is added, for the sociologist, a deontological imperative, which takes on all the more importance today as the religious provokes passionate social debate.
