Download or read book A History of Christianity in Indonesia written by Jan Sihar Aritonang and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2008 with total page 1021 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Indonesia is the home of the largest single Muslim community of the world. Its Christian community, about 10% of the population, has until now received no overall description in English. Through cooperation of 26 Indonesian and European scholars, Protestants and Catholics, a broad and balanced picture is given of its 24 million Christians. This book sketches the growth of Christianity during the Portuguese period (1511-1605), it presents a fair account of developments under the Dutch colonial administration (1605-1942) and is more elaborate for the period of the Indonesian Republic (since 1945). It emphasizes the regional differences in this huge country, because most Christians live outside the main island of Java. Muslim-Christian relations, as well as the tensions between foreign missionaries and local theology, receive special attention.

Download or read book Studies in Christian Biography written by Samuel Osgood and published by . This book was released on 2016-06-13 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Studies in Christian Biography: Or Hours With Theologians and Reformers Tar: purpose of this volume is very little ambitious, and its story is soon told. Some years since, the author had reason to believe that the study of Christian history was much neg Iected, and that he might be of service, especially to the young people of his parish, by calling attention to the lives and labors of the leaders of Christian thought and action. He was thus led to accumulate a considerable amount of biographical material, which was used from time to time for various occasions, and presented now in fire-side conversations and familiar addresses, and now in more elaborate lectures and reviews. What meets a want in one quarter may do the same elsewhere, and at the suggestion of several friends this volume is now published.

Download or read book The Travail of Religious Liberty written by Roland H. Bainton and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2008-09-01 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The pages of history are filled with stories of men and women burned at the stake, exiled, and ostracized in the name of religion. Thus Roland Bainton explains the struggle within the Christian Church to achieve religious liberty by telling, in popular biographical style, nine stories of sincere people--both persecutors and persecuted--who took part in the struggle. Bainton's biographies begin with Thomas of Torquemada, instrument of the Roman Catholic Inquisition, and with John Calvin who active in the burning of Michael Servetus. He then covers how such persecution brought about the toleration controversy of the sixteenth century, when SŽbastian Castellio struck his blow for religious liberty, when Hollander David Joris made a mystical approach to tolerance, and when Franciscan Bernardino Ochino believed in the cultivation of the inner life. Finally he concentrates on the champions of religious liberty in the 17th Century: John Milton, Roger Williams and John Locke.
Download or read book Christianity The Biography written by Ian J Shaw and published by Inter-Varsity Press. This book was released on 2016-10-20 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christianity: the Biography charts the life-story of Christianity from its birth and infancy among a handful of followers of Jesus Christ, through its years of development into a global religious movement, spanning continents and cultures, transcending educational and social backgrounds, with over two billion adherents. Ian Shaw offers an introductory orientation to the richness of the Christian tradition and its heritage around the world. This outline of the major phases, developments, movements, and personalities in Christianity’s life story over the two millennia is necessarily painted on a broad canvas. It is designed to open the subject up for more detailed study. As well as covering the well-trodden ground of the history of Christianity in the West, it also has a special concern for the story from the non-Western world. Christianity: the Biography encourages reflection on the lessons to be learned from the past, and seeks to avoid the tendency to draw a distinction between matters of faith or theology and history. Opening up Christianity’s biography should deepen theological understanding and build faith, and inspire a longing to meet the One behind the story. ‘What an original idea. Ian Shaw has presented the current scholarship in church history in a very engaging way. I hope this book is widely read... An absolutely outstanding volume!’ Ian Randall, Senior Research Fellow, Spurgeon’s College

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Studies in Christian History The present volume is intended as a contribution to the history of the development of Christianity, or, assuming its supernatural origin, it endeavours to trace wherein it was modified by the different influences with which from time to time it came in contact. If Christianity was not to remain a mere theory, but was to become a living and acting influence among mankind, to such modifications it must inevitably submit. Other religions have perished through adhering rigidly to some exclusive formula or idea, in process of time outgrown. Christianity has triumphed by incorporating whatever truth and goodness were to be found in preceding systems. Some find the pure age of Christianity only in its infancy, others foresee its greatest triumph in ages yet to come; and in both views there may be truth. Its highest development will assuredly only manifest the power and promise which have been in it from the beginning.
