Download or read book Becoming America s Religion written by Gary L. Matthews and published by . This book was released on 2009-09-01 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is the Bah' Faith becoming "America's religion"? A thoughtful Southern Baptist minister finds this prospect suddenly real, and edging steadily closer. Writing for the Baptist Press News, Rev. Mark Coppenger notes Bah' gains on such diverse fronts as world peace, race unity, women's rights, the environment and many more. He shows how the Faith's principles, born in 19th-century Persia, mesh with modern ideals, while its high moral standards place it on firmer footing than more permissive movements. In this grateful response, Bah' author Gary L. Matthews applauds the reverend's analysis on all counts but one - his view of Bah' theology as "decidedly non-Christian." For in reality Bah's defend the divine inspiration of the Gospel while affirming the Sonship, Lordship and Divinity of Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, resurrection, second coming and saving grace. Matthews explains the Bah' Revelation as a renewal of scriptural Christianity and the fulfillment of its millennial prophecies. Which view is correct? You decide! The starting point is here, in this gracious yet candid exchange between a Baptist and a Bah' - two committed believers in the Bible, differing in their interpretations, yet united in their love for the mission and message of Jesus.

Download or read book Christian Russia in the Making written by Andrzej Poppe and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-05-31 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present collection of studies by Andrzej Poppe in many ways represents a continuation of the research brought together a quarter century ago in the author's previous Variorum volume. The focal themes are the political circumstances of the 'baptism of Russia' and the processes by which Rus' became a Christian country, an era marked by the emergence of indigenous saints in royal and monastic garb. Relations with the Byzantine world, both political and ecclesiastical, are often to the fore, but as Poppe shows, those with the West, from the Carolingians onwards, were important too. Many of the articles are provided with additional notes, and the volume includes three pieces previously unpublished in English, including an introductory survey of the Rurikid dynasty, and a major new study of the process by which Vladimir the Great became a saint.

Download or read book Why I Am a Salafi written by Michael Muhammad Knight and published by Catapult. This book was released on 2015-08-01 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Salafi movement invests supreme Islamic authority in the precedents of the Salaf, the first three generations of Muslims, who represent a “Golden Age” from which all subsequent eras can only decline. In Why I Am a Salafi, Michael Muhammad Knight confronts the problem of origins, questioning the possibility of accessing pure Islam through its canonical texts. Why I Am a Salafi is also a confrontation of Knight’s own origins as a Muslim. Reconsidering Salafism, Knight explores the historical processes that informed Islam as he once knew it, having converted to a Salafi vision of Islam in 1994. In the decades since, he has drifted away from Salafism in favor of an alternative Islam that celebrates the freaks, misfits, and heretical innovators. What happens to Islam when everything’s up for grabs, and can an anything-goes Islam allow space for reputedly intolerant Salafism? In Why I Am a Salafi, Knight explores not only Salafism’s valorization of the origins, but takes the Salafi project further than its advocates are willing to go, and reflects upon the consequences of surrendering the origins forever.
