Download or read book The Beginnings of Christianity written by Howard Clark Kee and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2005-11-22 with total page 511 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To understand the historical beginnings of Christianity requires one not only to examine the documents that the movement produced, but also to scrutinize other evidence-historical, literary, and archaeological-that can illumine the socio-cultural context in which Christianity began and how it responded to the influences that derived from that setting. This involves not only analysis of the readily accessible content of the relevant literary evidence, but also attention to the world-views and assumptions about reality that are inherent in these documents and other phenomena that have survived from this period. Attention to the roles of leadership and the modes of formation of social identity in Judaism and the continuing influence of these developments as Christianity began to take shape is important for historical analysis. Distinguished New Testament scholar Kee performs such readings of the texts and communities in this dazzling study of early Christian origins. In methodological terms, the historical study of Christian Origins in all its diversity must involve three different modes of analysis: (1) epistemological, (2) sociological, and (3) eschatological. The first concerns the way in which knowledge and communication of it were perceived. The second seeks to discern the way in which the community or tradition preserving and conveying this information defined its group identity and its shared values and aims. The third focuses on the way in which the group understood and affirmed its ultimate destiny and that of its members in the purpose of God. These factors are interrelated, and features of one mode of perception strongly influence details of the others, but it is useful to consider each of them in its own category in order to discern with greater precision the specific historical features of the spectrum of facets which appear in the evidence that has survived concerning the origins of Christianity.

Download or read book The Building of Christendom written by Warren Hasty Carroll and published by Christendom Press. This book was released on 1987 with total page 632 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The second of a projected six volumes, this carries the story of the building of a Christian civilization in Europe from the conversion of Roman Emperor Constantine in the fourth century to the end of the First Crusade. Christ and His Church remain at the center of the story and the key to judging the significance and character of the events described. However, this is more than a history of the Church; it is a political and religious history of Christendom as shaped by the Church - by lay men and women as well as Popes, bishops, priests, monks and nuns - during eight dramatic centuries when Rome fell, Muslims and barbarians attacked Christian Europe, and a new civilization was born.

Download or read book The Crisis of Christendom written by Warren Hasty Carroll and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This final volume on the history of Christendom is concerned with the crises of the modern era, the turning points in the diseases which plagued humanity during these two centuries. The book discusses in detail Nazi and Japanese militarism and its crisis in World War II, the damage caused by the inhuman system of communism and its fall in 1989, and the origins and consequences of the denial of the dignity of the human person in the modern culture of death. As did earlier volumes in this series, the book reflects an unabashedly Christian and Catholic view of history, taking as one of its major themes the centrality of the papacy to the destiny of the West. Carroll holds that God and individual men and women, not impersonal social and economic forces, make history.--

Download or read book The Division of Christendom written by Hans Joachim Hillerbrand and published by Presbyterian Publishing Corp. This book was released on 2007-01-01 with total page 519 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: InThe Division of Christendom, revered historian Hans J. Hillerbrand details the events and ideas of the sixteenth century and contends that the Protestant Reformation must be seen as an interplay of religious, political, and economic forces in which religion played a major role. Hillerbrand tells the fascinating story of the ways in which theological disagreements divided the centuries-old Christian church and the roles that leading characters such as Luther, Zwingli, Anabaptists, and Calvin played in establishing new churches, even as Roman Catholicism continued to develop in its own ways. The book covers all significant aspects of this period and interprets these important events in their own context while reflecting on the consequences of the Reformation for later periods and for today.
