Download or read book The History of Christianity in Britain and Ireland written by Gerald Bray and published by Inter-Varsity Press. This book was released on 2021-06-17 with total page 821 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history of Britain and Ireland is incomprehensible without an understanding of the Christian faith that has shaped it. Introduced when the nations of these islands were still in their infancy, Christianity has provided the framework for their development from the beginning. Gerald Bray's comprehensive overview demonstrates the remarkable creativity and resilience of Christianity in Britain and Ireland. Through the ages, it has adapted to the challenges of presenting the gospel of Christ to different generations in a variety of circumstances. As a result, it is at once a recognizable offshoot of the universal church and a world of its own. It has also profoundly affected the notable spread of Christianity worldwide in recent times. Although historians have done much to explain the details of how the church has evolved separately in England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales, a synthesis of the whole has rarely been attempted. Yet the story of one nation cannot be understood properly without involving the others; so, Gerald Bray sets individual narratives in an overarching framework. Accessible to a general readership, The History of Christianity in Britain and Ireland draws on current scholarship to serve as a reference work for students of both history and theology.
Download or read book History of Christianity written by Paul Johnson and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2012-03-27 with total page 816 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1976, Paul Johnson’s exceptional study of Christianity has been loved and widely hailed for its intensive research, writing, and magnitude—“a tour de force, one of the most ambitious surveys of the history of Christianity ever attempted and perhaps the most radical” (New York Review of Books). In a highly readable companion to books on faith and history, the scholar and author Johnson has illuminated the Christian world and its fascinating history in a way that no other has. Johnson takes off in the year AD 49 with his namesake the apostle Paul. Thus beginning an ambitious quest to paint the centuries since the founding of a little-known ‘Jesus Sect’, A History of Christianity explores to a great degree the evolution of the Western world. With an unbiased and overall optimistic tone, Johnson traces the fantastic scope of the consequent sects of Christianity and the people who followed them. Information drawn from extensive and varied sources from around the world makes this history as credible as it is reliable. Invaluable understanding of the framework of modern Christianity—and its trials and tribulations throughout history—has never before been contained in such a captivating work.
Download or read book A History of Christianity in England written by E.O. James and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-06-30 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1949, A History of Christianity in England is a kaleidoscopic view of the religious situation in England for readers and students who wish to eventually take it up as a serious study. The author asserts that the influence of the Church and the State in the development of the English national life and character has also led to the growth of a unique English Christianity. English religion appears neither completely Catholic, properly Protestant nor consistently Liberal, rendering itself an enigma. The author believes that the confusion of its various discordant parts can be resolved by situating English Christianity within a historical continuum. This book will be of interest to students of theology, history and Christianity.

Download or read book The Beginnings of Christianity in Britain written by Harvey Gardner and published by Dog Ear Publishing. This book was released on 2010-11 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It was during the year A.D.36 in Jerusalem that fourteen little known disciples of Jesus Christ were arrested because they were attempting to spread the word of God. The group were forced into a small boat without sails or oars and set adrift to die in the Mediterranean Sea. Instead they made a miraculous journey to France and thence to a small town named Avalon in England. The disciple's leader was Joseph of Arimathea. Prior to becoming one of Jesus' foremost disciples, Joseph was a very powerful man. He exercised complete control over the tin and lead industries of that time. Before his arrival at Avalon he had already established close ties with one of the British tribal kings in the area. But Joseph's only interest now was to spread the Word of God as he had been taught by his nephew, Jesus. He and his fellow disciples began by converting the local royal families from their Druidic faith into Chrisianity. New author, Harvey Gardner, has had a love affair with airplanes since childhood. Following collage graduation, he started his aircraft career as a design engineer with a major aircraft corporation. The latter part of his working life saw him traveling the world teaching customers in foreign countries how to maintain and operate the fighter-bombers that their countries had purchased from the U.S. He and his wife spent three wonderful years living and working in Iran. They established a warm relationship with one of Harvey's young students, and the relationship blossomed into touring and camping trips around the country. They were also treated like family during special Iranian holidays. While in Iran they tried to introduce the Iranians to their hobby, square dancing, but the only Iranians that showed up were men; they came for the sole purpose of ogling western females. Harvey's interest in things biblical stems from his life-long church affiliation.
Download or read book Dominion written by Tom Holland and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2019-10-29 with total page 624 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A "marvelous" (Economist) account of how the Christian Revolution forged the Western imagination. Crucifixion, the Romans believed, was the worst fate imaginable, a punishment reserved for slaves. How astonishing it was, then, that people should have come to believe that one particular victim of crucifixion-an obscure provincial by the name of Jesus-was to be worshipped as a god. Dominion explores the implications of this shocking conviction as they have reverberated throughout history. Today, the West remains utterly saturated by Christian assumptions. As Tom Holland demonstrates, our morals and ethics are not universal but are instead the fruits of a very distinctive civilization. Concepts such as secularism, liberalism, science, and homosexuality are deeply rooted in a Christian seedbed. From Babylon to the Beatles, Saint Michael to #MeToo, Dominion tells the story of how Christianity transformed the modern world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the city of Calais, on the northern coast of France, one may look over the water on a clear day and see the white cliffs of Dover, in England. At this point the English Channel is only twenty-one miles wide. But this narrow water has dangerous currents, and often fierce winds sweep over it, so that small ships find it hard to cross. This rough Channel has more than once spoiled the plans of England's enemies, and the English people have many times thanked God for their protecting seas.
