Download or read book The Collected Writings of Charles H Long written by Charles H. Long and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2018-02-22 with total page 883 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Charles H. Long is one of the most influential and pioneering scholars in the study of religion from the past 50 years. This is the first comprehensive collection of his writings, edited by Long himself, and contains 38 pieces, including both published and previously unpublished articles, lectures, an interview, and two book reviews. The foreword is provided by Jennifer Reid, a former student of Long. The collection is divided into four thematic parts: America and the Study of Religion; Theory and Method in the Study of Religion; African American Religion in the United States; Kindling, Embers and Sparks. Long's introduction provides much-awaited insight into his reflections on his work, expanding on questions that remained unanswered in his classic and influential text, Significations: Signs, Symbols and Images in the Interpretation of Images (1986). In particular, the new introductory essay explores the significance of “ellipses”, that which is omitted, the projected spaces of the Other in the study of religion. Considered the preeminent founder and advocate of the study of Black Religion, Long was exploring religion and colonialism and the importance of Afro-American religion as early as the 1960s and early 1970s, and this collection of his thinking – which moves across the formations of religious studies, African diasporic studies, and social and cultural theory – is a must-have addition for any institutional or personal library.
Download or read book With This Root about My Person written by Jennifer Reid and published by University of New Mexico Press. This book was released on 2020 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Charles H. Long's groundbreaking works on Africana religious studies serve as the backdrop to With This Root about My Person. The volume features twenty-six essays by a diverse group of students and scholars of Long. Revitalizing an interpretive framework rooted in the Chicago tradition, the essays in this volume vigorously debate the nature of religions in the Americas. In doing so they wrestle with the foundations of the study of religion that emerged out of the European Enlightenment, they engage the discipline's entrenchment in the conquest of the Americas, and they grapple with the field's legacy of colonialism. The book demonstrates tremendous breadth and depth of scope in its skillful comparative work on colonialism, which links the religions of the Americas, Melanesia, and Africa. This seminal work is an important addition to the Religions of the Americas Series and a valuable contribution to the field to which Charles H. Long has for so long been devoted.
Download or read book Religion written by David Chidester and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2018-04-20 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Religion: Material Dynamics is a lively resource for thinking about religious materiality and the material study of religion. Deconstructing and reconstructing religion as material categories, social formations, and mobile circulations, the book explores the making, ordering, and circulating of religious things. The book is divided into three sections: Part One revitalizes basic categories—animism and sacred, space and time—by situating them in their material production and testing their analytical viability. Part Two examines religious formations as configurations of power that operate in material cultures and cultural economies and are most clearly shown in the power relations of colonialism and imperialism. Part Three explores the material dynamics of circulation through case studies of religious mobility, change, and diffusion as intimate as the body and as vast as the oceans. Each chapter offers insightful orientations and surprising possibilities for studying material religion. Exploring the material dynamics of religion from poetics to politics, David Chidester provides an entry into the study of material religion that will be welcomed by students and specialists in religious studies, anthropology, and history.
Download or read book Speaking Hearing the Word of God A Speech Language Pathologist s Perspective written by Rodney Boyd and published by Wordcrafts Press. This book was released on 2015-08-19 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From 1993 until the present, author and Bible teacher Rodney Boyd has worked professionally as a Speech-Language Pathologist. His focus has been in the field of medical speech pathology, working primarily with adults who have language, cognitive, articulation, fluency, hearing and swallowing difficulties, among other challenges. Boyd discovered a wonderful correlation between the physical processes involved with natural communication, and hearing and speaking the Word of God. And he realized the things that impede the physical process of speaking and hearing, were often the very things that hinder the spiritual process of speaking and hearing the Word of God. Speaking & Hearing the Word of God is designed to show how God's Super can affect our Natural, and how our Natural can correlate with His Super.
Download or read book Through the Language Glass written by Guy Deutscher and published by Metropolitan Books. This book was released on 2010-08-31 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A masterpiece of linguistics scholarship, at once erudite and entertaining, confronts the thorny question of how—and whether—culture shapes language and language, culture Linguistics has long shied away from claiming any link between a language and the culture of its speakers: too much simplistic (even bigoted) chatter about the romance of Italian and the goose-stepping orderliness of German has made serious thinkers wary of the entire subject. But now, acclaimed linguist Guy Deutscher has dared to reopen the issue. Can culture influence language—and vice versa? Can different languages lead their speakers to different thoughts? Could our experience of the world depend on whether our language has a word for "blue"? Challenging the consensus that the fundaments of language are hard-wired in our genes and thus universal, Deutscher argues that the answer to all these questions is—yes. In thrilling fashion, he takes us from Homer to Darwin, from Yale to the Amazon, from how to name the rainbow to why Russian water—a "she"—becomes a "he" once you dip a tea bag into her, demonstrating that language does in fact reflect culture in ways that are anything but trivial. Audacious, delightful, and field-changing, Through the Language Glass is a classic of intellectual discovery.

I highly recommend this book for all Christians whether new or old in the faith. Long years in Christian ministry is no protection from feeling weak. David's book has awakened me. Thank you so much. You have encouraged me to press in to God again." By T&J in Oxon "Excellent, well written, yet simple easy to understand and also very stirring makes you want to put everything into practice straight away." By V. Clarke "Packed With Great Revelation. I truly was inspired. It is a very worthwhile read about this gift, and I do recommend it. Answers many questions." By Pooh Bear (Tokyo, Japan) "Typical David Lee Martin - Biblical & Practical. David obviously has a great prayer life. You just 'know it' from the way he writes on prayer. His approach is always Biblical and practical. He seems to get across the principles of what he is teaching and yet leaves room for each individuals own expression. His quotes from great men and women of God are much more than just a nice bonus with each one presenting its own challenge." By Bob Collard Speaking God's Language - A Guide To Speaking In Tongues is a spiritually charged practical guide to praying in tongues. Taking the Scriptures you will learn what the Bible teaches about the supernatural gift of speaking in tongues, and how you can unleash its power in your own life. Some call it glossolalia (the scientific term for this supernatural manifestation), but most often it is called speaking in tongues or praying in tongues. Whatever you call it, it is a very real, and very powerful, reality in the everyday lives of literally multitudes of believers in Jesus Christ. maybe you are one of them? maybe you just want to find out more about this 'strange' supernatural occurrence. Maybe you want to speak in tongues yourself. Whichever one of these is true of you, Speaking God's language contains answers that you have been looking for. Praying in tongues remains one of the most powerful, practical and helpful gifts that God has ever given, and when understood and appreciated for all that the Scriptures teach us about it, can be utilised to engage spiritually on many levels; we pray to build our own personal spirit life, and to be refreshed in our inner man; we also speak in tongues to pray for others, and release prophetic anointing and destiny into our circumstances - and those of our cities and nations. This one gift alone is packed with enough power to turn the world upside down! Maybe this is why the devil resists it so consistently. I encourage you to grab hold of the principles in this booklet, and apply them in your own pursuit of God. As James encourages us in his letter to the Church: "...the effective, fervent prayers of righteous men and women avail much, making tremendous power available (dynamic in its working)." James 5:14, Amplified Be blessed as you read.

Download or read book The Anarchy of Black Religion written by J. Kameron Carter and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2023-07-03 with total page 123 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Anarchy of Black Religion, J. Kameron Carter examines the deeper philosophical, theological, and religious history that animates our times to advance a new approach to understanding religion. Drawing on the black radical tradition and black feminism, Carter explores the modern invention of religion as central to settler colonial racial technologies wherein antiblackness is a founding and guiding religious principle of the modern world. He therefore sets black religion apart from modern religion, even as it tries to include and enclose it. Carter calls this approach the black study of religion. Black religion emerges not as doctrinal, confessional, or denominational but as a set of poetic and artistic strategies for improvisatory living and gathering. Potentiating non-exclusionary belonging, black religion is anarchic, mystical, and experimental: it reveals alternative relationalities and visions of matter that can counter capitalism’s extractive, individualistic, and imperialist ideology. By enacting a black study of religion, Carter elucidates the violence of religion as the violence of modern life while also opening an alternate praxis of the sacred.

This is another chapter in the entity's evolution toward the light.

It is sixteen hundred and forty two and white man's expansion is in full throttle.

It is at that moment to let this tale sink its fangs into your most vulnerable parts.

More and more Americans are encountering neighbors, friends, coworkers, and even political leaders who are aligned with one of the many varieties of American Pentecostalism.

Robins offers an accessible survey of Pentecostalism in the United States, providing a clear, nontechnical introduction and making this complex and rapidly changing movement comprehensible to the general reader. A historical approach to the topic is presented, guiding the reader through the theological, social, and liturgical variants within American Pentecostalism and its major branches, organizations, and institutions; the movement's relation to its offspring; as well as how Pentecostal groups compare to parallel movements in contemporary American Christianity.
