This book was released on 2006 with total page 730 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first scholarly treatment of nineteenth-century Christianity to discuss the subject in a global context. Part I analyses the responses of Catholic and Protestant Christianity to the intellectual and social challenges presented by European modernity. It gives attention to the explosion of new voluntary forms of Christianity and the expanding role of women in religious life. Part II surveys the diverse and complex relationships between the churches and nationalism, resulting in fundamental changes to the connections between church and state. Part III examines the varied fortunes of Christianity as it expanded its historic bases in Asia and Africa, established itself for the first time in Australasia, and responded to the challenges and opportunities of the European colonial era. Each chapter has a full bibliography providing guidance on further reading.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Influence of Christianity, Vol. 8: On the Vocabulary of Old English No one of the above cited authors had, to my mind, treated the theme anything like as exhaustively as the subject demanded. In the lists of words and expressions cited it was often hard to see precisely wherein the influence of Christianity consisted; and the reader was forced to a continual use of the dictionary to supply the deficiency. Furthermore no trace of an exposition of the historical development of a word or expression within the language in question was to be observed; in short the entire treatment seemed to me much too brief and rudimentary. Starting out with the intention of reading only the more important anglo-saxon monuments, I soon found it desirable for even a tolerably complete presentation of my subject to include within the scope of the investigation every work of any importance in the language. This, of course, much ih creased the bulk of preparatory work. I had hoped to complete the whole as a dissertation; but have been compelled by the increased amount of the materials collected to abandon this purpose and publish at the present a work equal to about one third of the entire undertaking. I trust to be enabled at a future date to complete the remaining parts of the work. Part I. Discusses the Church in its entirety; i. E. Treats all words and expressions relating to the divisions of the human race, the departed members of the Church, secular and monastic clergy, ecclesiastical dress and revenues, ecclesiastical edifices, holy times and seasons, divine service, and the Bible. Part II. Will discuss belief and whatsoever is connected there with; e. G. Various religious conceptions and abstract ideas, God, the Trinity, philosophical notions of the world, sin, penance, confession, etc. For the second part much material has already been collected. It has not been found advisable to treat prose and poetry separately, there being too few variations in the poetic usage from that of the prose; where such occur they have been noted.

Download or read book The Cambridge History of Christianity written by Augustine Casiday and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2014-07-31 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume in the Cambridge History of Christianity presents the 'Golden Age' of patristic Christianity. After episodes of persecution by the Roman government, Christianity emerged as a licit religion enjoying imperial patronage and eventually became the favoured religion of the empire. The articles in this volume discuss the rapid transformation of Christianity during late antiquity, giving specific consideration to artistic, social, literary, philosophical, political, inter-religious and cultural aspects. The volume moves away from simple dichotomies and reductive schematizations (e.g., 'heresy v. orthodoxy') toward an inclusive description of the diverse practices and theories that made up Christianity at this time. Whilst proportional attention is given to the emergence of the Great Church within the Roman Empire, other topics are treated as well - such as the development of Christian communities outside the empire.

Download or read book The Cambridge History of Christianity Volume 4 Christianity in Western Europe c 1100 c 1500 written by Miri Rubin and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2014-07-31 with total page 1004 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the early middle ages, Europe developed complex and varied Christian cultures, and from about 1100 secular rulers, competing factions and inspired individuals continued to engender a diverse and ever-changing mix within Christian society. This volume explores the wide range of institutions, practices and experiences associated with the life of European Christians in the later middle ages. The clergy of this period initiated new approaches to the role of priests, bishops and popes, and developed an ambitious project to instruct the laity. For lay people, the practices of parish religion were central, but many sought additional ways to enrich their lives as Christians. Impulses towards reform and renewal periodically swept across Europe, led by charismatic preachers and supported by secular rulers. This book provides accessible accounts of these complex historical processes and entices the reader towards further enquiry.
