Download or read book The Martyrs of C rdoba written by Jessica A. Coope and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 1995-01-01 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between 850 and 859 (Christian Era), the Muslim government of Csrdoba ordered the execution of forty-eight Christians. With few exceptions, these Christians invited execution by committing capital offenses: some appeared before the Muslim authorities to denounce Mohammed; others, Christian children of mixed Islamic-Christian marriages, publicly proclaimed their Christianity. Coope investigates the origins of this "martyrs' movement" in Csrdoba, then flourishing as a center of Islamic culture. She cites the fears of radical Christians that conversions to Islam were on the increase and that still more Christians were being assimilated into Arab Muslim culture. These fears were well-founded, and the executions further divided Cordovan Christians: some believed the executed to be martyrs, others argued that these were not martyrs but fanatics and troublemakers. For their part, the Muslim authorities, disposed to be tolerant, would have preferred sectarian peace; the martyrs were given every opportunity to recant. Using Christian sources (particularly the hagiographies of St. Eulogius) and Arabic accounts to understand the complex tensions in Muslim Spain between and among the Muslim majority and Christian minority, Coope presents a valuable and fresh view of this society at the apogee of al-Andalus, Muslim Spain. Jessica A. Coope is an assistant professor of history at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.

Download or read book The Spanish Civil War as a Religious Tragedy written by José Mariano Sánchez and published by University of Notre Dame Press. This book was released on 1987 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Spanish Civil War was one of the most passionate idealogical conflicts of modern times. It was the greatest and last struggle between traditional Catholicism and liberal secularism. To many, religion became the most divisive issue of the war, the single problem that distinguished one fraction from another. The Spanish Civil War as a Religious Tragedy is the first full-length comprehensive study of the religious dimension of the Spanish conflict. Drawing on memoirs, eye-witness accounts, the religious press of the period, and a thorough reading of secondary literature, José M. Sánchez objectively examines the events, issues, attitudes, and effects of the war and corrects the mythology that has grown up around the topic. Especially vivid is Sánchez's account of the anticlerical fury in which nearly 7,000 clerics were killed, thousands of churches burned and destroyed, countless lay-persons assassinated, and the entire cultural ethic of Spanish Catholicism set upon an iconoclastic bloodletting worse than any other in the history of Christianity. The clergy's offering of pastoral and idealogical support to Franco's Nationalists as a response to the fury is also examined. Sánchez then focuses on the complexities of the Basques - an intensely Catholic people who made common cause with the anticlerical Republicans. He explores the Vatican's policy toward both sides, and analyzes the theological and moral controversy over the justice of the war as fought in the journals and the press, both in Spain and abroad. Finally, he investigates the controversies as they affected Catholics in France, England, and the United States, and concludes with an evaluation of the war's impact upon the religious consciousness of Spain, the Church, and the western world.

Book excerpt: Between 1936 and 1939 a brutal civil war engulfed Spain, one which pitted a bloodthirsty coalition of communist fanatics against those who wished to return Spain to her Christian traditions.

Two of these soldiers gave their lives for the cause, far from their native homeland. Presented here are a selection of writings from Ion Mota and Vasile Marin, as well as Mota's final letters, his testament, through which is shown the miracle of the martyr's mind.Fully illustrated with 90 images from the period, these writings are presented in English for the first time, with commentary from Alexandru Groppe on the contextual and spiritual significance of the Archangel Michael's servants, who perished in the shadow of the southern cross.
Download or read book Redemptorists of Cuenca written by Antonio Quesada and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In an especially sad and difficult epoch of the history of Spain, far from the political disputes of the time, twenty-one Spanish Redemptorists died as victims of religious persecution. It was persecution unleashed in that country in the decade of the 1930s. These Redemptorists died simply for being religious, for being missionaries, for remaining firm in their faith and firm in their Christian vocation. A process of beatification is underway to recognize all of them as witnesses for the faith. For six of them, the Redemptorist martyrs of Cuenca, the process has been completed and, upon their being beatified on October 13, 2013, they have been presented to us as models of what Christian discipleship has come to mean in recent times. They are admirable witnesses of the faith. They have put on the line their very lives. They are Frs. José Javier Gorosterratzu, Ciriaco Olarte, Miguel Goñi, Julian Pozo, and Pedro Romero, and Brother Victoriano Calvo. To read the story of their lives, stories that have been gathered together in this book with fidelity and affection is an exercise that will bring us to a particularly splendid moment in the history of the Redemptorists of Spain. It will, above all, help us to know men of robust faith, of joyful hope, of impressive missionary zeal, of admirable courage which radiated the Gospel out from the church of San Felipe de Neri in Cuenca"--
Download or read book Martyrdom and the Politics of Religion written by Anna L. Peterson and published by SUNY Press. This book was released on 1997-01-01 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Martyrdom and the Politics of Religion explores the ways that Salvadoran Catholics sought to make sense of political violence in their country in the 1970s and 1980s by constructing a theological ethics that could both explain repression in religious terms and propose specific responses to violence. Drawing on extensive fieldwork, the book highlights the ways that progressive Catholicism offered a justification and tools for political resistance in the face of extraordinary destruction. Using the case of Catholicism in El Salvador, the book explores the nature of religious responses to social crisis and the ways that ordinary believers construct and strive to live by ethical systems. By highlighting the importance of theological belief, of narrative, and of religious rationality in political mobilization, it touches questions of general interest to readers concerned with the social role of religion and ethics.

Download or read book Christian Martyrs in Muslim Spain written by Kenneth Baxter Wolf and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1988 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1988, this book offers an important insight into the so-called 'martyrdom movement' that occurred in Córdoba in the 850s. It includes a biographical treatment of the ninth-century Cordoban priest Eulogius, who witnessed and recorded the martyrdoms of over forty Christians at the hands of Muslim authorities. Eulogius' hagiographical task was complicated by the fact that many of the Christians in Córdoba at the time resented the provocative actions of the martyrs that led to their executions, claiming that their public denunciations of Islam were inappropriate given the relative tolerance of the emir. This book will be of value to scholars and others with an interest in the history of Muslim Spain, the history of Muslim-Christian interaction, and historical ideas of sanctity.
