Download or read book Protestantism A Very Short Introduction written by Mark A. Noll and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2011-08-25 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mark A. Noll presents a fresh and accessible history of Protestantism from the era of Martin Luther to the present day. Beginning with the founding of Lutheran, Reformed, Anglican, and Anabaptist churches in the sixteenth-century Reformation, he also considers the rise of other important Christian movements like Methodism and Pentecostalism. Focussing on worldwide developments, rather than just the familiar European and American histories, he considers the recent expansion of Protestant movements in Africa, China, India, and Latin America, emphasising the on-going and rapidly expanding story of Protestants worldwide. Noll examines the contributions from well-known figures including Martin Luther and John Calvin, along with many others, and explores why Protestant energies have flagged recently in the Western world yet expanded so dramatically elsewhere. Highlighting the key points of Protestant commonality including the message of Christian salvation, reliance on the Bible, and organization through personal initiative, he also explores the reasons for Protestantism's extraordinary diversity.

Download or read book Protestants written by Alec Ryrie and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2017-04-04 with total page 528 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On the 500th anniversary of Luther’s theses, a landmark history of the revolutionary faith that shaped the modern world. "Ryrie writes that his aim 'is to persuade you that we cannot understand the modern age without understanding the dynamic history of Protestant Christianity.' To which I reply: Mission accomplished." –Jon Meacham, author of American Lion and Thomas Jefferson Five hundred years ago a stubborn German monk challenged the Pope with a radical vision of what Christianity could be. The revolution he set in motion toppled governments, upended social norms and transformed millions of people's understanding of their relationship with God. In this dazzling history, Alec Ryrie makes the case that we owe many of the rights and freedoms we have cause to take for granted--from free speech to limited government--to our Protestant roots. Fired up by their faith, Protestants have embarked on courageous journeys into the unknown like many rebels and refugees who made their way to our shores. Protestants created America and defined its special brand of entrepreneurial diligence. Some turned to their bibles to justify bold acts of political opposition, others to spurn orthodoxies and insight on their God-given rights. Above all Protestants have fought for their beliefs, establishing a tradition of principled opposition and civil disobedience that is as alive today as it was 500 years ago. In this engrossing and magisterial work, Alec Ryrie makes the case that whether or not you are yourself a Protestant, you live in a world shaped by Protestants.

Download or read book Salvation and Christian Theology A Comparison of Protestant Theological Systems written by Jack K. Mayfield and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2022-10-11 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Once someone is saved by God's grace through faith in Jesus Christ, how are they able to make theological decisions about what they believe as a Christian? How can Christians have assurance and security of their salvation, and by what beliefs and principles should they choose to live their lives? The answers to these questions and many more depend on a strong understanding of God's Word and knowledge of the specific theological systems that best represent God's message in the Bible. In his enlightening and informative guide, Salvation and Christian Theology: A Comparison of Protestant Theological Systems, author Jack K. Mayfield gives readers a detailed comparison of the characteristics of a variety of Protestant Christian theological systems, including each system's views on human redemption. First conceptualized during the author's seminary studies as a resourceful handbook for Christians struggling to understand historical church theologians/theology, Mayfield designed this guide with the goal of aiding Christians in choosing the theological system that best matches their beliefs. The text covers numerous theologies, including Calvinism, Lutheranism, Arminian, Wesleyan, and Free Grace systems, and includes useful supplemental tools to aid the readers' study, including a glossary of theological terms, charted breakdowns of various theological systems, and an extensive list of theological concepts found in specific Scriptures, with over 3,400 footnotes to support Mayfield's research. The author's goal is to give Christians a better foundation for finding a theological home for their beliefs, which in turn will influence their Christian mission and lifestyles choices. Jack Kendall Mayfield, BA/MD (Indiana University), MS (Medical College of Wisconsin), MDiv (Western Conservative Baptist/Phoenix Seminary) is a retired scientist, physician and orthopedic surgeon. He was a Captain in the USAF and later was the medical director of NEED International, an evangelistic organization that developed Christian schools and provided Christian education in India and medical education in Vietnam. His evangelistic and medical mission efforts were focused in Da Nang and Hanoi, Vietnam. He also served on short-term medical missions in Ecuador, St. Lucia, Russia, and the Amazon in Brazil. He has been a guest lecturer in Phoenix, Arizona on world religions, bioethics and apologetics at Southwestern College and on bioethics, apologetics and science at Phoenix Seminary. He has also been a guest lecturer on apologetics and science at Grace School of Theology, Houston, Texas. He and his wife, Cathy, split their time between living in Longmont, Colorado and Phoenix, Arizona and spending time with their three grown children and nine grandchildren.
Download or read book Exploring Protestant Traditions written by W. David Buschart and published by InterVarsity Press. This book was released on 2009-09-20 with total page 373 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Protestant is shorthand for a spreading family tree of church and theological traditions. Each tradition embodies a historically shaped perspective on the beliefs, practices and priorities that make up a Christian community. Whether you are an insider to one tradition, a hybrid of two or three, or--as many Christians today--an outsider to all, Exploring Protestant Traditions is a richly informative field guide to eight prominent Protestant theological traditions: Lutheran, Anabaptist, Reformed, Anglican, Baptist, Wesleyan, Dispensational and Pentecostal. Clearly and evenhandedly, W. David Buschart traces the histories of each tradition, explains their interpretive approaches to Scripture and identifies their salient beliefs. As a result, you will gain a sense of what it is to believe and worship as a Reformed or Pentecostal Christian, who the traditions' heroes are and where the "theological accents" are placed. Charts displaying the denominational representatives of each tradition and bibliographies mapping the path for further explorations add to the value of this guide. This is a book that seeks to receive rather than evaluate, to listen and understand rather than judge or correct. His is a model of theological hospitality that encourages you to open your doors to the varied ways in which Protestantism has taken root in history and human society. Some things take time, like coming to know a religious tradition. But Exploring Protestant Traditions is an excellent place to start.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own: digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries, undergraduate students, and independent scholars. The Age of Enlightenment profoundly enriched religious and philosophical understanding and continues to influence present-day thinking. Works collected here include masterpieces by David Hume, Immanuel Kant, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau, as well as religious sermons and moral debates on the issues of the day, such as the slave trade. The Age of Reason saw conflict between Protestantism and Catholicism transformed into one between faith and logic -- a debate that continues in the twenty-first century. ++++ The below data was compiled from various identification fields in the bibliographic record of this title.
