Download or read book Israelism in Modern Britain written by Aidan Cottrell-Boyce and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-08-31 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book unpacks the history of British-Israelism in the UK. Remarkably, this subject has had very little attention: remarkable, because at its height in the post-war era, the British-Israelist movement could claim to have tens of thousands of card-carrying adherents and counted amongst its membership admirals, peers, television personalities, MPs and members of the royal family including the King of England. British-Israelism is the belief that the people of Britain are the descendants of the Lost Tribes of Israel. It originated in the writing of a Scottish historian named John Wilson, who toured the country in the mid-Nineteenth Century. Providing a guide to the history of British-Israelism as a movement, including the formation of the British-Israel World Federation, Covenant Publishing, and other institutions, the book explores the complex ways in which British-Israelist thought mirrored developments in ethnic British nationalism during the Twentieth Century. A detailed study on the subject of British-Israelism is necessary, because British-Israelists constitute an essential element of British life during the most violent and consequential century of its history. As such, this will be a vital resource for any scholar of Minority Religions, New Religious Movements, Nationalism and British Religious History.

Download or read book The Invention of the Land of Israel written by Shlomo Sand and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2012-11-20 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is a homeland and when does it become a national territory? Why have so many people been willing to die for such places throughout the twentieth century? What is the essence of the Promised Land? Following the acclaimed and controversial The Invention of the Jewish People, Shlomo Sand examines the mysterious sacred land that has become the site of the longest-running national struggle of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. The Invention of the Land of Israel deconstructs the age-old legends surrounding the Holy Land and the prejudices that continue to suffocate it. Sand’s account dissects the concept of “historical right” and tracks the creation of the modern concept of the “Land of Israel” by nineteenth-century Evangelical Protestants and Jewish Zionists. This invention, he argues, not only facilitated the colonization of the Middle East and the establishment of the State of Israel; it is also threatening the existence of the Jewish state today.

Download or read book Tragic encounters and ordinary ethics written by Ruth Sheldon and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2016-10-20 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For over four decades, events in Palestine-Israel have provoked raging conflicts within British universities around issues of free speech, 'extremism', antisemitism and Islamophobia. But why is this conflict so significant for student activists living at such a geographical distance from the region itself? And what role do emotive, polarised communications around Palestine-Israel play in the life of British academic institutions committed to the ideal of free expression? This book draws on original ethnographic research with student activists on different sides of this conflict to initiate a conversation with students, academics and members of the public who are concerned with the transnational politics of Palestine-Israel and with the changing role of the public university. It shows how, in an increasingly globalised world that is shaped by entangled histories of European antisemitism and colonial violence, ethnography can open up ethical responses to questions of justice
Download or read book Living in Bible Times written by Christopher J. Richmann and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2020-01-09 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: F. F. Bosworth was the only major living link between the late-nineteenth-century divine healing movement that gave birth to Pentecostalism and the post-World-War II healing revival that brought Pentecostalism into American popular culture. At once on the fringes and in the mainstream of American Pentecostalism, Bosworth has largely been ignored by historians. Richmann demonstrates that Bosworth's story not only draws together disparate threads of the Pentecostal story but critiques traditional interpretations of speaking in tongues, Azusa Street, denominational affiliation, divine healing, the relationship to fundamentalism, the Word of Faith movement, and eschatology. In this critique, Richmann provides a much-needed critical biography of Bosworth as well as a fresh interpretation of Pentecostalism.

Download or read book Religion and the Racist Right written by Michael Barkun and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2014-02-01 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to Michael Barkun, many white supremacist groups of the radical right are deeply committed to the distinctive but little-recognized religious position known as Christian Identity. In Religion and the Racist Right (1994), Barkun provided the first sustained exploration of the ideological and organizational development of the Christian Identity movement. In a new chapter written for the revised edition, he traces the role of Christian Identity figures in the dramatic events of the first half of the 1990s, from the Oklahoma City bombing and the rise of the militia movement to the Freemen standoff in Montana. He also explores the government's evolving response to these challenges to the legitimacy of the state. Michael Barkun is professor of political science in the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs at Syracuse University. He is author of several books, including Crucible of the Millennium: The Burned-over District of New York in the 1840s.
Download or read book Israel in Britain written by John Garnier and published by . This book was released on 2015-06-30 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Israel in Britain: A Brief Statement of the Evidences in Proof of the Israelitish Origin of the British Race There has been much written upon the asserted identity of the British race with the Israelites of the Ten Tribes, but it has failed to convince many pious Christians, chiefly because the arguments in support of this identity have often been mixed up with speculations which, however interesting, and perhaps important to those who already believe in this identity, are unsupported by sufficient evidence, and liable, therefore, to be seized upon by the sceptical reader as reasons for rejecting the whole argument. The subject has also been sometimes discredited by superficial and illogical conclusions based on imperfect knowledge, and by the wild and fanciful theories of some of its supporters, which have seemed to justify sober-minded enquirers in throwing aside the question as one only fitted for cranks and persons of unbalanced minds. It may also be remarked that there are persons in our midst who would do all in their power to throw discredit and contempt upon a subject which, if true and generally accepted, would go far to restore the waning belief of multitudes in the truth of the Bible, and to re-unite the people of a kingdom which it is the object of our enemies to break up and destroy. But the doubtful statements and theories which tend to discredit the subject are merely accretions which are liable to gather round any great truth, and are in no way essential to the true arguments in its favour. In the following pages the author has therefore excluded all doubtful statements and theories, and has endeavoured to state as briefly as possible those arguments, scriptural and historical, which may be expected to appeal to anyone with an open mind.

Download or read book Pentecostal Churches in Transition written by Shane Clifton and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2009 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The global growth of Pentecostal movements during the course of the twentieth century has been widely documented although, to date, there has been little written on their developing ecclesiology. After making the case for a concrete rather than idealised approach to ecclesiology, this book describes and analyses the transitions that have framed the ways in which Australian Pentecostals have understood church life and mission. From a loosely knit faith missions movement, to congregational free church structures, to the so-called apostolic models of mega-churches, Australian pentecostalism stands as a microcosmos of ecclesial developments that have occurred throughout the world. This book, therefore, provides a means of reflecting upon what has been gained and lost in the process of ecclesiological change.

Download or read book Anglo Israel the Jewish Problem and Supplement written by Thomas Howlett and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-02-23 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thomas Rosling Howlett was a vocal proponent of British Israelism in the 19th century. In this book, he unites and explains the arguments in favor of Anglo-Saxons descending from the ten tribes of Israel. Each chapter consists of a distinct argument in favor of the notion that the original ten tribes of Israel migrated to continental Europe and formed the genesis of the Anglo Saxon peoples. Archaeological findings suggesting links between Celtic and Israelite tribes, references in scripture, and variations accounting for the Scottish and Irish cultures, are among the topics examined. Howlett analyzes the physical characteristics, linguistic structures and nomenclature, traditions, customs, social mores and political traits of both the ancient Israeli tribes and the Anglo Saxon societies. The author makes expansive use of ancient Biblical literature in support of his thesis, concluding each of his chapters with a summarizing poem alluding to both British and Israelite accomplishments and traits. At the time this book was first published in 1892, reviews in the popular press were positive. For the first time, disparate arguments about links between Anglo Saxons and ancient Israel were cogently organized and presented. Subsequent to the publication of these and other books in the field, the British Israelism movement grew in size. Today, organizations such as the British-Israel-World Federation continue to advocate ethno-linguistic and historical research, plus close ties between the UK, USA and Israel. This edition includes Howlett's original text, together with his lengthy supplement further explaining and clarifying Anglo-Israel views.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This masterful six-volume encyclopedia provides comprehensive, global coverage of religion, emphasizing larger religious communities without neglecting the world's smaller religious outposts. Religions of the World, Second Edition: A Comprehensive Encyclopedia of Beliefs and Practices is an extraordinary work, bringing together the scholarship of some 225 experts from around the globe. The encyclopedia's six volumes offer entries on every country of the world, with particular emphasis on the larger nations, as well as Indonesia and the Latin American countries that are traditionally given little attention in English-language reference works. Entries include profiles on religion in the world's smallest countries (the Vatican and San Marino), profiles on religion in recently established or disputed countries (Kosovo and Nagorno-Karabakh), as well as profiles on religion in some of the world's most remote places (Antarctica and Easter Island). Religions of the World is unique in that it is based in religion "on the ground," tracing the development of each of the 16 major world religious traditions through its institutional expressions in the modern world, its major geographical sites, and its major celebrations. Unlike other works, the encyclopedia also covers the world of religious unbelief as expressed in atheism, humanism, and other traditions.
