Download or read book On Christendom s Far Shore written by James Larry Hood and published by University Press of America. This book was released on 2013-12-18 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On Christendom’s Far Shore describes and explains American society by first illuminating its foundational stones: the traditional western (Judeo-Christian) faith in God and the West’s once common understanding of the natural order and the nature and destiny of man. It explores the biblical concepts of faith, paradox, tragedy and grace, time, gender relations, love, work, play, individual and communal responsibilities, freedom, and the Kingdom of Heaven. The book illustrates how these ideas and values underlie more specifically American values and American social and governmental patterns and structures, such as the pursuit of knowledge and wisdom, the creation of families and larger social groups and communities, the mentoring of future generations, and people’s understanding of self-governance and how to relate to other nations. On Christendom’s Far Shore depicts the present as a time of twilight with the United States caught up in a cataclysmic clash between a traditional understanding of man and of a God-centered universe and a post-modern, existential, man-centered, multicultural worldview that rejects the old values and structures and determinedly seeks a vast restructuring of the nation’s social and political order and character.
Download or read book Why We Sing Music Word and Liturgy in Early Christianity written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2022-11-14 with total page 626 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Open Access for this publication was made possible by a generous donation from Segelbergska stiftelsen för liturgivetenskaplig forskning (The Segelbergska Foundation for Research in Liturgical Studies). In a seminal study, Cur cantatur?, Anders Ekenberg examined Carolingian sources for explanations of why the liturgy was sung, rather than spoken. This multidisciplinary volume takes up Ekenberg’s question anew, investigating the interplay of New Testament writings, sacred spaces, biblical interpretation, and reception history of liturgical practices and traditions. Analyses of Greek, Latin, Coptic, Arabic, and Gǝʿǝz sources, as well as of archaeological and epigraphic evidence, illuminate an array of topics, including recent trends in liturgical studies; manuscript variants and liturgical praxis; Ignatius of Antioch’s choral metaphor; baptism in ancient Christian apocrypha; and the significance of late ancient altar veils.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume examines relations between U.S. Protestants and Africa since the end of colonial rule. It draws attention to shifting ecclesiastical and socio-political priorities, especially the decreased momentum of social justice advocacy and the growing missionary influence of churches emphasizing spiritual revival and personal prosperity. The book provides a thought-provoking assessment of U.S. Protestant involvements with Africa, and it proposes forms of engagement that build upon ecclesiastical dynamism within American and African contexts.

Download or read book Justifying Christ written by Harrell Reynolds and published by Tate Publishing. This book was released on 2012-05 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My book is not divinely inspired. God has already said all that people need. This book is about showing what divine revelation revealed and how people altered the revelation. Simply stated, this book is about opening the blinded eyes of people. The god of this world is in the business of blinding the eyes of humanity. Now it is time to allow Jesus to open our eyes so that saints can be created to fight back with all the authority of our Mighty Creator. Hermeneutics and homilies have discredited Him to the point that He is not known or recognized or respected as our Creator. This leads us to the ultimate problem that is stated in the Bible's golden text of John 3:16.After years of teaching behind the pulpit, Harrell Reynolds realized his doctrine was different from Jesus's, so stopped talking and started listening. This book is a result of his listening. Reynolds found contradictions between his teaching and Christ's, so this book strives to address those contradictions from a biblical, Christlike standpoint to help you avoid making the same assumptions. Tackling tough issues like unbelief, sainthood, and a better understanding of God's Word, this book will help answer your questions, while always pointing you back to the Bible. You'll learn how to draw inspiration from biblical characters like Mary, Moses, Sarai, and more, and revisit some of the same biblical lessons, ensuring that you can hear from God the same way that they did. You'll see the importance of God's words and learn to put them into action in your own life and make them your own words. If you're searching for the truth, this book will help point you in the right direction.

Download or read book Political Learning and Citizenship Education Under Conflict written by Orit Ichilov and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2004-09-30 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The central objective of this book is to analyze the characteristics of the social contexts and environments in conflict situations, and the impact that these socializing environments may have on the political learning and emerging citizenship orientations of youngsters. Special attention is given to the socializing environments of Palestinian and Israeli youngsters, drawing on material recently collected in Israel. Ichilov's incisive research uses a multilevel and interdisciplinary approach to argue that political learning is structured within social environments and that there are fundamental differences between the socializing environments in conflict and non-conflict situations.

Download or read book Christianity in India written by Robert Eric Frykenberg and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2008-06-27 with total page 606 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Robert Frykenberg's insightful study explores and enhances historical understandings of Christian communities, cultures, and institutions within the Indian world from their beginnings down to the present. As one out of several manifestations of a newly emerging World Christianity, in which Christians of a Post-Christian West are a minority, it has focused upon those trans-cultural interactions within Hindu and Muslim environments which have made Christians in this part of the world distinctive. It seeks to uncover various complexities in the proliferation of Christianity in its many forms and to examine processes by which Christian elements intermingled with indigenous cultures and which resulted in multiple identities, and also left imprints upon various cultures of India. Thomas Christians believe that the Apostle Thomas came to India in 52 A.D./C.E., and that he left seven congregations to carry on the Mission of bringing the Gospel to India. In our day the impulse of this Mission is more alive than ever. Catholics, in three hierarchies, have become most numerous; and various Evangelicals/Protestant communities constitute the third great tradition. With the rise of Pentecostalism, a fourth great wave of Christian expansion in India has occurred. Starting with movements that began a century ago, there are now ten to fifteen times more missionaries than ever before, virtually all of them Indian. Needless to say, Christianity in India is profoundly Indian and Frykenberg provides a fascinating guide to its unique history and practice.
