Book excerpt: Written by contributing scholars who are experts in specific facets of developing Christianity, this survey provides a well-rounded introduction to the history of Christianity and is ideal for anyone interested in the impact of Christianity of world culture down through history.

Provides detailed evidence of the influence of Greco-Roman and Jewish religious concepts and religious movements on the origins of Christianity, considers the structuring of the church conceptually and organizationally in Europe, and discusses Christianity's spread and growth in America and throughout the world.

Download or read book Christianity and Social Systems written by Rosemary Radford Ruether and published by Rowman & Littlefield Publishers. This book was released on 2008-09-26 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the earliest interactions of Christians with the Roman Empire to today's debates about the separation of church and state, the Christian churches have been in complex relationships with various economic and political systems for centuries. Renowned theologian Rosemary Radford Ruether analyzes the ways the Christian church has historically interacted with powerful systems such as patriarchy, racism, slavery, and environmentalism, while looking critically at how the church shapes these systems today. With a focus on the United States, Christianity and Social Systems provides an introductory analysis of the interactions between the churches and major systems that have shaped western Christian and post-Christian society. Ruether discusses ideologies, such as liberalism and socialism, and includes three country case studies-Nicaragua, South Africa, and North and South Korea-to further illustrate the profound influences Christianity and social systems have with each other. This book is neither an attack on the relationship between Christianity and these systems, nor an apology, but rather a nuanced examination of the interactions between them. By understanding how these interactions have shaped history, we can more fully understand how to make ethical decisions about the role of Christianity in some of today's most pressing social issues, from economic and class disparities to the environmental crisis.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Social Aspects of Christianity: And Other Essays All of these essays, except the second, have already appeared in print, and a word with reference to each of them may not be out of place. The first essay, which gives the title to this little volume, was originally a lay sermon, preached in the Presbyterian Church, in Fredonia, N.Y. Subsequently it was enlarged and published as a series of five articles in the Congregationalist of Boston. The second essay was originally an address, delivered before the Baptist Ministers of New York, at one of their usual Monday gatherings. The third essay consists of two parts. The first appeared in the magazine the Chautauquan, and was part of an article bearing the same title. The second part - with the introductory remark - was written for the Baltimore Sun at the solicitation of the Charity Organization Society of Baltimore, and by that Society reprinted in the form of a pamphlet. A special edition was printed for the New York Charity Organization Society. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
