Book Almost Christian

    Book Details:
  • Author : Kenda Creasy Dean
  • Publisher : Oxford University Press
  • Release : 2010-07-16
  • ISBN : 0199758662
  • Pages : 266 pages

Download or read book Almost Christian written by Kenda Creasy Dean and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2010-07-16 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on the National Study of Youth and Religion--the same invaluable data as its predecessor, Soul Searching: The Religious and Spiritual Lives of American Teenagers--Kenda Creasy Dean's compelling new book, Almost Christian, investigates why American teenagers are at once so positive about Christianity and at the same time so apathetic about genuine religious practice. In Soul Searching, Christian Smith and Melinda Lundquist Denton found that American teenagers have embraced a "Moralistic Therapeutic Deism"--a hodgepodge of banal, self-serving, feel-good beliefs that bears little resemblance to traditional Christianity. But far from faulting teens, Dean places the blame for this theological watering down squarely on the churches themselves. Instead of proclaiming a God who calls believers to lives of love, service and sacrifice, churches offer instead a bargain religion, easy to use, easy to forget, offering little and demanding less. But what is to be done? In order to produce ardent young Christians, Dean argues, churches must rediscover their sense of mission and model an understanding of being Christian as not something you do for yourself, but something that calls you to share God's love, in word and deed, with others. Dean found that the most committed young Christians shared four important traits: they could tell a personal and powerful story about God; they belonged to a significant faith community; they exhibited a sense of vocation; and they possessed a profound sense of hope. Based on these findings, Dean proposes an approach to Christian education that places the idea of mission at its core and offers a wealth of concrete suggestions for inspiring teens to live more authentically engaged Christian lives. Persuasively and accessibly written, Almost Christian is a wake up call no one concerned about the future of Christianity in America can afford to ignore.

Book La Autobiograf  a De Santa Margarita Mar  a Alacoque

Download or read book La Autobiograf a De Santa Margarita Mar a Alacoque written by Luis Gamas and published by Palibrio. This book was released on 2014-09-19 with total page 121 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La historia de las revelaciones privadas nos muestra como Nuestro Seor Jesucristo a lo largo de 20 siglos, despus de que subi al cielo para estar sentado a la derecha del Padre, ha interactuado con un nmero de seres humanos que por su santidad y entrega han sido merecedores de este privilegio. El tema ms importante en esta historia ha sido la revelacin de su infinito amor por los hombres en su Sagrado Corazn, que a travs de la lanzada en su costado derram en la forma del agua y sangre, aguas abundantes de salvacin. Es desde ese momento que empieza la devocin al Sagrado Corazn, como nos dice San Agustn, y pasando por devociones privadas de santos como San Bernardo de Claraval, Santa Angela de Foligno, y Santa Gertrudis Magna, por nombrar slo algunos, hasta San Francisco de Sales y Santa Juana Chantal que fundan la orden de la Visitacin consagrada a los Sagrados Corazones de Jess y Mara, que llegamos al medio de que Nuestro Seor se sirvi para que se difundiera pblicamente esta devocin, Santa Margarita Mara Alacoque. A travs de esta autobiografa, demandada por Nuestro Seor para vencer la reticencia de Santa Margarita Mara, se nos relata una historia de amor y dolor sublimes entre Nuestro Seor y Santa Margarita Mara que desemboca en grandes revelaciones que tienen como culmen la gran revelacin, en que Nuestro Seor pide la institucin de la Fiesta del Sagrado Corazn que actualmente festejamos al terminar la octava de Corpus Christi.

Book The Big Love

Download or read book The Big Love written by Florence Aadland and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Literary Nonfiction. California Interest. Women's Studies. Film. Memoir. THE BIG LOVE is a Hollywood nightmare. It tells the story of Errol Flynn--a fading, alcoholic movie star--and the underage dancer-actress Beverly Aadland. The narrator? Beverly Aadland's fame-worshiping mother Mrs. Florence Aadland, who spurs the relationship on. There is nothing subtle or sympathetic about this memoir: It is outrageous, grotesque, surreal, notorious--an intimate look at Hollywood exploitation and decay. On the one hand, THE BIG LOVE depicts the deterioration of Errol Flynn, an actor who is quickly losing relevance after years of playing irresistible swashbucklers in films such as Captain Blood (1935) and The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938). He is riddled with medical problems, drinking himself to death. On the other hand, there is Mrs. Florence Aadland, also an alcoholic, an uncultured stage mother psychotically pushing her daughter Beverly forward even at the cost of her own marriage. A bizarre, seedy time capsule of the 1950s, THE BIG LOVE is the long-lost literary sister of Barbara Payton's I AM NOT ASHAMED. And, after languishing out of print for years, it is ready to shock brand new audiences with its absurd humor, villainous characters, and sickly dissipation.

  • Publisher : Yale University Press
  • Release : 1988-01-01
  • ISBN : 9780300047462
  • Pages : 260 pages

Download or read book The Myth of Ritual Murder written by R. Po-chia Hsia and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 1988-01-01 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the mid-fifteenth century to the early seventeenth, German Jews were persecuted and tried for the alleged ritual murders of Christian children, whose blood purportedly played a crucial part in Jewish magical rites. In this engrossing book R. Po-Chia Hsia traces the rise and decline of ritual murder trials during that period. Using sources ranging from Christian and Kabbalistic treatises to judicial records and popular pamphlets, Hsia examines the religious sources of the idea of child sacrifice and blood symbolism and reconstructs the political context of ritual murder trials against the Jews. "This volume combines clarity of thinking, elegance of style, and exemplary scholarly attention to detail with intellectual sobriety and human compassion."--Jerome Friedman, Sixteenth Century Journal "Hsia has... succeeded in turning established knowledge to illuminatingly new purposes."--G.R. Elton, New York Review of Books "This meticulously researched and unusually perceptive book is social and intellectual history at its best."--Library Journal "A fresh perspective on an old problem by a major new talent."--Steven Ozment, Harvard University R. Po-chia Hsia, professor of history at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, is also the author of Society and Religion in Münster, 1535-1618
