Book Description
Historical Christianity -- The Ancient Communal Faith is not merely another theology book but is the book you've been waiting for to cut through all the platitudes and self-serving egotism you have experienced when trying to understand the history of the Christian Faith. You may have spent your entire life trying to find "the truth", or you are just beginning to look into this religion thing. Either way, Roderick Edwards' over 50 years of dedication to critical research of topics as controversial as How to Overthrow a Government to books on race relations allows you to finally get to the bottom of what it means to be a Christian. This isn't a lecture or a sermon book but is a no nonsense deconstruction of the moving parts. Roderick's data analyst background is applied to every chapter. You'll come out the other side knowing more and being more confident than when you started.

Communal Christianity
Author: David Mayes
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9004475354
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 379
Book Description
David Mayes proposes a new religious paradigm in early modern rural Germany. “Communal Christianity,” the religious practice prevalent among peasants in mid-sixteenth-century rural Upper Hesse is juxtaposed with the more formally organized “Confessional” sects (e.g. Lutheran, Calvinist). The author describes Communal Christianity’s characteristics and persistence in the face of attempts at confessionalization during the period of 1576-1648 and links its success in part to the decree of the 1555 Religious Peace of Augsburg that only one confessionalized Christian sect be officially recognized in a territory. Confessional sects became marginalized, and more locally well-established peasant communes retained power. The 1648 Peace of Westphalia encouraged reconciliation of confessionalized Christian sects, paradoxically spurring the decline of Communal Christianity in certain locales.

Pages : 319

Much of the contemporary discussion of the Jesus tradition has focused on aspects of oral performance, storytelling, and social memory, on the premise that the practice of communal reading of written texts was a phenomenon documented no earlier than the second century CE. Brian J.

Protestant Christianity in the Indian Diaspora
Author: Robbie B. H. Goh
Publisher: State University of New York Press
ISBN: 1438469446
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 286
Book Description
Captures how Indian Protestant Christians negotiate their religious and cultural identities within the Indian diaspora. This is the first comprehensive study of Protestant Christian religious identities in the Indian diaspora. Using qualitative interview methods, Robbie B. H. Goh captures the experiences of Indian Protestants in ten different countries and regions, describing how Indian communal Christian identities are negotiated and transformed in a variety of diasporic contexts ranging from Canada to Qatar. Goh argues that Christianity in India, developed within discrete and varied “ecologies,” translates in the diaspora into a model of small communal churches that struggle with issues of community maintenance, evangelical growth, and Pentecostal influences. He looks at the significance of Christianity’s “abject” position in India, the interplay and tension between evangelicalism and Pentecostalism, Pentecostalism’s insistence on religious endogamy (particularly among women), intrareligious differences along generational lines, the actions of Hindutva hard-line elements, and other factors, in the construction and transformation of diasporic religious identities and affective attachments to India. Robbie B. H. Goh is Professor of English Literature and Cultural Studies at the National University of Singapore. He is the author and editor of several books, including Christianity in Southeast Asia.
