Great Is the Mystery of Faith: Exploring Faith Through the

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Ferguson, Paul, PUBLISHER: Canterburry Press, Liturgical texts which are repeated week after week by hundreds of thousands of people are an effective starting-point for exploring deep matters of faith, because of their rich theological content, the connections that can be made with their themes, and (for many people) their familiarity. An altogether powerful combination which is explored in this new volume in the Archbishop of York's occasional series, which was begun by Paula Gooder's The Meaning is in the Waiting, and which aims to lay a foundation for a fuller understanding and a more mature, informed faith and spirituality. Assuming no specialist knowledge but convinced that a good theological understanding is within everyone's grasp, Paul Ferguson takes often repeated words from the Eucharist, morning and evening prayer, and the baptism, marriage and funeral rites to explore core Christian belief. Ideal for confirmation courses, study groups and individual reading, this will take readers to new places of understanding via familiar, loved texts.

Victorian Christianity at the Fin De Siecle: The Culture of

The period known as the fin de siecle (usually taken to mean the years between and ) was a fluid and unsettling epoch of endings and beginnings,as well as of new forms of creativity and anxiety. The end of the century has attracted much interest from scholars of literary and cultural studies,who regard it as a critical moment in the history of their disciplines; but it has been almost completely ignored by religious historians. Frances Knight here sets right that neglect. She shows how late Victo

The Coming of Christianity to Anglo-Saxon England

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Mayr-Harting, Henry, PUBLISHER: Penn State University Press, The Coming of Christianity to Anglo-Saxon England is more than a general account of the conversion of the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms. It is a probing study of the way in which Christianity was fashioned in England, giving full weight to the variety of wealth of the traditions that contributed to early Anglo-Saxon Christianity. It is also a study in the process of Christianization, as it was carried out by churchmen who, according to Mayr-Harting, prepared themselves by prayer and study and travel as well as by social awareness to Christianize their world. For this edition, the author has added a new preface in which he reconsiders some of his earlier conclusions and addresses recent developments in the scholarship. In a completely new chapter, Mayr-Harting appraises the work of Boniface of Devon, the greatest missionary of the early Middle Ages whom he calls the "Mirror of English History." Mayr-Harting thereby extends his account of early Anglo-Saxon Christianity from the Gregorian mission of the late sixth century up to the eighth-century English mission to the Continent, perhaps the crowning achievement of early English history.

The Alawis of Syria: War,Faith and Politics in the Levant

Throughout the turbulent history of the Levant the 'Alawis - a secretive,resilient and ancient Muslim sect - have aroused suspicion and animosity,including accusations of religious heresy. More recently they have been tarred with the brush of political separatism and complicity in the excesses of the Assad regime,claims that have gained greater traction since the onset of the Syrian uprising and subsequent devastating civil war. The contributors to this book provide a complex and nuanced reading o

The Place of Tolerance in Islam

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Abou El Fadl, Khaled / El Fadl, Khaled Abou / Fadl, Khaled Abou El, PUBLISHER: Beacon Press, We suddenly find ourselves with very little knowledge of a religion and culture that continues to have an enormous impact on our world. Through a close reading of the Qur'an, Khaled Abou El Fadl shows that injunctions to violence against nonbelievers stem from misreadings. Even jihad, or so-called holy war, has no basis in Qur'anic text or Muslim theology, but instead was an outgrowth of social and political conflict. Reading the holy text in the appropriate moral and historical contexts shows that Islamic civilization has long been pluralistic, and even usually tolerant of other religions. Leading scholars of Islam offer nuanced commentary

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Brands, H. W., PUBLISHER: Anchor Books, In Lone Star Nation, Pulitzer Prize finalist H. W. Brands demythologizes Texas' s journey to statehood and restores the genuinely heroic spirit to a pivotal chapter in American history. From Stephen Austin, Texas' s reluctant founder, to the alcoholic Sam Houston, who came to lead the Texas army in its hour of crisis and glory, to President Andrew Jackson, whose expansionist aspirations loomed large in the background, here is the story of Texas and the outsize figures who shaped its turbulent history. Beginning with its early colonization in the s and taking in the shocking massacres of Texas loyalists at the Alamo and Goliad, its rough-and-tumble years as a land overrun by the Comanches, and its day of liberation as an upstart republic, Brands' lively history draws on contemporary accounts, diaries, and letters to animate a diverse cast of characters whose adventures, exploits, and ambitions live on in the very fabric of our nation.

Christianity and Sexuality in the Early Modern World

Christianity and Sexuality in the Early Modern World: Christianity and Sexuality in the Early Modern World is the first global survey of such for the early modern period. Merry Wiesner-Hanks assesses the role of personal faith and the church itself in the control and expression of all aspects of sexuality. The book ranges over developments within Europe and beyond to the European colonies including Brazil, Mexico, South Africa and Goa, which were establishing themselves around the world. Christian missionaries and rituals and structures accompanied all of the imperial powers and the control of the sexuality of both indigenous peoples and colonists was an essential part of policy. The book is introduced with a clear, original and engaging account of the central concepts in the study of sexuality in Christianity, such as shame, sin, the body, marriage and gender. Drawing on diverse evidence including literary, medical and historical the following sections chart changes in Western Christianity in the Late Middle Ages, Protestantism and Catholicism in Europe, Orthodoxy in Eastern Europe and Russia, and finally the Spanish, Portuguese, English and Dutch Colonies. Merry Wiesner-Hanks exciting book covers both the ideas and effects in each period. Christianity and Sexuality in the early Modern World includes discursive bibliographies which discuss major books and articles at the end of each chapter.
