Book Synopsis Interfaces Baptists and Others by : David Bebbington
Download or read book Interfaces Baptists and Others written by David Bebbington and published by Authentic Media Inc. This book was released on 2014-07-08 with total page 415 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book is a collection of twenty-one essays discussing how Baptists throughout the world have related to other Christians and to other institutions and movements over the centuries. The theme of this collection of twenty-one essays, 'Baptists and Others', includes relations with other Christians and with other institutions and movements. What, the authors ask, has been the Baptist experience of engaging with different groups and developments? The theme has been explored by means of case studies, some of which are very specific in time and place while others cover long periods and more than one country. In the first half the contents are arranged by period. The first section examines early Baptists, the second nineteenth-century Baptists in Britain and America and the third Baptists in the twentieth century. The second half turns to various parts of the world. There is a section on Australia, another on New Zealand and a third on Asia and Africa. The overall picture is one of a complicated series of relationships as Baptists defined themselves as different from other bodies and yet, especially in the twentieth century, tried to co-operate in mission and ecumenical endeavour. 'Baptists are often regarded as enthusiastic separatists and unenthusiastic ecumenists. These essays, based on hard evidence rather than passing impressions, are a necessary correction to superficial prejudices and show the reality to be much more complex and nuanced, as well as varied over time and place. The book is a smorgasbord of delights. Yet, readers should avoid the temptation to pick and choose from the menu, ensuring rather that each offering is digested so they enjoy a balance and nutritious meal.' Derek Tidball

Book Synopsis T&T Clark Companion to Nonconformity by : Robert Pope
Download or read book T&T Clark Companion to Nonconformity written by Robert Pope and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2013-11-21 with total page 760 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Protestant Nonconformity, the umbrella term for Congregationalists, Presbyterians, Baptists, Methodists and Unitarians, belongs specifically to the religious history of England and Wales. Initially the result of both unwillingness to submit to the State's interference in Christian life and a dissatisfaction with the progress of reform in the English Church, Nonconformity has been primarily motivated by theological concern, ecclesial polity, devotion and the nurture of godliness among the members of the church. Alongside such churchly interests, Nonconformity has also made a profound contribution to debates about the role of the State, to family life and education, culture in general, trade and industry, the development of philanthropy and charity, and the development of pacifism. In this volume, for the first time, Nonconformity and the breadth of its activity come under the expert scrutiny of a host of recognised scholars. The result is a detailed and fascinating account of a movement in church history that, while currently in decline, has made an indelible mark on social, political, economic and religious life of the two nations.
Download or read book Wales since 1939 written by Martin Johnes and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2013-01-18 with total page 439 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The period since 1939 saw more rapid and significant change than any other time in Welsh history. Wales developed a more assertive identity of its own and some of the apparatus of a nation state. Yet its economy floundered between boom and bust, its traditional communities were transformed and the Welsh language and other aspects of its distinctiveness were undermined by a globalizing world. Wales was also deeply divided by class, language, ethnicity, gender, religion and region. Its people grew wealthier, healthier and more educated but they were not always happier. This ground-breaking book examines the story of Wales since 1939, giving voice to ordinary people and the variety of experiences within the nation. This is a history of not just a nation, but of its residents’ hopes and fears, their struggles and pleasures and their views of where they lived and the wider world.
Book Synopsis Adventist Interchurch Relations by : Stefan Höschele
Download or read book Adventist Interchurch Relations written by Stefan Höschele and published by V&R Unipress. This book was released on 2022-09-05 with total page 513 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study presents the first comprehensive analysis of Seventhday Adventist interchurch relations – a 20-million member body whose ecumenical stance has so far been underresearched. For the sake of interpreting denominational involvement and reservations in Adventism as well as beyond, the study develops a new academic approach to ecumenism based on Relational Models Theory, a comprehensive social science paradigm of interpreting human relationships. The resulting typology of ecumenical interactions and the historical case study of Adventism suggest that such a relational interpretation of ecumenical interaction sheds light on many of the unresolved issues in ecumenics – such as divergent concepts of unity, difficulties in recognition processes, and the permanence of denominationalism.

Book Synopsis Die Politisierung des Protestantismus by : Klaus Fitschen
Download or read book Die Politisierung des Protestantismus written by Klaus Fitschen and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: English summary: In this volume, the authors deal with tendencies of politicisation within Protestantism during the crucial reform and crisis years in the Federal Republic of Germany. They enquire into possible causes, the impact and consequences of these developments and further survey contemporary discourses on a Politicisation of Church. Contributions on Catholicism in Germany as well as on Prostestantism in other countries in Western and Eastern Europe discuss the question of whether the new Politicisation of Religion, Church and Theology is a transconfessional and transnational phenomena. German text. German description: Das Verhaltnis zwischen Religion und Politik ist in jungster Zeit wieder zu einem Thema von hoher offentlicher und wissenschaftlicher Aufmerksamkeit geworden. Die Beitrager des vorliegenden Bandes beschaftigen sich mit Politisierungstendenzen im Protestantismus wahrend der Reform- und Krisenjahre der Bundesrepublik. Sie fragen nach Ursachen, Erscheinungsformen und Auswirkungen dieser Entwicklungen und beleuchten auch die zeitgenossischen Diskurse uber eine Politisierung der Kirche. Wie verhielt es sich mit dem politischen Selbstverstandnis und Agieren von Laienchristen und kirchlichen Amtstragern? Wie sahen die theologischen Entwurfe aus, die ein aktives, die Gesellschaft veranderndes Christentum propagierten? Wie gestaltete sich der innerkonfessionelle Polarisierungsprozess im Zeichen der Linkspolitisierung? Beitrage zum Katholizismus in der Bundesrepublik sowie zum Protestantismus in anderen Landern West- und Osteuropas klaren, ob es sich bei der neuen Politisierung von Religion, Kirche und Theologie um ein uberkonfessionelles und ein transnationales Phanomen handelte.
Book Synopsis Evangelicalism and Dissent in Modern England and Wales by : David Bebbington
Download or read book Evangelicalism and Dissent in Modern England and Wales written by David Bebbington and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-09-07 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book treads new ground by bringing the Evangelical and Dissenting movements within Christianity into close engagement with one another. While Evangelicalism and Dissent both have well established historiographies, there are few books that specifically explore the relationship between the two. Thus, this complex relationship is often overlooked and underemphasised. The volume is organised chronologically, covering the period from the late seventeenth century to the closing decades of the twentieth century. Some chapters deal with specific centuries but others chart developments across the whole period covered by the book. Chapters are balanced between those that concentrate on an individual, such as George Whitefield or John Stott, and those that focus on particular denominational groups like Wesleyan Methodism, Congregationalism or the ‘Black Majority Churches’. The result is a new insight into the cross pollination of these movements that will help the reader to understand modern Christianity in England and Wales more fully. Offering a fresh look at the development of Evangelicalism and Dissent, this volume will be of keen interest to any scholar of Religious Studies, Church History, Theology or modern Britain.
Book Synopsis Religion and Society in the Diocese of St Davids 1485-2011 by : John Morgan-Guy
Download or read book Religion and Society in the Diocese of St Davids 1485-2011 written by John Morgan-Guy and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-01 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the medieval and early modern periods the Welsh diocese of St Davids was one of the largest in the country and the most remote. As this collection makes clear, this combination of factors resulted in a religious life which was less regulated and controlled by the institutional forces of both Church and State. Addressing key ideas in the development of popular religious culture and the stubborn continuity of long-lasting religious practices into the modern era, the volume shows how the diocese was also a locus for continuing major religious controversies, especially in the nineteenth century. Presenting a fresh view of the Diocese of St Davids since the Reformation, this is the first new account of religion and society in over a century. It is, moreover, not one which is written primarily from an institutional perspective but from that of wider society. As well as a chronological treatment, giving an overview of the history of religion in the diocese, chapters address key themes, including a study of religious revivals which originated within the borders of the diocese; consideration of popular and elite education, including the contribution of Bishop Burgess's pioneering institution at Lampeter (the first degree awarding institution in England and Wales after Oxford and Cambridge); the relationship of the Church to the revival of Welsh cultural identity; and new reflections on the agitation and realisation of disestablishment of the Church as it affected Wales. As such, this pioneering study has much to offer all those with an interest, not only in Welsh history, but ecclesiastical history more broadly.
Book Synopsis Baptism and the Baptists by : Anthony R. Cross
Download or read book Baptism and the Baptists written by Anthony R. Cross and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2017-06-20 with total page 550 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since its first publication in 2000, Baptism and the Baptists has become the definitive work on the subject. It examines the theology and practice of believers' baptism among twentieth-century Baptists associated with the Baptist Union of Great Britain, and identifies the major influences which have led to its development. In the nineteenth and early twentieth century, the majority of Baptists concentrated predominantly on the mode and subjects of baptism (immersion and believers), understanding the rite merely as an ordinance--the believer's personal profession of faith in Christ. However, in continuity with a tradition of Baptists going back as far as the first Baptists in the second and third decades of the seventeenth century, there were also a significant number of ministers and scholars who saw the inadequacy of this view of baptism both biblically and theologically. This sacramental view developed and grew throughout the twentieth century, and influenced a resurgence of baptismal sacramentalism in the early twenty-first century among Baptists not just in Britain, but also in North America, Europe, and further afield.
