Book Synopsis Realist Ecstasy by : Lindsay V. Reckson
Download or read book Realist Ecstasy written by Lindsay V. Reckson and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2020-01-28 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Honorable Mention, Barnard Hewitt Award from the American Society for Theater Research Explores the intersection and history of American literary realism and the performance of spiritual and racial embodiment. Recovering a series of ecstatic performances in late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century American realism, Realist Ecstasy travels from camp meetings to Native American ghost dances to storefront church revivals to explore realism’s relationship to spiritual experience. In her approach to realism as both an unruly archive of performance and a wide-ranging repertoire of media practices—including literature, photography, audio recording, and early film—Lindsay V. Reckson argues that the real was repetitively enacted and reenacted through bodily practice. Realist Ecstasy demonstrates how the realist imagining of possessed bodies helped construct and naturalize racial difference, while excavating the complex, shifting, and dynamic possibilities embedded in ecstatic performance: its production of new and immanent forms of being beside. Across her readings of Stephen Crane, James Weldon Johnson, and Nella Larsen, among others, Reckson triangulates secularism, realism, and racial formation in the post-Reconstruction moment. Realist Ecstasy shows how post-Reconstruction realist texts mobilized gestures—especially the gestures associated with religious ecstasy—to racialize secularism itself. Reckson offers us a distinctly new vision of American realism as a performative practice, a sustained account of how performance lives in and through literary archives, and a rich sense of how closely secularization and racialization were linked in Jim Crow America.
Book Synopsis The Protestant Face of Anglicanism by : Paul F. M. Zahl
Download or read book The Protestant Face of Anglicanism written by Paul F. M. Zahl and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 1998 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Paul F.M. Zahl attempts to show - contrary to the opinion of many present-day "Anglican" writers - that Anglicanism is not just a via media (between Rome and Geneva, for example) but has been stamped decisively by classic Protestant insights and concerns. He also discusses the implications of Anglicanism's Protestant history for our own age, suggesting that this dimension of Anglicanism has an important contribution to make to the worldwide Christian community in the new millennium. Zahl opens his work by highlighting the Protestant influences in Anglican history and tradition, beginning with the Reformation in England. A short, popular recounting of the crucial Reformation decades is followed by the story of the Protestant tradition within the Church of England from 1688 to the present. Zahl then outlines the Protestant contribution to the American Episcopal Church, from nineteenth-century figures like Bishops Richard Channing Moore of Virginia and Gregory Thurston Bedell of Ohio, through the rise of the "liberal Evangelicals" in the early 1900s, to the Prayer Book of 1979, which effectively neutralized the "Morning Prayer" tradition in the Church. In the final chapter Zahl sketches a four-part theology of Protestant-Anglican identity as well as the Protestant-Anglican opportunity to speak both to the wider church and to the world at large.
Book Synopsis The Future of Christian Realism by : Dallas Gingles
Download or read book The Future of Christian Realism written by Dallas Gingles and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2023-04-15 with total page 411 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the world’s most developed democracies, anxiety about the future of democracy is palpable. The tension between moral aspiration and moral despair has reached a point of crisis. Christian realism arose during a similar time of crisis, when Reinhold Niebuhr used the insights of the Christian tradition to interpret the clash between democracy and totalitarianism. Beginning with Robin Lovin’s account of Christian realism as a nuanced blend of theological, moral, and political realisms, The Future of Christian Realism addresses fundamental topics in theology, ethics, and politics. The contributors come from different traditions, span five continents, and together present a case for the continuing relevance of Christian realism. By paying close attention to many of the most pressing moral challenges facing societies today, the authors illustrate and evaluate the enduring relevance of Christian realism.
Book Synopsis Religious Education from a Critical Realist Perspective by : Johnny C. Go
Download or read book Religious Education from a Critical Realist Perspective written by Johnny C. Go and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-12-14 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the possibility and necessity of critical thinking in religious education through the lenses of critical realism and the Christian doctrine of sensus fidei (‘sense of faith’). Drawing on Bhaskar’s original critical realism and data from a survey of over a thousand teachers in the Philippines, the author argues for a view of critical thinking based on components of ‘disposition’ and ‘competence’. As such, critical thinking becomes the expression of a commitment to judgemental rationality and, in a Christian religious education, is guided by the individual’s sensus fidei. A philosophical and theological discussion of the process of coming to know in the religious domain, Religious Education from a Critical Realist Perspective also offers concrete recommendations on how to promote the practice of religious critical thinking in confessional religious education classrooms. As such, it will appeal to scholars of philosophy, theology and pedagogy with interests in religious education and curriculum development.
Book Synopsis Towards A New Christian Political Realism by : Simon Polinder
Download or read book Towards A New Christian Political Realism written by Simon Polinder and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-07-24 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Towards A New Christian Political Realism presents a new theoretical approach to understanding the role of religion in international relations, considering the strengths of Christian realism, classical realism, and neorealism, as well as the literature about the relevance of religion for IR. The book discusses the resurgence of religion and how it has become ‘public’ in the world since around the 1960s. It extensively describes the role religion plays in Hans Morgenthau’s classical realism and Kenneth Waltz’s neorealism and how both thinkers are indebted to an Augustinian way of thinking that has influenced political realism through Reinhold Niebuhr’s Christian realism. The book presents an alternative approach inspired by the Amsterdam School of Philosophy: a new Christian political realism. It incorporates the theological inspiration of political realism and the necessity of theorizing while doing justice to the relevance and manifold manifestations of religion in international relations. This book will be of interest to scholars and higher-level students of International Relations, the Amsterdam School of Philosophy, Classical Realism, Neorealism, Christian Realism, and Religious Studies, as well as practitioners working in the field of International Relations.

Book Synopsis Rediscovering Christian Realism by : James E. Hassell
Download or read book Rediscovering Christian Realism written by James E. Hassell and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2022-10-07 with total page 65 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What if there were more helpful ways to deal with the increasing polarization and division within our society? What if we could finally overcome the warring between fundamentalists and liberals? In Rediscovering Christian Realism, James Hassell highlights some time-tested and proven methods for Christians both to develop and utilize consecrated common sense. Christian realism is not so much of a program as it is both a way of accepting our sinful humanity and highlighting the Spirit-led way of Jesus. Hassell therefore describes ways to temper our idealism without giving into cynicism, outlining what he calls "The Balanced Approach." The Balanced Approach comes from a synthesis of the best work of past Christian realists such as Reinhold and Richard Niebuhr, Emil Brunner, Paul Tillich, John C. Bennet, and others. Hassell has researched and described their insights especially for contemporary application in the real-world events of the twenty-first century. This book is designed especially for those Christians who may find themselves stuck in how to live out their faith more boldly both in the church fellowship and in the public square.

Book Synopsis Dostoevsky's Incarnational Realism by : Paul J. Contino
Download or read book Dostoevsky's Incarnational Realism written by Paul J. Contino and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2020-08-17 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book Paul Contino offers a theological study of Dostoevsky’s final novel, The Brothers Karamazov. He argues that incarnational realism animates the vision of the novel, and the decisions and actions of its hero, Alyosha Fyodorovich Karamazov. The book takes a close look at Alyosha’s mentor, the Elder Zosima, and the way his role as a confessor and his vision of responsibility “to all, for all” develops and influences Alyosha. The remainder of the study, which serves as a kind of reader’s guide to the novel, follows Alyosha as he takes up the mantle of his elder, develops as a “monk in the world,” and, at the end of three days, ascends in his vision of Cana. The study attends also to Alyosha’s brothers and his ministry to them: Mitya’s struggle to become a “new man” and Ivan’s anguished groping toward responsibility. Finally, Contino traces Alyosha’s generative role with the young people he encounters, and his final message of hope.
Book Synopsis Religion and the Liberal State in Niebuhr's Christian Realism by : Christoph Rohde
Download or read book Religion and the Liberal State in Niebuhr's Christian Realism written by Christoph Rohde and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-09-02 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book intends to analyze Reinhold Niebuhr's understanding of the state in his Christian Realism. Although his overall notion was thoroughly analyzed in different disciplines and respects, this specific focus can be diagnosed as a lacuna. The task of this book is to develop a hypothesis in terms of under what political, social, organizational or intellectual context Niebuhr made use of what definition of the state. When did he support the extension of state power (e. g. in war times, during economic crisis) and when did he criticize tendencies toward autocratic structures inside Western style democracies?
