Book Synopsis Christian Citizens by : Elizabeth L. Jemison
Download or read book Christian Citizens written by Elizabeth L. Jemison and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2020-10-07 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With emancipation, a long battle for equal citizenship began. Bringing together the histories of religion, race, and the South, Elizabeth L. Jemison shows how southerners, black and white, drew on biblical narratives as the basis for very different political imaginaries during and after Reconstruction. Focusing on everyday Protestants in the Mississippi River Valley, Jemison scours their biblical thinking and religious attitudes toward race. She argues that the evangelical groups that dominated this portion of the South shaped contesting visions of black and white rights. Black evangelicals saw the argument for their identities as Christians and as fully endowed citizens supported by their readings of both the Bible and U.S. law. The Bible, as they saw it, prohibited racial hierarchy, and Amendments 13, 14, and 15 advanced equal rights. Countering this, white evangelicals continued to emphasize a hierarchical paternalistic order that, shorn of earlier justifications for placing whites in charge of blacks, now fell into the defense of an increasingly violent white supremacist social order. They defined aspects of Christian identity so as to suppress black equality—even praying, as Jemison documents, for wisdom in how to deny voting rights to blacks. This religious culture has played into remarkably long-lasting patterns of inequality and segregation.

Book Synopsis Christians in the American Empire by : Vincent D. Rougeau
Download or read book Christians in the American Empire written by Vincent D. Rougeau and published by OUP USA. This book was released on 2008-11-06 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book challenges the argument that the United States is a Christian nation, and that the American founding and the American Constitution can be linked to a Christian understanding of the state and society. Vincent Rougeau argues that the United States has become an economic empire of consumer citizens, led by elites who seek to secure American political and economic dominance around the world. Freedom and democracy for the oppressed are the public themes put forward to justify this dominance, but the driving force behind American hegemony is the need to sustain economic growth and maintain social peace in the United States. --from publisher description.

Book Synopsis Christian Citizenship in the Middle East by : Mohammed Girma
Download or read book Christian Citizenship in the Middle East written by Mohammed Girma and published by Jessica Kingsley Publishers. This book was released on 2017-07-21 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For Christians living as a persecuted minority in the Middle East, the question of whether their allegiance should lie with their faith or with the national communities they live in is a difficult one. This collection of essays aims to reconcile this conflict of allegiance by looking at the biblical vision of citizenship and showing that Christians can live and work as citizens of the state without compromising their beliefs and make a constructive contribution to the life of the countries they live in. The contributors come from a range of prestigious academic and religious posts and provide analysis on a range of issues such as dual nationalism, patriotism and the increase of Islamic fundamentalism. An insightful look into the challenges religious minorities face in countries where they are a minority, these essays provide a peace-building and reconciliatory conclusion for readers to consider.

Book Synopsis Christian Citizens and the Moral Regeneration of the African State by : Barbara Bompani
Download or read book Christian Citizens and the Moral Regeneration of the African State written by Barbara Bompani and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-10-23 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years the rapid growth of Christian charismatic movements throughout sub-Saharan Africa has drastically reconfigured the region’s religious landscape. As a result, charismatic factions play an increasingly public role throughout Africa, far beyond the religious sphere. This book uses a multi-disciplinary approach to consider the complex relationship between Pentecostal-charismatic Christianity and the socio-political transformation taking place throughout this region. Each of this text’s three main sections helps in understanding how discourses of moral regeneration emanating from these diverse Christian communities, largely charismatic, extend beyond religious bounds. Part 1 covers politics, political elites and elections, Part 2 explores society, economies and the public sphere, and Part 3 discusses values, public beliefs and morality. These sections also highlight how these discourses contribute to the transformation of three specific social milieus to reinforce visions of the Christian citizen. Examining contemporary examples with high quality scholarly insight, this book is vital reading for academics and students with an interest in the relationship between religion, politics and development in Africa.

Book Synopsis Revolutionary Christian Citizenship by : John Howard Yoder
Download or read book Revolutionary Christian Citizenship written by John Howard Yoder and published by MennoMedia, Inc.. This book was released on 2013-09-13 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a world where many believers have lost a sense of their true home in God’s alternative society, Revolutionary Christian Citizenship addresses the difficulties of being both a follower of Jesus and a citizen of a political nation. Down-to-earth and original, theologian John Howard Yoder challenges traditional understanding of politics and reconsiders Christian citizenship in three parts: the witness of Jesus, the witness of the church, and witness in action. More accessible and practical than most of Yoder’s works, Revolutionary Christian Citizenship bridges the gap between faith and politics, equipping us to faithfully represent Christ in society and wage peace in a world of war. Book Two in the Yoder for Everyone series. Free downloadable study guide available here.
