Book Synopsis Christianity in Oman by : Andrew David Thompson
Download or read book Christianity in Oman written by Andrew David Thompson and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-10-31 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the relationship between the distinctive Islamic beliefs (Ibadism) of Oman and how they define the experience of the church with regards to religious freedom. Oman is a nation with a long and glorious history of maritime trade, stretching from China and India to the East coast of Africa. From sultan to shopkeeper, farmer to craftsman, the citizens of Oman embrace a surprising diversity of cultural heritage ranging from Baluchi, Persian, Yemeni, and East African. Yet, there has hitherto been very little research about Christianity in this part of the world. Through the use of historical research, interviews and theological discourse, Andrew David Thompson analyzes and reveals the distinctive experience of the Church in Oman.

Book Synopsis Political Islam in the Gulf Region by : Khalid Al-Jaber
Download or read book Political Islam in the Gulf Region written by Khalid Al-Jaber and published by Gulf International Forum. This book was released on 2021-12-31 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the phenomenon of political Islam in the Gulf region. Existing scholarship on this topic is mostly dedicated to the varied religious groups' position on violence and democracy. This book expands on the topic and investigates the complexities of the relationship of individuals to religion, the state, and societies, and the organization of their lives and spiritual affairs in the Middle East with particular emphasis on the unique environment of the Gulf. Given the importance of the political Islamic context to the politics, regional interventions, economics, and society of the Gulf states, this book will be an essential tool in giving, policy makers, practitioners, and the larger public a detailed view of a complicated but essential topic.

Book Synopsis Early Christianity in North Africa by : Francois Decret
Download or read book Early Christianity in North Africa written by Francois Decret and published by James Clarke & Company. This book was released on 2011-06-30 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Martyrs, exegetes, catechumens, and councils enlarge this study of North African Christianity, a region often reduced to its dominant patristic personalities. Smither provides English readers a quality translation of an important book that captures the unique spirit of an invaluable chapter of church history. Along with the churches located in large Greek cities of the East, the church of Carthage was particularly significant in the early centuries of Christian history. Initially, the Carthaginian churchbecame known for its martyrs. Later, the North African church became further established and unified through the regular councils of its bishops. Finally, the church gained a reputation for its outstanding leaders - Tertullian of Carthage (c. 140-220), Cyprian of Carthage (195-258), and Augustine of Hippo (354-430) - African leaders who continued to be celebrated and remembered today.
Book Synopsis Baillie, Oman, and Macmurray by : Adam Hood
Download or read book Baillie, Oman, and Macmurray written by Adam Hood and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2003 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the nature of religious belief in the light of the interpretation of the Christian religion given by John Oman, John Baillie and John Macmurray. Each of these were lauded Scottish thinkers of the 20th century, and this book reintroduces contemporary theologians and students to the value of their respective philosophies of religion. Macmurray, Baillie and Oman each argued that Christianity can be best understood by employing the concept of 'experience', and is best seen as a response to problems and challenges that arise in the course of everyday life. Each also argued that Christianity is both cognitive and practical. Adam Hood draws on the work of these three thinkers and on the resources of theology and analytical philosophy to present an important departure point for understanding the Christian faith and for appreciating the role of Christianity within the wider cultural frame. Hood concludes that an experiential approach is consistent with religious and cultural pluralism.
Book Synopsis Christianity and Private Law by : Robert F. Cochran, Jr
Download or read book Christianity and Private Law written by Robert F. Cochran, Jr and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-11-22 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume examines the relationship between Christian legal theory and the fields of private law. Recent years have seen a resurgence of interest in private law theory, and this book contributes to that discussion by drawing on the historical, theological, and philosophical resources of the Christian tradition. The book begins with an introduction from the editors that lays out the understanding of "private law" and what distinguishes private law topics from other fields of law. This section includes two survey chapters on natural law and biblical sources. The remaining sections of the book move sequentially through the fields of property, contracts, and torts. Several chapters focus on historical sources and show the ways in which the evolution of legal doctrine in areas of private law has been heavily influenced by Christian thinkers. Other chapters draw out more contemporary and public policy-related implications for private law. While this book is focused on the relationship of Christianity to private law, it will be of broad interest to those who might not share that faith perspective. In particular, legal historians and philosophers of law will find much of interest in the original scholarship in this volume. The book will be attractive to teachers of law, political science, and theology. It will be of special interest to the many law faculty in property, contracts, and torts, as it provides a set of often overlooked historical and theoretical perspectives on these fields.
Book Synopsis The Neo-Orthodox Theology of W.W. Bryden by : John A Vissers
Download or read book The Neo-Orthodox Theology of W.W. Bryden written by John A Vissers and published by James Clarke & Company. This book was released on 2011-11-24 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Walter W. Bryden was Principal of Knox College, Toronto, after the Second World War, and one of the leading Presbyterian theologians of the period from the 1920s to the 1950s. In The Neo-Orthodox Theology of W.W. Bryden, John Vissers makes an important contribution by analysing Bryden's thought, placing it in the context of contemporary European and American theology. Vissers emphasises in particular Bryden's role in introducing and popularising the ideas of Karl Barth in North America prior to the translation of Barth's Commentary on Romans into English, and his Neo-Orthodox theology owed much to Barthian ideas. In his most important work, The Christian's Knowledge of God, Bryden challenged the modernist emphasis on the rational, arguing for a Christocentric doctrine of Revelation. Vissers brings a wealth of scholarship and research to his subject, revealing Bryden's pivotal role in the development of neo-orthodoxy within the Protestant tradition in North America, a role that previous studies have often failed to explore.

Book Synopsis Grace and Personality by : John Oman
Download or read book Grace and Personality written by John Oman and published by . This book was released on 1925 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "First published in 1917, this book by the theologian John Oman was based on a series of articles that originally appeared in the Expositor beginning in October 1911. Although the theological underpinnings of the articles remained largely unaltered, the publication of the book itself was considerably influenced by the events of the First World War. Oman reflects on the effects of the war in his preface: 'It scattered my students, interrupted more directly historical and philosophical studies into which an appointment to the University lectureship on the Philosophy of Religion at Cambridge had led me, sent me into camps and hospitals where fundamental religious questions were constantly being discussed, and forced upon me the reconsideration of my whole religious position.' The resulting work is a sober theological treatise on the themes of grace and personality, borne out of many years of personal reflection, and offering what Oman hoped would be 'a Christian valuation of men and means, souls and things'." --
