Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The most authoritative resource on religious trends in America—now fully updated Most Americans say they believe in God, and more than a third say they attend religious services every week. Yet studies show that people do not really go to church as often as they claim, and it is not always clear what they mean when they tell pollsters they believe in God or pray. American Religion presents the best and most up-to-date information about religious trends in the United States, in a succinct and accessible manner. This sourcebook provides essential information about key developments in American religion since 1972, and is the first major resource of its kind to appear in more than two decades. Mark Chaves looks at trends in diversity, belief, involvement, congregational life, leadership, liberal Protestant decline, and polarization. He draws on two important surveys: the General Social Survey, an ongoing survey of Americans' changing attitudes and behaviors, begun in 1972; and the National Congregations Study, a survey of American religious congregations across the religious spectrum. Chaves finds that American religious life has seen much continuity in recent decades, but also much change. He challenges the popular notion that religion is witnessing a resurgence in the United States—in fact, traditional belief and practice is either stable or declining. Chaves examines why the decline in liberal Protestant denominations has been accompanied by the spread of liberal Protestant attitudes about religious and social tolerance, how confidence in religious institutions has declined more than confidence in secular institutions, and a host of other crucial trends. Now with updated data and a new preface by the author, this revised edition provides essential information about key developments in American religion since 1972, plainly showing that religiosity is declining in America.

Download or read book Congregations in America written by Mark Chaves and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2009-07-01 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More Americans belong to religious congregations than to any other kind of voluntary association. What these vast numbers amount to--what people are doing in the over 300,000 churches, synagogues, mosques, and temples in the United States--is a question that resonates through every quarter of American society, particularly in these times of "faith-based initiatives," "moral majorities," and militant fundamentalism. And it is a question answered in depth and in detail in Congregations in America. Drawing on the 1998 National Congregations Study--the first systematic study of its kind--as well as a broad range of quantitative, qualitative, and historical evidence, this book provides a comprehensive overview of the most significant form of collective religious expression in American society: local congregations. Among its more surprising findings, Congregations in America reveals that, despite the media focus on the political and social activities of religious groups, the arts are actually far more central to the workings of congregations. Here we see how, far from emphasizing the pursuit of charity or justice through social services or politics, congregations mainly traffic in ritual, knowledge, and beauty through the cultural activities of worship, religious education, and the arts. Along with clarifying--and debunking--arguments on both sides of the debate over faith-based initiatives, the information presented here comprises a unique and invaluable resource, answering previously unanswerable questions about the size, nature, make-up, finances, activities, and proclivities of these organizations at the very center of American life.

Download or read book Thou Shalt Not Kill written by Pierre Viret and published by . This book was released on 2016-10-12 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anger, hatred, and the taking of innocent life are issues that have plagued the world since the days of Cain and Abel. When is anger justifiable? What constitutes unrighteous anger? How are Christians to view suicide, abortion, euthanasia, mercy-killing, and the like? What do the Scriptures say about engaging in wars or killing in self-defense? Within this book Swiss Reformer Pierre Viret (1511-1571) discusses the Biblical principles needed to address the crucial issues of our day regarding life and death. Questions of anger and hatred, brotherly reconciliation, murders and magistrates, the death penalty and pardon, just wars, the shedding of innocent blood, and much more is examined and considered through the lens of Scripture within this little treatise. Joining Pierre Viret is fellow-Reformer John Calvin with a sermon preached on the shedding of innocent blood. Drawing from the doctrines laid down in Scripture, Calvin examines the duties and roles of men, Christians, and magistrates when innocent blood has been shed in their land.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book sheds new light on the origin of Calvinism and the Reformed faith through a detailed history of its progress in the Pays de Vaud. A careful examination of twin conflicts – the forced conversion of a Catholic populace to Protestantism by the Bernese; and the struggle of Calvinists against the Zwinglian political and theological ideas that dominated the Swiss Confederation – helps show why the Reformation bloomed where and when it did.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Suite à la révolution radicale de février 1845 et pendant plus d'un siècle, le protestantisme vaudois, religion de la nation, a été déchiré entre une Eglise liée à l'Etat et une seconde qui se voulait libre. Pour la première fois, cet épisode constitutif de l'identité religieuse de la Suisse romande est analysé. L'auteur souligne notamment l'originalité d'une Eglise libre pionnière dans la mise en place de progrès sociaux. Il montre de quelle manière une minorité religieuse active a marqué le paysage religieux, intellectuel et social du canton de Vaud. Nationaux et libristes se trouvèrent divisés jusqu'à ce que le contexte de sécularisation avancée des années 1950 rende possible une négociation à nouveaux frais qui aboutit en 1966. Ce livre passionnant retrace l'histoire contemporaine de la religion en contexte vaudois, mais avec des enjeux bien plus vastes liés entre autres à la laïcité. Il s'impose par les perspectives nouvelles qu'il ouvre.

Book excerpt: "Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor."Whether committed by words, actions, or thoughts, the act of bearing false witness is a dangerous plague infecting churches, families, and nations.What is truth? How is it defended or violated? Is lying ever lawful, and can the truth be withheld from tyrants and wicked men? Can judges be guilty of bearing false witness? What do the Scriptures mean when they demand an eye for an eye?To answer these and many more questions, Defend the Truth brings together the writings of Swiss Reformer Pierre Viret and his contemporary John Calvin as they discuss the meaning and applicability of the ninth commandment. With penetrating insight and refreshing Biblical application, these two Reformers discuss the wide scope of this commandment of the Law, covering topics including truth, falsehood, deception, slander, perjury, true justice, and more.
