Book Synopsis The Evangelical Mind and the New School Presbyterian Experience by : George Marsden
Download or read book The Evangelical Mind and the New School Presbyterian Experience written by George Marsden and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2003-12-23 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The passing of reformed theology as a major influence in American life during the nineteenth century was not a spectacular event, and its mourners have been relatively few. Calvinism, when it is mentioned, is still often portrayed as a dark cloud that hovered too long over America, acting as an unhealthy influence on the climate of opinion. Nonetheless, the transition from the theologically oriented and well-formed Calvinism characteristic of much of American Protestantism at the beginning of the nineteenth century to the nontheologically oriented and often poorly informed conservative Protestantism firmly established in middle-class America by the end of the same century remains a remarkable aspect of American intellectual and ecclesiastical history. The twentieth-century attitude, itself a product of this transition, has placed strong emphasis on nineteenth-century Protestant activities - their organizations, their revivals, and their reforms. The mind of American Protestantism in these transitional years deserves at least equal consideration." -from the Introduction

Book Synopsis The Presbyterian Creed by : S. Donald Fortson
Download or read book The Presbyterian Creed written by S. Donald Fortson and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2009-02-16 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The American Presbyterian creed up until the second half of the twentieth century has been the confessional tradition of the Westminster Assembly (1643-48). Presbyterians in America adopted the Westminster Confession and Catechisms in 1729 through a compromise measure that produced ongoing debate for the next hundred years. Differences over the meaning of confessional subscription were a continuing cause of the Presbyterian schisms of 1741 and 1837. The Presbyterian Creed is a study of the factors that led to the ninteenth-century Old School/New School schism and the Presbyterian reunions of 1864 and 1870. In these reunions, American Presbyterians finally reached consensus on the meaning of confessional subscription that had previously been so elusive.
Book Synopsis Presbyterians and American Culture by : Bradley J. Longfield
Download or read book Presbyterians and American Culture written by Bradley J. Longfield and published by Westminster John Knox Press. This book was released on 2013-01-01 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a history of Presbyterians in American culture from the early eighteenth to the late twentieth century. Longfield assesses both the theological and cultural development of American Presbyterianism, with particular focus on the mainline tradition that is expressed most prominently in the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.). He explores how Presbyterian churches--and individuals rooted in those churches--influenced and were influenced by the values, attitudes, perspectives, beliefs, and ideals assumed by Americans in the course of American history. The book will serve as an important introduction to Presbyterian history that will interest historians, students, and church leaders alike.

Book Synopsis Empowered Witness (Foreword by Kevin DeYoung) by : Alan D. Strange
Download or read book Empowered Witness (Foreword by Kevin DeYoung) written by Alan D. Strange and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2024-01-23 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rediscovering the Spirituality of the Church in Our Highly Politicized Age The goal of the church should be simple—share the gospel to the ends of the earth. But in our highly politicized age, Christians can tend to place earthly political and social agendas over God's spiritual mission of the church. In Empowered Witness, author Alan D. Strange examines the doctrine of the spirituality of the church, making a clear distinction between the functions of the church and other institutions. Strange argues that if the church continues to push political agendas, no institution will be focused solely on the Great Commission and the gospel will be lost entirely. This book calls readers to become aware of the church's power and limits and shed light on moral issues in a way that doesn't alter the deeply spiritual and gospel-centered mission of the church. Explores the Spirituality of the Church: An important biblical doctrine developed in the 19th century Appeals to Thoughtful Laypeople and Church Leaders: Considers the critical distinctions between the church and other institutions Historical: Examines the purpose of the church throughout history and the development of the spirituality of the church in the 19th century Foreword by Kevin DeYoung: Author of Just Do Something; Crazy Busy; and The Biggest Story

Book Synopsis The Urban Pulpit by : Matthew Bowman
Download or read book The Urban Pulpit written by Matthew Bowman and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2014-02-04 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Matthew Bowman explores the world of a neglected group of American Christians: the self-identified liberal evangelicals who began in late nineteenth-century New York to reconcile traditional evangelical spirituality with progressive views on social activism and theological questions. These evangelicals emphasized the importance of supernatural conversion experience, but also argued that scientific advances, new movements in art, and the decline in poverty created by a new industrial economy could facilitate encounters with Christ. The Urban Pulpit chronicles the struggle of liberal evangelicals against conservative Protestants who questioned their theological sincerity and against secular reformers who grew increasingly devoted to the cause of cultural pluralism and increasingly suspicious of evangelicals over the course of the twentieth century. Liberal evangelicals walked a difficult path, facing increasing polarization in twentieth-century American public life; both conservative evangelicals and secular reformers insisted that religion and science were necessarily at odds and that evangelical Christianity was incompatible with cultural diversity. Liberal evangelicals rejected these simple dichotomies, but nonetheless found it increasingly difficult to defend their middle way. Drawing on history, anthropology, and religious studies, Bowman paints a complex portrait of these understudied Christians at work, at worship, and engaged in advocacy in the public square.
Book Synopsis The Presbyterian Churches and the Federal Union, 1861-1869 by : Lewis George Vander Velde
Download or read book The Presbyterian Churches and the Federal Union, 1861-1869 written by Lewis George Vander Velde and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 1932 with total page 598 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book deals with the history of the particular American religious sect which, because of its large and varied membership, its intellectual vigor, and the part played by its clergy in shaping public thought, affords the richest field for a study of the influence of religious organizations upon American life. The story of the struggle of the Old School Presbyterian leaders to choose between their desire to avoid a break in their church and their feeling that it was their duty to voice their loyalty to the Union forms an interesting and illuminating commentary on the problems of the troublous times of the War of the Rebellion. The minor Presbyterian groups played varying parts, but always occupied more than their proportionate share of public attention because each met its own problems with a characteristically Presbyterian individuality. Professor Vander Velde's monograph is important not only for American religious history but also for the fact that it illustrates how closely Church and State were related during the Civil War period.
