Book Synopsis The Politics of Religion and the Rise of Social Catholicism in Peru (1884-1935) by : Ricardo Daniel Cubas Ramacciotti
Download or read book The Politics of Religion and the Rise of Social Catholicism in Peru (1884-1935) written by Ricardo Daniel Cubas Ramacciotti and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2017-10-23 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Politics of Religion and the Rise of Social Catholicism in Peru (1884-1935) Ricardo Cubas Ramacciotti provides a lucid synthesis of the Catholic Church’s responses to the secularisation of the State and society whilst offering a fresh appraisal of the emergence of Social Catholicism and its contribution to social thought and development of civil society in post-independence Peru. Making use of diverse historical sources, Cubas provides a comprehensive view of a reformist yet anti-revolutionary trend within the Peruvian Church that, decades before the emergence of Liberation Theology and under divergent intellectual paradigms, developed an active agenda that addressed the new social problems of the country, including those of urban workers, and of indigenous populations.
Book Synopsis Unlikely Friends by : David W. Scott
Download or read book Unlikely Friends written by David W. Scott and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2021-07-08 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Can something as simple as friendship have a transformative impact in a divided world? Through a series of richly textured historical portraits and reflections on personal experience, this book shows that boundary-crossing friendships in Christian mission have shaped theologies, built organizations and partnerships, facilitated mission work, and changed attitudes and ways of thinking. This is true in settings as varied as eighteenth-century French women's work, twentieth-century urban Boston, colonial India, the Jim Crow South, and twentieth-century rural Congo. In all these settings and more, friendship has mattered. Boundary-crossing friendships are, however, not easy. Despite their power, such friendships are complicated by race, gender, ability, class, nationality, and other elements of identity, as this book also demonstrates. Friendships are not immune from the divisions in the world, nor a simple cure-all for them. Still, friendship stands as a powerful testimony to the gospel. Therefore, the book calls for more attention to friendship in the study of mission history and more living out of friendship as a practice of mission. In this way, this book pays honor to Dr. Dana L. Robert as a pre-eminent mission scholar and exemplary friend and mentor to others in the fields of missiology and world Christianity.
Book Synopsis The Morals of the Market by : Jessica Whyte
Download or read book The Morals of the Market written by Jessica Whyte and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2019-11-05 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why did the rise of human rights in the 1970s coincide with the institutionalisation of neoliberalism? And why has the neoliberal age also been the age of human rights? Drawing on detailed archival research on the parallel histories of human rights and neoliberalism, Jessica Whyte uncovers the place of human rights in neoliberal attempts to develop a moral framework for a market society.In the wake of World War Two, neoliberals saw demands for new rights to social welfare and self-determination as threats to 'civilisation'. Yet, rather than rejecting rights, they developed a distinctive account of human rights as tools to depoliticise civil society, protect private investments and shape liberal subjects. Honing in on neoliberal political thought, Whyte shows that the neoliberals developed a stark dichotomy between politics, conceived as conflictual, coercive and violent, and civil society, which they depicted as a realm of mutually-beneficial, voluntary, market relations between individual subjects of rights. In mobilising human rights to provide a moral language for a market society, neoliberals contributed far more than is often realised to today's politics of human rights.
Book Synopsis Cristianismo, Crimen de Lesa Humanidad by : Cesar Octavio Pedraza LóPez

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El poder popular para generar un cambio en sus condiciones social está limitado por su capacidad para separar le verdad de la mentira; pero la tradición religiosa nubla de mitos el entendimiento social, enajenándolo y haciéndolo ingenuo. El presente Tratado señala al Cristianismo como el producto más refinado de ese instrumento institucionalizado del Estado para la dominación ideológica Social, que induciendo ignorancia y temor entre la población, la mantiene en un estado permanente de letargo y en actitud sumisa y dependiente; para entonces manipularla y explotarle con solvencia. Denuncia a una institución responsable de grandes crímenes; y advierte sobre el irreparable daño histórico que el dogma está probando en las formas de convivencia de la sociedad occidental, encausándola hacia una decadencia irreversible. Desentraña las causas objetivas de la religiosidad humana y Revela las trampas psicológicas mediante las que le dogma Cristiano controla y dirige la mente social; proveyendo al lector las armas que le permitirán neutralizar su efecto y alcanzar la emancipación. Entonces exhorta a reconocer que ante la injusticia social debemos -dejando de depender de una connotación divina y de la voluntad de las autoridades sociales-, asumir una participación social activa, madura y responsable.

Book Synopsis Collective Biologies by : Emily A. Wentzell
Download or read book Collective Biologies written by Emily A. Wentzell and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2021-10-11 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Collective Biologies, Emily A. Wentzell uses sexual health research participation as a case study for investigating the use of individual health behaviors to aid groups facing crisis and change. Wentzell analyzes couples' experiences of a longitudinal study of HPV occurrence in men in Cuernavaca, Mexico. She observes how their experiences reflected Mexican cultural understandings of group belonging through categories like family and race. For instance, partners drew on collective rather than individualistic understandings of biology to hope that men's performance of “modern” masculinities, marriage, and healthcare via HPV research would aid groups ranging from church congregations to the Mexican populace. Thus, Wentzell challenges the common regulatory view of medical research participation as an individual pursuit. Instead, she demonstrates that medical research is a daily life arena that people might use for fixing embodied societal problems. By identifying forms of group interconnectedness as “collective biologies,” Wentzell investigates how people can use their own actions to enhance collective health and well-being in ways that neoliberal emphasis on individuality obscures.

Book Synopsis The Right and Radical Right in the Americas by : Tamir Bar-On
Download or read book The Right and Radical Right in the Americas written by Tamir Bar-On and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2021-11-22 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studies of the right and radical right have proliferated since the rise of European nationalist and populist parties in the 1980s. Yet, the literature on the right and the radical right has a largely Euro-American bias and has been limited by partisan academics that focus on the left. The Right and Radical Right in the Americas hopes to be a pioneering work that examines the history and contemporary manifestations of the right and radical right throughout the Americas. From interwar Canada to contemporary Chile, the right and radical right have come in diverse ideological currents. Those ideological currents have undergone historical changes and the strategies of the right and radical right need to be contextualized in respect of country and region. The right and radical right also have distinctive meanings throughout the Americas and in different epochs.
Book Synopsis A Theology of Liberation by : Gustavo Gutierrez
Download or read book A Theology of Liberation written by Gustavo Gutierrez and published by Orbis Books. This book was released on 1988-01-01 with total page 495 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the credo and seminal text of the movement which was later characterized as liberation theology. The book burst upon the scene in the early seventies, and was swiftly acknowledged as a pioneering and prophetic approach to theology which famously made an option for the poor, placing the exploited, the alienated, and the economically wretched at the centre of a programme where "the oppressed and maimed and blind and lame" were prioritized at the expense of those who either maintained the status quo or who abused the structures of power for their own ends. This powerful, compassionate and radical book attracted criticism for daring to mix politics and religion in so explicit a manner, but was also welcomed by those who had the capacity to see that its agenda was nothing more nor less than to give "good news to the poor", and redeem God's people from bondage.
Book Synopsis Contextual Theology and Revolutionary Transformation in Latin America by : Angel D. Santiago-Vendrell
Download or read book Contextual Theology and Revolutionary Transformation in Latin America written by Angel D. Santiago-Vendrell and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2010-06-01 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: U.S. audiences know Latin American liberation theologies largely through translations of Latin American Catholics from the 1970s and beyond. Most of the few known Protestant authors were students of Richard Shaull, whose critical thinking on social change, prophetic Christianity, and dialogue with Marxism and Christian use of Marxist analysis precedes the emergence of the formal schools of liberation theology by two decades. His own education at Princeton, and the education he provided in Brazil, charts the course of Protestant influences into this stream of theological reflection that became a global phenomenon in the latter decades of the twentieth century. Also, Shaull's career roughly parallels the emergence of the World Council of Churches and the engagement of the Catholic Church--in Latin America and around the world--after the Second Vatican Council. He himself was engaged, and became the flash point, in some of the major conferences, movements, and institutions of the 1960s and beyond. Santiago-Vendrell documents the entrance of the ecumenical movement in Brazil, among the most dramatic transformations in Catholic-Protestant relations around the globe, as well as Shaull's role in that development. Along the way he notes Shaull's prophetic and destabilizing role in the worldwide student movement in the 60s and 70s, charting decisions that mark the ecumenical movement. Shaull's contributions are important for an understanding of the ethical debates in the worldwide, ecumenical Protestant and Orthodox communities. Santiago-Vendrell examines primary, secondary, and historical documents that shine a light on Shaull's transformation into a contextual theologian of the poor. He offers a definitive view of this North American Protestant missionary who wrote extensively on Latin American liberation theology, the base Christian communities, and how conversion to solidarity with the poor offers transforming possibilities for the mainline churches' theological identity and practical faith.

This book was released on 2002-07-31 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Para evitar la cautividad cultural, los fundamentos de la educaci—n cristiana deben ser repensados por cada generaci—n.

El autor llama a los educadores evangŽlicos a Çreafirmar las verdades b'blicasÈ, que constituyen la Çautoridad esencial para nuestra teor'a y pr‡cticaÈ, y a Çincorporar las verdades de otras disciplinasÈ, proceso que tiene que estar Çsujeto a la continua autoridad de la Palabra de DiosÈ.

Book Synopsis Religious Transformations and Socio-Political Change by : Luther Martin
Download or read book Religious Transformations and Socio-Political Change written by Luther Martin and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2011-07-26 with total page 473 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The series Religion and Society (RS) contributes to the exploration of religions as social systems– both in Western and non-Western societies; in particular, it examines religions in their differentiation from, and intersection with, other cultural systems, such as art, economy, law and politics. Due attention is given to paradigmatic case or comparative studies that exhibit a clear theoretical orientation with the empirical and historical data of religion and such aspects of religion as ritual, the religious imagination, constructions of tradition, iconography, or media. In addition, the formation of religious communities, their construction of identity, and their relation to society and the wider public are key issues of this series.
