Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Religion in America: Past and Present History, we are told, is the recreation of the past for the enrich t of the present. It is fashioned out of the warp and woof of human erience; and into its rich tapestry are interwoven the strands of hope fear, of dream and disillusion, revealing our kinship with past genera 5. When men have pondered deeply the meaning of existence, they 6 invariably sought fellowship with a power greater than their own ch might inform and guide them through the uctuating currents of poral incertitude. In this way religion has joined the interplay of ces which affect the cultural process. Historically, it has given evidence its potency in a host of societies, not the least of which has been the atively young and burgeoning entity known as the United States. It is lt complex and diversified phenomenon known as American religion th which this book purposes to deal.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The United States a Christian Nation We classify nations in various ways, as, for instance, by their form of government. One is a kingdom, another an empire, and still another a republic. Also by race. Great Britain is an Anglo-Saxon nation, France a Gallic, Germany a Teutonic, Russia a Slav. And still again by religion. One is a Mohammedan nation, others are heathen, and still others are Christian nations. This republic is classified among the Christian nations of the world. It was so formally declared by the Supreme Court of the United States. In the case of Holy Trinity Church vs. United States, 143 U. S. 471, that court, after mentioning various circumstances, added, "these and many other matters which might be noticed, add a volume of unofficial declarations to the mass of organic utterances that this is a Christian nation."

Book Synopsis We Hold These Truths by : John Courtney Murray
Download or read book We Hold These Truths written by John Courtney Murray and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2005 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 1960 publication of We Hold These Truths marked a significant event in the history of modern American thought. Since that time, Sheed & Ward has kept the book in print and has published several studies of John Courtney Murray's life and work. We are proud to present a new edition of this classic text, which features a comprehensive introduction by Peter Lawler that places Murray in the context of Catholic and American history and thought while revealing his relevance today. From the new Introduction by Peter Lawler: The Jesuit John Courtney Murray (1904-67) was, in his time, probably the best known and most widely respected American Catholic writer on the relationship between Catholic philosophy and theology and his country's political life. The highpoint of his influence was the publication of We Hold These Truths in the same year as an election of our country's first Catholic president. Those two events were celebrated by a Time cover story (December 12, 1960) on Murray's work and influence. The story's author, Protestant Douglas Auchincloss, reported that it was "The most relentlessly intellectual cover story I've done." His amazingly wide ranging and dense--if not altogether accurate--account of Murray's thought was crowned with a smart and pointed conclusion: "If anyone can help U.S. Catholics and their non-Catholic countrymen toward the disagreement that precedes understanding--John Courtney Murray can." . . . Murray's work, of course, is treated with great respect and has had considerable influence, but now it's time to begin to think of him as one of America's very few genuine political philosophers. His disarmingly lucid and accessible prose has caused his book to be widely cited and celebrated, but it still is not well understood. It is both praised and blamed for reconciling Catholic faith with the fundamental premises of American political life. It is praised by liberals for paving the way for Vatican II's embrace of the American idea of religious liberty, and it is
Book Synopsis Religion in America by : Robert Baird
Download or read book Religion in America written by Robert Baird and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-14 with total page 530 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Religion in America: Or an Account of the Origin, Relation to the State, and Present Condition of the Evangelical Churches in the United States; With Notices of the Unevangelical Denominations Having had an opportunity of perusing a considerable portion of the following work while it was passing through the press, we have no hesitation in complying with a request made to us by the publishers, to recommend it to the attention of the British public. The author is an esteemed minister of the American Presbyterian Church, and has had full access to the best and most authentic sources of information on the various subjects which he discusses, while his personal acquaintance with the state of religion and the condition of the churches, both in Britain and on the Continent, has afforded him peculiar advantages in selecting the materials with regard to the state of religion, and the efforts made for its promotion in America, which it might be most interesting and useful for the British churches to possess and to examine. The work contains a very large amount of interesting and valuable information with regard to the origin and the history of the different religious bodies in the United States, and their doctrines, constitution, organization, and agency, their relations with each other, and the character and results of the efforts they are making to promote religion in their own country and in other lands. It supplies a larger amount of information upon all these important topics than any work with which we are acquainted; and there can be no reasonable doubt that the information it contains is well fitted to encourage the efforts of all churches which are similarly situated to those in America, and to afford some important practical lessons in the prosecution of those great objects which all Christian churches, in every variety of external circumstances, are bound to aim at. We do not agree in all the opinions which the esteemed author has expressed, but we admire the judicious, benevolent, candid, and catholic spirit by which the work is pervaded. We regard the publication of this work in our own country as a boon conferred upon the British churches, not merely because it gives a fuller view than could anywhere else be obtained of "Religion in America," but also because it is well fitted to promote a spirit of love and kindness among the churches of Christ, and to diffuse more widely the benefits which may be derived from a judicious use of the experience of the American churches, in the peculiar circumstances in which, in providence, they have been placed, and in connexion with the peculiar way in which the Head of the Church has been pleased to make them instrumental in accomplishing his gracious purposes. Whatever diversities of opinion may prevail in this country on some important points connected with the condition and prospects of religion in America, no candid man will deny that religion has there been placed in circumstances, and has appeared in aspects, which are well worthy of serious consideration, and from a judicious investigation of which, important practical lessons are to be learned. And on this ground we hail with much satisfaction the publication of a work which contains a very large amount of information upon this interesting and important subject, and cordially recommend it to the perusal of British Christians.

Book Synopsis Religion and the American Mind by : Alan Heimert
Download or read book Religion and the American Mind written by Alan Heimert and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2006-10-01 with total page 691 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exploring the richness of American thought and experience in the mid-eighteenth century, Alan Heimert develops the intellectual and cultural significance of the religious divisions and debates engendered by one of the most critical episodes in American intellectual history, the Great Awakening of the 1740's. The author's concern throughout is to discover what were the essential issues in a dispute that was not so much a controversy between theologians as a vital competition for the ideological allegiance of the American people. This is not a standard history of any one area of ideas. Mr. Heimert's sources include nearly everything published in America from 1735. His study, in its range and conception, is an original contribution to an understanding of the relationship between colonial religious thought and the evolution of American history.

This book was released on 2015-07-08 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Relation of Religion to Civil Government in the United States of America: A State Without a Church, but Not Without a Religion It has seemed to the author, that it would be proper for him to give to his readers, beforehand, what the astromomers would call, his "personal equation," upon the subject he is now undertaking to discuss. He would, therefore, say that, in the study of the early history of our government, his sympathies have been wholly with the distinctive political views of Washington and Hamilton; and not with those of Jefferson and Madison. His highest admiration is given to those who secured the formation and adoption of the Constitution of the United States, - a Federalist measure - which transformed a weak and unstable confederacy of independent States, into a vigorous and indissoluble Union; leaving the several States in their integrity, while constituting the people of all the States, a Nation. But, that being secured, and unalterably established, the author has found himself drifting away from Federalism. By reason of a mental bent, produced by accidental circumstances, or of a mental type, received by inheritance, he will have to be classed with that school in politics which is negative and restrictive in its policy, rather than with one that is positive and aggressive.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Religious Liberty in America HE organized movement, now in full progress in America, which has for its object the control Of the minds and consciences of men, is the sufficient excuse for the appearance of this monograph. For years the writer has followed the course and studied the aims of certain American organizations whose primal object is the control of religion and religious practises by human law. With much interest and concern, he has watched their progress toward a point of coalescence under common leader ship. Realizing the rapid growth oi their numbers, the coalescence of organizations, and the growing tend ency on the part of politicians to legislate in harmony with organized demands rather than in harmony with broad principles of equitable government, he has be come fully convinced that the success Of that movement means abandonment of the principles that have made America great and stable and a beacon to the world. God created the mind to be free. He has never con ferred upon any one the right to imprison it. Human enactments which circumscribe conscience subject the Soul to a thraldom more humiliating and more ruinous than any the body has ever endured. Where conscience is fettered, there is no freedom worthy Of the name. It took many generations for men to learn that he who prescribes laws to hamper or to crush the consciences Of men makes a slave of himself and of his posterity as well as of those against whom such laws are aimed. He only is free whose mind and conscience are unfettered. He is the greatest of Slaves who must think and believe and worship only as human decrees permit or direct. Law is good; but there is a domain into which human law has not been commissioned to enter, the domain Of the soul. There is an allegiance which the state has a right to claim; but there is another allegiance which only the Creator himself can of right demand. When the state enters that domain and demands that allegiance to itself, it usurps the prerogative of God. The state is within its legitimate sphere when it deals with the temporal affairs of men. The Church is within its legitimate sphere when it deals with the spiritual affairs of men, and even that not as a lord Over men's consciences. When either of these organizations enters the domain of the other, there is discord, contention, bloodshed. When each conducts its Operations within its own legitimate jurisdiction, there is peace, harmony, and prosperity, both temporal and spiritual.
