Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although the religions of the Caribbean have been a subject of popular media, there have been few ethnographic publications. This text is a much-needed and long overdue addition to Caribbean studies and the exploration of ideas, beliefs, and religious practices of Caribbean folk in diaspora and at home. Drawing upon ethnographic and historical research in a variety of contexts and settings, the contributors to this volume explore the relationship between religious and social life. Whether practiced at home or abroad, the contributors contend that the religions of Caribbean folk are dynamic and creative endeavors that have mediated the ongoing and open-ended relation between local and global, historical and contemporary change.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Surrounded by steep escarpments to the north, south and east, Ethiopia has always been geographically and culturally set apart. It has the longest archaeological record of any country in the world. Indeed, this precipitous mountain land was where the human race began. It is also home to an ancient church with a remarkable legacy. The Ethiopian Church forms the southern branch of historic Christianity. It is the only pre-colonial church in sub-Saharan Africa, originating in one of the earliest Christian kingdoms-with its king Ezana (supposedly descended from the biblical Solomon) converting around 340 CE. Since then it has maintained its long Christian witness in a region dominated by Islam; today it has a membership of around forty million and is rapidly growing. Yet despite its importance, there has been no comprehensive study available in English of its theology and history. This is a large gap which this authoritative and engagingly written book seeks to fill. The Church of Ethiopia (or formally, the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church) has a recognized place in worldwide Christianity as one of five non-Chalcedonian Orthodox Churches.As Dr Binns shows, it has developed a distinctive approach which makes it different from all other churches. His book explains why this happened and how these special features have shaped the life of the Christian people of Ethiopia. He discusses the famous rock-hewn churches; the Ark of the Covenant (claimed by the Church and housed in Aksum); the medieval monastic tradition; relations with the Coptic Church; co-existence with Islam; missionary activity; and the Church's venerable oral traditions, especially the discipline of qene-a kind of theological reflection couched in a unique style of improvised allegorical poetry. There is also a sustained exploration of how the Church has been forced to re-think its identity and mission as a result of political changes and upheaval following the overthrow of Haile Selassie (who ruled as Regent, 1916-1930, and then as Emperor, 1930-74) and beyond.

This book was released on 2014-02-01 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Orthodox Tewahedo Christian doctrine in Ethiopian practice has different possibilities: (a) within church compounds the protection of nature (respect of creation), (b) outside the submission of nature, as the Bible demands – both are Christian behaviors! Church is not pro-nature. The Church itself has set up a partition into sacred and profane, with different rule for both spheres; both systems of rules exist parallel. The followers respect the plants and animals in the church compound as end by themselves than a means to their economic objectives; they respect them not for their economic value rather for their perceived duty; respect to God as Church is the house of God. The people do not consider the plants and animals in the Church as simply normal animals rather they are believed to have a metaphysical divine power. Hence, it is impossible to put the follower's ethical perspective in exclusive manner rather it is both anthropocentristic and deep ecological which can be determined by the nature of the space occupied by the recourses.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the biblical interpretation of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahido Church (EOTC). In doing so, it illuminates the interpretation of the Bible in a particular historical and cultural context and presents a compelling example of the contextual nature of biblical interpretation. Those who visit Ethiopia experience its unique spirituality, which is significantly informed by the presence of the EOTC. The EOTC has existed from earliest years of the Christian church. It has also developed and maintained its own ecclesiastic tradition in the Ethiopian context and has its own distinctive way of reading the Bible. It is noteworthy, particularly in the African context, that it has its own commentaries on the Scriptures, which continue to serve as a vital tradition in the EOTC's interpretation of the Bible. This is evident in the contemporary hermeneutics and sermons of EOTC preachers. In its comprehensive consideration of the EOTC's past and present, this book examines the interplay between tradition and context in biblical interpretation and contributes to current biblical scholarship.

Book excerpt: This book is an important work on contemporary Jamaican music whose author has himself been deeply involved in its evolution. The book examines the historical context from which Reggae emerged, including the social and cultural significance of Africa. It traces the origins of the people who settled in Jamaica during the fifteenth century as slaves from Africa, and the manner in which they survived with their song, dance and culture. The book demonstrates the stylistic links with Africa and the different forms of expression in popular Jamaican music. It traces the rise of the distinct and unique Jamaican music, from its original imitation of the Afro-American R&B in the 1950s, through the popularization of this music by the sound systems, and its indigenization in 1962 as Ska: the first profound expression of a Jamaican popular musical identity and sensibility. The book also shows the major contribution that Rastafari has made in the evolution of both Jamaican music and society. The importance of musicians, singers, producers and entrepreneurs in the development of the music, from rock steady to reggae/rockers, is then discussed. There are stories of woe and exploitation, but they do not diminish the impact that the music has made internationally and on national music cultures today.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ethiopia is one of the well-known countries in the Bible. Since the time of Queen of Sheba who visited King Solomon in Jerusalem (Mt. 12: 42), the country practised monotheism and accepted the Old Testament. It was at the time of her son, Emperor Minilik I (1000 BC) that the Ark of the Covenant was brought to the country. Since then, Ethiopians used to travel to Jerusalem to worship the one true God with Israelites. Therefore, some Ethiopians were able to be present in the Holy City on the day of Pentecost. One of the Ethiopians, who travelled to Jerusalem in AD 34, just a few months after the ascension of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, was the eunuch, treasurer, of Queen Candace of Ethiopia. On his return journey from Jerusalem where he worshipped the one true God he became a Christian baptised by Philip the Apostle (Acts 8: 26-39). Then, he returned home to Ethiopia and commenced evangelising his fellow citizens, the people of Ethiopia. This book illustrates how the Roman Catholic missionaries devastated the ancient Christian societies in Ethiopia (the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahido Church). This examination shows why the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahido Church was left exposed to repeated Islamic attacks and the offensive mission of Chalcedonian missionaries against the aforementioned Church. The later caused civil war and Christological controversies that brought the internal disintegration of Christian Ethiopia, which lasted for more than two centuries.

This book was released on 2024-04-30 with total page 553 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although the origins of Christianity lie in the Near East, Europe and Christianity have an exceptional relationship, since most Europeans perceive Christianity as a Western - more precisely, as a European - religion. The region has seen rapid social change in the 21st century, set off by factors including energy crisis and environmental awareness, poverty and exclusion, falling birthrates and increased migration, changing attitudes to sexuality, gender and family life, and challenges to Europe's idea of itself and place in the global order. Amidst all this flux, this volume focuses on one particular issue: the rapidly changing profile of the Christian faith that has shaped the life of the European continent for a millennium and more.At a time when patterns of Christian life and worship appear to be dying out, yet traces of new life are also appearing, this volume maps out the current reality of Christianity in Western and Northern Europe with all its questions and uncertainties.

Since the earliest years of the Christian church the EOTC has significantly informed the unique spirituality of Ethiopia. Drawing on his own experience of teaching theology in Ethiopia, Keon-Sang An provides a comprehensive consideration of the EOTC's past and present, and examines the interplay between tradition and context in biblical interpretation. An Ethiopian Reading of the Bible contributes much to current biblical scholarship and equips readers with the tools for a future of mutual learning.
