"An acclaimed author shows that understanding evangelicalism means understanding not only the faith commitments at the movement's core but also the images, metaphors, assumptions, and stories that cultivate evangelical culture"-- Provided by publisher.
In this book, author Karen Swallow Prior examines evangelical history, both good and bad. By analyzing the literature, art, and popular culture that has surrounded evangelicalism, she unpacks some of the movement's most deeply held concepts, ideas, values, and practices to consider what is Christian rather than merely cultural. The result is a clearer path forward for evangelicals amid their current identity crisis--and insight for others who want a deeper understanding of what the term "evangelical" means today.

"La Epistula consolatoria o De consolatione in aduersis (CPL 999) es un texto tradicionalmente impreso entre las obras latinas del Padre de la Iglesia Griega Basilio Magno. Se trata de una adaptación cristiana de la consolatio antigua que adopta la forma de una carta dirigida a un genérico frater para ofrecerle consuelo ante la adversidad --en particular, ante la enfermedad y, específicamente, la lepra-- y concienciarlo de que la adversidad es el castigo divino del pecador y un estímulo para el justo. El interés de una nueva edición es triple. Por un lado, en el aspecto textual, se ha empleado por primera vez el códice 275 de la Biblioteca municipal de Angers, que constituye el mejor testimonio de la tradición manuscrita. Su lectura permite, en segundo lugar, un examen detallado de la lengua de la obra, que presenta las particularidades propias del latín merovingio. Por último, las abundantes citas bíblicas pertenecen todavía en su mayoría a la Vetus Latina e incluyen versiones y pasajes de gran valor. El estudio de fuentes, lengua y tradición manuscrita permite deducir que no se trata de una traducción del griego, sino de una obra genuinamente latina, compuesta en época tardoantigua (s. V-VI) probablemente en la Galia."-- Publisher's website.
"In volume 102 of the Corpus Christianorum. Series Latina Prof. Álvaro Cancela Cilleruelo presents a thorough investigation and a new critical edition of the Epistula consolatoria, also known as the De consolatione in aduersis (CPL 999), by a Ps.-Basilius who probably lived in Gaul in late antiquity (5th-6th centuries)."-- Publisher's website.

"Voici la fameuse "boîte à remèdes", ou Panarion, qui a valu à son auteur d'être tenu pour le grand hérésiologue de son temps : vers le milieu des années 370, Épiphane, évêque de Salamine, y consigne l'étude de quatre-vingts hérésies, conservant par là-même des textes et des informations uniques sur les dossiers les plus sensibles. Une somme capitale pour la connaissance du christianisme des premiers siècles, des courants divers qui l'ont traversé, des polémiques et des débats doctrinaux qui ont opposé la "Grande Église" à ceux qu'elle marginalisait ou excluait au moyen du grief d'hérésie. Après une introduction générale et un résumé des quatre-vingts hérésies, ce volume contient le premier tome du livre I, avec ses préfaces, qui compose un tableau des "hérésies" non chrétiennes (Hérésies 1 à 20 : barbarisme, scythisme, hellénisme, judaïsme, stoïciens, platoniciens, pythagoriciens, épicuriens, Samaritains, esséniens...), et la première partie du tome II, avec les Hérésies 21 à 25 (simoniens, Ménandre, Satornil, Basilide, nicolaïtes) précédées de l'exposé Sur l'Incarnation. Un document fondamental sur le rapport du christianisme avec les païens, les juifs, les philosophes grecs et les gnostiques, qu'il permet de mieux connaître."--Page 4 of cover.

Vers lan 200, Cľment dAlexandrie entreprend lčriture de Stromates (ou Tapisseries), o̮ il voit dans le christianisme laccomplissement de la sagesse grecque et de ses efforts de raison et de vertu. Dans ce premier Stromate, il montre que la philosophie ne soppose pas ̉ la foi chřtienne mais vient la nourrir et la consolider. Il nignore pas cependant les rapports conflictuels que connaissent pa̐ens et chřtiens, et souligne que la culture grecque si fïre delle-m̊me doit plus quelle ne le pense ̉ la sagesse biblique. Il se lance dans de vastes ̌tudes chronologiques pour prouver lanťrioriť de la Bible sur les auteurs grecs. Il cite au passage nombre dauteurs pa̐ens, souvent perdus, pour montrer combien convergent rationaliť grecque et řv̌lation biblique : cette documentation hors du commun fait de son oeuvre une source essentielle pour lhistoire de la philosophie et de la litťrature grecque pa̐ennes. Cette nouvelle ̌dition du Stromate I, pourvue dune annotation přcise et dindex riches, indispensables pour entrer dans un texte aussi foisonnant, remplace celle de C. Monďsert et M. Caster, parue en 1951 (SC 30). --Provided by publisher.

"In the decades following the era of decolonization, global Christianity experienced a seismic shift. While Catholicism and Protestantism has declined in its historic European strongholds, it has sustained explosive growth in Asia, Latin America, and Africa. This demographic change has established Christians from the Global South as an increasingly dominant presence in modern Christian thought, culture, and politics. Decolonization and the Remaking of Christianity unearths the roots of this development, charting the metamorphosis of Christian practice and institutions across five continents throughout the pivotal years of decolonization. The essays in this collection illustrate the diverse new ideas, rituals, and organizations created in the wake of Western imperialism's formal collapse and investigate how religious leaders, politicians, theologians, and lay people debated and shaped a new Christianity for a postcolonial world. This collection argues that the collapse of colonialism and broader cultural challenges to Western power fostered new organizations, theologies, and political engagements across the world, ultimately setting Christianity on its current trajectory away from its colonial heritage. These essays interrogate decolonization's varied and conflicting impacts on global Christianity, while also providing a novel framework for rethinking decolonization's modern legacies. Taken together, this book charts the relationship between decolonization and Christianity on a truly global scale."-- Provided by publisher.

"From the end of the Civil War until the early twentieth century, Anglo, immigrant, and African American settlers were moving north and west faster than ministers within the major denominations could follow them with churches. In 1890, Northern Methodists, the largest Protestant denomination, only claimed 3.5 percent of the American population. Roman Catholics claimed 9.9 percent, and African American Baptists, the largest Black denomination, claimed only 18 percent of the African American population. In total, under 30 percent of Americans went to church on a weekly basis. While African American churches served a relatively larger role within their communities, the major white denominations played a minor role in the lives of the working poor. Clergymen like Dwight Moody reflected, "The gulf between the churches and the mases is growing deeper, wider and darker every hour." Home missionaries like Josiah Strong warned, "Few appreciate how we have become a non-churchgoing-people." Strong was right. In large fractions of the country, especially mining and industrial centers in the West, a simple lack of church edifices and long-term ministers to fundraise for them gave way to a vacuum of Protestant, denominational authority. In part, this disconnect between the number of churches and the size of the population was a result of culturally dislocated migrants. In 1890, more than 9 million Americans were foreign-born, and only a small fraction of those Americans had any familiarity with Anglo-Protestant traditions. They were joined by another 1 million African Americans migrants from the South to northern industrial centers. But this was only one of many reasons the poor did not go to church with the wealthy. While middle-class families paid lip service to the importance of building capacious churches, their own policies and practices reinforced the class system. As one minister reflected in 1887, "The working men are largely estranged from the Protestant religion. Old churches standing in the midst of crowded districts are continually abandoned because they do not reach the workingmen." Meanwhile, he continued, "Go into an ordinary church on Sunday morning and you see lawyers, physicians, merchants and business men with their families [-]you see teachers, salesmen, and clerks, and a certain proportion of educated mechanics, but the workingman and his household are not there." As the working-classes swelled with the expansion of American factories, ordained Protestant ministers served an ever-dwindling proportion of the country"-- Provided by publisher.

• Herman Bavinck : the development of a theologian

• Trinity and retrieval : Christian consciousness.

"This book examines the theological methodology of Dutch theologian, Herman Bavinck (1854-1921). The focus of the book is on the influence of the German historicist movement on his theological method and uses Bavinck's doctrine of the Trinity as a way to test the argument that while not embracing all of the relativising implications of the movement, the role of history as a force that both shapes the present and allows for development into the future has a demonstrable influence on his theological methodology. To make this argument the book considers Bavinck's larger nineteenth century context. It traces the development of both history and theology being understood as sciences in the university and how this required a reimagining of both disciplines. It could be said that the theology is thoroughly historicised in the nineteenth century. The book then considers the three principia of Bavinck's theological methodology: Revelation, Confession, and Christian Consciousness, demonstrating how Bavinck both appropriates and adapts historicist assumptions"-- Provided by publisher.

"Der Vinschgau in Südtirol, der im Mittelalter bis ins Burggrafenamt reichte, ist eine besonders reiche und markante Kulturlandschaft des mittleren Alpenraums. Bis heute haben sich in diesem faszinierenden Durchgangsland Kirchen aus der Karolingerzeit mit Resten ihrer ursprünglichen Ausstattung erhalten. Durch archäologische Grabungen werden immer wieder Vorgängerbauten aus dem Frühmittelalter oder gar aus der Spätantike entdeckt. Der Kirchenhistoriker Ulrich Köpf gibt einen Überblick über ihren Bestand unter Einbeziehung von Engadin und mittlerem Etschtal. Er verfolgt die Herkunft ihrer Patrozinien aus dem Süden, dem Westen und dem schwäbisch-bayerischen Raum. Vor dem Hintergrund der geographischen Voraussetzungen und der alten Wege werden ihre Lage und ihre Geschichte verständlich. Ausführliche Register, Abbildungen und Karten machen das aus schriftlichen und archäologischen Quellen erarbeitete Buch zu einem Begleiter in die noch heute sichtbare Vergangenheit einer vielseitigen Region." -- Page 4 of cover.

The Cambridge History of Reformation Era Theology explores the key developments in both Protestant and Catholic theology ca. 1475-1650. Exploring the various settings and schools in which theology was formulated and taught, and the social backgrounds of its exponents-including women and non-university-trained men, as well as writers both in and outside Europe-it establishes how the major denominations took their positions and participated in a broader discourse. The volume examines specific theological themes from different denominational perspectives, demonstrating how theology affected the lives of believers via pastoral theology, canon law, and spirituality, and how theological ideas were linked to politics, warfare, science, and the arts. Written by an international team of leading scholars in the field, this History expands the range of theological discourse by introducing new topics and spokespersons, as well as global and ecumenical perspectives. It will remain the definitive place to begin any further study of theology during this period for years to come.

"L'Église ? Mais quelle Église ? C'est pour examiner la polysémie d'une notion pleine d'ambiguïtés qu'a été conçu ce Dictionnaire critique de l'Église. Il se veut un outil d'analyse des communautés ecclésiales comme espaces de réflexion sur les fondements du social. Organisé autour de quelque quatre-vingts concepts propres au christianisme autant qu'empruntés aux sciences sociales, il propose d'aborder les "questions d'Église" sous la forme de véritables essais. La plupart des entrées ont été rédigées à plusieurs mains, afin de faire entendre une grande diversité d'approches, dans le temps et l'espace aussi bien que dans les méthodes. Les concepteurs de l'ouvrage ont ainsi recherché l'équilibre entre un état des questions distancié et un point de vue critique assumé, loin de toute revendication confessionnelle, mais en tenant compte des tiraillements polémiques entre différentes traditions. Ce faisant, ils se situent dans une veine bien identifiée : celle des sciences sociales du religieux à la française, telles qu'elles se sont développées depuis la fin du XIXe siècle et dont l'adjectif "critique" résume l'objectif. La bibliographie raisonnée qui clôt l'ouvrage permet au lecteur de poursuivre à son aise sur ce chemin critique."--Page 4 of cover.

"Der Gegensatz von lutherischem und reformiertem Protestantismus ist tief im kulturellen Gedächtnis verankert. Im 16. Jahrhundert waren die Übergänge jedoch viel fließender, als es die späteren Konfessionsbildungen nahelegen. Dafür stehen Namen wie Melanchthon, Bucer und auch der junge Calvin. Christoph Strohm zeigt, dass die innerreformatorische Pluralität noch deutlicher wird, wenn man weniger bekannte Theologen in den Blick nimmt." -- Publisher, page four of dust jacket.

"This volume collects different case studies of rediscovery of Christian antiquities between 1860-1930 in Europe and the Mediterranean basin, in order to stimulate reflections about the impact of these rediscoveries on our culture in a period of great political transition. By turning the light on lesser-known stories on a wider European and Mediterranean horizon (Greece, Holy Land, Eritrea, Malta, Norway), this book gives a strong contribution to the history of Christian archaeology. All articles deal with many topics of the field (museology, cultural heritage protection law, history of religious orders, field archaeology, military explorations), and therefore offer a strong interdisciplinary cut. This book is first product of the international online workshop series “Revealing Christian Heritage. Talks on the rediscovery of Christian archaeology between 1860-1930”." -- Publisher, page four of cover.
