Die staatliche Anerkennung von Religionsgemeinschaften; Die historische und aktuelle Umsetzung der religioesen Vereinigungsfreiheit in OEsterreich unter Berucksichtigung des deutschen Religionsrechts (German, Paperback)
Universit at Salzburg; Lukas Wallner
R2,282 Discovery Miles 22 820 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Die Gewahrung der religioesen Vereinigungsfreiheit und die Zulassung neuer Religionsgemeinschaften sind nicht nur historisch wesentliche Aspekte der korporativen Religionsfreiheit. Mit der Zunahme neuer religioeser Bewegungen sah sich der oesterreichische Gesetzgeber gezwungen, das noch aus dem 19. Jahrhundert stammende Anerkennungsrecht zu reformieren. Ziel dieses Buches ist es, mit Blick auf die religionsrechtliche Lage, in Deutschland die umfangreichen grundrechtlichen Probleme des gegenwartigen Religionsgemeinschaftenrechts in OEsterreich aufzuzeigen. Neben der Darstellung der historischen und verfassungsrechtlichen Grundlagen werden die gesetzliche Anerkennung und die sonstigen Organisationsformen fur Religionsgemeinschaften ebenso kritisch beleuchtet wie die Rechtsprechung der Hoechstgerichte.

One Faith, Two Authorities - Tension between Female Religious and Male Clergy in the American Catholic Church (Paperback):... One Faith, Two Authorities - Tension between Female Religious and Male Clergy in the American Catholic Church (Paperback)
Jeanine E. Kraybill
R633 Discovery Miles 6 330 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

While female religious have grown to possess a sense of personal authority in issues impacting the laity, and have come to engage in social-issue-oriented activities, religious institutions have traditionally viewed men as the decision-makers. One Faith, Two Authorities examines the tensions of policy and authority within the gendered nature of the Catholic Church. Jeanine Kraybilllooks at the influence of Catholic elites-specifically within the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops and the Leadership Conference of Women Religious-and their opinions on public policy and relevant gender dynamics with regard to healthcare, homosexuality, immigration, and other issues. She considers the female religious' inclusive positions as well as their opposition to ACA for bills that would be rooted in institutional positions on procreation, contraception, or abortion. Kraybill also systematically examines the claims of the 2012 Doctrinal Assessment against the Leadership Conference of Women Religious. One Faith, Two Authorities considerswhether the sisters and the male clergy are in fact in disagreement about social justice and healthcare issues and/or if women religious have influence.

Pope Paul III and the Cultural Politics of Reform - 1534-1549 (Hardcover, 0): Bryan Cussen Pope Paul III and the Cultural Politics of Reform - 1534-1549 (Hardcover, 0)
Bryan Cussen
R3,196 Discovery Miles 31 960 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

When Paul III was elected in 1534, hopes arose across Christendom that this pope would at last reform and reunite the Church. During his fifteen-year reign, though, Paul's engagement with reform was complex and contentious. A work of cultural history, this book explores how cultural narratives of honour and tradition, including how honour played out in politics, significantly constrained Pope Paul and his chosen reformers in framing strategies for change. Indeed, the reformers' programme would have undermined the culture of honour and weakened Rome's capacity to ward off current threats of invasion. The study makes a provocative case that Paul called the Council of Trent to contain reform rather than promote it. Nevertheless, Paul and the Council did sow seeds of reform that eventually became central to the Counter-Reformation. This book thus sheds new light on a pope whose relationship to reform has long been regarded as an enigma.

A Week in the Life of a Slave (Paperback): John Byron A Week in the Life of a Slave (Paperback)
John Byron
R521 R481 Discovery Miles 4 810 Save R40 (8%) Ships in 10 - 15 working days

"I appeal to you for my son Onesimus, who became my son while I was in chains. Formerly he was useless to you, but now he has become useful both to you and to me." These words, written by the apostle Paul to a first-century Christian named Philemon, are tantalizingly brief. Indeed, Paul's epistle to Philemon is one of the shortest books in the entire Bible. While it's direct enough in its way, it certainly leaves plenty to the imagination. A Week in the Life of a Slave is a vivid imagining of that story. From the pen of an accomplished New Testament scholar, the narrative follows the slave Onesimus from his arrival in Ephesus, where the apostle Paul is imprisoned, and fleshes out the lived context of that time and place, supplemented by numerous sidebars and historical images. John Byron's historical fiction is at once a social and theological critique of slavery in the Roman Empire and a gripping adventure story, set against the exotic backdrop of first-century Ephesus.

We need a bigger vision for the city. It's not enough to plant individual churches in isolation from each other. The spiritual need and opportunity of our cities is too big for any one church to meet alone. Pastors Neil Powell and John James contend that to truly transform a city, the gospel compels us to create localized, collaborative church planting movements. They share lessons learned and principles discovered from their experiences leading a successful citywide movement. The more willing we are to collaborate across denominations and networks, the more effectively we will reach our communities-whatever their size-for Jesus. Come discover what God can do in our cities when we work together.

The Puritans on Independence - The First Examination, Defence, and Second Examination (Hardcover): Polly Ha, Jonathan D. Moore,... The Puritans on Independence - The First Examination, Defence, and Second Examination (Hardcover)

R5,889 Discovery Miles 58 890 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

The Puritans on Independence sheds light on the rise of new claims by puritans to freedom as 'independence' several decades earlier than modern scholarship has assumed. This critical edition of long-lost English manuscripts provides access to a set of treatises which are the most significant hitherto unpublished texts for understanding puritan debate over this concept of liberty. Although once mis-catalogued as anti-separatist polemic, they in fact document the presbyterians' clandestine 'First Examination' of Henry Jacob's argument for 'independent' liberty and ecclesiology. It includes Jacob's 'Defence' of his early congregational experiment in response to the 'First Examination'. The volume concludes with the presbyterians' 'Second Examination' of Jacob's 'Defence' in 1620, written several years after the erection of Jacob's independent church in Southwark. This work provides unprecedented insight into divisions among the godly in England before the public contentions over church government in the Westminster Assembly during the mid-seventeenth century. The introductory chapter traces the development of radical notions of liberty among puritans over the first half of the seventeenth century through to the English Revolution. All this had a lasting impact well beyond the British Isles and the early modern period. The edition will be of interest to early modern and modern scholars across many disciplines, from history and divinity to English literature and political science.

Soul Liberty - The Evolution of Black Religious Politics in Postemancipation Virginia (Paperback): Nicole Myers Turner Soul Liberty - The Evolution of Black Religious Politics in Postemancipation Virginia (Paperback)
Nicole Myers Turner
R952 Discovery Miles 9 520 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

That churches are one of the most important cornerstones of black political organization is a commonplace. In this history of African American Protestantism and American politics at the end of the Civil War, Nicole Myers Turner challenges the idea of black churches as having always been politically engaged. Using local archives, church and convention minutes, and innovative Geographic Information Systems (GIS) mapping, Turner reveals how freedpeople in Virginia adapted strategies for pursuing the freedom of their souls to worship as they saw fit--and to participate in society completely in the evolving landscape of emancipation. Freedpeople, for both evangelical and electoral reasons, were well aware of the significance of the physical territory they occupied, and they sought to organize the geographies that they could in favor of their religious and political agendas at the outset of Reconstruction. As emancipation included opportunities to purchase properties, establish black families, and reconfigure gender roles, the ministry became predominantly male, a development that affected not only discourses around family life but also the political project of crafting, defining, and teaching freedom. After freedmen obtained the right to vote, an array of black-controlled institutions increasingly became centers for political organizing on the basis of networks that mirrored those established earlier by church associations. We are proud to announce that this book will also be published as an enhanced open-access e-book on a companion website hosted by Fulcrum, an innovative publishing platform launched by Michigan Publishing at the University of Michigan Library. The Fulcrum version of the book can be located using this link: https: //doi.org/10.5149/9781469655253_Turner.

This book follows the roots of women's struggle for equal pay, equal status, and equal respect back to that fateful, eye-opening day - when Eve met a Serpent by a Tree, and shared an Apple with Adam instead of enjoying it without him. How did Eve (and then all women) become a scapegoat for 'The Fall of Man?'. What 'spin' on this story made women seem to deserve being held down or back, to be suspected - and often even suspect themselves - of devious intents or deeds? Who fashioned such spin, and how? And why did we ever buy into it? Melinda Rising's research into the gnarled roots of sexism and misogyny in our culture - from the "Book of Genesis" through early Church history, the Crusades, heretic hunting, the Inquisitions, witch hunts, and on into our own century - is startling, inspiring, and ultimately healing. Understanding this story, and seeing what still haunts contemporary women, may be an essential key for progress toward real gender equity in our time.

Foxe's Book of Martyrs (Abridged, Hardcover, Abridged edition): John Foxe Foxe's Book of Martyrs (Abridged, Hardcover, Abridged edition)
John Foxe; Edited by Paul L. Maier; As told to R C Linnenkugel
R850 R730 Discovery Miles 7 300 Save R120 (14%) Ships in 9 - 17 working days

An updated and modernized edition of the unparalleled classic with resurgent relevance for the twenty-first century Foxe's Book of Martyrs is one of the most influential and well-known books in history, as well as one of the top-sellers of the past, right up there with the Bible itself. Immensely popular in Foxe's own sixteenth century, its influence has been felt throughout literature. Copies of the original text (Acts and Monuments) were chained beside the Bible in churches of England, and even sailed with English pirates. This was not a book designed to comfort, but instead to present the truth of the persecution faced by Protestant Christians in hostile environments. The inscription from the 1563 edition--now commonly known as Foxe's Book of Martyrs--indicates the gravity of the task: "[In] latter and perilous days . . . the great persecutions and horrible troubles . . . [are here] gathered and collected according to true copies and writings . . . of the parties themselves that suffered." Foxe was committed to commemorating the ultimate sacrifice of those who gave their lives for the sake of their faith. Paul L. Maier brings his exceptional mind for history to bear on Foxe's work in this new edition. While abridgement of the original 2,100 pages was necessary, Maier does include every martyr, and text was changed only where modern readers may not readily understand the original archaic wording. John Foxe (1516-1587) was an academic and zealous student of the Scriptures, leading to his persecution as a Protestant by the Catholic rulers of his day. Beyond his work in pastoral ministry, Foxe continued to work on his martyrology until his death.
