God's Internationalists - World Vision and the Age of Evangelical Humanitarianism (Hardcover): David P. King God's Internationalists - World Vision and the Age of Evangelical Humanitarianism (Hardcover)
David P. King
R1,056 Discovery Miles 10 560 Ships in 18 - 22 working days

Over the past seventy years, World Vision has grown from a small missionary agency to the largest Christian humanitarian organization in the world, with 40,000 employees, offices in nearly one hundred countries, and an annual budget of over $2 billion. While founder Bob Pierce was an evangelist with street smarts, the most recent World Vision U.S. presidents move with ease between megachurches, the boardrooms of Fortune 500 companies, and the corridors of Capitol Hill. Though the organization has remained decidedly Christian, it has earned the reputation as an elite international nongovernmental organization managed efficiently by professional experts fluent in the language of both marketing and development. God's Internationalists is the first comprehensive study of World Vision—or any such religious humanitarian agency. In chronicling the organization's transformation from 1950 to the present, David P. King approaches World Vision as a lens through which to explore shifts within post-World War II American evangelicalism as well as the complexities of faith-based humanitarianism. Chronicling the evolution of World Vision's practices, theology, rhetoric, and organizational structure, King demonstrates how the organization rearticulated and retained its Christian identity even as it expanded beyond a narrow American evangelical subculture. King's pairing of American evangelicals' interactions abroad with their own evolving identity at home reframes the traditional narrative of modern American evangelicalism while also providing the historical context for the current explosion of evangelical interest in global social engagement. By examining these patterns of change, God's Internationalists offers a distinctive angle on the history of religious humanitarianism.

Stability - How an ancient monastic practice can restore our relationships, churches, and communities (Paperback): Nathan Oates Stability - How an ancient monastic practice can restore our relationships, churches, and communities (Paperback)

What is the foundation of work that lasts? As Christians in a hypermobile culture, most of the time we talk about going and doing, about the need for meaningful action, service, and pilgrimage. Here, we listen to a quieter call. We consider the foundation, the roots, the bass note, that place of origin from which the building rises and the fruit blooms and the music soars and all the action comes-the place of stability. This call is rooted in the being of God; the faithfulness, reliability, and unchanging character of God. Drawing from some of the best writings on Benedictine spirituality and from his personal experiences raising a family, pastoring a church, and spending time living with monks, Nathan Oates offers a compelling invitation to find inner peace and stillness right where we are. When faced with decisions to stay or go, we rarely consider a beautiful, challenging third option-embracing the value of stability, which is moving closer to the root. Rather than pulling up our tents or simply enduring, we can choose to press deeper into the core of the question, to lean into the source of life, the real need, the true passion.

Die Beitrage untersuchen disziplinubergreifend das Phanomen Migration. Die AutorInnen betrachten Migration als ein konstitutives Element der Menschheitsgeschichte und als globales Zukunftsthema. Spatestens seit Beginn der Fluchtlingswelle aus Syrien nach Europa und auch OEsterreich in den Sommermonaten 2015 ist diese Thematik integraler Bestandteil medialer, politischer und oeffentlicher Kontroversen. Migration ist kein modernes Phanomen. Wanderungsprozesse aufgrund existenzieller Bedrohungen oder Hoffnung auf bessere Lebensbedingungen anderswo hat es immer gegeben. Die BeitragerInnen diskutieren Migration aus den Perspektiven der Theologie, Philosophie und der Kunstwissenschaft. Die Bandbreite der Sujets reicht hierbei von alttestamentarischen Bibelstellen bis hin zum Europa der Neuzeit, uber Kolonialismus, Imperialismus und Globalisierung. Aus kunstwissenschaftlicher Perspektive wird der Migrationsbegriff hinsichtlich unterschiedlicher Epochen und Kunstgattungen aufbereitet.

Dieses Buch analysiert die Modelle der biblischen Gestalten in der Prosa von Georg Trakl. Fur Trakl gilt die Bibel nicht nur als eine grosse Inspirationsquelle. Sie ist auch als ein standiger Bezugspunkt zu betrachten, der ihn seine eigene Position in der Welt bestimmen lasst. Der Autor untersucht auch die Prosadichtungen, die in formaler Hinsicht den Charakter der Prosa aufweisen. Mit der Aufnahme der Gedichte zielt der Autor nicht nur darauf ab, die behandelte Problematik in moeglichst vollem Umfang darzustellen, sondern auch Trakls Rezeption des Christentums in ihrem chronologischen Verlauf zu erfassen.

R1,466 Discovery Miles 14 660 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Ce volume recueille des etudes d'oeuvres quebecoises et francaises considerees dans leur relation au fait religieux. A partir des ecrits des jesuites et des moniales en Nouvelle-France, en passant par les modeles offerts par Moliere et Chateaubriand, on suit le parcours, sinueux et parfois paradoxal, de l'autonomisation progressive du champ litteraire. Les analyses portent sur les strategies d'affirmation, de contournement, d'oubli ou de detournement du religieux adoptees par des auteurs comme Rejean Ducharme, Anne Hebert, Michel Tournier ou Nelly Arcan. Cette perspective diachronique et transatlantique contribue a faire emerger les points de contact entre les oeuvres, en creant un jeu de miroirs et de reflets fecond, dans lequel la relation au religieux s'impose comme un enjeu, parfois sous-jacent mais pourtant central, de la litterature contemporaine.

Wie ist es moeglich, Burger Europas und gleichzeitig Muslim zu sein? Die Autorin vergleicht aus differenzhermeneutischer Perspektive die Antworten von drei zeitgenoessischen muslimischen Denkern. Sie zeigen, dass Europa und Islam durchaus zusammen gedacht werden koennen. Durch den Vergleich wird aber auch ein innerislamisches Spannungsfeld deutlich. Dieses bildet nicht nur die Vielfalt islamischer Wege ab, sondern stellt auch die kategoriale Unterscheidung von "islamisch" und "nichtislamisch" in Frage. Unter Betrachtung von Fragen der Partizipation, der Religionsfreiheit und des Miteinanders in einer wertepluralen Gesellschaft sind diese muslimischen Ansatze wertvolle Stimmen im Diskurs, wenn es nicht mehr nur darum geht, ob der Islam in Europa beheimatet werden kann - sondern "wie".

What can we learn from the Saint of the Gutters? How might her wisdom and intercession help us in our present needs? After all, Mother Teresa was very small in stature, even frail in some respects, and she was a woman-the supposed "weaker sex." However, this petite woman's "yes" to God truly changed the world forever. She opened the world's eyes to our duties to feed the hungry and clothe the naked, and told us that a far worse hunger exists in our Western world. She continues to encourage us to reach out in love to those in need. Through this novena of prayer, our faith is energized as we "sit at St. Teresa of Calcutta's feet" to learn lessons of love, and invoke her intercession for our urgent, as well as our lesser needs-big and small-she will help!

R1,301 Discovery Miles 13 010 Ships in 18 - 22 working days

This is one of the first academic books about Fethullah Gulen, a Turkish scholar and preacher, and the civic movement he inspired in Turkey and ultimately throughout the world. The movement is rooted in moderate Islam and is committed to educating youth, fostering interfaith and intercultural dialog, assisting the needy in society and contributing to global peace. Based on interview data and visits to Gulen-inspired institutions, the book describes the movement from a sociological perspective, especially through the lens of social movement theory. It is the first book, grounded in empirical methodology, to describe the movement to a Western audience. It will be of special interest to social scientists interested in religious movements, religious scholars seeking information on Islamic movements and the general public eager to discover a moderate Islam that promotes humanitarian projects.

Ist Schwarz eine Farbe oder nur Kontrastgeber? Ist Schwarz ein einziger Farbton oder sind es mehrere? Sind Einstellungen zur Farbe Schwarz kulturell gepragt? Wenn man Schwarz sagt, meint man dann tatsachlich auch Schwarz? Es heisst, Schwarz ist die am wenigsten verstandene aller Farben. Insofern ist es eine besondere Herausforderung, die Sinngebung der Farbe Schwarz in den kulturhistorischen Landschaften der Welt auszuleuchten. Eben dies wird in dieser Studie angestrebt, wobei der Diskussion uber Farbmetaphorik besondere Aufmerksamkeit geschenkt wird. Hier werden Erkenntnisse der verschiedensten Fachdisziplinen ausgewertet - darunter der Kunstgeschichte, der Anthropologie, der Linguistik, der Forschung uber kulturelle Stereotypen und der Religionsgeschichte - und zu einer Gesamtschau verdichtet. Dieses Buch ist in einem verstandlichen Essaystil geschrieben und spricht damit den allgemein interessierten akademischen Leser an. Daruber hinaus eignet es sich nach seinem Inhalt und der Vielzahl an Quellenverweisen ebenso als Forschungsinstrument fur die verschiedensten Fachvertreter.

The Practicing Congregation - Imagining A New Old Church (Paperback): Diana Butler Bass The Practicing Congregation - Imagining A New Old Church (Paperback)
Diana Butler Bass
R870 Discovery Miles 8 700 Ships in 18 - 22 working days

The conventional wisdom about mainline Protestantism maintains that it is a dying tradition, irrelevant to a postmodern society, unresponsive to change, and increasingly disconnected from its core faith tenets. In her provocative new book, historian and researcher Diana Butler Bass argues that there are signs that mainline Protestant churches are indeed changing, finding a new vitality intentionally grounded in Christian practices and laying the groundwork for a new type of congregation. The Practicing Congregation tracks these changes by looking at the overall history of American congregations, noting the cultural trends that have sparked change, and providing evidence of how mainline churches are reappropriating traditional Christian practices. The signs of life that Bass identifies lead the reader beyond the crumbling "liberal vs. conservative" dualities to a more nuanced and fluid understanding of the shape of contemporary ecclesiology and faithfulness. In so doing, she helps readers understand tradition in new ways and creates an alternative path through the culture wars that today arrest the energies of most denominations. Invigorated by stories from Bass s own experience, The Practicing Congregation provides a hopeful and exciting vision for the church. The imaginative "retraditioning" she identifies and celebrates will guide pastors and other leaders on this "pilgrimage of creating church" and convincingly counter the naysayers that long ago gave up on the viability of the mainline church."

Zum ersten Mal wird anhand der Originalakten aus den Archiven des Malteserordens und preussischer Behoerden die Grundung der Rheinisch-Westfalischen Malteser-Genossenschaft erzahlt. Zusammen mit einer Vereinigung in Schlesien bildete sie von der Mitte des vorherigen Jahrhunderts an die offizielle Vertretung des neunhundert Jahre alten Ordens vom Hl. Johannes in Deutschland, bis beide 1993 in der Deutschen Assoziation des Ordens zusammenfanden. Nach dem Ende des alten Grosspriorats Deutschland des Ordens in der Sakularisation suchten die Malteser aus den preussischen Westprovinzen in einem muhseligen und jahrelangen Ringen ihren Platz im nach wie vor altem Denken verhafteten Orden und der liberal gepragten preussischen Gesellschaft. Beobachtungen zur Stellung der Genossenschaft im politischen Katholizismus der Zeit und vor dem Hintergrund der Lage des Adels im Rheinland und in Westfalen werden hier zum ersten Mal getroffen. Fur den Malteserorden ist die Genossenschaft bei der Entwicklung neuer Mitgliederstrukturen hoch bedeutsam.

Carmen Angela Cvetkovic, Peter Gemeinhardt
R2,751 Discovery Miles 27 510 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Recent studies on the development of early Christianity emphasize the fragmentation of the late ancient world while paying less attention to a distinctive feature of the Christianity of this time which is its inter-connectivity. Both local and trans-regional networks of interaction contributed to the expansion of Christianity in this age of fragmentation. This volume investigates a specific aspect of this inter-connectivity in the area of the Mediterranean by focusing on the formation and operation of episcopal networks. The rise of the bishop as a major figure of authority resulted in an increase in long-distance communication among church elites coming from different geographical areas and belonging to distinct ecclesiastical and theological traditions. Locally, the bishops in their roles as teachers, defenders of faith, patrons etc. were expected to interact with individuals of diverse social background who formed their congregations and with secular authorities. Consequently, this volume explores the nature and quality of various types of episcopal relationships in Late Antiquity attempting to understand how they were established, cultivated and put to use across cultural, linguistic, social and geographical boundaries.

Mission and Conversion - Proselytizing in the Religious History of the Roman Empire (Paperback, Revised): Martin Goodman Mission and Conversion - Proselytizing in the Religious History of the Roman Empire (Paperback, Revised)
Martin Goodman
R1,357 Discovery Miles 13 570 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This is a controversial and important new examination of the origins of Christian mission, set against the background of ancient Judaism and the pagan culture of the Roman Empire. The author's startling conclusions suggest that mission was not inherent in either early Judaism or Christianity, and was only sporadically practised in antiquity by these religions. Clear, accessible, and at the same time displaying considerable scholarship, this book will provide an important challenge and a stimulus to both theologians and historians, and is likely to provoke keen and lively debate among scholars of these disciplines. It invites a total re-consideration of the grounds for religious mission in both Christianity and Judaism.
