Religious rivalries have been at the root of many human conflicts
throughout history. Representatives of nine world religions offer
insights into the teachings of nonviolence within their tradition,
how practice has often fallen short of the ideals, and how they can
overcome the contagion of hatred through a return to traditional
teachings on nonviolence. Included are a new Foreword and Preface,
a new Introduction by Daniel Smith-Christopher, two new chapters on
Islam and the indigenous religion of the Maori, and a new Epilogue.
In addition, study questions have been added to each chapter.
The conversion of Spanish Roma to Pentecostal Evangelical
Protestantism is one of the most unknown yet important religious
movements of the past century. Its current transnational extension
and its spectacular boom are due, among others factors, to the fact
that it is directed, organized and composed of gypsies. This volume
provides an important historical, theological, and ethnographic
account of the Pentecostal Revival movement that has been sweeping
through the Southern European Roma/Gypsy communities of France and
Spain especially. Written by Manuela Canton-Delgado, an
anthropologist from the University of Seville, together with three
others collaborators, it is a fascinating and careful account of
the social impact of this movement in contemporary Europe. As such,
it represents one of the first serious analyses of a religious,
ethnic and political movement largely unknown in North American, to
be made available in English.
The Christian church continues to seek ethical and spiritual models
from the period of Israel's monarchy and has avoided the gravity of
the Babylonian exile. Against this tradition, the author argues
that the period of focus for the canonical construction of biblical
thought is precisely the exile. Here the voices of dissent arose
and articulated words of truth in the context of failed power.
