A Perfect Babel of Confusion: Dutch Religion and English Culture in the Middle Colonies
ISBN: 9780195152654 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Examining the interaction of the Dutch and the English in colonial New York and New Jersey, this study charts the decline of European culture in North America. Balmer argues that the combination of political intrigue, English cultural imperialism, and internal socio-economic tensions eventually drove the Dutch away from their hereditary customs, language, and culture. He shows how this process, which played itself out most visibly and poignantly in the Dutch Reformed Church between 1664 and the American Revolution, illustrates the difficulty of maintaining non-English cultures and...

Grant Us Courage: Travels Along the Mainline of American Protestantism
ISBN: 9780195100860 / Angielski / Twarda / 1996 / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In 1950, Christian Century ran a series of articles on twelve churches, some large, some small, each representing a strand of American mainline Protestantism. Now, nearly fifty years later, Randall Balmer--author and host of Mine Eyes Have Seen the Glory, the acclaimed book and PBS series on American evangelicism--has revisited each of these twelve churches to take the pulse of Protestantism today. The result is a remarkable narrative, graced with touches of local color and memorable portraits of the people involved, and filled with deft observations and carefully nuanced insights about...

Evangelicalism in America
ISBN: 9781481305976 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 215 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Evangelicalism has left its indelible mark on American history, politics, and culture. It is also true that currents of American populism and politics have shaped the nature and character of evangelicalism. This story of evangelicalism in America is thus riddled with paradox. Despite the fact that evangelicals, perhaps more than any other religious group, have benefited from the First Amendment and the separation of church and state, several prominent evangelical leaders over the past half century have tried to abrogate the establishment clause of the First Amendment. And despite... Evangelicalism has left its indelible mark on American history, politics, and culture. It is also true that currents of American populism and polit... |

A Future for American Evangelicalism
ISBN: 9781498208802 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 174 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This book proposes that participation in ""Gods Project of Reconciliation"" is the ""Center"" that can hold evangelical Christians together in the midst of great diversity in belief and ecclesiastical practices. The author envisions a vibrant future for the Evangelical movement if professing evangelicals can model that rare combination of deep commitment to their own beliefs; openness to listening to the beliefs of others; and willingness to engage in respectful conversation with those who disagree with them in place of the combativeness that has characterized too much of Evangelicalism in...

God in the White House: A History: How Faith Shaped the Presidency from John F. Kennedy to George W. Bush
ISBN: 9780060872588 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. How did we go from John F. Kennedy declaring that religion should play no role in the elections to Bush saying, "I believe that God wants me to be president"? Historian Randall Balmer takes us on a tour of presidential religiosity in the last half of the twentieth century--from Kennedy's 1960 speech that proposed an almost absolute wall between American political and religious life to the soft religiosity of Lyndon B. Johnson's Great Society; from Richard Nixon's manipulation of religion to fit his own needs to Gerald Ford's quiet stoicism; from Jimmy Carter's introduction of... How did we go from John F.

Originally published twenty-five years ago and the basis for an award-winning, three-part PBS documentary, this new edition is complete with a new chapter and an Afterword. In this immensely readable tour of the highways and byways of American evangelicalism, Balmer visits a revival meeting in Florida, an Indian reservation in the Dakotas, a trade show for Christian booksellers, and a fundamentalist Bible camp in the Adirondacks.

Thy Kingdom Come: How the Religious Right Distorts Faith and Threatens America; An Evangelical's Lament
ISBN: 9780465005208 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. For much of American history, evangelicalism was aligned with progressive political causes-the abolition of slavery, universal suffrage, and public education. But contemporary conservative activists have defaulted on this majestic legacy, embracing instead an agenda virtually indistinguishable from the Republican Party platform. How has evangelical Christianity become so entrenched in partisan politics? Randall Balmer, an evangelical Christian and a historian of American religion, deftly combines ethnographic research, theological reflections, and historical context to examine the nature of...

When Art Disrupts Religion: Aesthetic Experience and the Evangelical Mind
ISBN: 9780190279769 / Angielski / Twarda / 2017 / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The stories gathered in these pages lay bare the power of the arts to unsettle and rework deeply ingrained religious beliefs and practices. This book grounds its narrative in the accounts of 82 Evangelicals who underwent a sea-change of religious identity through the intervention of the arts. "There never would have been an undoing of my conservative Evangelical worldview" confides one young man, "without my encounter with the transcendent work of Mark Rothko on that rainy afternoon in London's Tate Modern." "The characters in The Brothers Karamazov began to feel like family to me,"...

Mormonism and American Politics
ISBN: 9780231165983 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. When Joseph Smith ran for president as a radical protest candidate in 1844, Mormons were a deeply distrusted group in American society, and their efforts to enter public life were met with derision. When Mitt Romney ran for president as a Republican in 2008 and 2012, the public had come to regard Mormons as consummate Americans: patriotic, family-oriented, and conservative. How did this shift occur? In this collection, prominent scholars of Mormonism, including Claudia L. Bushman, Richard Lyman Bushman, Jan Shipps, and Philip L. Barlow, follow the religion's quest for legitimacy in the...
