The Writings of Robert Harrison and Robert Browne
ISBN: 9780415319904 / Angielski / Twarda / 576 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Robert Harrison and Robert Browne were the initiators of the principles of English Separatism and Congregationalism. Unlike the Presbytero-Puritans, these nonconformists sought to establish local churches that were independent of the state. Although they encountered fierce opposition from the clergy, state officials and Anglican bishops, they persisted in their practices. As a result, the ideas of these two men profoundly influenced the Puritan movement both of England and America.

Reinventing American Protestantism: Christianity in the New Millennium
ISBN: 9780520218116 / Angielski / Miękka / 262 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. During the past thirty years the American religious landscape has undergone a dramatic change. More and more churches meet in converted warehouses, many have ministers who've never attended a seminary, and congregations are singing songs whose melodies might be heard in bars or nightclubs. Donald E. Miller's provocative examination of these "new paradigm churches"--sometimes called megachurches or postdenominational churches shows how they are reinventing the way Christianity is experienced in the United States today. Drawing on over five years of research and hundreds of interviews,...

Protestantism and National Identity: Britain and Ireland, C.1650 C.1850
ISBN: 9780521038782 / Angielski / Miękka / 332 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The years 1650-1850 saw the creation of the United Kingdom and its emergence as a world power.

Toward a Modern Reformation: A Call for Evangelical Protestants to Recover Our Reformation Heritage
ISBN: 9780595378654 / Angielski / Miękka / 56 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. American evangelicalism has grown dramatically in the last twenty years. However, despite all the people, activities, resources, and money, many Christians who work hard at their religion do not experience the sense of ultimate well-being and spiritual joy that Jesus promises us. In "Toward a Modern Reformation," author Jon Windness points out one source of our disappointment and failure. The problem is what he calls Neo-Arminianism, a human-enablement and self-help gospel that is displacing the grace-based gospel of the Bible. He gives examples of Neo-Arminian teachings, discusses the...

Hearing Things: Religion, Illusion, and the American Enlightenment
ISBN: 9780674009981 / Angielski / Miękka / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. "Faith cometh by hearing"--so said Saint Paul, and devoted Christians from Augustine to Luther down to the present have placed particular emphasis on spiritual arts of listening. In quiet retreats for prayer, in the noisy exercises of Protestant revivalism, in the mystical pursuit of the voices of angels, Christians have listened for a divine call. But what happened when the ear tuned to God's voice found itself under the inspection of Enlightenment critics? This book takes us into the ensuing debate about "hearing things"--an intense, entertaining, even spectacular exchange over the auditory...

ISBN: 9780700608683 / Angielski / Twarda / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. When Democrats lost control of Congress in 1994, the Christian Right claimed a major role in their defeat and House Speaker Newt Gingrich credited the "organized Christian vote" with the Republican victory. Ministers from many political persuasions have long been active in American politics, but in the 1980s and 1990s it has seemed impossible to find any political controversy that did not involve the clergy-often on both sides of the issue. The Bully Pulpit is the first major study of clergy politics in more than twenty years. Drawing on two decades of survey research involving...
