The unexpectedly entertaining story of how the Church of England lost its place at the centre of English public life - now updated with new material by the authors including comments on the book''s controversial first publication.The Church of England still seemed an essential part of Englishness, and even of the British state, when Mrs Thatcher was elected in 1979. The decades which followed saw a seismic shift in the foundations of the C of E, leading to the loss of more than half its members and much of its influence. In England today ‘religion’ has become a toxic brand, and Anglicanism something done by other people. How did this happen? Is there any way back?This ‘relentlessly honest’ and surprisingly entertaining book tells the dramatic and contentious story of the disappearance of the Church of England from the centre of public life. The authors – religious correspondent Andrew Brown and academic Linda Woodhead – watched this closely, one from the inside and one from the outside. That Was the Church, That Was shows what happened and explains why.

This volume tells the story of the interaction between Christianity and law-historically and today, in the traditional heartlands of Christianity and around the globe. Sixty new chapters by leading scholars provide authoritative and accessible accounts of foundational Christian teachings on law and legal thought over the past two millennia; the current interaction and contestation of law and Christianity on all continents; how Christianity shaped and was shaped by core public, private, penal, and procedural laws; various old and new forms of Christian canon law, natural law theory, and religious freedom norms; Christian teachings on fundamental principles of law and legal order; and Christian contributions to controversial legal issues. Together, the chapters make clear that Christianity and law have had a perennial and permanent influence on each other over time and across cultures, albeit with varying levels of intensity and effectiveness.This volume defines "Christianity" broadly to include Catholic, Protestant, and Orthodox traditions and various denominations and schools of thought within them. It draws on Christian ideas and institutions, norms and practices, texts and titans to tell the story of Christianity''s engagement with the world of law over the past two millennia.

Rodney Stark''s "fresh, blunt, and highly persuasive account of how the West was won—for Jesus" (Newsweek)—a provocative report that challenges conventional wisdom and finds that Christianity''s astounding dominance of the Western world arose from its offer of a better, more secure way of life."Compelling reading" (Library Journal) that is sure to "generate spirited argument" (Publishers Weekly), this account of Christianity''s remarkable growth within the Roman Empire is the subject of much fanfare. "Anyone who has puzzled over Christianity''s rise to dominance ... must read it." says Yale University''s Wayne A. Meeks, for The Rise of Christianity makes a compelling case for startling conclusions. Combining his expertise in social science with historical evidence, and his insight into contemporary religion''s appeal, Stark finds that early Christianity attracted the privileged rather than the poor, that most early converts were women or marginalized Jews—and ultimately "that Christianity was a success because it proved those who joined it with a more appealing, more assuring, happier, and perhaps longer life" (Andrew M. Greeley, University of Chicago).

Reading Augustine is a new line of books offering personal readings of St. Augustine of Hippo from leading philosophers and religious scholars. The aim of the series is to make clear Augustine’s importance to contemporary thought and to present Augustine not only or primarily as a pre-eminent Christian thinker but as a philosophical, spiritual, literary and intellectual icon of the West.Why did the ancients come to adopt monotheism and Christianity? On God, The Soul, Evil and the Rise of Christianity introduces possible answers to that question by looking closely at the development of the thought of Augustine of Hippo, whose complex spiritual trajectory included Gnosticism, academic skepticism, pagan Platonism, and orthodox Christianity. What was so compelling about Christianity and how did Augustine become convinced that his soul could enter into communion with a transcendent God? The apparently sudden shift of ancient culture to monotheism and Christianity was momentous, defining the subsequent nature of Western religion and thought. John Peter Kenney shows us that Augustine offers an unusually clear vantage point to understand the essential ideas that drove that transition.

A survey of Welsh Christianity from its origins in Roman Britain to the present. Christianity has played an enormous role in the history of Wales and in the defining and shaping of Welsh identity over the past two thousand years. Biblical place names, an urban and rural landscape littered with churches, chapels, crosses, and sacred sites, a bardic and literary tradition deeply imbued with Christian themes in both the Welsh and English languages, and the songs sung by tens of thousands of rugby fans all hint at a Christian presence that was once universal. Yet for many people in contemporary Wales, the story of the development of Christianity in the country remains little known. Aimed at the general reader, this is the first single-volume history of Welsh Christianity from its origins in Roman Britain to the present. Drawing on the expertise of four leading historians of the Welsh Christian tradition, it offers a succinct, clear, and accessible account of the development of Christianity in Wales in its Catholic, Protestant, and Nonconformist forms and will be the perfect introduction to the subject.

Resistance to Christianity: A Chronological Encyclopaedia of Heresy from the Beginning to the Eighteenth Century is a revisionary account of the forms of thought and belief that have been rejected or suppressed by orthodox Christianity over the course of the centuries. Formidably erudite without ever drifting into dry scholasticism, Resistance to Christianity ranges from the origins of the Bible to the fraught doctrinal controversies of the fourth century to the Levellers and Jansenists of the early modern period, thereby revealing the too-little-known history that lies behind the modern world’s theological horizons. Resistance to Christianity is far more, however, than a study of religious movements and ideas; indeed, Vaneigem is bracingly unapologetic in his ambition “to examine the resistance that the inclination to natural liberty has, for nearly twenty centuries, opposed to . . . Christian oppression.” The story of how men and women have again and again resisted the authoritarian implications of religious orthodoxy is, above all, a crucial strand of the history of human freedom. Bill Brown’s translation makes available in English a major work by one of the preeminent thinkers of our time.

The far right is on the rise across Europe, pushing a battle scenario in which Islam clashes with Christianity as much as Christianity clashes with Islam. From the margins to the mainstream, far-right protesters and far-right politicians call for the defence of Europe’s Christian culture. The far right claims Christianity. This book investigates contemporary far-right claims to Christianity. Ulrich Schmiedel and Hannah Strømmen examine the theologies that emerge in the far right across Europe, concentrating on Norway, Germany and Great Britain. They explore how churches in these three countries have been complicit, complacent or critical of the far right, sometimes intentionally and sometimes unintentionally. Ultimately, Schmiedel and Strømmen encourage a creative and collaborative theological response. To counter the far right, Christianity needs to be practiced in an open and open-ended way which calls Christians into contact with Muslims.

The story of Christianity is an immeasurably fascinating one. A faith that began in Roman occupied Palestine, as a small and fugitive faction within Judaism, grew, thrived and finally "conquered" the empire that had sought to exterminate it. Then, over many centuries and in many lands, it became the vital source from which new civilizations sprang. At times, its geographical range expanded mightily, at others contracted perilously. At times, the church proved heroically true to its deepest moral principles; at others, inexcusably traitorous to them.But, by the beginning of the 21st century, this faith that began in such fragility, and that became so powerful--even though its temporal power has now receded in its historic homelands--is the most widespread and diverse of all religions. Christianity is rapidly taking root in cultures very different from those in which it was born and in which it once flourished, and is assuming configurations that could not have been anticipated a century ago.In The Story of Christianity, the distinguished theologian David Bentley Hart provides a broad picture of Christian history.

Výrazně autobiografický román, jehož hlavní postavou je spolu s vypravěčem pověstná dánská lokalita téměř v centru Kodaně Svobodné město Christiánie. Per Šmidl (1954, po mamince Dán, otec přišel do Dánska po únorovém převratu roku 1948) ji důvěrně poznal na začátku osmdesátých let jako její obyvatel, žil zde v maringotce dva roky. Jeho vyprávění, literárně inspirované zejména pařížskými prózami Henryho Millera, dává nahlédnout do každodennosti komunity, která si nade všechno cení volnosti a je proslulá tolerancí k marihuaně a hašiši. Nekonformní život však přináší také potíže. Ty jsou nejen osobní - zřejmě nejtěžším úkolem je udržet způsob života a vůbec existenci tohoto společenství v duchu zakladatelských hipísáckých ideálů. Per Šmidl poutavě popisuje život v Christiánii, ale píše o všem, co ji ohrožuje i posiluje. České vydání provází 20 stran archivních i nedávných fotografií z Christiánie.

Bethel Church, California, is one of the most popular and polarising churches in America. With its own Christian music label, reports of miraculous healings, and the manifestation of a glittering Glory cloud, the congregation of Bethel Church is ever-growing. Bethel Church situates itself in the global movement of the New Apostolic Reformation, believing that present-day apostles and prophets must govern the church. Some praise the church for the clear manifestation of God''s activity; others see the integration of controversial and hazardous practices into the church.In Reckless Christianity, Holly Pivec and R. Douglas Geivett provide meticulous research and an incisive critique of the Bethel movement. Citing its charismatic senior leader, Bill Johnson, as promoting a "reckless" Christianity, Pivec and Geivett return to Scripture, the authoritative Word of God, to provide guidance on the boundaries of practice and where these boundaries are crossed. In its pursuit of experimentation, Reckless Christianity argues that the leaders of Bethel are pulling its followers into a dangerously speculative and experience-driven Faith.

Magisterial pedagogy. Aurelius Augustine (AD 354–430), one of the most important figures in the development of western Christianity and philosophy, was the son of a pagan, Patricius of Tagaste, and his Christian wife, Monnica. While studying to become a rhetorician, he plunged into a turmoil of philosophical and psychological doubts, leading him to Manichaeism. In 383 he moved to Rome and then Milan to teach rhetoric. Despite exploring classical philosophical systems, especially skepticism and Neoplatonism, his studies of Paul’s letters with his friend Alypius, and the preaching of Bishop Ambrose, led in 386 to his momentous conversion from mixed beliefs to Christianity. He soon returned to Tagaste and founded a religious community, and in 395 or 396 became Bishop of Hippo. The Teacher (De Magistro) dates from the beginning of Augustine’s scholarly career, and Teaching Christianity (De Doctrina Christiana) from its end. Together with Confessions, these treatises contain various remembrances and reflections drawn from Augustine’s personal educational experiences over time, allowing the reader to trace the development of his mature understanding of what teaching is, or should be. They also showcase his prowess as a theorist and thinker of timeless importance.

What did it mean to be a Christian in the Roman Empire? In one of the inaugural titles of Oxford''s new Essentials in Biblical Studies series, Harry O. Maier considers the multilayered social contexts that shaped the authors and audiences of the New Testament. Beginning with the cosmos and the gods, Maier presents concentric realms of influence on the new religious movement of Christ-followers. The next is that of the empire itself and the sway the cult of the emperor held over believers of a single deity. Within the empire, early Christianity developed mostly in cities, the shape of which often influenced the form of belief. The family stood as the social unit in which daily expression of belief was most clearly on view and, finally, Maier examines the role of personal and individual adherence to the religion in the shaping of the Christian experience in the Roman world. In all of these various realms, concepts of sacrifice, belief, patronage, poverty, Jewishness, integration into city life, and the social constitution of identity are explored as important facets of early Christianity as a lived religion. Maier encourages readers to think of early Christianity not simply as an abstract and disconnected set ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Western civilization is becoming increasingly pluralistic, secularized, and biblically illiterate. Many people today have little sense of how their lives have benefited from Christianity’s influence, often viewing the church with hostility or resentment. How Christianity Changed the World is a topically arranged Christian history for Christians and non-Christians. Grounded in solid research and written in a popular style, this book is both a helpful apologetic tool in talking with unbelievers and a source of evidence for why Christianity deserves credit for many of the humane, social, scientific, and cultural advances in the Western world in the last two thousand years. Photographs, timelines, and charts enhance each chapter. This edition features questions for reflection and discussion for each chapter.

Some people boldly claim, “Christianity is fine for some, but it isn’t for me”. Others feel it is just outdated and irrelevant. For better or worse, everyone in the Western world has come into contact with Christianity: we all have some opinion on it. James Anderson, with a clear, humorous logic, explores what Christianity really claims, and shows the underlying reason and consistency behind these claims. By the end of Why Should I Believe Christianity?, while you may not agree with the Christian worldview, it is impossible to be left sitting on the fence.

The experiences of being Christian and living amid a culture shaped by various iterations of Christianity are long-standing concerns of Scottish literature. This volume moves through Scotland’s literary history, from the early medieval era to the twenty-first century, to explore how Christianity has provided Scottish writers with a framework on which to build their manifold literary selves. Walter Scott, Margaret Oliphant and Edwin Morgan are among the writers revisited in this collection to examine the enduring influence of Christian liturgy, language and belief on Scottish fiction, drama and poetry. These fifteen essays offer contrasting, sometimes disharmonious readings of what it means to be Christian and Scottish, and work to illuminate Scottish literature’s complex relationship and interplay with Christianity.

Kniha - autor Petr Šmidl, 364 stran, česky, brožovaná bez přebalu lesklá Výrazně autobiografický román, jehož hlavní postavou je spolu s vypravěčem pověstná dánská lokalita téměř v centru Kodaně Svobodné město Christiánie. Per Šmidl (1954, po mamince Dán, otec přišel do Dánska po únorovém převratu roku 1948) ji důvěrně poznal na začátku osmdesátých let jako její obyvatel, žil zde v maringotce dva roky. Jeho vyprávění, literárně inspirované zejména pařížskými prózami Henryho Millera, dává nahlédnout do každodennosti komunity, která si nade všechno cení volnosti a je proslulá tolerancí k marihuaně a hašiši. Nekonformní život však přináší také potíže. Ty jsou nejen osobní – zřejmě nejtěžším úkolem je udržet způsob života a vůbec existenci tohoto společenství v duchu zakladatelských hipísáckých ideálů. Per Šmidl poutavě popisuje život v Christiánii, ale píše o všem, co ji ohrožuje i posiluje. České vydání provází 20 stran archivních i nedávných fotografií z...

One of the most popular and beloved introductions to the concept of faith ever written, Mere Christianity has sold millions of copies worldwide.The book brings together C.S. Lewis’s legendary radio broadcasts during the war years, in which he set out simply to ‘explain and defend the belief that has been common to nearly all Christians at all times’. A brilliant collection, the book remains strikingly fresh for the modern reader and at the same time confirms C. S. Lewis’s reputation as one of the leading writer and thinkers of our age.Rejecting the boundaries that divide Christianity’s many denominations, Mere Christianity provides an unequalled opportunity for believers and nonbelievers alike to absorb a powerful, rational case for the Christian faith.
