Christian Churches And Postwar Society - European And North American Perspectives On The Impact Of The First World War

~~51,68€~~ 46,51€ 10% OFF

 The enduring influence of religion in shaping postwar Europe. This volume examines the role of Christian churches in Europe during the often-overlooked postwar period (ca. 1918-ca. 1925), enriching our understanding of the enduring influence of religion in the aftermath of conflict. Taking a multinational, multidenominational, and multidimensional perspective, the essays explore the complex religious landscapes of postwar Europe, the resilience of ecclesiastical networks, and the transnational loyalties connecting Europe and North America. By highlighting the enduring vitality of faith and religious institutions, this study provides fresh insights into the evolving roles of churches, religious movements, and communities. Together, the essays shed light on the broader religious landscape of postwar Europe and provide an invaluable resource for understanding the lasting impact of religion in a transformed world.

From Hope To Hardship - The Missionary Dreams And Disappointments Of The Belgian Gospel Mission

by Aaldert Prins

~~59,63€~~ 53,67€ 10% OFF

 The untold story of the Belgian Gospel Mission and the influence of American Evangelicalism. From Hope to Hardship begins with the missionary quest of Ralph and Edith Norton, who assisted John Wilbur Chapman around the turn of the twentieth century at the height of his success as a ‘mass-evangelist’ in major US cities and worldwide. The book explores the origins and development of the Nortons’ campaign, and the interactions between a transatlantic faith mission and the broader landscape of Belgian Protestantism. Through a detailed account of the historical context, in a vivid narrative the author examines how the theological framework of first-wave fundamentalism was creatively applied in a transcultural missionary context, introducing the reader to the mission''s evangelistic strategies against the socio-political and religious background of post-World War I Belgium. In this comprehensive monograph, Aaldert Prins offers a well-documented and nuanced understanding of the mission’s successes, struggles, and leadership changes, making this book an essential read for anyone interested in the history of transnational evangelicalism and its missionary endeavors.

 La richehistoire de la migration belge en France «Splendide famille. Le père, un gars flamand, simple, robuste - la mèreprofondément religieuse. Les enfants tous débordants de vie. Ils ont un telcourage, pour braver les Français avec leur conviction religieuse. » Ainsi parlait le père jésuite Frans Van den Brande, l’undes aumôniers des paysans flamands du Nord de la France dansl’entre-deux-guerres. Son activité avait un objectif simple: s’assurer que lesémigrés belges restassent catholiques et flamands. L’initiative n’était pasneuve. Elle s’inscrivait dans une longue tradition de l’église belge decontinuer à se préoccuper du sort de leurs paroissiens qui avaient choisid’émigrer en France. Ce qui avait commencé comme un simple encadrement religieux pour les émigrésvivant désormais à Paris ou dans la banlieue industrielle de Lille, s’étenditaprès la Grande Guerre, aux régions rurales du Nord de la France. Le fondementde cet engagement était une méfiance profonde vis-à-vis du pays d’accueil. Rester catholique en France explorela nature et l’effet de ces initiatives sur la toile de fond de la richehistoire de la migration belge en France. Cette histoire sonne à la foisétonnante et familière, révolue et pourtant pertinente dans le débat actuel surl’immigration. Ce travail illustre clairement comment l’étrangeté est perçue àpartir de différences minimes, mais surtout comment une identité des migrantstrouve forme à partir des interactions entre pays d’origine et pays dedestination. The rich history of Belgian migration in France Rester catholique enFrance explores Belgian immigrants inFrance in their relation with the Belgian Church. This story sounds bothastonishing and relevant in the current debate on migration and clearlyillustrates how identity is shaped by minimal perceptions of strangeness.

Loci Sacri - Understanding Sacred Places

46,38€ + 10% CARD

 Sacred places have long exercised a special fascination. Sacred places are not static entities but reveal a historical dynamic. They are the result of cultural developments and have varied multidimensional levels of significance. They are places where time is, as it were, suspended, and they are points where holy times and holy places meet. Sacred places are places apart.It is this specificity in the context of the Christian religions of the West that Loci Sacri wishes to unveil by bringing together specialists from various disciplines, countries, and Christian denominations. One of the questions is why some sites have for centuries proven to be so popular while others have not. Another topic is the way in which extraordinary natural sites have been designated as sacred and given new meaning, primarily by means of architecture. Loci Sacri also explores the ‘eternal'' character of this sacred status.

Maritain Factor - Taking Religion Into Interwar Modernism

38,43€ + 10% CARD

 By studying the reception and perception of the French Catholic philosopher Jacques Maritain, this book argues that European modernist artists and intellectuals sought a primordial finality in Catholicism. The French poet, writer, and surrealist filmmaker Jean Cocteau converted under the influence of Maritain. For the painters Gino Severini, a pioneer of Futurism, and Otto Van Rees, one of the first Dadaists —both converts— Maritain played the role of spiritual counselor. And when the promoter of abstract art Michel Seuphor embraced Catholic faith in the 1930s, he, too, had extensive contact with Maritain. For all of them, the dictum of the Irish poet Brian Coffey, once a doctoral student under Maritain, applied: modern art needs a Thomist conceptual framework. However, the contributions in The Maritain Factor also show that, besides admiration, Maritain provoked irritation with his theories. Walter Benjamin for example, could only look at Maritain as a charlatan who was out to place modern art under the glass bell jar of Catholicism. The authors demonstrate that Catholic thought was not just one aspect of the manifold varieties of modernist discourses and practices, but in fact offered a basis to organize and structure this multiplicity in the 1920s and 1930s.This publication is GPRC-labeled (Guaranteed Peer-Reviewed Content)With contributions by: Philippe Chenaux, Jan De Maeyer, Michael Einfalt, Jason Harding, Rajesh Heynickx, Zoë Marie Jones, Ewoud Kieft, Mathijs Sanders, Stephen Schloesser, Stéphane Symons, Cécile Vanderpelen-Diagre, James Matthew Wilson.

Transformation Of The Christian Churches In Western Europe (1945-2000) / La Transformation Des Eglises Chretiennes En Europe Occidentale

41,74€ + 10% CARD

 Research continues to show that the Christian religion is gradually disappearing from the public, cultural and social spheres in Western Europe. Even on the individual level, institutionalised religion is becoming increasingly marginalised. Some scholars, however, speak of a repositioning of the Christian churches in post-modern Europe, citing new forms of religious life and community. This book focuses on the complex mutations the Christian churches in Western Europe have experienced since World War II. The authors offer a comparative exploration of the situations in several countries and describe the evolution (including the specific growth and decline) of the various Christian denominations.

Mission & Science - Missiology Revised / Missiologie Revisitée, 1850-1940

55,65€ + 10% CARD

 Science as an instrument to justify religious missions in secular society The relationship between religion and science is complex and continues to be a topical issue. However, it is seldom zoomed in on from both Protestant andCatholic perspectives. By doing so the contributing authors in this collection gain new insights into the origin and development of missiology. Missiology is described in this book as a "project of modernity," a contemporary form of apologetics. "Scientific apologetics" was the way to justify missions in a society that was rapidly becoming secularized. Mission & Science deals with the interaction between new scientific disciplines (historiography, geography, ethnology, anthropology, linguistics) and new scientific insights (Darwin’s evolutionary theory, heliocentrism), as well as the role of the papacy and what inspired missionary practice (first in China and the Far East and later in Africa). The renewed missiology has in turn influenced the missionary practice of the twentieth century, guided by apostolic policy. Some "missionary scholars" have even had a significant influence on the scientific discourse of their time.<div>La relation entre religion et science a beau être complexe et toujours actuelle, protestants et catholiques s’étaient rarement penchés sur le sujet. En se livrant à l’exercice dans ce livre, les auteurs ont fait de nouvelles découvertes sur la naissance et le développement de la missiologie. Celle-ci est décrite dans l’ouvrage comme un « projet de modernité », une forme contemporaine d’apologétique. Cette « apologétique scientifique » était le moyen par excellence de justifier l’existence des missions. </div><div>Cette publication aborde tant l’interaction avec les nouvelles disciplines scientifiques (historiographie, géographie, ethnologie, anthropologie, linguistique) et les nouvelles théories scientifiques (évolutionnisme de Darwin, héliocentrisme) que le rôle de la papauté et l’inspiration de la pratique missionnaire (d’abord en Chine et en Extrême-Orient, puis en Afrique). Cette missiologie « enrichie » a à son tour agi sur la pratique missiologique du XXe siècle, soutenue dans cette voie par la politique apostolique. Certains « missionnaires savants » ont même influencé de manière remarquable le discours scientifique de leur époque.</div><div> This publication isGPRC-labeled (Guaranteed Peer-Reviewed Content). </div>Contributors: Giancarlo Collet (University of Münster), Neil Collins (Missionary Society of St. Columban), Mariano Delgado (Université de Fribourg), Norman Etherington (University of Western Australia), Patrick Harries (Universität Basel), Jan A.B.
