Amakusa Shiro - Gottes Samurai

Roland Habersetzer

Amakusa Shiro - Gottes Samurai

Zu Beginn des 17. Jahrhunderts gab es in Japan etwa 300000 Christen, unter ihnen mehrere daimyô. Doch das Tokugawa-Shôgunat, das seit 1603 Japan beherrschte, verbot die Ausübung der fremden Religion. Vor allem der dritte Shôgun der Dynastie, Tokugawa Iemitsu, sah darin eine Bedrohung für die ursprüngliche Kultur des Landes und nicht zuletzt auch für seine Herrschaft. Auf seinen Befehl wurden japanische Christen zu Zehntausenden gefoltert und hingerichtet. Besonders im Süden des Landes, wo die...

America and Its Guns

James E. Atwood

America and Its Guns

James Atwood contends that the thirty thousand gun deaths America suffers every year cannot be understood apart from our national myth that God has appointed America as «the trustee of the civilization of the world» and even «Christ's light to the nations.» Because these purposes are noble, and we are supposedly a good and trustworthy people, violence is sometimes «required» and gives license to individuals to carry open or concealed weapons, which «save lives» and can even be «redemptive.»...

American Churches and the First World War

The centenary of America's declaration of war in 1917 is a fitting time to examine afresh the reaction of the American churches to the conflict. What was the impact of the war on the churches as well as the churches' hoped-for influence on the nation's war effort? Commenting on themes such as nationalism, nativism, nation-building, dissent, just war, and pacifism, this book provides a window into those perilous times from the viewpoint of Mainline and Evangelical Protestants,...

American Crossroads

Jesse Wisnewski

American Crossroads

"Should Christians be concerned with faith and evangelism and not politcal affairs?" In answering this question, American Crossroads provides a thought-provoking look at what it means to submit to the governing authorities of the United States of America. Just as God called for Christians to submit to the Roman government that forced its will upon the people (Rom 13:1), so too is God calling for us to submit to the existing form of government in the United States, a government that...

American Crusade

David J. Endres

American Crusade

Perhaps no era in Christian history since the time of the apostles presented a greater challenge to the spread of faith than the twentieth century. The First World War in particular resulted in nearly disastrous losses for the world mission movement. Christian countries were engaged in fratricidal conflict, missionaries were forced to return to their homelands, and traditional sources of mission funding dried up. In response to the missions crisis, American Catholic youth devoted themselves...

American Slavery and the Immediate Duty of Southern Slaveholders

Eli Washington Caruthers's unpublished manuscript, American Slavery and the Immediate Duty of Southern Slaveholders, is the arresting and authentic alternative to the nineteenth-century hermeneutics that supported slavery. On the basis of Exodus 10:3–"Let my people go that they may serve me"–Caruthers argued that God was acting in history against all slavery. Unlike arguments guided largely by the New Testament, Caruthers believed the Exodus text was a privileged passage to which all...

An African Pentecostal Hermeneutics

Marius Nel

An African Pentecostal Hermeneutics

The face of African Christianity is becoming Pentecostal. African Pentecostalism is a diverse movement, but its collective interest in baptism in the Spirit and the result of Pentecost in daily living binds it together. Pentecostals read the Bible with the expectation that the Spirit who inspired the authors will again inspire them to hear it as God's word. They emphasize the experiential, at times at the cost of proper doctrine and practice. This book sketches an African hermeneutic that...

An American Buddhist Life

Charles Prebish

An American Buddhist Life

From the beginning of Charles Prebish’s involvement with Buddhism in 1965, Buddhism has made huge inroads on the North American continent, and world-wide, both in terms of its scholarship and globalization. He has been fortunate enough to know and work with an incredible group of brilliant scholars who remain alive: Luis Gómez, Lewis Lancaster, Donald Swearer, Frank Reynolds, Stanley Weinstein, Jeffrey Hopkins, Robert Thurman and others. Unfortunately, none of these great scholars seems as yet...
