Orestes Brownson 1803-1876 Grounded in a wide variety of sources including personal correspondence journalistic essays book reviews and speeches this work argues that religious sectarianism profoundly shaped participants in the religious marketplace Brownson is emblematic of this dynamic because he changed his religious identity seven times over a quarter of a century Throughout Brownson waged a war of words opposing religious sectarianism By the 1840s however a corrosive intellectual environment transformed Brownson into an arch religious sectarian The book ends with a consideration of several explanations for Brownson s religious mobility emphasizing the goad of sectarianism as the most salient catalyst for changeAddresses on the Revised Version of Holy Scripture

By W. D. Killen. 2013
The appearance of another history of the early Church requires some explanation. As the progress of the Christian commonwealth for…
the first three hundred years has been recently described by British, German, and American writers of eminent ability, it may, perhaps, be thought that the subject is now exhausted. No competent judge will pronounce such an opinion. During the last quarter of a century, various questions relating to the ancient Church, which are almost, if not altogether, ignored in existing histories, have been earnestly discussed; whilst several documents, lately discovered, have thrown fresh light on its transactions. There are, besides, points of view, disclosing unexplored fields for thought, from which the ecclesiastical landscape has never yet been contemplated. The following work is an attempt to exhibit some of its features as seen from a new position.Jihad in the West: The Rise of Militant Salafism
By Frazer Egerton. 2011
Militant Salafism is one of the most significant movements in politics today. Unfortunately its significance has not been matched by…
understanding. To begin to address this knowledge deficit this book argues that, rather than the largely unhelpful pursuit of individual 'root causes' offered in much of the literature, we would be better served by looking at the factors that have enabled and facilitated a particular political imaginary. That political imaginary is one that allows individuals to conceive of themselves as integral members of a global battle waged between the forces of Islam and the West, something that lies at the heart of militant Salafism. Frazer Egerton shows how the ubiquity of modern media and the prevalence of movement have allowed for a transformation of existing beliefs into an ideology supportive of militant Salafism against the West amongst Western Muslims.Secrets of Dragon Gate

By Minna Proctor. 2005
At the first revelation that her father, a sixtyish university professor, wants to become an Episcopal priest, Minna Proctor is…
flummoxed. She neither encourages nor disparages him because she simply doesn’t know what it means. Brought up primarily by her mother in a household without any religious expression or guidance, Proctor was surprised to learn that her unconventionally charming, intellectual father had a religious life, and what’s more, a higher calling. When he is summarily turned away, Proctor delves into the byzantine discernment process that rejected her father from the priesthood and the pivotal notion of calling.The God-Idea of the Ancients

Monks, the Pope, and the Origins of the Crusades
By Diarmaid Macculloch. 2013
A fascinating history of the growth in monastic and papal power that preceded the Crusades--excerpted from Diarmaid MacCulloch's award-winning New…
York Times bestseller, Christianity: The First Three Thousand Years. A product of electrifying scholarship conveyed with commanding skill, Diarmaid MacCulloch's Christianity: The First Three Thousand Years stretches from the Greek Platonists and the origins of the Hebrew Bible to the present and encompasses the globe. In this excerpt, MacCulloch chronicles the rise of monasteries like the great Cluny Abbey, which formed orders that reached across secular kingdoms, enjoying exclusive papal privileges and encouraging their followers to make pilgrimages among towering cathedrals and far-flung shrines. Meanwhile, the introduction of the tithe, expanding control over marriage, and a new emphasis on Purgatory brought penitent parishioners even closer to the Church and dependent on ministry. By the time Pope Urban II launched the First Crusade, the practice of indulgences had made possible his grant that all who died in a state of repentance and confession while fighting would gain immediate entry into heaven. Holy War spawned whole new orders, most famously the Knights Templar and the Knights Hospitaller, as soldiers from across Europe joined the campaigns of conquest toward Jerusalem. The many causes and consequences of these clashes between Christianity and Islam are captured here in illuminating detail with elegance and wit. Diarmaid MacCulloch's latest book, Silence: A Christian History, is available from Viking.The Alps and Sanctuaries of Piedmont and the Canton Ticino

New Histories of American Law: Law and Religion in American History
By Mark Douglas Mcgarvie. 2016
This book furthers dialogue on the separation of church and state with an approach that emphasizes intellectual history and the…
constitutional theory that underlies American society. Mark Douglas McGarvie explains that the founding fathers of America considered the right of conscience to be an individual right, to be protected against governmental interference. While the religion clauses enunciated this right, its true protection occurred in the creation of separate public and private spheres. Religion and the churches were placed in the private sector. Yet, politically active Christians have intermittently mounted challenges to this bifurcation in calling for a greater public role for Christian faith and morality in American society. Both students and scholars will learn much from this intellectual history of law and religion that contextualizes a four-hundred-year-old ideological struggle.Mr. Gladstone and Genesis
