Описание: SA?ren Kierkegaard wrote that Pietism is 'the one and only consequence of Christianity'. Praise of this sort - particularly when coupled with Kierkegaard's significant personal connections to the movement in Christian spirituality known as Pietism - would seem to demand thorough investigation. And yet, Kierkegaard's relation to Pietism has been largely neglected in the secondary literature. Kierkegaard, Pietism and Holiness fills this scholarly gap and, in doing so, provides the first full-length study of Kierkegaard's relation to the Pietist movement. First accounting for Pietism's role in Kierkegaard's social, ecclesial, and intellectual background, Barnett goes on to demonstrate Pietism's impact on Kierkegaard's published authorship, principally regarding the relationship between Christian holiness and secular culture. This book not only establishes Pietism as a formative influence on Kierkegaard's life and thinking, but also sheds fresh light on crucial Kierkegaardian concepts, from the importance of 'upbuilding' to the imitation of Christ.

Описание: It is much harder to define a religious movement than it is to define a religion or denomination. That applies especially when that movement almost defies definition as the Holiness Movement does. The Holiness Movement is a Methodist religious renewal movement that has over 12 million adherents worldwide. Perhaps the most familiar public manifestation of the holiness movement has been its urban holiness missions, and the Salvation Army-noted for its service ministries among poor and people suffering the dislocations that accompany war and disaster-is the most notable example. In the second edition of the Historical Dictionary of the Holiness Movement, important new developments in the Holiness Movement-such as the widely discussed "Holiness Manifesto"-are thoroughly discussed, and the content has also been expanded to include information on figures from Asia and Africa to reflect the continued growth of the Holiness Movement. With a chronology, an introductory essay, a bibliography, and over 400 cross-referenced dictionary entries, this reference has information that cannot be found elsewhere.
Описание: In this broad historical and critical overview based on a lifetime of scholarship, James Alfred Martin, Jr., examines the development of the concepts of beauty and holiness as employed in theories of aesthetics and of religion. The injunction in the Book of Psalms to "worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness" addressed a tradition that has compre

Through an examination of religious life in a typical northern rural locale—Cortland County, New York—from 1790 to 1860, Curtis D. Johnson adds to our understanding of the Second Great Awakening, an intellectual and religious watershed in American history. Offering both quantitative and qualitative analyses of churches' memberships, ideologies, and activities, he maintains that scholars have misunderstood the historical significance of evangelicalism.
Johnson contends that these churches did not constitute society, nor were they microcosms of it; rather, they evolved from embattled congregations of the saved—"islands of holiness"—to ideologically conservative, organizationally unified, integrated parts of society. He uncovers the many diversities of Protestantism in the form of splits between evangelicals and non-evangelicals, formalists and anti-formalists, Arminians and Calvinists, Old School traditionalists and Oberlin perfectionists, church members and religious society members.
At the heart of the revivalistic impulse, he argues, was ideological conflict—primarily between Calvinists and Arminians—with gender politics and internal church dynamics also contributing to the evangelical tumult. With a special interest in the Awakening's impact on congregational life, Johnson focuses on rural community experience to challenge the findings of historians who have concentrated exclusively on urban religious expression. He concludes that the importance of the various factions of evangelicalism lies in their common exhortation to republicanism and reform: these congregations, he says, influenced social change out of proportion to their numbers because activism was a central tenet of their religion.
Islands of Holiness is a gem of local history. A meticulously researched book, it makes a valuable contribution to an enduring aspect of the social history of American religious expression.

Описание:
Many writers on the spiritual life have used the analogy of climbing a ladder, as we progress towards that degree of perfection which Our Lord demands of us, 'Be ye perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect' (Matthew 5:48). It must originate in the story of Jacob's Ladder, on which he saw the angels ascending and descending --and since humility is the key to all virtue, who is to say whether we should be trying to go up, or to go down. St Benedict is the most familiar of those writers who speak of the Ladder of Humility (chapter 7 of his Rule). There are twelve steps, and that at once makes us look out for other things that go in sets of twelve. There are twelve Apostles, of course, and they respond to the twelve Tribes of Israel. There are twelve Minor Prophets. In St Paul there are twelve Fruits of the Holy Spirit, and in the earliest Christian writings after the New Testament itself, we find the Shepherd of Hermas, which speaks of twelve virgins, who are virtues, opposed to twelve women who are vices. Another very important document from this period, which has been strangely neglected, is the Testaments of the Twelve Patriarchs, which again looks at twelve virtues and their opposites. The Testaments of the Twelve Patriarchs are worth reading, as the text seems to be the very first systematic Christian treatise on moral theology: the twelve Patriarchs each discourse about some aspect of virtue or vice. It is written in the form of 'Testaments' or last speeches by the twelve sons of Jacob, addressed to their family gathered around them, each on his deathbed, on the model of the Biblical testament of Jacob. Written in Greek, and dated to the very end of the first century, it is seen as a Christian work, using the literary form of a pseudepigraphon (a device by which the real author attributes his writing to authoritative figures from the past to give it greater significance). Some earlier scholars thought it to be a Jewish text, but with a few Christian interpolations; if it really is a pre-Christian work, we would have to place it among St Paul's favourite books, for he seems to quote it many times. In fact, whether the Testaments of the Twelve Patriarchs is a late Jewish book which only survives in an early Christian edition, or a new composition by an early Christian drawing on Jewish predecessors, matters not a jot. The fact that early Christians edited it or wrote it, and certainly read it, is very significant. It is an important witness to the Early Church, it shows what the second or third generation of Christians thought and believed about the path to virtue, and acts as a guide to the contemporary Christian today.
With informed readings of scripture, Horatius Bonar discusses the teachings central to Christianity, and the good Christian's relationship to the divine.
Various topics are covered in this book's chapters, such as the importance of strengthening the soul to guard against sin, the symbolism and holy power of the crucifix, and how Christ's spirit dwells within Christians, lending support and resolution through times of hardship. What holiness is, and its ancient origins in mankind's interactions with the Lord and his messengers, is detailed
Throughout this study, Horatius Bonar's scholarship is in the fullest evidence. Definitive and emphatic in his guidance, the words are delivered straightforwardly, with little dwelling on the obscure. Primarily through the use of the New Testament scripture, the author seeks to confer an understanding of Christian principles and the veneration of God. Particular attention is paid to the book of Romans, with the interpretations of the Apostle Paul taken as a foremost source of clarity.
Though the author was primarily known in life for his hymn writing, in manuals such as these his depth of Biblical knowledge is evident. Working as a minister in the Church of Scotland for several decades, Bonar's scholarly activities were acknowledged with an honorary Doctor of Divinity degree issued by the University of Aberdeen.
