Описание: What we know today as evangelicalism originated in a series of great revivals in the mid-eighteenth century. Inward Baptism demonstrates how the rationale for the "new birth," the characteristic and indispensable evangelical experience, developed slowly but inevitably from Luther`s critique of late medieval Christianity.
Описание: The author argues that evangelical religion represents the ideological heart of American culture, in that the inherent logic of its religious ideas has underpinned (and/or buttressed) a good many aggressive promotions and defenses of American society, domestic and international, throughout our history. The evangelical worldview and ethos are grounded in two basic idioms: a dualistic vision cleaving the elements of society into neat, separate Christian and secular categories, and the "moral market" imperatives of an implicit individualistic system of eth-ics, the two merging to form a matrix of symbols and expectations--a cultural logic, if you will--which is then applied in the identification, apprehension, and evaluation of persons, objects, relationships, and societies. The first shares much with "natural" tribal or "pre-literate" religions and was present in the early Christian church and other Western religions; the second emerged from uniquely-American cultural developments. He then ranges beyond evangelicalism itself to claim that both occupy the centerpiece of a peculiarly American personality, that which most clearly distinguishes Americans and their society from our closest European social and cultural ancestors and kin; both reside at the heart of a slew of persistent internal "cultural contradictions." These general observations emerged from the study of an actual evangelical academic community, Seattle Pacific University, located way out in the Pacific Northwest of America. The particular form and expression of these idioms in the day-to-day attitudes and behavior of its students and faculty offer valuable, highly-representative insights into the meaning and significance of evangelicalism in American life. Indeed, the subjects of the authors fieldwork prove as exotic at times to Western eyes as would the inhabitants of any tropical South Pacific island, and they receive as thoroughly anthropological an examination. All this captured and accounted for by an innovative, ground-breaking hybrid form of social science. In a long appendix B, the author takes the sociology of religion to task for decades of bankrupt assumptions and research, decrying an apologetics that has corrupted traditional Weberian notions of value-free social science. Foremost among these biases is a seemingly universally-embraced guiding dogma which uncritically assumes that Christianity can only perform a positive role in any society; and that the so-called "godless" Scandinavian societies -whose quality-of-life indicators put the war-of-all-against-all American social nightmare to shame-may be overlooked or dismissed as pseudo-socialistic sleights-of-hand. The author demonstrates that it is the decades- and centuries-long cultural vacuum of American society that has produced a plethora of existential social, economic, and cultural insecurities that evangelicalism thrives upon. In this regard, as Luigi Barzini once both lamented and celebrated about his fellow Italians, we Americans are very much "alone in the world." Observe here the crazy old aunt of evangelicalism getting dragged down from the attic and cast out into the open, exposed to the light of day for the first time. In a second extended bonus appendix for academicians, the author tacks his 95 theses of Paradise Joes onto the Wittenberg door of a deeply compromised American sociology of religion.

Описание: Evangelicalism makes use of gendered stories that appeal to cosmic justifications for Christian manhood and womanhood. In a poverty-stricken, violent, unstable environment, many Salvadoran men reject their own masculinity in favor of this new, spiritually transformed ideal.
Описание: This book draws on the life of Presbyterian minister and diarist Archibald Simpson (1734-1795) to examine the history of evangelical Protestantism in South Carolina and the British Atlantic during the last half of the eighteenth century.
