Описание: Mark Amstutz offers a groundbreaking exploration of the rise, evolution, and crucial impact of Evangelicals on American foreign affairs.
Описание: In 1974 nearly 3,000 evangelicals from 150 nations met at the Lausanne Congress on World Evangelization. Amidst this cosmopolitan setting -- and in front of the most important white evangelical leaders of the United States -- members of the Latin American Theological Fraternity spoke out against the American Church. Fiery speeches by Ecuadorian Renй Padilla and Peruvian Samuel Escobar revealed a global weariness with what they described as an American style of coldly efficient mission wedded to a myopic, right-leaning politics. Their bold critiques electrified Christians from around the world. The dramatic growth of Christianity around the world in the last century has shifted the balance of power within the faith away from traditional strongholds in Europe and the United States. To be sure, evangelical populists who voted for Donald Trump have resisted certain global pressures, and Western missionaries have carried Christian Americanism abroad. But the line of influence has also run the other way. David R. Swartz demonstrates that evangelicals in the Global South spoke back to American evangelicals on matters of race, imperialism, theology, sexuality, and social justice. From the left, they pushed for racial egalitarianism, ecumenism, and more substantial development efforts. From the right, they advocated for a conservative sexual ethic grounded in postcolonial logic. As Christian immigration to the United States burgeoned in the wake of the Immigration Act of 1965, global evangelicals forced many American Christians to think more critically about their own assumptions. The United States is just one node of a sprawling global network that includes Korea, India, Switzerland, the Philippines, Guatemala, Uganda, and Thailand. Telling stories of resistance, accommodation, and cooperation, Swartz shows that evangelical networks not only go out to, but also come from, the ends of the earth.

Описание: Using as their starting point a 1976 Newsweek cover story on the emerging politicization of evangelical Christians, contributors to this collection engage the scholarly literature on evangelicalism from a variety of angles to offer new answers to persisting questions about the movement. The standard historical narrative describes the period between the 1925 Scopes Trial and the early 1970s as a silent one for evangelicals, and when they did re-engage in the political arena, it was over abortion. Randall J. Stephens and Randall Balmer challenge that narrative. Stephens moves the starting point earlier in the twentieth century, and Balmer concludes that race, not abortion, initially motivated activists. In his examination of the relationship between African Americans and evangelicalism, Dan Wells uses the Newsweek story's sidebar on black activist and born-again Christian Eldridge Cleaver to illuminate the former Black Panther's uneasy association with white evangelicals. Daniel K. Williams, Allison Vander Broek, and J. Brooks Flippen explore the tie between evangelicals and the anti-abortion movement as well as the political ramifications of their anti-abortion stance. The election of 1976 helped to politicize abortion, which both encouraged a realignment of alliances and altered evangelicals' expectations for candidates, developments that continue into the twenty-first century. Also in 1976, Foy Valentine, leader of the Southern Baptist Christian Life Commission, endeavored to distinguish the South's brand of Protestant Christianity from the evangelicalism described by Newsweek. Nevertheless, Southern Baptists quickly became associated with the evangelicalism of the Religious Right and the South's shift to the Republican Party. Jeff Frederick discusses evangelicals' politicization from the 1970s into the twenty-first century, suggesting that southern religiosity has suffered as southern evangelicals surrendered their authenticity and adopted a moral relativism that they criticized in others. R. Ward Holder and Hannah Dick examine political evangelicalism in the wake of Donald Trump's election. Holder lays bare the compromises that many Southern Baptists had to make to justify their support for Trump, who did not share their religious or moral values. Hannah Dick focuses on media coverage of Trump's 2016 campaign and contends that major news outlets misunderstood the relationship between Trump and evangelicals, and between evangelicals and politics in general. The result, she suggests, was that the media severely miscalculated Trump's chances of winning the election.

How is it that some conservative groups are viscerally antigovernment even while enjoying the benefits of government funding? In Piety and Public Funding historian Axel R. Schäfer offers a compelling answer to this question by chronicling how, in the first half century since World War II, conservative evangelical groups became increasingly adept at accommodating their hostility to the state with federal support. Though holding to the ideals of church-state separation, evangelicals gradually took advantage of expanded public funding opportunities for religious foreign aid, health care, education, and social welfare. This was especially the case during the Cold War, when groups such as the National Association of Evangelicals were at the forefront of battling communism at home and abroad. It was evident, too, in the Sunbelt, where the military-industrial complex grew exponentially after World War II and where the postwar right would achieve its earliest success. Contrary to evangelicals' own claims, liberal public policies were a boon for, not a threat to, their own institutions and values. The welfare state, forged during the New Deal and renewed by the Great Society, hastened—not hindered—the ascendancy of a conservative political movement that would, in turn, use its resurgence as leverage against the very system that helped create it. By showing that the liberal state's dependence on private and nonprofit social services made it vulnerable to assaults from the right, Piety and Public Funding brings a much needed historical perspective to a hotly debated contemporary issue: the efforts of both Republican and Democratic administrations to channel federal money to "faith-based" organizations. It suggests a major reevaluation of the religious right, which grew to dominate evangelicalism by exploiting institutional ties to the state while simultaneously brandishing a message of free enterprise and moral awakening.

Описание: "Dit boek is een vervolg op Grepen uit de Geschiedenis van de Automatisering dat in 1992en in 1995 is uitgebracht en na te zijn uitverkocht niet meer is verschenen. In 2017 hebik besloten om deze geschiedenis, mede op verzoek van anderen, een vervolg te gevenen wel onder dezelfde titel. Tegelijkertijd zijn in de oorspronkelijke tekst aanpassingenen aanvullingen gedaan, waar dat nodig was. Het Woord vooraf van de oorspronkelijkeuitgave startte met het volgende.De komst van de eerste computers luidde het begin in van de moderne geschiedenisvan de automatisering; een geschiedenis die al weer enige decennia van de twintigsteen eenentwintigste eeuw bestrijkt. Maar daarbij dient wel te worden bedacht dat er ookeen oude geschiedenis van de automatisering is, die teruggaat tot de Middeleeuwen enzelfs ver daarvoor. Omdat de mens altijd getracht heeft het rekenen en het beheer vanverzamelingen te ondersteunen met technische hulpmiddelen, zijn door de eeuwenheen talrijke, vaak heel ingenieuze hulpmiddelen bedacht. De wens steeds nauwkeurigernatuurkundige en boekhoudkundige aspecten te kunnen beschrijven en het menselijkvernuft hebben ertoe geleid dat steeds beter toepasbare methoden en techniekenzijn gerealiseerd. Uitgedrukt in tijd bestrijkt de oude geschiedenis een periode die velemalen langer heeft geduurd dan de periode waarin de moderne computer zich wist teontwikkelen. Die lange periode kenmerkt zich door vele uitermate boeiende ontwikkelingendie in veel gevallen als voorlopers zijn te beschouwen van de denkwijzen entechnische producten van dit moment. Om die reden wordt in dit boek met betrekkingtot het begrip automatisering geen onderscheid gemaakt tussen de periode waarin hetbegrip `automatisering` gemeengoed is geworden en de periode waarin men anderetermen gebruikte bij het ontwikkelen en toepassen van allerhande middelen. Deze benaderingis min of meer te vergelijken met de Engelse aanduiding history of computing dat alles op rekengebied en bijbehorende hulpmiddelen omvat.Over die lange automatiseringsperiode zijn inmiddels vele boeken en artikelen verschenen.Toch blijft veel van het beschrevene min of meer verborgen, zeker in Nederland.Het beperkt zich meestal tot een aantal vaak herhaalde hoofdlijnen waarin steeds weerdezelfde personen en dezelfde apparaten worden genoemd. Kennelijk is het niet zoeenvoudig om tot de omvangrijke buitenlandse literatuur door te dringen om een watbreder beeld te krijgen. Tot de onmogelijkheden behoort dat zeker niet. Wel zal mendan niet zelden met veel technische details worden geconfronteerd die niet altijd evengemakkelijk te begrijpen zijn."

Reveals how Christian colorblindness expanded white evangelicalism and excluded Black evangelicals In the decades after the civil rights movement, white Americans turned to an ideology of colorblindness. Personal kindness, not systemic reform, seemed to be the way to solve racial problems. In those same decades, a religious movement known as evangelicalism captured the nation’s attention and became a powerful political force. In The Myth of Colorblind Christians, Jesse Curtis shows how white evangelicals’ efforts to grow their own institutions created an evangelical form of whiteness, infusing the politics of colorblindness with sacred fervor. Curtis argues that white evangelicals deployed a Christian brand of colorblindness to protect new investments in whiteness. While black evangelicals used the rhetoric of Christian unity to challenge racism, white evangelicals repurposed this language to silence their black counterparts and retain power, arguing that all were equal in Christ and that Christians should not talk about race. As white evangelicals portrayed movements for racial justice as threats to Christian unity and presented their own racial commitments as fidelity to the gospel, they made Christian colorblindness into a key pillar of America’s religio-racial hierarchy. In the process, they anchored their own identities and shaped the very meaning of whiteness in American society. At once compelling and timely, The Myth of Colorblind Christians exposes how white evangelical communities avoided antiracist action and continue to thrive today.

Описание: The topic of immigration is at the center of contemporary politics and, from a scholarly perspective, existing studies have documented that attitudes towards immigration have brought about changes in both partisanship and voting behavior. However, many scholars have missed or misconstrued the role of religion in this transformation, particularly evangelical Protestant Christianity. This book examines the historical and contemporary relationships between religion and immigration politics, with a particularly in-depth analysis of the fault lines within evangelicalism—divisions not only between whites and non-whites, but also the increasingly consequential disconnect between elites and laity within white evangelicalism. The book’s empirical analysis relies on original interviews with Christian leaders, data from original church surveys conducted by the authors, and secondary analysis of several national public opinion surveys. It concludes with suggestions for bridging the elite/laity and racial divides.Ruth M. Melkonian-Hoover: (Ph.D., Emory University) is Chair and Professor of Political Science at Gordon College, Massachusetts.
