In this modern era, many evangelical Christians have adopted two popular beliefs. First is Christian Zionism-the idea that believers should support modern Israel because it is a fulfillment of biblical prophecy. And second is theistic evolution-the idea that God used extensive evolution in the creation of the universe and living things. While these beliefs are popular, unfortunately they are also dangerous to the faith.
In Debunking Christian Zionism and Evolutionary Creation, author Les Nasserden presents two separate essays where he rigorously challenges the biblical integrity of those evangelical Christians who believe in these false doctrines. In the first essay, Les explains why the Christian Zionist project was one of the biggest mistakes evangelical and Pentecostal Christians made in the twentieth century. In the second essay, he calls theistic evolution a heresy and confronts evangelical Christians with a challenge: Are we going to affirm the Word and power of God? Or are we going to capitulate to both a lingering modernist rationalism that is wedded to naturalism, and a desultory postmodern ethos that denigrates truth, the meaning of texts, rationality, and historical realities?
Even though many evangelical Christians believe in these doctrines, we need to safeguard our minds against false teachings. But by turning to the authoritative Word of God and studying the scriptures, we can discover the truth and strengthen our integrity.

Описание: A compelling study of Anglican Evangelicalism in the Age of Wilberforce revealing its potency as a political machine whose reach extended into every area of the British establishment and its nascent Empire.
Описание: The heart of this book lies in the important discovery that a pivotal Tudor argument in favor of the Royal Supremacy—the argument from Psalm 82 that earthly kings are ‘gods’ on this earth—is in fact Zwinglian in origin. This teaching from Psalm 82, which originated in Zurich in the mid-1520s, was soon used extensively in England to justify the Supremacy, and English evangelicals—from Tyndale to Cranmer—unanimously embraced this Protestant argument in their writings on political obedience. The discovery of this link shows conclusive, textual proof of the ‘Zurich Connection’ between Swiss political teachings and those popular under Tudor kings. This study argues, then, that evangelical attitudes towards royal authority were motivated by the assumption that Protestantism supported ‘godly kingship’ over against ‘papal tyranny’. As such, it is the first monograph to find a vital connection between early Swiss Protestant similar teachings on obedience and later teachings by evangelicals.
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:
By definition, a high view of Scripture inheres in evangelicalism. However, there does not seem to be a uniform way to articulate an evangelical doctrine of Scripture. Taking up the challenge, Vincent Bacote, Laura Miguйlez and Dennis Okholm present twelve essays that explore in depth the meaning of an evangelical doctrine of Scripture that takes seriously both the human and divine dimensions of the Bible. Selected from the presentations made at the 2001 Wheaton Theology Conference, the essays approach this vital subject from three directions. Stanley J. Grenz, Thomas Buchan, Bruce L. McCormack and Donald W. Dayton consider the history of evangelical thinking on the nature of Scripture. John J. Brogan, Kent Sparks, J. Daniel Hays and Richard L. Schultz address the nature of biblical authority. Bruce Ellis Benson, John R. Franke, Daniel J. Treier and David Alan Williams explore the challenge of hermeneutics, especially as it relates to interpreting Scripture in a postmodern context. Together these essays provide a window into current evangelical scholarship on the doctrine of Scripture and also advance the dialogue about how best to construe our faith in the Word of God, living and written, that informs not only the belief but also the practice of the church.

Описание: Emerson and the Transcendentalists get credit for revolutionizing religious life in America by introducing a new appreciation of nature. But in this reconsideration of faith in the antebellum period, Brett Malcolm Grainger argues that it was evangelical revivalists who transformed everyday religious life and spiritualized the natural environment.

Описание: One of the most intriguing questions in contemporary American Christianity is whether the recent warming of relations between Catholics and conservative evangelicals promises a thaw in the ice age that has lasted since the sixteenth century. American evangelical Protestants and Roman Catholics have hated and suspected one another since colonial times. In the twentieth century, however, each community has experienced radical change, and this has led to a change in therelationship between the two. In this book William Shea examines the history of this troubled relationship and the signs of potential reconciliation. His springboard is the recent publicity given to the 1993 document "Evangelicals and Catholics Together," in which several well-known figures fromeach camp, acting as individuals, signed a statement affirming much more common theological and social ground than any other American Catholic-evangelical group had ever done. Looking back, Shea surveys the long and very bitter history of published recriminations that have flown back and forth between Catholics and many kinds of Protestants since the 16th century. He makes the case that Catholics and conservative Protestants reacted along parallel lines to western "modernity" - especiallynaturalistic evolution and higher criticism of the Bible). That deeper history leads him to the more recent history that has partially overcome the severe Catholic-evangelical antagonisms. Here he focuses on the rise of "neo-evangelicals" associated with Billy Graham and the National Association ofEvangelicals and on the changes with the Catholic church since Vatican II. He goes on to offer systematic interpretations of recent evangelical literature on Catholics and Catholic literature on evangelicals. The book ends with some historical, but also theological, social and personal conclusions. This accessible, groundbreaking, and timely study will be indispensable reading for all interested in the religious landscape of America today.

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."
