Evangelical Identity and Gendered Family Life


Free Download Sally K. Gallagher, "Evangelical Identity and Gendered Family Life"
English | 2003 | pages: 258 | ISBN: 0813531799, 0813531780 | PDF | 0,9 mb
Evangelical Identity and Gendered Family Life provides a sociological and historical analysis of gender, family, and work among evangelical Protestants. In this innovative study, Sally Gallagher traces two lines of gender ideals-one of husbands’ authority and leadership, the other of mutuality and partnership in marriage-from the Puritans to the Promise Keepers into the lives of ordinary evangelicals today. Rather than simply reacting against or accommodating themselves to "secular society," Gallagher argues that both traditional and egalitarian evangelicals draw on longstanding beliefs about gender, human nature, and the person of God.

Author: Adriana Carranca
Narrator: Rebecca Mozo

A journey through the fault lines of contemporary religious wars. US-born Protestant evangelicalism has gone global to an extent of which many of us might be unaware. This book tells the story of Americans’ colossal mobilization to proclaim Christianity "to the ends of the Earth," a movement that triumphed in the Global South, challenged the Vatican, then turned east in full force after 9/11 to spread the Gospel among Muslims. When the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq set off a wave of anti-American attacks and made the field too dangerous for US missionaries, thousands of disciples, particularly from Latin America, were mobilized to finish the task. In Soul by Soul, journalist Adriana Carranca follows the pilgrimage of a missionary family from Brazil as they move to Afghanistan. Carranca brings us on a harrowing journey through the underground passages of the global evangelical movement as it clashes with the full force of militant Islamic groups in the Middle East and South Asia, where contemporary religious wars are being fought, soul by soul.

Author: Megan Basham
Narrator: Megan Basham

How deeply have leftist billionaires infiltrated America’s churches? Liberal theology isn’t new. Pastors and theologians have drifted, slipped, or even plunged into doctrinal error for centuries. But in recent decades, Daily Wire reporter Megan Basham reveals, well-funded forces from outside the church have been sowing seeds of discord from behind the scenes. In Shepherds for Sale, Basham documents how progressive powerbrokers-from George Soros, to the founder of eBay, to former members of the Obama administration-set out to change the American church. Secular foundations and think tanks have deliberately targeted Christian media, universities, megachurches, nonprofits, and even entire denominations, not to mention many high-profile pastors and influencers, with infiltration and astroturf campaigns. Their goal: to co-opt the church for political purposes. In exchange for toeing a left-wing line, many of those church leaders and institutions have received cash, career jumps, prestige, and praise.

Miracles and the Protestant Imagination The Evangelical Wonder Book in Reformation Germany


Free Download Philip M. Soergel, "Miracles and the Protestant Imagination: The Evangelical Wonder Book in Reformation Germany"
English | 2012 | ISBN: 0199844666 | PDF | pages: 247 | 3.8 mb
The Reformation’s war against the saints and their miracles is well known. The story of the Protestant Reformers’ embrace of natural wonders as miracles that could similarly spur piety and moral discipline is much less familiar. In Miracles and the Protestant Imagination, Philip M. Soergel examines the sixteenth-century Lutheran wonder books, works filled with accounts of monstrous births, celestial apparitions, natural disasters, plagues, and other seemingly aberrant events occurring in the natural world.

Evangelical Christianity and Democracy in Latin America


Free Download Paul Freston, "Evangelical Christianity and Democracy in Latin America"
English | 2008 | pages: 281 | ISBN: 0195308034 | PDF | 1,1 mb
In Latin America, evangelical Protestantism poses an increasing challenge to Catholicism’s long-established religious hegemony. At the same time, the region is among the most generally democratic outside the West, despite often being labeled as ‘underdeveloped.’ Scholars disagree whether Latin American Protestantism, as a fast-growing and predominantly lower-class phenomenon, will encourage a political culture that is repressive and authoritarian, or if it will have democratizing effects. Drawing from a range of sources, Evangelical Christianity and Democracy in Latin America provides case studies of five countries: Brazil, Peru, Mexico, Guatemala, and Nicaragua. The contributors, mainly scholars based in Latin America, bring first hand-knowledge to their chapters. The result is a groundbreaking work that explores the relationship between Latin American evangelicalism and politics, its influences, manifestations, and prospects for the future.

Knowing God as an Evangelical Towards a Canonical-Epistemological Model


Free Download Dan-Adrian Petre, "Knowing God as an Evangelical: Towards a Canonical-Epistemological Model"
English | ISBN: 3031265556 | 2023 | 314 pages | PDF | 10 MB
In the present polyphony of evangelical theological epistemology, there are several authoritative approaches. Yet, the evangelical emphasis on sola scriptura demands that theological epistemology be subjected to the biblical canon. In this book, Dan-Adrian Petre argues for a canonically-derived theological epistemological framework that may foster a fuller understanding of theological knowledge formation within evangelicalism. Specifically, he explores some representative evangelical voices to identify the reasons for the contemporary epistemological variance. Petre then uses a canonical-epistemological methodology to outline a biblically-based framework. In exploring how the Scripture conceptualizes the formation of theological knowledge, the book uses cognitive linguistics to grasp the conceptual meaning of the theological knowledge formation in the Bible using prototypical case studies. The resulting epistemological implications outline a minimal epistemological model derived from the biblical canon. Using this vantage point, the author assesses the contemporary evangelical epistemological dissonance as a means of indicating a way forward for a canonical-epistemological attunement.
