‘Where All Things Are Pure And Of Good Report’: The Doctrinal Theology, Religious Practice, And Media Manipulation Of The Christian Science Church, Douglas J. Swanson Ed.D Apr

Douglas J. Swanson, Ed.D APR

The Church of Christ, Scientist is 21st century religious movement that is facing considerable challenges to its existence on many fronts. The church is bound to an unalterable religious theology and intractable management structure established by Mary Baker Eddy, its 19th century founder. For more than a century, the church has followed Mrs. Eddy’s example and successfully manipulated the media to control dissemination of information. Recent financial crisis and legal dissent has generated unprecedented dissent, both inside and outside Christian Science. This research looks at how church leadership struggles to address 21st century problems with its 19th century frameworks.

The Christian Practice Of Everyday Life Series, William Cavanaugh

William T. Cavanaugh

The Christian Practice of Everyday Life series presents specifically Christian perspectives on some of the most prevalent contemporary practices of everyday life. The books in this series are motivated by the conviction that, in the contemporary context, Christians must actively demonstrate that their allegiance to the God of Jesus Christ always takes priority over secular structures that compete for our loyalty--including the state, the market, race, class, gender, and other functional idolatries.

Eucharistie Et Mondialisation: La Liturgie Comme Acte Politique, William Cavanaugh

William T. Cavanaugh

La mondialisation : opportunité pour la nouvelle évangélisation, ou caricature de la catholicité de l'Église ? Afin de répondre à cette question, William Cavanaugh remonte à l'origine de l'État-nation, au moment où, dit-on, les guerres de religion, au XVIIe siècle, obligèrent les États à s'arroger le rôle d'arbitres entre les différentes confessions chrétiennes pour préserver la paix civile. En trois chapitres, ce livre démontre qu'en réalité les guerres de religion n'ont pas créé, mais accompagné le développement de l'État tout-puissant. Sous prétexte de paix civile, les théoriciens de l'État moderne, notamment Hobbes, Locke et Rousseau, ont relégué la religion dans …

"Balthasar, Globalization, And The Problem Of The One And The Many", William T. Cavanaugh

William T. Cavanaugh

In "Balthasar, Globalization, and the Problem of the One and the Many," William T. Cavanaugh sets forth a theological reading of globalization as an attempt to resolve the problem of the one and the many through an "aesthetics"--a "way of configuring space"--that "abstracts human relations . . . from their concrete embodiment in the local and the particular." Balthasar’s centering of the one-many relation on the concrete universality of Christ, Cavanaugh argues, points us towards an alternative aesthetics (and dramatics) in which the particular is given its particularity precisely by its incorporation into the universal," the eucharistic body of Christ. …
