DOWNLOAD EBOOKWhy were so many religious images and objects broken and damaged in the course of the Reformation? Margaret Aston's magisterial new book charts the conflicting imperatives of destruction and rebuilding throughout the English Reformation from the desecration of images, rails and screens to bells, organs and stained glass windows. She explores the motivations of those who smashed images of the crucifixion in stained glass windows and who pulled down crosses and defaced symbols of the Trinity. She shows that destruction was part of a methodology of religious revolution designed to change people as well as places and to forge in the long term new generations of new believers. Beyond blanked walls and whited windows were beliefs and minds impregnated by new modes of religious learning. Idol-breaking with its emphasis on the treacheries of images fundamentally transformed not only Anglican ways of worship but also of seeing, hearing and remembering.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe mixture of hostility and fascination with which native-born Protestants viewed the "foreign" practices of the "immigrant" church is the focus of Jenny Franchot's cultural, literary, and religious history of Protestant attitudes toward Roman Catholicism in nineteenth-century America. Franchot analyzes the effects of religious attitudes on historical ideas about America's origins and destiny. She then focuses on the popular tales of convent incarceration, with their Protestant "maidens" and lecherous, tyrannical Church superiors. Religious captivity narratives, like those of Indian captivity, were part of the ethnically, theologically, and sexually charged discourse of Protestant nativism. Discussions of Stowe, Longfellow, Hawthorne, and Lowell—writers who sympathized with "Romanism" and used its imaginative properties in their fiction—further demonstrate the profound influence of religious forces on American national character. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press's mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1994.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe all-time bestseller; the most translated book; the most controversial title--The Bible. Throughout the ages this precious book has been both persecuted and preserved, yet many today question the inspiration of the Bible as their faith weakens, and the Biblical fundamentals on which our modern day society depend crumble. This book was written to confirm and establish faith in the true infallible word of God. Today more than ever is a need to return to the authentic roots of our spiritual foundations. With the lines between the true and the false becoming blurred to unrecognition, it is imperative we can discern the accurate. Satan is working overtime to the point, if it were possible, he would decieve the very elect. Faulty Bible translations exist which draw minds away from the truth to the deceiver. Our Authorized Bible Vindicated explores the history of the bible throughout the centuries and how it has been preserved in its entirety untainted. The reader will be lead on a journey back to a solid belief in the true word of God and how to discern it from the false.
