DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn Like Leaven in the Dough: Protestant Social Thought in Latin America, 1920-1950, Carlos Mondragón, offers an introduction to the ideas of notable Protestant writers in Latin America during the first half of the twentieth century. Despite their national and denominational differences, Mondragón argues that Protestant intellectuals developed a coherent set of ideas about freedom of religion and thought, economic justice, militarism, and national identity. This was a period when Protestants comprised a very small proportion of Latin America's total population; their very marginality compelled them to think creatively about their identity and place in Latin American society. Accused of embracing a foreign faith, these Protestants struggled to define national identities that had room for religious diversity and liberty of conscience. Marginalized and persecuted themselves, Latin America's Protestants articulated a liberating message decades before the appearance of Catholic Liberation Theology.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKMiguel Pro: Martyrdom and Politics in Twentieth-Century Mexico examines the complex relationship of modern martyrdom as preserved by memory and factual truth, and as retold through stories intended to impel political and religious aims. Martyr narratives depend on institutional affiliation to remain in the public memory, and are altered in order to maintain their ability to mobilize followers within changing social and political contexts. In order to examine the evolution of lasting martyr narratives, López-Menéndez scrutinizes the various renditions of the 1927 execution of Miguel Pro, a Jesuit priest caught in the bloody conflict between Catholics and the post-revolutionary state.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKJohn Wesley distinguished between essential doctrines on which agreement or consensus is critical and opinions about theology or church practices on which disagreement must be allowed. Though today few people join churches based on doctrinal commitments, once a person has joined a church it becomes important to know the historic teachings of that church's tradition. In Methodist Doctrine: The Essentials, Ted Campbell outlines historical doctrinal consensus in American Episcopal Methodist Churches in a comparative and ecumenical dialogue with the doctrinal inheritance of other major families of Christian tradition. In this way, the book shows both what Methodist churches historically teach in common with ecumenical Christianity and what is distinctive about the Methodist tradition in its various contemporary forms. Documents examined include The Twenty-Five Articles of Religion, The General Rules, Wesley's Standard Sermons and Explanatory Notes upon the New Testament, The Methodist Social Creed, and the Apostles' Creed.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK¡Cantemos! Ha sido creado por la pasión del canto congregacional de Keith y Kristyn Getty y ha sido formado a través de viajes y presentaciones al escuchar, discutir, aprender y enseñar a través de todo el mundo. Con la creación de este material ellos tienen cinco objetivos clave: Descubrir por qué cantamos y la abrumadora dicha y el santo privilegio que proviene de cantar. Considerar que cantar impacta nuestras vidas, corazones y mentes. Cultivar una cultura de familia que canta, en nuestra vida familiar diaria. Equipar a nuestras iglesias para cantar con sinceridad al Señor y a los demás en una expresión de unidad. Inspirarnos para ver el canto congregacional como un testigo radical para el mundo. También se han incluido «pistas adicionales» al final, con sugerencias prácticas para usarlas con grupos que están más profundamente relacionados con el canto en la iglesia. El propósito de Dios a través de esta irresistible visión de ver a Su pueblo cantando (personas que alegremente se unen a cantar, hermanos y hermanas alrededor del mundo y alrededor de Su trono) es incluirte. Él quiere que todos nosotros cantemos. Sing! has grown from Keith and Kristyn Getty’s passion for congregational singing; it’s been formed by their traveling and playing and listening and discussing and learning and teaching all over the world. And in writing it, they have five key aims: • to discover why we sing and the overwhelming joy and holy privilege that comes with singing • to consider how singing impacts our hearts and minds and all of our lives • to cultivate a culture of family singing in our daily home life • to equip our churches for wholeheartedly singing to the Lord and one another as an expression of unity • to inspire us to see congregational singing as a radical witness to the world They have also added a few “bonus tracks” at the end with some more practical suggestions for different groups who are more deeply involved with church singing. God intends for this compelling vision of His people singing—a people joyfully joining together in song with brothers and sisters around the world and around His heavenly throne—to include you. He wants you, He wants us, to sing.

Pese a sus mejores esfuerzos, &¿ por qué los ni&ñ os rechazan tan a menudo la fe cristiana? La respuesta se encuentra en las premisas teol&ó gicas que sustentan gran parte de la educaci&ó n contempor&á nea. Aunque la clase dirigente educativa suele presentar sus modelos como productos derivados de investigaciones basadas en pruebas y teol&ó gicamente neutras, no lo son en absoluto.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKEl Cristianismo, abarca las iglesias: Católica, Luteranas, Calvinistas, la Anglicana y otras, es una inagotable fuente de fe que aglutina a casi la mitad de la humanidad. Esta creencia y doctrina se originó en las comunidades formadas por Saulo, inventor y fundador del Cristianismo; para la Iglesia "San Pablo". Saulo padecía del gran mal o epilepsia con crisis convulsivas más frecuentes de lo deseable. Se formó a la sombra del reino herodiano, civis romano, influyente ante los romanos y ante los judíos, jefe de la policía moral judía y persecutor de Yeshua bar Jehudá o Jesús de Nazaret, hasta su muerte en la Cruz. Jamás cruzó palabra con Jeshua, no lo conoció más que de vista y por lo tanto desconocía absolutamente su palabra y enseñanzas. Por su propia iniciativa se autonombró "Apostol de los Gentiles" o Apóstol 13° y fue el inventor y fundador del cristianismo. Más de 200 años después de su muerte, las comunidades cristianas se multiplicaron y se extendieron por todo el Imperio Romano. El Emperador Constantino I el Grande, la reconoció oficialmente, la vistió con la personalidad de Mitra y el mitraísmo y le heredó el poderío imperial con que vive hasta la fecha.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKReligion and politics have historically clashed in modern Spain but the complexity of the controversial and sometimes violent relationships between Catholic values and modern political regimes continue to ride a precarious line of spiritual accommodation versus public policy. Leading experts on religious Spanish tradition and recent historiographic findings set out to define and interrogate grey areas in the last two centuries beyond the reductive conventional notion of an ever-warring "Two Spains." The Soul of the Nation unravels the role of religion in the country's public life following the imperial crisis of 1808 when the Catholic Monarchy put the role of the Church at heart of political and cultural debates.
