A State of the Union and Disunion Survey
This book comes out of work and discussions being carried on between Evangelical and Orthodox believers in the UK. As such, it reads like an overview of issues meant to be a guide for directing further conversations. One thus does not find a deep and sustained handling of the issues, but a survey of key areas in the Christians faith, showing where the two groups involved find consonance and caution. By the end, you have a clear understanding that there are large areas of belief and practice that they share as part of the Great Tradition, but there are also some pretty significant ways the two groups can diverge. Most interesting is where the author takes what looks like a disagreement and shows that Evangelicals and the Orthodox may be closer to each other than they might normally assume. With the growing interest in Orthodoxy among Protestants, particularly in North America, this is a good orientation to what can be, on first encounter, a very confusing terrain. ... Read more

Product Description
In European countries other than Britain, secularization has meant the church's role in education was the subject of fierce controversy between church and state. In England, however, the Church has always had a profound influence on education and the main conflict has been between denominations. This book provides an historical overview of the relationships between the churches and the state, as well as a detailed analysis of the reforms of the 1980s and 1990s. ... Read more

Product Description
A global study of church-state relations by Scotland's leading writer and broadcaster on religious affairs. He argues for disestablishment of the Church of England and the setting up of a National Religious Council to defend the Christian heritage of Britain. On an international level, church-state relations have never been so diverse, or so crucial in political terms. In Britain the Church of England criticizes government policy, in Brazil the Roman Catholic Church has become champion of the people, in the USA an atheist cannot become President and throughout Europe outmoded church-state models can result in new forms of oppression. Stewart Lamont has travelled the world to carry out research into these areas, and this book presents his findings and conclusions. ... Read more

Quotation from the Christian and Missionary Alliance "Every vital church has need for an ongoing class in membership preparation.

Thorough Yet Very Readable
This book is a detailed history of the Ridgeway Alliance Church in White Plains, New York (originally the Christian and Missionary Alliance Church of White Plains). At first glance, that might not sound very interesting yet the author has written a book which is easily readable and genuinely interesting -- a good read! What comes through plainly is how God has used Ridgeway to share the Gospel with and change people's lives for the better. Also covered is the active participation of the church and its members not only locally but in missions around the world. This book includes fascinating information that may be surprising to long-time members as well as those attending for the first time. It will appeal not only to current and former members, but to those interested in church history, the C & MA denomination and Christians who want to read how God can use a congregation to reach out with the love of Jesus Christ to their community and beyond. Though the history covers 1907 through 2007, the church is alive and well and continues to be used by God to minister to people of all ages and backgrounds. ... Read more

Product Description
High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Overall, the Mongols were highly tolerant of most religions and typically sponsored several at the same time. Though in modern times the Mongols are primarily Buddhist, during the time of the Mongol Empire they had a sustantial number of Christians, many of whom were in positions of considerable power. Many Mongols had been proselytized by Christian Nestorians from the Assyrian Church of the East, since about the 7th century. When Genghis Khan, as the young Temüjin, swore allegiance with his men at the Baljuna Covenant, there were representatives of nine tribes among the 20 men. Temüjin was a shamanist, and the others included "several Christians, three Muslims, and several Buddhists. ... Read more

Product Description
The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own: digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries, undergraduate students, and independent scholars.
The Age of Enlightenment profoundly enriched religious and philosophical understanding and continues to influence present-day thinking. Works collected here include masterpieces by David Hume, Immanuel Kant, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau, as well as religious sermons and moral debates on the issues of the day, such as the slave trade. The Age of Reason saw conflict between Protestantism and Catholicism transformed into one between faith and logic -- a debate that continues in the twenty-first century.
