Christianity, Islam and Nationalism in Indonesia $39.95 As the largest Muslim country in the world, Indonesia is marked by an extraordinary diversity in language, ancestry, culture, religion and ways of life. Christianity, Islam and Nationalism in Indonesia focuses on the Christian Dani of West Papua, providing a social and ethnographic history of the most important indigenous population in the troubled province. It presents a fascinating overview of the Dani’s conversion to Christianity, examining the social, religious and political uses to which they have put their new religion.While its indigenous population is Papuan and its dominant religions are Christianity and animism, West Papua contains a growing number of Papuan Muslims. Farhadian provides the first study of this highland Papuan group in an urban context which helps distinguish it from the typical highland Papuan ethnography. Incorporating cultural and structural approaches, the book affords a fascinating insight into the complex relationship between Christianity, Islam, and nationalism. |

”A mighty fortress” far from Lake Wobegon: The music of Minnesota’s newest Lutherans. $49.99 While participation in religion is most often perceived to be a conscious choice made without direct connections to race or ethnicity on the part of an individual, it is also apparent that religion never functions outside of both its ethno-cultural context and its ethno-cultural history, and for a large proportion of Lutheran history, this context has been overwhelmingly European and European-American. However, Christianity has become increasingly global within the last century: Latin Americans, Africans, and Asians breathe new life into a once-European and North American theological tradition. Minnesota, considered the most significant hub of Lutheranism, has concurrently become more global. From 1990–2000, the number of foreign-born residents increased by 130 percent.1 Moreover, the way people migrate has changed considerably. While European immigration in the 1900s was long, hard, and permanent, advances in travel and communication technology have made migration a more fluid journey allowing for increased communication between old world(s) and new. This situation raises a number of questions regarding depictions of Minnesota as a haven for Scandinavian, homogeneous, and inflexible Lutherans.;Worship music presents a salient religious medium capable of enabling a vivid redefinition of Minnesotan Lutheranism. How do Cambodians, who have no musical ensemble that remotely resembles a choir in their homeland, create Lutheran worship music in the Twin Cities? Why have Sudanese Lutherans, whose main source of musical inspiration is the reception of songs in dreams, stopped receiving songs in their dreams upon their arrival in the US? As a church’s most audible display of faith and most contested realm of worship, the negotiations involved in the creation of Lutheran worship music illuminate the issues at the heart of the Lutheran church today.;1Bruce Katz, “Census 2000: Key Trends and Implications for Cities,” Brookings Institution, Center for Urban and Metropolitan |

Excerpt: Giambattista della Porta, founder of the Academia Secretorum Naturae The first scientific society, the Academia Secretorum Naturae was founded in Naples in 1560 by Giambattista della Porta , a noted polymath . In Italian it was called Accademia dei Segreti , the Academy of the Mysteries of Nature, and the members referred to themselves as the otiosi (men of leisure). The society met at the home of della Porta in the Due Porte section of Naples so-named in reference to two entrances to caverns that apparently served as a meeting place. (The site has recently been the object of urban archaeology.) “Candidates for membership had to present a new fact in natural science as a condition of membership,” but otherwise membership was open. Its activities came under the subject of an ecclesiastical investigation and della Porta was ordered by Pope Paul V to close his Academy in 1578 by the order of Pope Paul V under suspicion of sorcery .Notes A hyperlinked version of this chapter is at The Church of Scotland , known informally by its Scots language name, The Kirk , is a Presbyterian church , decisively shaped by the Scottish Reformation .The Church of Scotland traces its roots back to the beginnings of Christianity in Scotland , but its identity is principally shaped by the Reformation of 1560.

African Urban Spaces In Historical Perspectives $210.07 African Urban Spaces in Historical Perspective presents new and interdisciplinary approaches to the study of African urban history and culture. It presents original research and integrates historical methodologies with those of anthropology, geography, literature, art, and architecture. Moving between precolonial, colonial, and contemporary urban spaces, it covers the major regions, religions, and cultural influences of sub-Saharan Africa. The themes include Islam and Christianity, architecture, migration, globalization, social and physical decay, identity, race relations, politics, and development. This book elaborates on not only what makes the study of African urban spaces unique within urban historiography, it also offers an-encompassing and up-to-date study of the subject and inserts Africa into the growing debate on urban history and culture throughout the world. . The opportunities provided by the urban milieu are endless and each study opens new potential avenues of research. This book explores some of those avenues and lays the groundwork on which new studies can build.

Biography Of Ralph Mcgill $35 Ralph McGill’s life and work (1898-1969) show how an individual becomes committed to the cause of civil rights and justice. In Vienna, 1938, while still a sports writer, McGill felt a “calling” to fight intolerance, hatred, and racial prejudice. He assumed his eventual role of “conscience of the South” in stages. He became an editor of The Atlanta Constitution but for years struggled to master political and economic commentary. The death of two daughters, his wife’s illnesses, and management of problems at the newspaper further hindered his efforts.Until 1948, McGill believed a long period of economic prosperity and social stability in the South must precede desegregation. Realizing that change was imminent, he tried to serve as mediator between races and sections. McGill’s East Tennessee kinfolks were Southern mountain Republicans. His lifelong idol, Abraham Lincoln, became his model. In 1953, after rejecting Christianity for thirty-six years, he rejoined the church and argued for a new pattern in race relations within that context.The 1957 crisis in Little Rock was another turning point. There, he said, the South forfeited its last chance to change on its own and had to accept federal coercion. National syndication of his column in 1957, along with countless speeches and articles, elevated McGill to preeminent interpreter of the South. Within the region, his life and work epitomize the transition to urban life. |

At a young age he was committed to the care of his brother Urban, who was director of the diocesan seminary of Montiers. After completing his literary course at age 19, he was dissuaded from a career in the army and remained at Montiers for two years, studying philosophy. On October 23, 1836, Miège entered the novitiate of the Society of Jesus (more commonly known as the Jesuits) at Milan; he made his first vows on October 15, 1838.

Christianity in the Greco-Roman World: A Narrative Introduction $24.99 Background becomes foreground in Moyer Hubbard’s creative introduction to the social and historical setting for the letters of the Apostle Paul to churches in Asia Minor and Europe.Hubbard begins each major section with a brief narrative featuring a fictional character in one of the great cities of that era. Then he elaborates on various aspects of the cultural setting related to each particular vignette, discussing the implications of those venues for understanding Paul’s letters and applying their message to our lives today. Addressing a wide array of cultural and traditional issues, Hubbard discusses:• religion and superstition• education, philosophy, and oratory• urban society• households and family life in the Greco-Roman worldThis work is based on the premise that the better one understands the historical and social context in which the New Testament (and Paul’s letters) was written, the better one will understand the writings of the New Testament themselves. Passages become clearer, metaphors deciphered, and images sharpened. Teachers, students, and laypeople alike will appreciate Hubbard’s unique, illuminating, and well-researched approach to the world of the early church. |
