Paperback or Softback. Etat : New. Christian Faith and the Making of Europe: Yesterday and Today. Book.

Paperback. Etat : Very Good. Church leaders and those who endeavor to plant new churches in Europe today face tremendous challenges, not least because the church itself is considered by many to be outdated, irrelevant, or even an abusive sect. Drawing on a wealth of experience, Church Planting in Europe helps to answer the question of how churches can become more relevant to the societies in which they exist. From biblical and missiological reflections to case studies and practical examples, the book gives insights into many of the key issues that church planters and those concerned with missionary renewal of existing churches are grappling with. Special attention is paid to the sociocultural and religious characteristics of Europe, which is marked by secularization, new forms of spirituality, and a unique Christian heritage, asking, what are typical barriers and bridges for the communication of the gospel? The contributors represent a wide variety of backgrounds and contexts across Europe and this is reflected in the breadth of topics covered. The chapters were presented during the Mission in Europe Symposium in Belgium (July 2014), and the highlights of the discussions afterwards are also included. The result is a valuable resource for church leaders, mission practitioners, and theologians alike.…

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - Most Europeans do not realise to what extent the world in which they live is shaped by the Bible and Christianity. This book looks at the origins of hospitals, universities, music, social welfare, human rights, the religiously neutral state, liberal democracy, humanism, modern science, and many more.The Christian faith created a common cultural space for the peoples of Europe but also determined national identities. It inspired the founders of the European integration after World War II, and it was a decisive factor in the overthrow of communism some thirty years ago.The author honestly looks at the dark pages written by churches in the past: their connection with state violence, colonialism, intolerance, capitalism, slavery, and especially antisemitism. However, its severest critics in these areas were Christians, taking their inspiration from the Gospel!Paradoxically, Europe is deeply marked by the Christian faith and at the same time by its abandonment. The author describes the rise of secular Europe: the decline of religion, the cultural dechristianisation, the rise of secular ideologies and lifestyles. He then looks at today's society, at secular, religious and demographic trends, post-secular trends in the public and political spheres, and the statistical state of Christianity in different parts of Europe. Special attention is given to committed, nominal and cultural forms of Christianity, and to typical barriers and bridges for the Gospel among seculars and postmoderns.As the author unveils the past and unravels the present, he gives hope: the message to which we owe so much is still 'good news' for Europeans today. …

Hardcover. Etat : Very Good. Hardcover, 319 pages, NOT ex-library. Limited signs of gentle wear, book is clean and bright throughout with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps, firmly bound. Boards show small indentations to edges. Issued without a dust jacket. -- Combining human interest stories with thought provoking analyses, Dr Evert Van de Poll paints the socio-cultural and religious picture of this exceptional continent: its population and cultural variety; past and present idea of 'we Europeans'; immigration, multiculturalism and the issue of (Muslim) integration; the construction of the EU and the concerns it raises; and the quest for the 'soul' of Europe. Special attention is paid to Christian and other roots of Europe; the mixed historical record of Christianity; vestiges of its past dominance; its place and influence in today's societies that are rapidly de-Christianising; and secularization as a European phenomenon. The author indicates specific challenges for Church development, mission and social service. In so doing, he outlines the contours of a contextualised communication of the Gospel. -- Contents: Introduction: Ambiguity and Paradox; 1 Look at Europe (What's in a Name?; Population: Ageing and Changing; Global Influence; Implications for European Christians); 2 Cross Over Europe (Diversity; Religious Zones; A Socio-Cultural Cross; Old and New Divides in the East; How Does Evangelicalism Fit Into the Picture?); 3 The Idea of 'Europe' ('Europe' as a Christian Realm; Protestant 'Europe'; 'Europe' as Civilisation); 4 Contemporary Ideas of 'Europe' (Community of Values; Cultural Zone or Family of Cultures; House of Nations; 'Europe' as Part of 'the West'; 'We' Versus the 'others'); 5 The 'Construction of Europe' (Attempts to Unite Europe; The Time Was Ripe; Construction of Europe: First Stage; U-turn in the East; Construction of Europe: Second Phase; Emerging Red Line in the East; Objectives and Motto); 6 A Time to Remember, a Time to Build (Evangelical Views on European Unity; Remember the Moments of Grace; Ora et Labora); 7 National and European Identities (European Identity; National Identity and 'Nationalism'; Case of Europe; Complementary Identities; 'Europe' and 'the Other'; Biblical Perspective); 8 Mobility, Migration and Widening Horizons (Mobility and Migration; Migration; Widened Horizons and Reinforced Diversity; Opportunities for Christians); 9 Multiculturality and the Issue of Integration (External Immigration; Multicultural Society; Political Reactions; Challenges for Churches in Society); 10 Muslims in Europe: Facts and Fears (Facts; Muslim Presence Becomes an Issue; Fear for Violent Anti-Western Radicalism); 11 Concerns and Prospects: A Soul for Europe (Crisis and Setback; Concerns; Eurosceptics; What Next?

Buch. Etat : Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Celebrating Biblical and Jewish holidays is most characteristic of the Messianic Jewish movement, and it arouses much interest among Gentile Christians. This practice arose in the struggle of Hebrew Christians in the 19th century against «Christian assimilation». From the 1970s onwards, a new generation of Messianic Jews identified strongly with their people's socio-cultural heritage, including the practice of Sabbath, Pesach and other Jewish holidays. A thorough analysis of calendars, reinterpretations, observances and motives shows that this is a novel, Christian-Judaic practice. Why and how do Gentile Christians adopt it To return to «Jewish roots» What does this term stand for As the author takes up these questions, he shows that this is rather a contextualisation of the Gospel.…
