Showing titles in Fundamentalism

Christian Fundamentalism is a doctrine and a discourse in tension. Fundamentalists describe themselves as both marginal and a majority. They announce the imminent end of the world, while building massive megachurches and political lobbying organizations. They speak of the need for purity and separation from the outside world, while continually innovating in their search for more effective and persuasive ways to communicate with and convert outsiders.

Jamie Bartlett takes us inside the worlds of innovators, disruptors, idealists and extremists who think society is broken, and believe they know how to fix it. Radicals introduces us to techno-futurists questing for immortality, far-right groups seeking to close borders, environmentalists striving to save the planet, libertarian movements founding new countries, autonomous cooperatives in self-sustaining micro-societies and psychedelic pioneers attempting to heal society

What does it mean to be Orthodox? The Orthodox faith teaches a way of living that leads to eternal life. This also means a person acknowledges the struggle with sin and human passions, particularly related to man-woman relationship, sexuality, and the purpose of marriage as revealed by God The articles in this book use Scripture and traditional sacred writings as a foundation to explain Orthodox views on these topics and others. Written by Orthodox priests and laymen, the articles provide insight into God’s will and the human spirit. I have been a Romanian Orthodox priest for over forty ...

Sekter findes overalt i vores samfund, men de kan være svære at få øje på. De eksisterer dog i bedste velgående, og der er mange. I serien SEKTENS GREB fortæller tidligere medlemmer fra blandet andet Jehovas Vidner, Faderhuset, og Evangelist/Powerhouse om deres vej ind og ud af et sekterisk miljø. Vi går bag om de problematikker, som sekter skaber. Vi tager hele rejsen fra den første kontakt og rekruttering til sekten, til sektens psykologi, livet i en sekt, livet som pårørende, exit og de ofte meget store kon­sekvenser, det har at have tilhørt en sekt.

Religionen werden maßgeblich durch ihre Medien geprägt – z. B. Judentum, Christentum und Islam von ihren jeweiligen Alphabeten und dem darauf basierenden Denken. Digitalisierung bedeutet daher auch, dass Kirchen und Religionen immer weniger als unabhängige Akteure erscheinen, sondern als Varianten von "Religion" insgesamt wahrgenommen werden. Gegen den Trend zur globalen Vereinheitlichung stemmen sich religiöse Fundamentalisten, die seriöse Wissenschaften, freiheitliche Gesellschaften und andere Religionen bekämpfen.

Il presente audiolibro (narrato da Antonello Macchiaroli) è stato elaborato sulla base dell'ultima edizione dell'opera pubblicata in Firenze il 1865 dalla Tipografia Claudiana con il titolo "Gesù e Gesuita" di Napoléon Roussel (15 novembre 1805-1878). L'originale del libro in argomento, ha sopravvissuto sufficientemente per non essere più protetto dai diritti di copyright che sono scaduti per diventare di pubblico dominio. "...un gesuita, con la bolla Unigenitus alla mano, divenne l`arbitro della Francia e la riempì di terrore."

The Chinese New Year is certainly an interesting time of year, not just for those that celebrate it first-hand but for anyone to witness or observe as an important global phenomenon. The changing date of the holiday fluctuates from January to February on today's calendar because, as with all traditional Chinese holidays, it follows the lunar calendar. This tradition can be seen throughout parts of Asia and is not limited to just the mainland of China.

The Book of Revelation is by far the most explosive prophecy of our day, and many people are now convinced that we are living in the time period that John the mystic wrote about nearly 2000 years ago. With the advent of the 21st Century, hundreds of religious cults and biblical scholars, and the major religions of Islam, Christianity and Judaism are all predicting some type of catastrophic global upheaval. However, as mankind has been reminded for centuries, no one knows the hour or the day when all of this will suddenly happen.

The Countdown of 1290 days began with COVID. THE ABOMINATION THAT MAKES DESOLATE must surely qualify as one of the most misinterpreted subjects in the entire Bible. In truth, it is a mystery, as evidenced by the fact that even the prophet Daniel himself did not fully comprehend its meaning. (Daniel 12:8-9) Clearly, therefore, there is no shame in failing to understand all the details of this major End-Times’ prophetic event. This is where Joseph Dumond’s second book in his Elijah Trilogy comes as such a timely and most befitting word in season. This work is best suited for those who ...

One of the greatest problems Christians face today is where to focus their time and energy. Many Christians jump from one cause or program to another, never quite feeling fulfilled or satisfied in their Christian life. In the book FOCUS, Pastor Jay McCaig leads us through five areas of spiritual growth that every Christian and church must understand if they are ever going to turn the world upside down for Christ. Freedom – As Christians, we have a level of freedom that is beyond anything that any government or institution can provide. Are you living in bondage or living in the freedom ...

Behistun Inscription: A Cornerstone of Biblical Archaeology Discover the profound historical and apologetic significance of the Behistun Inscription, a monumental trilingual record carved high into the cliffs of Mount Behistun by order of Darius the Great. This ancient Persian inscription stands as a powerful witness to the accuracy of historical records from the Achaemenid Empire, providing detailed accounts of Darius’s lineage, his divinely attributed victories, and the turbulent events that shaped the ancient Near East. The text, inscribed in Old Persian, Elamite, and Babylonian, was ...

The modern Christian Church is in a state of serious decline. But this was prophesied all through the New Testament. The World Christian Encyclopedia estimates there are over 40,000 denominations worldwide. Even if the truth were only 10% of that number, this would be a ludicrous situation. Many of these denominations are relatively small and localized, but others are large and widely recognized. And that number does not include quasi-Christian movements like the Mormons and Jehovah’s Witnesses. But the reason there are so many denominations is because there are that many belief systems. ...

Hard hitting, funny, outrageous, and tender by turns, Secret Radio delivers a scathing assessment of the scandals, gross ignorance of Scripture, and back room deals that have been tolerated in Fundamentalism, while at the same time showing the genuine faith of many who labor for Christ and find Him faithful to His people. Told in journal format as Grace narrates her story, the book chronicles the lives of Grace and her five roommates during her senior year, from the dreamy Lilly who draws action and adventure comics to the brilliant, poker-faced Cinn, the godly Amy Carmichael and tragic ...
