On the Boundaries of American Evangelism: The Postwar Evangelical Coalition

History

Stone, Jon R.

Americas

PALGRAVE~MACMILLAN

Stone (religious studies and American culture, U. of California-Berkeley) seeks to account for the emergence of the coalition among denominations and independent churches during the 1940s and 1950s that defined the postwar evangelical movement, and the fracturing and decline of that coalition from the 1960s to the 1990s. He focuses on the moderate protestants, as distinct from the fundamentalist on the right and liberals on the left. He offers insight into both the historical period and the mechanisms of ideological movements and shifts over time. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.

On the Boundaries of American Evangelicalism: The Postwar Evangelical Coalition

Politics & Social Sciences

Philosophy

American Evangelicalism is a vast and nearly indefinable coalition movement of sometimes competing, sometimes cooperating denominations and independent churches whose ideological boundaries have been shifting since its postwar reemergence. On the Boundaries of American Evangelicalism seeks to account for the emergence of this coalition of moderate Protestants in the 1940s and 1950s as distinct from fundamentalism on the right and liberalism on the left and speculate on the reasons for the fracturing and decline of that coalition in the 1960s to the 1990s.

The Essential Max Müller: On Language, Mythology, and Religion

Max Müller is often referred to as the “father of Religious Studies,” having himself coined the term "science of religion" (or religionswissenschaft) in 1873. It was he who encouraged the comparative study of myth and ritual, and it was he who introduced the oft-quoted dictum: “He who knows one [religion], knows none.” Though a German-born and German-educated philologist, he spent the greater part of his career at Oxford, becoming one of the most famous of the Victorian arm-chair scholars. Müller wrote extensively on Indian philosophy and Vedic religion, translated major sections of the Vedas, the Upanisads, and all of the Dhammapada, yet never visited India. To be sure, his work bears the stamp of late 19th-Century sensibilities, but as artifacts of Victorian era scholarship, Müller's essays are helpful in reconstructing and comprehending the intellectual concerns of this highly enlightened though highly imperialistic age.
