This gently used paperback is a classic meditation on the cultural influences of Protestantism in America, by one of the preeminent scholars of Christian History.  Marty, a Lutheran scholar, is at once empathetic and critical in his assessment.   He traces the often coercive nature of the Protestant majority's efforts to shape America in its own image, the problems of internal dissent and the challenges to Protestant dreams posed by the ever growing reality of pluralism. Although much has happened since this book was published, and much new scholarship has deepened our knowledge of many of the themes Marty treats, this remains an important study that amply rewards careful reading.  This copy is good condition with tight binding and mostly clean unmarked pages. There are occasional very light pencil markings and marginal notations . See all photos carefully to judge condition.  Smoke free home.

The Battle For God & History Of God By Karen Armstrong Audio CD Lot NEW Sealed Audiobooks

The Battle For God & History Of God By Karen Armstrong Audio CD Lot NEW Sealed

Historically, the close of a century--and espe-
cially a millennium -heightens our preoccupation with the end of the world and the role that an evil human agent plays in its coming. In this timely and sweeping exploration, historian and leading expert on apocalypticism Bernard McGinn traces the concept of Antichrist from its Judeo-Christian origins to the present day, alerting us to the potential for violence that often accompanies literal belief in an ultimate human evildoer.
Noting that the idea of Antichrist was formulated from a combination of myth, history, and legend, McGinn demonstrates how Antichrist has alwavs served the human need to understand the persistence of evil in the world. Rooted in Second Temple Judaism -a period of intense religious and political disruption--Antichrist developed out of the belief in malevolent angelic and human forces.

Building a Bridge: How the Catholic Church and the LGBT Community Can Enter into a Relationship of Respect, Compassion, and Sensitivity Paperback
by James Martin

A powerful call for tolerance, acceptance, and support—and a reminder of Jesus' message for us to love one another. In this moving and inspiring book, Martin offers a powerful, loving, and much-needed voice in a time marked by anger, prejudice, and divisiveness.

On the day after the Orlando nightclub shooting, James Martin S.J. posted a video on Facebook in which he called for solidarity with our LGBT brothers and sisters. "The largest mass shooting in US history took place at a gay club and the LGBT community has been profoundly affected," he began. He then implored his fellow Catholics—and people everywhere—to "stand not only with the people of Orlando but also with their LGBT brothers and sisters." Father Martin's post went viral and was viewed more than 1.6 million times.
