The Urban Pulpit
Author: Matthew Bowman
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0199977615
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 322
Book Description
Matthew Bowman explores the world of a neglected group of American Christians: the self-identified liberal evangelicals who began in late nineteenth-century New York to reconcile traditional evangelical spirituality with progressive views on social activism and theological questions. These evangelicals emphasized the importance of supernatural conversion experience, but also argued that scientific advances, new movements in art, and the decline in poverty created by a new industrial economy could facilitate encounters with Christ. The Urban Pulpit chronicles the struggle of liberal evangelicals against conservative Protestants who questioned their theological sincerity and against secular reformers who grew increasingly devoted to the cause of cultural pluralism and increasingly suspicious of evangelicals over the course of the twentieth century. Liberal evangelicals walked a difficult path, facing increasing polarization in twentieth-century American public life; both conservative evangelicals and secular reformers insisted that religion and science were necessarily at odds and that evangelical Christianity was incompatible with cultural diversity. Liberal evangelicals rejected these simple dichotomies, but nonetheless found it increasingly difficult to defend their middle way. Drawing on history, anthropology, and religious studies, Bowman paints a complex portrait of these understudied Christians at work, at worship, and engaged in advocacy in the public square.

America's Fastest Growing Churches
Author: Elmer L Towns
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780768406115
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 170
Book Description
Here is the story of 10 churches in America that are growing at a very rapid pace. They are different in many respects: sections of the country, age of congregation, age of pastor, and their approach to the task of growth. Author Towns has done a very fine job in elaborating these differences but the major contribution of the book may well be the strong emphasis on the ways in which they are alike. It is must reading for every pastor and church member who is depressed by declining attendance or lack of growth.
