Christian Circulations
Author: Jean Debernardi
Publisher: National University of Singapore Press
ISBN: 9789813251090
Category : Brethren churches
Languages : en
Pages : 472
Book Description
In postcolonial Singapore and Malaysia, Pentecostal megachurches dominate the Christian landscape, but the "big four" Protestant churches--Anglican, Methodist, Presbyterian, and Brethren--remain religions of heritage for many people. Christian Circulations focuses on the last of those, offering a transregional history of the Brethren movement and its growth in Singapore and Malaysia. Sixty Malaysian and nineteen Singaporean religious assemblies identify themselves as Christian Brethren, and most trace their roots to independent local churches formed in Penang and Singapore in the 1860s. After World War II, former Brethren elders founded new independent churches, from charismatic local churches and Pentecostal megachurches to a small network of Exclusive Brethren assemblies. Jean DeBernardi traces all these developments and changes, presenting a history of discontinuous continuities that have shaped the modern field of religious practice in Southeast Asia.

Circulations in the Global History of Art
Author: Thomas DaCosta Kaufmann
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317166140
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 302
Book Description
The project of global art history calls for balanced treatment of artifacts and a unified approach. This volume emphasizes questions of transcultural encounters and exchanges as circulations. It presents a strategy that highlights the processes and connections among cultures, and also responds to the dynamics at work in the current globalized art world. The editors’ introduction provides an account of the historical background to this approach to global art history, stresses the inseparable bond of theory and practice, and suggests a revaluation of materialist historicism as an underlying premise. Individual contributions to the book provide an overview of current reflection and research on issues of circulation in relation to global art history and the globalization of art past and present. They offer a variety of methods and approaches to the treatment of different periods, regions, and objects, surveying both questions of historiography and methodology and presenting individual case studies. An 'Afterword' by James Elkins gives a critique of the present project. The book thus deliberately leaves discussion open, inviting future responses to the large questions it poses.

Blood and Belief
Author: David Biale
Publisher: Univ of California Press
ISBN: 0520253043
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 316
Book Description
"A wonderful, rich, and fascinating book, and a great read. Biale explores the meanings of blood within Jewish and Christian cultures from the blood of the sacrifices of the book of Leviticus to the blood of the Eucharist to the blood of medieval blood libels and the place of blood in Nazi ideology. Biale shows that blood symbolism stands at the center of the divide between Judaism and Christianity. This book will be the point of departure for all future studies of the subject."—Shaye J.D. Cohen, Harvard University "I know of no other work that, through numerous insights and useful distinctions, so alerts us to and comprehensively documents the ongoing constitutive role of Christian and anti-Semitic perceptions of Jewish existence and the interactions between them. Whereas much contemporary historiography has become so specialized that historians have surrendered the larger picture, David Biale's panoramic perspective reveals the great value and interest of this work."—Steven E.
