Book Description
This book identifies where modern Jeremiahs place the sources of national decline and their purposed solutions and its analysis also reveals the central problem faced by this form of writing: the need to balance condemnation of certain practices within the democratic polity with calls for repentance. For these writers and political actors, the tensions created by these demands prove impossible to resolve, as the modern jeremiad further divides an already divided nation.
Modern Jeremiahs
Singing Jeremiah
Author: Robert L. Kendrick
Publisher: Indiana University Press
ISBN: 0253011620
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 351
Book Description
A defining moment in Catholic life in early modern Europe, Holy Week brought together the faithful to commemorate the passion, crucifixion, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. In this study of ritual and music, Robert L. Kendrick investigates the impact of the music used during the Paschal Triduum on European cultures during the mid-16th century, when devotional trends surrounding liturgical music were established; through the 17th century, which saw the diffusion of the repertory at the height of the Catholic Reformation; and finally into the early 18th century, when a change in aesthetics led to an eventual decline of its importance. By considering such issues as stylistic traditions, trends in scriptural exegesis, performance space, and customs of meditation and expression, Kendrick enables us to imagine the music in the places where it was performed.

In Praise of Dissent
Author: Ian Stackhouse
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 85
Book Description
In Praise of Dissent challenges certain aspects of the Covid-19 narrative, in particular the unquestioning compliance of the public, and indeed of churches, towards the policy of lockdown. Given the seriousness of the issues at stake - civil and religious liberties, the power of the media, the growing 'cancel culture' - Ian Stackhouse challenges the passivity of the Christian community. He questions a spirituality that fails to engage politically, and in so doing he seeks to draw analogies between our own period of cultural and political crisis and that of the past. Looking particularly to historical figures such as Bishop George Bell, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Martin Luther King Jnr, and Thomas Merton, Stackhouse makes a case for religious dissent as a legitimate form of Christian witness. He also seeks to demonstrate how dissent can prove to be the most profound expression of patriotism, even though it is often branded, at the time, as treacherous. In Praise of Dissent is not a polemic. Rather, it is an exhortation to think through the relationship between Church and State, the difference between contemporary and biblical notions of social justice, the hypnotic power of the media, and the urgency of creating stable Christian communities that can withstand the 'soft' totalitarianism that is now beginning to assert itself culturally and politically, even in the West.
