Sermons On National Subjects
Author: Charles Kingsley
Publisher: BoD – Books on Demand
ISBN: 9359329908
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 328
Book Description
"Sermons on National Subjects" is a collection of sermons written by Charles Kingsley, a 19th-century English clergyman, social reformer, and writer. This book exemplifies Kingsley's ongoing dedication to tackling key social and political issues of his time via the lens of his Christian ministry. Some stories are brutal and weird, while others sneak up on you and gradually imbibe you in. Some stories are fascinating and fantastic, while others creep up on you and draw you in. The plot is full of twists and turns that will keep the reader interested. As the titular character is so self-indulgent, readers are forced to keep reading to find out what happens next. Kingsley tackles a wide range of national themes in "Sermons on National Subjects," including social justice, labor reform, the role of the Church in society, and the obligations of individuals and nations. He uses his position of power to advocate for progressive social reform and better working-class circumstances. Another major focus of the sermons is the concept of Christian duty in the face of social problems. Kingsley encourages his audience to participate actively in activities aimed at alleviating poverty, promoting education, and combating social injustice.

Social and Cognitive Perspectives on the Sermon on the Mount
Author: Rikard Roitto
Publisher: Studies in Ancient Religion and Culture
ISBN: 9781781794227
Category : Psychology, Religious
Languages : en
Pages : 256
Book Description
Social and Cognitive Perspectives on the Sermon on the Mount offers fresh readings of themes and individual sayings in the Sermon on the Mount (SM) using socio-cognitive approaches. Because these approaches are invested in patterns of human cognition and social mechanisms, the resulting collection highlights the persistent appeal and persuasiveness of the SM: from innate moral drives, to the biology of emotion and risk-taking, to the formation and obliteration of in-group/out-group distinctions. Through these theories the authors show why--even across cultures and history--the SM continues to grip both individual minds and groups of people in order to shape moral communities. Classical historical-critical readings interpret the sermon according to the conventions of literature, seeking a relationship to other texts and ideas. By contrast our volume explores the SM not so much for the logical and historical relationships to other literary traditions, but also--and perhaps more importantly--for the ways it stimulates emotional, biologically, culturally habituated, evolutionarily preconditioned, and socially sanctioned characteristics of humans. In short, the volume shines a light on the action-inducing properties of the text. The volume will introduce a broader group of scholars, students, and clergy to the relevance of social scientific and cognitive studies for interpretation of the Bible, by applying these approaches to possibly the most read and discussed text in the Bible.
