Altar Call in Europe
Author: Uta A. Balbier
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0197502253
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 241
Book Description
"This book provides a transnational history of Billy Graham's revival work in the 1950s, zooming in on his revival meetings in London (1954), Berlin (1954/1960), and New York (1957). It shows how Graham's international ministry took shape in the context of trans-Atlantic debates about the place and future of religion in public life after the experiences of war and at the onset of the Cold War, and through a constant exchange of people, ideas, and practices. It explores the transnational nature of debates about the religious underpinnings of the "Free World" and sheds new light on the contested relationship between business, consumerism, and religion. In the context of Graham's revival meetings, ordinary Christians, theologians, ministers and Church leaders in the United States, Germany, and the UK discussed, experienced, and came to terms with religious modernization and secular anxieties, Cold War culture and the rise of consumerism. The transnational connectedness of their political, economic, and spiritual hopes and fears brings a narrative to life that complicates our understanding of the different secularization paths the United States, the UK, and Germany embarked on in the 1950s. During Graham's altar call in Europe, the contours of a trans-Atlantic revival become visible, even if in the long run it was unable to develop a dynamism that could have sustained this moment in these different national and religious contexts"--

Old Testament Apocryphal Images in European Art
Author: Elizabeth Philpot
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Art and religion
Languages : en
Pages : 408
Book Description
Apokryferna är en samling dramatiska och spännande berättelser som saknas i den hebreiska bibeln men som Martin Luther ansåg vara både bra och nyttiga att läsa. De fanns ofta med i äldre svenska biblar men försvann gradvis under 1800-talet. I den nya svenska bibelöversättningen ingår de som "Tillägg till Gamla testamentet". Elizabeth Philpot har studerat utvecklingen av apokryfiska motiv, både i katolska och protestantiska delar av Europa. Hennes forskning visar att konstnärer har fängslats av berättelserna genom århundradena, med början i Roms katakomber och fram till slutet av 1800-talet. I södra Sverige (Halland, Blekinge och Skåne) återfinns motiv från de apokryfiska böckerna på bonader och bonadsmålningar och i Dalarna på dalmålningar, vilket är unikt för hela Europa. Dalmåleri var ett folkligt måleri som utövades av självlärda småbönder i Dalarna under knappt hundra år från 1770-talet och framåt.
