Book Description
Crow Christianity speaks in many voices, and in the pages of Crow Jesus, these voices tell a complex story of Christian faith and Native tradition combining and reshaping each other to create a new and richly varied religious identity. In this collection of narratives, fifteen members of the Apsáalooke (Crow) Nation in southeastern Montana and three non-Native missionaries to the reservation describe how Christianity has shaped their lives, their families, and their community through the years. Among the speakers are elders and young people, women and men, pastors and laypeople, devout traditionalists and skeptics of the indigenous cultural way. Taken together, the narratives reveal the startling variety and sharp contradictions that exist in Native Christian devotion among Crows today, from Pentecostal Peyotists to Sun-Dancing Catholics to tongues-speaking Baptists in the sweat lodge. Editor Mark Clatterbuck also offers a historical overview of Christianity’s arrival, growth, and ongoing influence in Crow Country, with special attention to Christianity’s relationship to traditional ceremonies and indigenous ways of seeing the world. In Crow Jesus, Clatterbuck explores contemporary Native Christianity by listening as indigenous voices narrate their own stories on their own terms. His collection tells the larger story of a tribe that has adopted Christian beliefs and practices in such a way that simple, unqualified designations of religious belonging—whether “Christian” or “Sun Dancer” or “Peyotist”—are seldom, if ever, adequate.

Gin, Jesus, and Jim Crow
Author: Brendan J. J. Payne
Publisher: LSU Press
ISBN: 0807177709
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 290
Book Description
In Gin, Jesus, and Jim Crow, Brendan J. J. Payne reveals how prohibition helped realign the racial and religious order in the South by linking restrictions on alcohol with political preaching and the disfranchisement of Black voters. While both sides invoked Christianity, prohibitionists redefined churches’ doctrines, practices, and political engagement. White prohibitionists initially courted Black voters in the 1880s but soon dismissed them as hopelessly wet and sought to disfranchise them, stoking fears of drunken Black men defiling white women in their efforts to reframe alcohol restriction as a means of racial control. Later, as the alcohol industry grew desperate, it turned to Black voters, many of whom joined the brewers to preserve their voting rights and maintain personal liberties. Tracking southern debates about alcohol from the 1880s through the 1930s, Payne shows that prohibition only retreated from the region once the racial and religious order it helped enshrine had been secured.

Jayber Crow
Author: Wendell Berry
Publisher: Catapult
ISBN: 1582436894
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 385
Book Description
“This is a book about Heaven,” says Jayber Crow, “but I must say too that . . . I have wondered sometimes if it would not finally turn out to be a book about Hell.” It is 1932 and he has returned to his native Port William to become the town's barber. Orphaned at age ten, Jayber Crow’s acquaintance with loneliness and want have made him a patient observer of the human animal, in both its goodness and frailty. He began his search as a “pre–ministerial student” at Pigeonville College. There, freedom met with new burdens and a young man needed more than a mirror to find himself. But the beginning of that finding was a short conversation with “Old Grit,” his profound professor of New Testament Greek. “You have been given questions to which you cannot be given answers. You will have to live them out—perhaps a little at a time.” “And how long is that going to take?” “I don't know. As long as you live, perhaps.” “That could be a long time.” “I will tell you a further mystery,” he said. “It may take longer.” Wendell Berry’s clear–sighted depiction of humanity’s gifts—love and loss, joy and despair—is seen though his intimate knowledge of the Port William Membership.

Languages : en
Pages : 1602
Book Description
A Bible That Helps You See Yourself as God Sees You. No matter your life stage, you're probably facing a challenge or a change. Whatever you're facing, you probably wish you had somewhere to turn for guidance and support. Imagine you had a resource that could not only share wisdom, but also lift you up and show you that you are more than just your struggles. That's what Flourish: The NIV Bible for Women is about: becoming who you are in Christ through your relationship with him. Drawing on the truths of Scripture, the features in this Bible will strengthen you with insights and encouragement for the issues you face. Myths articles expose commonly accepted myths of our culture that many women believe—misconceptions about love, relationships, God, fulfillment, sex, faith, identity, and more. Each article opens with the first-person story of a woman who believes a particular myth and how that affects her life. Then, principles from the Bible refute the myth and offer practical guidance and help. In addition, the Think About notes take you to the heart of important topics such as marriage, conflict, money, sex, and pride, equipping you with biblical insights that help you face common concerns with uncommon wisdom. In the form of personal interviews, Ask Me Anything profiles introduce you to 30 women from the Bible. Offering frank insights drawn from the best and worst of their lives, they have much to say about life today. You'll find questions to reflect on, either alone or with a friend or mentor, in the Flourish: Questions for Growth. And the He Is notes highlight attributes of God, giving you a bigger picture of the God who loves you and longs to be in a relationship with you. Altogether, these resources combine to offer you the knowledge, strength, and clarity to navigate life's challenges with God's Word as your guide and to be the capable woman God created you to be. Features: Complete text of the accurate, readable, and clear New International Version (NIV) 100 Myth articles—States a commonly accepted myth that the world tells you is true, then refutes the myth with the truth of God’s Word. 30 Ask Me Anything profiles—Interviews a woman from the Bible who speaks to modern readers about the life issue she faced. 200 Flourish: Questions for Growth—Questions to reflect on, either alone or with a friend or mentor. 200 He Is notes—Highlights an attribute of God as shown or taught in Scripture and teaches how that affects a woman’s identity. 300 Think About notes—Short teaching notes on life topics such as money, sex, and pride. Articles on topics such as mentoring, developing a consistent time with God, Bible reading plans, and more 66 book introductions Subject index
