Spiritual Lives

The leading statesman of nineteenth-century Britain, a figure who bestrode the political world like a Colossus, is 'Gladstone' to modern biographers. In order to signal the difference between Wheeler's approach and those of earlier biographers, the subject of this book is known as William, his baptismal name. His autobiographical fragments of 1892 included a disclaimer: 'I do not indeed intend in these notes to give a history of the inner life, which I think has with me been extraordinarily dubious, vacillating, and (above all) complex'. William Gladstone: The Heart and Soul of a Statesman is about the spiritual dimension of his complex inner life. In tracing the movements of his heart and soul, the book works from the inner to the outer aspects of a rich and varied life, from William's daily disciplines of prayer and reflection to his earnest attempts to follow the precepts of Christianity through action in the public realm and in private philanthropy, and in the writing of numerous reviews, articles, and books. He remained an independent intellectual, eschewing party labels within the Church of England and working out his own stance in relation to specific Liberal party policies in politics. He was as much a man of letters as he was a politician. Later in his political career, 'the people's William' appealed to public opinion through a series of national moral campaigns. His fiercest battles, however, were spiritual, as he castigated himself for falling short of the ideals set out in Jesus' sermon on the mount, particularly with regard to sexual desire as he sought to rescue women from a life of prostitution and became infatuated with a former courtesan. His longest crusade was against the enemy within.

Elements in New Religious Movements

Jehovah's Witnesses began as an informal Bible study group in the 1870s that sought to recover first-century Christian beliefs and practices. While briefly covering controversies, this Element focuses on the culture and experience of the millions who comprise the Witness community. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

Media, Religion and Culture

This book provides a critical interpretation of media engagement among American evangelicals today-in the age of tweets, smart phones, bloggers, 24-hour news, and an almost infinite number of TV channels. Deftly employing the methods of religious studies, media theory, and cultural studies, author Deborah Whitehead offers readers a series of richly textured case studies-on Tim Tebow and "tebowing," evangelical "mommy blogs," megachurch design, creation care websites, and evangelist Joel Osteen-in order to shed light on ongoing practices and debates among U.S. evangelicals today.

Mediating the Gospel in Contemporary America

Christian Evangelicals and Digital Media

'A richly entertaining history of the ways in which, for 3,000 years, the church has tied itself in knots over sex (and love and marriage) ... fabulous' Observer The Bible observes that God made humanity 'for a while a little lower than the angels'. If humans are that close to angels, does the difference lie in human sexuality and what we do with it? Much of the political contention and division in societies across the world centres on sexual topics, and one-third of the global population is Christian in background or outlook. In a single lifetime, Christianity or historically Christian societies have witnessed one of the most extraordinary about-turns in attitudes to sex and gender in human history. There have followed revolutions in the place of women in society, a new place for same-sex love amid the spectrum of human emotions and a public exploration of gender and trans identity. For many the new situation has brought exciting liberation - for others, fury and fear. This book seeks to calm fears and encourage understanding through telling a 3000-year-long tale of Christians encountering sex, gender and the family, with noises off from their sacred texts. The message of Lower than the Angels is simple, necessary and timely: to pay attention to the sheer glorious complexity and contradictions in the history of Christianity. The reader can decide from the story told here whether there is a single Christian theology of sex, or many contending voices in a symphony that is not at all complete. Oxford's Emeritus Professor of the History of the Church introduces an epic of ordinary and extraordinary Christians trying to make sense of themselves and of humanity's deepest desires, fears and hopes.

Monumenta Serica Monograph Series

European Falconry in Qing China: The Treatise on Falcons (Jincheng yinglun ¿¿¿¿) by Ludovico Buglio S.J. (1606-1682), translated, edited, and introduced by Paolo De Troia, offers a fascinating glimpse into a little-known aspect of Sino-European cultural exchanges in the 17th century.This unique work presents Buglio's Chinese adaptation of selected passages from Ornithologiae, a natural history of birds by Ulysses Aldrovandi (1522-1605), focusing on the breeding, care, and training of falcons for hunting. By choosing falconry, a practice cherished by both European and Chinese (especially Manchu) elites, Buglio used a shared aristocratic tradition as a cultural bridge. His aim was to win the favour of the young Kangxi emperor (1654-1722, r. 1661-1722), a keen falconer himself, and to support the broader Jesuit missionary effort in the Qing empire. Rather than translating Aldrovandi's Latin text word-for-word, Buglio produced a digest in Chinese, adapting the material to resonate with his target audience. The book features an English translation of the Chinese text, with the corresponding Latin source passages provided in footnotes for reference. Richly illustrated and including a facsimile of the original Chinese edition, this volume will appeal to scholars and readers interested in Jesuit missions in China, Qing history, Manchu culture, and the global history of falconry.

The Transformation of Missions in the Twenty-First Century

Frederick G. Klawiter argues that in Ignatius' eucharist, a wine libation symbolized the pouring out of Jesus' blood in his sacrificial death. By drinking from the libation cup in the eucharist/agape meal, Christians sought unity of agape with one another and the crucified, risen Jesus-while anticipating the possibility of martyrdom.

Disgraced is a sweeping religious and cultural history of Protestant sex scandals in nineteenth and twentieth century America. From national scandals to lesser known local sensations, the book investigates how the press attempted to hold religious leaders accountable for their sexual sins, how the public responded to these reports, and how Protestants navigated the ongoing publicity crisis.
