Handbook of Denominations in the United States, 14th Edition
Author: Roger E. OlsonPublisher: Abingdon Press
ISBN: 1501822527
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 380
Book Description
The Handbook of Denominations in the United States has long been the gold standard for reference works about religious bodies in America. The purpose of this Handbook is to provide accurate and objective information about the most significant Christian traditions and denominations in the United States today. It contains descriptions of over 200 distinct Christian denominations as well as overviews of the several major Christian traditions to which they belong—based on shared historical and theological roots and commitments. The information for each denomination has been provided by the religious organizations themselves and focuses on the denominations' doctrines, statistics, and histories. The 14th edition is completely updated with current statistics, new denominations, and recent trends. The book has been made more useful and manageable by moving very small groups into broader articles while giving more detail and description to the large and influential denominations.

Author: Faith in the Struggle: Rev. Addie Wyatt and the Fight for Labor, Civil Rights and Women's Rights
Author: Marcia Ann WalkerPublisher:
ISBN: 9781267438461
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 317
Book Description
This dissertation is a biography of Rev. Addie Wyatt, an ordained minister in the Church of God (Anderson, IN), an outspoken feminist, civil rights activist and one of the most influential African American female labor leaders in American history. It is also a social history of twentieth century social movements, the activists and leaders who participated in them, and their ideologies. While historians have largely studied the labor movement, civil rights movement, women's movement, and religious movements in isolation from one another, Addie Wyatt's ability to traverse the boundaries of these movements shows that such an approach is flawed because it belies the rich contributions of a historical figure like Wyatt, whose activism, leadership and ideological contributions spanned movement divides and helped to broaden the scope of such movements by pushing for greater racial, gender and class diversity within them.

Passionate for Justice
Author: Catherine MeeksPublisher: Church Publishing, Inc.
ISBN: 1640651616
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 161
Book Description
"In Passionate for Justice, we find a compass that points us to the future, where we can each give voice and action to justice, equity, and life-giving community. Ida Wells would have had it no other way." —From the Foreword by Stacey Abrams, 2018 Democratic Nominee for Governor of Georgia Ida B. Wells was a powerful churchwoman and witness for justice and equity from 1878 to 1931. Born enslaved, her witness flowed through the struggles for justice in her lifetime, especially in the intersections of African Americans, women, and those who were poor. Her life is a profound witness for faith-based work of visionary power, resistance, and resilience for today’s world, when the forces of injustice stand in opposition to progress. These are exciting and dangerous times. Boundaries that previously seemed impenetrable are now being crossed. This book is a guide for the current state of affairs in American culture, enlivened by the historical perspective of Wells’ search for justice. The authors are an African-American woman and a child of white supremacy. Both have dedicated themselves to working, writing, and developing ministries oriented toward justice, equity, and mercy. This book can be used in all settings, but most especially in churches (pastors and other church leaders, study groups), seminaries, and universities.
