Ideas on Language in Early Latin Christianity
Author: Tim DeneckerPublisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9004276653
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 513
Book Description
In Ideas on Language in Early Latin Christianity, Tim Denecker investigates, in a comprehensive and systematic way, the views held on the history, diversity and properties of language(s) by Christian Latin authors from Tertullian (b. c.160) to Isidore of Seville (d. 636). This historical period witnessed various sociocultural changes, affecting linguistic situations and the ways in which these were perceived. Christian intellectuals were confronted with languages other than Latin in the context of the propagation of faith, and in reflecting on language were bound to comply with the relevant biblical accounts. Whereas previous research has mostly focused on the (indeed vital) contribution of Augustine, the present study reveals the diversified and dynamic nature of linguistic reflection in early Latin Christianity.

The Rebirth of Latin American Christianity
Author: Todd HartchPublisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0199844593
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 297
Book Description
Predominantly Catholic for centuries, Latin America is still largely Catholic today, but the religious continuity in the region masks great changes that have taken place in the past five decades. In fact, it would be fair to say that Latin American Christianity has been transformed definitively in the years since the Second Vatican Council. Religious change has not been obvious because its transformation has not been the sudden and massive growth of a new religion, as in Africa and Asia. It has been rather a simultaneous revitalization and fragmentation that threatened, awakened, and ultimately brought to a greater maturity a dormant and parochial Christianity. New challenges from modernity, especially in the form of Protestantism and Marxism, ultimately brought forth new life. In The Rebirth of Latin American Christianity, Todd Hartch examines the changes that have swept across Latin America in the last fifty years, and situates them in the context of the growth of Christianity in the global South.

Book Description
Excerpt from History of Latin Christianity, Vol. 4: Including That of the Popes to the Pontificate of Nicolas V I cannot offer the concluding volumes of the History of Latin Christianity without expressing my grateful sense of the kind and liberal manner in which the former portion of the work has been generally received. In these volumes I trust that I have not fallen below my constant aim - calm and rigid impartiality; the fearless exposure of the had, full appreciation of the good, both in the institutions and in the men who have passed before my view. I hope that I may aver with out presumption that my sole object is truth - truth uttered in charity; and where truth has appeared to me unattainable from want of sufficient authorities, or from authorities balanced or contradictory, I have avoided the expression of any positive opinion. I am unwilling to claim the authority of history for that for which there is not historical evidence. I would further remind the reader that if the course of affairs during these ages should appear dark, at times almost to re pulsiveness, still in the dreariest and most gloomy period of Christian history there was always an under current of humble, Christian goodness flowing on, as the Saviour himself came, without observation, the light of which we can discern but by faint and transitory glimpses.
