Though Malawi in general, and the areas described in this book, are predominantly Christian, traditional religion is still an important reality, beside and within Christianity in Malawi. Matthew Schoffeleers, a Montfortian missionary priest and social anthropologist, addresses here aspects of African tradition religion, with a particular focus on spirit possesion. Both in its individual importance and in its territorial importance. Of the six papers collected in the book two deal with rain cults, which for centuries have played a central role in the political and religious life of Malawi, two with territorial spirit mediumship and two with cults of affliction.

A Loving God - God in Human Life - Human Potential - Suicide & Despair - Heaven & Hell - Spiritual Renewal - The Future of the Church - The Destiny of the Human Family In 1937, minister and historian Rev. Hugh Cowan reflects at the end of four decades of ministry on the some of the big ideas of the Christian faith. He recounts some of the changes he has observed in Christian thought in the first half of the 20th Century. In this book, Cowan explores the realities of life and death as experienced with his congregations. Many of the challenges he discusses are just as relevant today. "This world's a stage, a poet once sung, and on it each man must act his part. Another poet has said, "Change and decay in all around I see." Two poets, one sees in human life a great drama, and every member of the human family performing a part in that drama; the other sees in human life, change and death. In the great drama of human life, the producer of the drama is God; the Lord Jesus supplies to the stage its light; while the Spirit of God is the One who trains and disciplines and practises the actors so that each may do their part wisely and well, even perfectly. The members of the human family, the actors on the stage, some do their part wisely and well, never perfectly; some do their part not so wisely and not so well; others do not do their part at all; while still others are out in rebellion to destroy the good influence and effect of the drama, if they can." Reverend Hugh Cowan (1867-1943) graduated from Manitoba College, earned a M.A. from Knox College in Toronto and a B.D. from Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario. He served congregations in The Presbyterian Church of Canada and later The United Church of Canada. Cowan's writings include local histories in Ontario, an historical adventure novel and this book on the progress of Christianity. http: //en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hugh_Cowan Introduction by Grant D.

You probably know him for preaching the sermon “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God”—but Jonathan Edwards had much more to say about the Christian life. The central figure in New England’s first Great Awakening, Edwards offers a detailed description of the signs—true and false—of conversion, while highlighting the role truly balanced emotions play within the Christian life. He takes a long, hard look at the evidence of true saving faith—the fruit that comes from living like Christ. This newly-typeset edition of Religious Affections is updated and abridged for ease of reading.

Judaism has long derived its identity from its sacred books. The book or scroll--rather than the image or idol--has been emblematic of Jewish faith and tradition. The People of the Book presents a study of a group of Orthodox Jews, all of whom live in the modern world, engaged in the time-honored practice of lernen, the repeated review and ritualized study of the sacred texts. In preserving one of the activities of Jewish life, Samuel C. Heilman argues, these are the genuine -People of the Book.- For two years, Heilman participated in and observed five study circles in New York and Jerusalem engaged in the avocation of lernen the Talmud, the great corpus of Jewish law, lore, and tradition. These groups, made up of men who felt the ritualized study of sacred texts to be not only a religious obligation but also an appealing way to spend their evenings, weekends, and holidays, assembled together under the guidance of a teacher to review the holy books of their people. Having become part of this world, the author is able to provide first-hand observation of the workings of the study circle. Heilman's study moves beyond the merely descriptive into an analysis of the nature and meaning of activity he observed. To explain the character and appeal of the study groups, he employs three concepts: drama, fellowship, and religion. Inherent to the life of the study circle are various sorts of drama: -social dramas- playing out social relationships, -cultural performances- reenacting the Jewish world view, and -interactional dramas- and -word plays- involving the intricacies of the recitation and translation process. This book will be of interest to anthropologists and those interested in the academic study of religion.

This book discusses the ways in which early modern hagiographic sources can be used to study lived religion and everyday life from the fifteenth to the seventeenth century. For several decades, saints’ lives, other spiritual biographies, miracle narratives, canonisation processes, iconography, and dramas, have been widely utilised in studies on medieval religious practices and social history. This fruitful material has however been overlooked in studies of the early modern period, despite the fact that it witnessed an unprecedented growth in the volume of hagiographic material. The contributors to this volume address this, and illuminate how early modern hagiographic material can be used for the study of topics such as religious life, the social history of medicine, survival strategies, domestic violence, and the religious experience of slaves.

SCRIPTURE BROUGHT TO LIFE Can drama play a starring role in revitalizing the church and helping people to see the relevance of Scripture to their lives in the twenty-first century? Dr. Wanda Vassallo shouts a resounding "yes!" Her firm response is based on many years of directing drama in the church and is backed by her scientifically-conducted research on the subject. This book explores God's origin of dramatic approaches in communicating with humans. This is followed by examples of the way the prophets and Jesus continued this method during His earthly ministry and the dramatic approaches used in Jewish and Christian worship through the centuries. Also covered are the beginning of world drama and the importance of avoiding the mistakes that were made when drama began to be used in the church. Careful description is given of 11 genres of drama-everything from the full-length production to a "dramatic moment." She explains how to work each one seamlessly into a church service or related venue, such as a seminar. A sample script of each genre is provided. Examples of the impact of drama on members of the congregation and on the lives of those who participate in the productions are cited. The last chapter is devoted to the results of Wanda's dissertation study and other related studies on the subject.
