This third collection of articles by Henry Chadwick brings together a series of studies on Augustine, written in light of the new texts now available, and on other individual Christian authors of antiquity, in other words of the age when Christianity was acquiring its now familiar shape. A number of papers published here appear in print for the first time, or make accessible to English readers studies which first saw the light in German. These include a substantial discussion of the idea of conscience, important in the highly ethical context of early Christianity, and a study of ancient anthologies, and are complemented by other essays on general themes in the history of the early Church.

Studies Of Religion And Politics In The Early Christian Centuries written by David Luckensmeyer and has been published by this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2010 with Christianity and culture categories.
In this book scholars from Australia, Japan, Korea, Germany, Ireland, and USA focus on aspects of religion and politics in the early Christian centuries. Contributions engage a host of issues pertaining to Jesus studies, early Christianity and Roman authorities, the destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple, the role of early Christian bishops and their politico-religious strategies, the interplay between Christian and Classical or Jewish models of politics, religious policies of emperors, the degree of religious pluralism, and the abuse of power. Perhaps the most relevant of all for our contemporary situation is the attention the authors pay to civil disobedience, violence, and the ideology of martyrdom.

Studies in Christianity, by A. Clutton-Brock, is made up of five illuminating essays on "Christianity and Absolute Values," "The Christian Doctrine of Love," "Christ and the Christian," "The Grace of God" and "The Future of Christianity." They represent the positive beliefs of an independent Christian in an endeavor to differentiate the permanent factors from the passing ones and to lay stress on the fundamental truths which Christ taught, not as his own, but as the word of God. "Only those," says the author, "at whose minds truth has never knocked, or who have never recognized the knocking, suppose that they can express the truth perfectly, or that any past expression of it is perfect." Again he says: "The churches, when they think, are not taken seriously, because they think officially, because they seem to be tied by the leg to certain dogmas however long their tether may be." —The Bookseller, Newsdealer and Stationer, Volume 48

Walls shows how the demographic transformation of the church has brought us to a new "Ephesian moment." The church is challenged as never before to become one global body with its many cultural and ethnic members contributing their gifts. Former patterns of domination need to be superseded. His seer's eyes probe beneath the surface to bring the readerinsights into Pentecostalism, African traditional religion, and the ironic ways in which the Western missionary movement often accomplished things--both for good and for ill--that its agents never dreamed of

Post-Christendom Studies publishes research on the nature of Christian identity and mission in the contexts of post-Christendom. Post-Christendom refers to places, both now and in the past, where Christianity was once a significant cultural presence, though not necessarily the dominant religion. Sometimes “Christendom” refers to the official link between church and state. The term “post-Christendom” is often associated with the rise of secularization, religious pluralism, and multiculturalism in western countries over the past sixty years. Our use of the term is broader than that however. Egypt for example can be considered a post-Christendom context. It was once a leading center of Christianity. “Christendom” moreover does not necessarily mean official public and dominant religion. For example, under Saddam Hussein, Christianity was probably a minority religion, but, for the most part, Christians were left alone. After America deposed Saddam, Christians began to flee because they became a persecuted minority. In that sense, post-Saddam Iraq is an experience of post-Christendom—it is a shift from a cultural context in which Christians have more or less freedom to exercise their faith to one where they are persecuted and/or marginalized for doing so.
