A novel and interdisciplinary perspective on post-war church building In the 1950s and 1960s, thousands of churches were built across Europe in an attempt to keep up with the continent's rapid urbanisation. This book addresses the immense effort related to the planning, financing, and construction of this new religious infrastructure. Going beyond aspects of style and liturgy, and transcending a focus on particular architects or regions, this volume considers church building at the crossroads of pastoral theology, religious sociology, and urban planning. Presenting the rich palette of strategies and methods deployed by congregations, dioceses, government bodies, and private patrons in their attempt to secure a religious presence in the rapidly modernising world, Territories of Faith offers a broad view of the practice of religion and its material expression in the fast-evolving (sub)urban landscapes of post-war Europe.

The conflict between science and religion seems indelible, even eternal. Surely two such divergent views of the universe have always been in fierce opposition? Actually, that’s not the case, says Peter Harrison: our very concepts of science and religion are relatively recent, emerging only in the past three hundred years, and it is those very categories, rather than their underlying concepts, that constrain our understanding of how the formal study of nature relates to the religious life. In The Territories of Science and Religion, Harrison dismantles what we think we know about the two categories, then puts it all back together again in a provocative, productive new way. By tracing the history of these concepts for the first time in parallel, he illuminates alternative boundaries and little-known relations between them—thereby making it possible for us to learn from their true history, and see other possible ways that scientific study and the religious life might relate to, influence, and mutually enrich each other. A tour de force by a distinguished scholar working at the height of his powers, The Territories of Science and Religion promises to forever alter the way we think about these fundamental pillars of human life and experience.

Is God still doing miracles today? "This book tells the story of how God is still working miracles. It's a miniature modern version of the Israelites escape from Egypt which declares that rescue is still happening!" --Warren Otter, retired pastor of United Methodist Church "We are blessed to know firsthand the heart, love, faith, and compassion of Joseph and Ana Chimbanda. God blessed them in their time of need, and they have never stopped giving back. This book is about miracles and never giving up, a must read." --Tom and Linda Davies, Members of Noblesville First United Methodist Church "Knowing Ana and Joseph Chimbanda and working with them in the United Methodist Church in the Denver metro, I was inspired by their exuberant work of expanding the mission work in our area." --Karen Bueno, retired teacher "The Chimbanda's narrative describes struggles, despair, and other life challenges. Yet though it all their solace was through their faith in Jesus Christ who brought love for all and hope into their hearts so they could conquer every hurtle and make a difference in the lives of all they touched." --W. Michael Ainley, Ph.D.

God has given each one of us a calling, and Jesus and the Word are essential to living by it. He Leadeth Me uses personal stories and studied Scriptures to show how through God's mercy, power, and truth, you can find the strongest faith in the fiercest storms. He Leadeth Me is a raw and honest look into Michael Clayton's own forty-two years of faith. Through glimpses into his life's journey--from running track in school, to serving in Iraq and Afghanistan, to homeschooling five children, to battling cancer--Clayton shows what it is to trust in the Lord. Whether you're coming home from war, raising a family, or rediscovering faith, it's not going to be easy or without risk. But God has given each one of us a purpose in life, and Jesus and the Word are essential to living by it.

An updated edition of the moving and beloved memoir by the author of Where Goodness Still Grows. Right after college, Amy Peterson boarded a plane for Southeast Asia. She was hungry for adventure, eager to change the world, hoping to please God, and wondering if what she'd grown up believing would remain true on the other side of the world. As Amy immerses herself in the local culture and forges friendships across boundaries, her worldview expands. Then crisis hits. In Dangerous Territory, Amy works through the many questions that arise from the collision of her evangelical upbringing with her cross-cultural experience. With vulnerability and insight, she reflects on the pain of losing everything she thought she knew, and what it truly means to be loved by God. Part travelogue, part coming-of-age, and part love story, Amy's beautifully crafted memoir will resonate with anyone seeking a more authentic, deeply felt faith.

As religious violence flares around the world, we are confronted with an acute dilemma: Can people coexist in peace when their basic beliefs are irreconcilable? Benjamin Kaplan responds by taking us back to early modern Europe, when the issue of religious toleration was no less pressing than it is today. Divided by Faith begins in the wake of the Protestant Reformation, when the unity of western Christendom was shattered, and takes us on a panoramic tour of Europe's religious landscape--and its deep fault lines--over the next three centuries. Kaplan's grand canvas reveals the patterns of conflict and toleration among Christians, Jews, and Muslims across the continent, from the British Isles to Poland. It lays bare the complex realities of day-to-day interactions and calls into question the received wisdom that toleration underwent an evolutionary rise as Europe grew more "enlightened." We are given vivid examples of the improvised arrangements that made peaceful coexistence possible, and shown how common folk contributed to toleration as significantly as did intellectuals and rulers. Bloodshed was prevented not by the high ideals of tolerance and individual rights upheld today, but by the pragmatism, charity, and social ties that continued to bind people divided by faith. Divided by Faith is both history from the bottom up and a much-needed challenge to our belief in the triumph of reason over faith. This compelling story reveals that toleration has taken many guises in the past and suggests that it may well do the same in the future.

Our understanding of human rationality has changed significantly since the beginning of the century, with growing emphasis being placed on multiple rationalities, each adapted to the specific tasks of communities of practice. We may think of the world as an ontological unity-but we use a plurality of methods to investigate and represent this world. This development has called into question both the appeal to a universal rationality, characteristic of the Enlightenment, and also the simple 'modern-postmodern' binary. The Territories of Human Reason is the first major study to explore the emergence of multiple situated rationalities. It focuses on the relation of the natural sciences and Christian theology, but its approach can easily be extended to other disciplines. It provides a robust intellectual framework for discussion of transdisciplinarity, which has become a major theme in many parts of the academic world. Alister E. McGrath offers a major reappraisal of what it means to be 'rational' which will have significant impact on older discussions of this theme. He sets out to explore the consequences of the seemingly inexorable move away from the notion of a single universal rationality towards a plurality of cultural and domain-specific methodologies and rationalities. What does this mean for the natural sciences? For the philosophy of science? For Christian theology? And for the interdisciplinary field of science and religion? How can a single individual hold together scientific and religious ideas, when these arise from quite different rational approaches? This ground-breaking volume sets out to engage these questions and will provoke intense discussion and debate.
