1. Verner Moore , White

Ritualism And New Testament Christianity

""Ritualism and New Testament Christianity"" is a book written by Verner Moore White in 1867. The book explores the debate over the Church of England's Protestant or Popish nature, focusing on the rise of ritualism in the church. White argues that the church's adoption of Catholic practices, such as the use of vestments and the elevation of the Eucharist, is a departure from the teachings of the New Testament and the Protestant Reformation. The author also examines the question of who the real dissenters are within the church, arguing that those who adhere to the traditional Protestant beliefs and practices are the true apostolic churchmen. White's book is a passionate defense of Protestantism and a critique of the growing influence of Catholicism within the Church of England. Overall, ""Ritualism and New Testament Christianity"" provides a historical perspective on the ongoing debate over the nature of the Church of England and its relationship to the broader Protestant tradition. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Christianity in England and the ongoing tension between Catholic and Protestant beliefs and practices.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Peace on Earth

Academic peace study programs frequently ignore religion as a partner in pursuit of conflict resolution. These 24 essays advocate religion as a vital, if partial, participant in any serious pursuit of lasting peace. Religion's absence in peace studies--and peacemaking--is a crippling lack. Contributors to this volume present casebook studies of religious groups involved in recent conflict resolution--successes and failures alike. Brief but nuanced accounts of several religious traditions, with their ambivalent histories of war and peace efforts, are excellent summaries of those traditions, and also show how they have fallen short of their ideals. Some religious groups, only rarely at the table, present the unique witness they have maintained, often in the face of persecution or marginalization because of their relative size or beliefs and practices at odds with dominant religions. The essay on military chaplains stands out, as it discusses going beyond the unarmed morale officer for war-weary troops, to becoming a middle-range actor in affirming that those outside the military unit are not 'other.' The essays demonstrate in diverse ways that religion can be the source of conflict, but also a source of peace building, tolerance, and peaceful coexistence. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates and above; general readers.

Locke on Toleration

"....This slim volume in the Cambridge Texts in the History of Philosophy series brings together Locke's mature writings on toleration.... Richard Vernon has written an excellent introduction, which helps the reader identify the main set of arguments in the first Letter and through the evolution of the debate.... Most importantly, Vernon provides a useful analysis of the link between Locke's toleration and social contract theory (in particular a crucial passage in the Third Letter encapsulating the core argument of the Second Treatise), and demonstrates the profound anti-paternalism of Locke's theory of state authority.... This volume will be essential to students of the history of toleration but also for those studying contemporary issues regarding prerequisites of a pluralist society, such as the nature of public reason and background political culture. It provides a close look into elements of the emergence of consequentialist and deontological arguments for liberal rights. More broadly, it also offers one of the most important examples of normative transformation at the grand rhetorical level and in the intricacies of conceptual combat." --Ingrid Creppell, George Washington University, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews
