Buddhism Under the T'Ang

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Weinstein, Stanley, PUBLISHER: Cambridge University Press, Buddhism Under the Tang is a history of the Buddhist Church during the T'ang dynasty (), when Buddhist thought reached the pinnacle of its development. The three centuries spanned by the T'ang saw the formation of such important philosophical schools as the Fa-hsiang and Hua-yen, the consolidation of the T'ien-t'ai school, the introduction of Esoteric Buddhism from India, and the emergence of the Pure Land and Chan schools as the predominant expressions of Buddhist faith and practice.

The main focus is on the constantly changing relationship between the Buddhist Church and the T'ang state. Among the topics discussed in detail are the various attempts to curb the power of the Buddhist monasteries, the governance of the Buddhist clergy, the use of Buddhism to promote secular political ends, and the violent suppression of Buddhism by Emperor Wu () and its formal restoration under the last T'ang emperor.

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Campbell, James T., PUBLISHER: Oxford University Press, USA, Songs of Zion focuses on the African Methodist Episcopal Church, black America's oldest and largest independent church.

The final third of the book is devoted to what Campbell calls "middle passages," to the careers of men and women who moved between South Africa and the United States in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Throughout the book, Campbell focuses on the comparisons that Africans and African Americans themselves drew between their situations, arguing that the transatlantic encounter enabled both groups to understand and act upon their worlds in new ways.

The Greek & Latin Doctors

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Wand, J. W., PUBLISHER: Wyndham Hall Press, Today, when not only the Anglican Communion specifically but the Church Catholic generally seem in such desperate need of historical moorings for meaningful and productive theological discussions, it seems nothing less than fitting that this classic treatise on the Doctors of the church be brought back into general circulation in order that all those who truly wish to be accurately informed about the origins of the Church's great thoughts might have that opportunity. Today's tragedy in too many theological discussions is two-fold -- the consistent absence of a deep appreciation and understanding of the historical roots of our faith, and the general presumption that the present experience of the Church should automatically be valued more highly than the past experience of the Church. If this little classic does nothing more than contribute to the re-education of the Church Today about the origin and value of the Church Yesterday, then the effort will have been well worthwhile.

The Subversive Role of Visions in Early Christian Martyrs

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Maldonado Perez, Zaida / P. Rez, Zaida Maldonado, PUBLISHER: Emeth Press, During the persecution of the early church, the stories of the witness of the martyrs-later known as the Acts of the Martyrs--became a critical part of the church's reading and devotional material. Why? This book argues that the reading of the Acts, and especially their visions, did more than just encourage the persecuted church; they reveal a nuanced view of God, the world, power, and powerlessness, death and life that at times subverts what may have been construed as normal or dominant by either church or the Greco-Roman society. This nuanced view may in fact reflect an underlying grass-roots or "popular theology" not readily available to the reader through other early church literature.

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Firmage, Edwin Brown / Mangrum, R.

This first paperback edition includes two new introductory pieces in which the authors discuss the Mormon emphasis on settling disputes outside the court, a practice that foreshadows current trends toward arbitration and mediation.
