  • Buddhist Missionaries in the Era of Globalization

    Stuart Chandler, Peter B Clarke et al.BOOKBuddhist Missionaries in the Era…2017

    This insightful volume dispels the common notion that Buddhism is not a missionary religion by revealing Asian Buddhists as active agents in the propagation of their faith. It presents at the same time a new framework with which to study missionary activity in both Buddhist and other religious traditions. Included are case studies of Theravada, Chinese, and Tibetan Buddhist teachers and congregations, as well as the Pure Land, Shingon, Zen, and S…

In order to become global movements, NRMs must often depend heavily on one particular ethnic group as they expand beyond…

  • Primitive Religion

    Open AccessPeter B ClarkeOTHERThe Blackwell Encyclopedia of…2007Referencias: 3

    The evolutionary character of theories of primitive religion is present in the sociological literature from the beginning. It is evident, for example, in the writings of the so‐called founding father of sociology, Auguste Comte (1798–1857), who believed that religion originated in fetishism or the worship of inanimate things, then developed into polytheism which in turn developed into monotheism (Comte 1853). The view that religion evolved from p…

  • Top‐star’ priests and the catholic response to the ‘explosion’ of evangelical protestantism in brazil

    Peter B ClarkeARTICLEJournal of Contemporary Religion1999Citada por: 2Referencias: 2

    Brazil's ‘new’ style of Catholicism, essentially the creation of a group of young, charismatic clergy—'pop‐star priests’ or ‘stars of the altar’, as they have become known—appears to have set in train a reversal, in that Latin American country at least, of the ‘walkout’ to evangelical Protestantism that David Martin analysed in Tongues of Fire: The Explosion of Pentecostalism in Latin America (1990). In that volume Martin described the rapid deve…
