Reinventing American Protestantism
Religion
Christianity and Freedom
Volume 2 of Christianity and Freedom illuminates how Christian minorities and transnational Christian networks contribute to the freedom and flourishing of societies across the globe, even amidst pressure and violent persecution. Featuring unprecedented field research by some of the world's most distinguished scholars, it documents the outsized role of Christians in promoting human rights and religious freedom; fighting injustice; stimulating eco…
Life After Genocide
Thousands of orphaned survivors of the 1994 Rwandan Genocide against the Tutsi were not only exposed to extraordinarily severe forms of violence, but also many of these children took on the responsibility of caring and providing for other child survivors. This study describes the poverty, educational attainment, social support and mental health of orphaned heads of household (OHH) fourteen years after the genocide, and analyzes how violence expos…
Narrative characteristics of genocide testimonies predict posttraumatic stress disorder symptoms years later
Cognitive theories of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) suggest that trauma narratives that make greater use of somatosensory, perceptual, and negative emotion words may be indicators of greater risk of PTSD symptoms (Ehlers & Clark, 2000). The purpose of this study was to analyze whether the way that survivors of the 1994 Rwandan Genocide against the Tutsi naturally construct genocide testimonies predicts PTSD symptoms 6 years later. One hund…
Spirit and Power
Pentecostalism is the fastest growing religious movement in the world, currently estimated to have at least 500 million adherents if one also includes charismatic Catholics and Protestants who are part of the renewal movement. Initially, Pentecostal converts were from the lower strata of society and many theorists viewed this form of religion as a compensation for their poverty. The social ecology of Pentecostal Christians is rapidly shifting, in…
Spirit and Power
Pentecostalism is the fastest growing religious movement in the world, currently estimated to have at least 500 million adherents. In the movement's early years, most Pentecostal converts lived in relative poverty, yet the rapidly shifting social ecology of Pentecostal Christians includes many middle-class individuals, as well as an increasing number of young adults attracted by the music and vibrant worship of these churches. The stereotypical v…
Civil Society and Religion
In the past two decades, “civil society” has become a central organizing concept in the social sciences. Occupying the middle ground between the state and private life, the civil sphere encompasses everything from associations to protests to church groups to nongovernmental organizations. Interest in the topic exploded with the decline of statism in the 1980s and 1990s, and many of our current debates about politics and social policy are informed…
To Change the World
The structure of this book is quite simple. Hunter creates a three-part typology of ways in which Christians have attempted to change the world; he then systematically argues for the inadequacy of each strategy; and, finally, he proposes a fourth alternative that he says fits his theory of power and cultural change. To give away the ending of this review, I found his three-fold typology to be useful at a descriptive level, but I was dissatisfied …
Progressive Pentecostalism
The emergence of Pentecostalism, its worldwide spread and its transformation of itself, in many places, into a religion of social engagement is described and analysed
Global Pentecostalism
How and why is Christianity's center of gravity shifting to the developing world? To understand this rapidly growing phenomenon, Donald E. Miller and Tetsunao Yamamori spent four years traveling the globe conducting extensive on-the-ground research in twenty different countries in Africa, Asia, Latin America, and Europe. The result is this vividly detailed book which provides the most comprehensive information available on Pentecostalism, the fas…
SSSR Presidential Address-Progressive Pentecostals
For many scholars it is “old news” that Pentecostalism is growing exponentially, especially in the Southern Hemisphere (Cox 1995; Jenkins 2002; Martin 1990; Stoll 1990). What is not well understood is that many Pentecostal churches—especially in Africa, Asia, and Latin America—are involved in significant social ministries related to education, health care, and economic development. This defies the stereotype that Pentecostals are focused primaril…

Variations in the Diffusion of State Lottery Adoptions
Previous studies of morality policy adoption and diffusion often have failed to define the characteristics of a morality policy that result in certain kinds of politics. For example, studies of lottery diffusion include all lottery adoptions, treating them as possessing characteristics that render their politics similar. In this article we explore the possibility that different types of lotteries generate different types of politics. Although all…

Reinventing American Protestantism
Postdenominational Christianity in the Twenty-First Century
Substantial changes in worship style and organizational structure are transforming the way Christianity will be experienced in the next millennium. The style of Christianity dominated by eighteenth-century hymns, a routinized liturgy, and bureaucratized layers of social organization is gradually dying. In its place are emerging hundreds of new-paradigm churches, which are appropriating stylistic and organizational elements from our postmodern cul…

Experiencing Homelessness
Reinventing American Protestantism
During the past thirty years the American religious landscape has undergone a dramatic change. More and more churches meet in converted warehouses, many have ministers who've never attended a seminary, and congregations are singing songs whose melodies might be heard in bars or nightclubs. Donald E. Miller's provocative examination of these 'new paradigm churches' - sometimes called megachurches or postdenominational churches shows how they are r…

Survivors
Between 1915 and 1923, over one million Armenians died, victims of a genocidal campaign that is still denied by the Turkish government. Thousands of other Armenians suffered torture, brutality, deportation. Yet their story has received scant attention. Through interviews with a hundred elderly Armenians, Donald and Lorna Miller give the "forgotten genocide" the hearing it deserves. Survivors raise important issues about genocide and about how peo…

Questions regarding the Cuny National Survey of Religious Identification
A preliminary version of Research Report: The National Survey of Religious Identification 1989-90, done under aegis of Graduate School and University Center of City University of York, has recently received wide publicity, principally because of reported size of sample. CUNY surveyed 113,000 households by telephone, making this largest survey since last religious census in 1936. The study has received wide publicity, including major articles in Y…
Troeltsch's Critique of Karl Marx
without reducing them positivistically to psychological or economic factors. In short, as Weber and Troeltsch would argue, social action is composed of a cluster of analytically discrete factors, including relatively autonomous systems of value; it does not issue from just one Root Cause. This interpretation of social action is articulated again and again by Troeltsch as he deals with the major social analysts and philosophers of the nineteenth c…
