Abstract

This book studies the early history of the Protestant revival movements of the eighteenth century from a European as well as Anglo-American perspective. Professor Ward examines the crisis in the Protestant world beyond that established and protected by the Westphalia treaties, and its impact upon the morale of Protestant communities which enjoyed diplomatic guarantees or other forms of public protection. He traces the widespread outbreak of forms of revival to the emergence of a common Protestant mind, shaped by the appreciation of common problems. The religious effects of widespread emigration produced by persecution, war and distress are traced, and the chronology of the familiar revivals of the West is related to the crises of Eastern revival. The Protestant Evangelical Awakening is based on archival and published resources extending from Eastern Europe to the American colonies, and marks a major contribution to our understanding of the religious history of both continents.

Abstract

What does the future hold for European Christianity? Is the Christian church doomed to collapse under the weight of globalization, Western secularism, and a flood of Muslim immigrants? Is Europe, in short, on the brink of becoming "Eurabia"? Though many pundits are loudly predicting just such a scenario, Philip Jenkins reveals the flaws in these arguments in God's Continent and offers a much more measured assessment of Europe's religious future. While frankly acknowledging current tensions, Jenkins shows, for instance, that the overheated rhetoric about a Muslim-dominated Europe is based on politically convenient myths: that Europe is being imperiled by floods of Muslim immigrants, exploding Muslim birth-rates, and the demise of European Christianity. He points out that by no means are Muslims the only new immigrants in Europe. Christians from Africa, Asia, and Eastern Europe are also pouring into the Western countries, and bringing with them a vibrant and enthusiastic faith that is helping to transform the face of European Christianity. Jenkins agrees that both Christianity and Islam face real difficulties in surviving within Europe's secular culture. But instead of fading away, both have adapted, and are adapting. Yes, the churches are in decline, but there are also clear indications that Christian loyalty and devotion survive, even as institutions crumble. Jenkins sees encouraging signs of continuing Christian devotion in Europe, especially in pilgrimages that attract millions--more in fact than in bygone "ages of faith." The third book in an acclaimed trilogy that includes The Next Christendom and The New Faces of Christianity, God's Continent offers a realistic and historically grounded appraisal of the future of Christianity in a rapidly changing Europe.

Abstract

La colonisation - ses causes, ses effets et ses suites - suscite aujourd'hui de grandes controverses. Curieusement, la place des religions dans ce phénomène d'expansion de l'Occident est souvent occultée ou fort peu connue alors même que celles-ci y jouent un rôle essentiel. Le christianisme, religion des colons européens, s'est-il contenté d'accompagner le sabre des conquêtes et les vaisseaux des marchands? Comment le protestantisme et le catholicisme ont-ils réagi aux violences portées contre les peuples autochtones, à l'expression des différences culturelles et, pour la France, au projet "civilisateur" de la République laïque et anticléricale? Comment enfin les religions des peuples dominés, l'islam, le bouddhisme et les religions ancestrales, ont-elles affronté l'arrivée et l'installation des Occidentaux? Telles sont quelques-unes des questions auquel répond cet ouvrage. Après une mise en perspective historique qui analyse les stratégies respectives des Empires européens à partir du XVIe siècle, ce livre dresse un tableau détaillé des interactions entre colonisation et religions dans différents continents et régions du monde: Maghreb, Afrique subsaharienne, Amériques, Asie, Océanie. II examine également la façon dont les religions se sont positionnées dans le processus de décolonisation amorcé au milieu du XXe siècle. En offrant pour la première fois un panorama aussi large sur cette dimension de la colonisation, complété par des documents et des réflexions sur la transmission scolaire de ces questions, cet ouvrage donne aux enseignants du secondaire, comme au lecteur désireux de mieux comprendre cette période, des outils essentiels pour mieux aborder un moment central de l'histoire contemporaine qui ne cesse de traverser les enjeux de mémoire du présent.
