Abstract

The nineteenth century witnessed a flurry of evangelical and missionary activity in Europe and North America. This was an era of renewed piety and intense zeal spanning denominations and countries. One area of Protestant flourishing in this period has received scant attention in Anglophone sources, however: the French Rveil. Born of a rich Huguenot heritage but aimed at recovering the religion of the heart, this awakening gave birth to a dynamic missionary movement--and some of its chief agents were women.In Birthing Revival, Michle Sigg sheds light on the seminal role French Protestant women played in launching and sustaining this movement of revival and mission. Out of the concerted efforts of these women arose a holistic mission strategy encompassing the home front and the foreign field. Parisian women, led by milie Mallet, established schools to provide infants with food, safety, and religious education. Mallet and her friend Albertine de Broglie led the women's auxiliary of the Paris Bible Society to design and carry out a strategy for large-scale Bible distribution and fundraising. In 1825 de Broglie pioneered the women's committee of the Paris Evangelical Mission Society, which used the Bible Society model to promote international missions across their many networks. In meetings, publications, and reports to the annual General Assembly, the women reflected on their calling in the work of mission and fully embraced their identity as "true missionaries."The success of women teachers and their presence as wives and mothers in the Lesotho Mission--exemplified by pioneering missionary wife Elizabeth Lyndall Rolland--proved that married couples serving together as models of Christian living were essential in opening the doors to missionary work in Africa. The story, and these women's legacies, does not end in the field, however. Sigg demonstrates how the educational work of the missionary wives and their publications that shared good news of growing faith in Lesotho sparked local revivals in France. When the enthusiasm of the Rveil waned in the metropole and divisions mounted among Protestants, a movement of deaconesses emerged to renew the faith of French Protestants.

Abstract

Zur Fachsprache der protestantischen Theologie liegen nur wenige wissenschaftliche Studien vor. Diesem Mangel soll mit der vorliegenden Publikation begegnet werden, indem ein Überblick über Haupttendenzen der protestantisch-theologischen Fachsprache vom 19. bis 21. Jahrhundert aus germanistisch-linguistischer Perspektive präsentiert wird. Im Mittelpunkt steht die Frage, welche Rolle rein sprachliche Elemente bei der Vermittlung theologischer Diskurse spielen. Eine zentrale Rolle spielt das Phänomen einer über das Inhaltliche hinausgehenden sprachgestalterischen Komponente, die für die theologische Fachsprache wesentlich ist. Ermittelt wird in der Untersuchung, ob die protestantisch-theologische Wissenschaftssprache besonders anfällig für ideologische Entstellung und inhaltliche Vagheit ist und inwieweit die in politisch-historischen Kontexten variierenden fachbegrifflichen Konnotationen der Vereinnahmung durch externe Einflüsse ausgesetzt waren und sind. Die Monografie leistet einen Beitrag zur germanistischen Fachsprachenforschung im Bereich der Humanwissenschaften, ist aber auch für Theologen im Hinblick auf die linguistische Seite ihrer Wissenschaftssprache von Interesse. This publication provides a diachronic overview of the main tendencies in Protestant theological jargon and academic language from the nineteenth to twenty-first centuries from a Germanist-linguistic perspective. Using analyses of special linguistic features in the works of representative authors and in predominant academic currents, it thoroughly illuminates the role of linguistic phenomena in Protestant theological jargon.

Abstract

"Combining sociological, historical and comparative approaches, this book examines one of the most striking aspects of South Korea, specifically the emergence of Protestant Christianity as the largest contemporary religion in the country. What is extraordinary about the religion's "success" is that its growth has been achieved in 130 years since 1884 and that it took place in a country with a rich oriental tradition, replete with shamanism, Taoism, Buddhism and Confucianism. The text critically demonstrates the socio-anthropological perceptive of the Korean Peninsula, making it a great resource for scholars and students of sociology, contemporary culture, history, religion, colonialism, and geopolitics." --

Abstract

American Protestantism has been the dominant form of Christianity in United States since the colonial era and has had a profound impact on American society. Understanding this religious tradition is, thus, crucial to understanding American culture. This Companion offers a comprehensive overview of American Protestantism. It considers all its major streams-Anglican, Reformed, Lutheran, Anabaptist, Baptist, Stone-Campbell, Methodist, Holiness, and Pentecostal. Written from various disciplinary perspectives, including history, theology, liturgics, and religious studies, it explores the beliefs and practices around which American Protestant life has revolved. The volume also provides a chronological overview of the tradition's entire history, addresses its prominent theological and sociological features, and explores its numerous intersections with American culture. Aimed at undergraduate and graduate students, as well as an interested general audience, this Companion will be useful both for insiders and outsiders to the American Protestant tradition.
