The Catholic Charismatic Renewal in the UK
Combining ethnographic research with theological analysis, this book explores how the Catholic Charismatic Renewal (CCR), one of the largest new movements within the global Catholic Church, has developed in contemporary Britain and Northern Ireland. Drawing on extensive fieldwork, this study analyses the beliefs, behaviour, and worldviews of CCR members and considers how these relate to key theological themes in the movement’s unique encounter between Pentecostalism and Catholicism. The author explores the extent to which the CCR has been integrated into the mainstream of the Catholic Church, and how the movement’s members have adapted their theology over time. Painting a picture of a diverse community, this book enriches understanding of the CCR and contemporary Christianity in Britain.
My Brother's Keeper
Ten years ago there were no faith-based units in prisons outside South America. Today, they are spreading all over the world, including the United States, Europe and the Commonwealth. My Brother's Keeper is the first major study of a global phenomenon. Exploring the roots of faith-based units in South America, it explains why the Prison Service of England and Wales set up the first Christian-based unit in the western world in 1997 - and its rapid expansion. It also explains how, at exactly the same time, the United States introduced Christian-based units - and why they were complimented by interfaith and multifaith initiatives. At the heart of My Brother's Keeper is an interior account of li...
The Cursillo Movement in America
The internationally growing Cursillo movement, or "short course in Christianity," founded in 1944 by Spanish Catholic lay practitioners, has become popular among American Catholics and Protestants alike. This lay-led weekend experience helps participants recommit to and live their faith. Emphasizing how American Christians have privileged the individual religious experience and downplayed denominational and theological differences in favor of a common identity as renewed people of faith, Kristy Nabhan-Warren focuses on cursillistas--those who have completed a Cursillo weekend--to show how their experiences are a touchstone for understanding these trends in post-1960s American Christianity. Drawing on extensive ethnographic fieldwork as well as historical research, Nabhan-Warren shows the importance of Latino Catholics in the spread of the Cursillo movement. Cursillistas' stories, she argues, guide us toward a new understanding of contemporary Christian identities, inside and outside U.S. borders, and of the importance of globalizing American religious boundaries.
Más allá de los retos
Leyendo el Evangelio el cristianismo parece sencillo. Sin embargo, leyendo algunos tratados teológicos, parece muy complicado. Los Cursillos de Cristiandad, son una de las mejores –si no la mejor– aproximaciones a hacer realidad la difícil sencillez del Evangelio. Este pequeño libro que tienes en tus manos y que certeramente explica la simplicidad del movimiento de Cursillos, que invita siempre a adoptar la solución evangélica, es un texto firmado por Eduardo Bonnín Aguiló y encontrado entre su ingente legado –en proceso de catalogación–, que custodia la Fundación Eduardo Bonnín Aguiló. Escrito por Eduardo en ocasión de un rollo que fue invitado a dar sobre los retos del Movimiento, este libro transcribe las respuestas sintéticas que en forma de puntualizaciones llevaron luz sobre el mensaje, la finalidad y la mentalidad original del Movimiento de Cursillos. Esta lectura aspira a responder sobre aspectos determinantes de los Cursillos.
Catholic Christian Spirituality for NEW AGE DUMMIES
This book is about Catholic spirituality, which the author christens it as ‘Catholic Christian Spirituality’, which introduces this spirituality to those who dream about knowing it clearly and observing it validly and fruitfully but not fully realized their dream yet. It is a compilation of the Catholic Christian Spirituality’s Scriptural foundations, its historical explications of the Church, its multi-dimensional applications, and its inner and outer dynamics. Definitely the sole difference of this book from others, as the author writes, is the fact that “it is a book written with my red and warm blood as a personal journal of my experiential spirituality as a cradle New Age Cathol...
