The last decade has witnessed fundamental shifts in the relationship between religion and politics. In this light, religious symbols, motifs, justifications, and practices are increasingly noticeable in political discourses, as well as agendas, particularly in the Global South, with Pentecostal Christians standing out as salient actors. Performative practices enacted in political contexts such as the anointing of state authorities, prophecies, warfare prayers, etc. have drawn the attention of numerous scholars worldwide. The four surveys contained in this volume account for these developments in Africa, Asia, and Latin America, and synoptically engage with the following question: Can any meaningful nexus connecting multiple and apparently isolated nodes of Pentecostal engagement in the political sphere around the globe be identified? In addition, they do the groundwork for drawing parallels on a global level, on the basis of which new light can be shed on fundamental changes in Pentecostal actorhood and self-understanding. Thus, local developments and ethnographic studies are for the first time reflected upon from a global perspective.

Vencendo o MedoO ser humano sente medo em muitas situaçes de sua vida. As crianças tem medo do escuro, de ficar sozinhas, de sofrer qualquer tipo de mal. Os jovens tem medo de no vencer os estudos, de no vencer na vida, de no serem aceitos pelos seus colegas. Os adultos tambem tem medo: da violencia, do desemprego, da solido e de muitas outras coisas. O medo faz parte da experiencia humana. E nestes dias em que epidemias nos pem em alerta, o medo do que possa nos acontecer faz-nos refletir sobre a fragilidade da nossa condiço humana e sobre o que pode nos trazer segurança e paz.A Biblia Sagrada traz ensinos e conselhos importantes sobre o medo. Ela conta como o medo entrou na historia da humanidade. Ensina tambem como o medo descontrolado pode nos destruir e, por outro lado, como o medo saudavel pode ser algo positivo e construtivo na vida humana. Acima de tudo, a Biblia nos mostra como Deus promete estar ao lado dos que nele confiam, ajudando-os a vencer o medo destrutivo e a enfrentar toda e qualquer situaço."Deus e o nosso refugioe a nossa força,socorro que no faltaem tempos de afliço.O Senhor Todo-Poderosoesta do nosso lado;o Deus de Jaco e o nosso refugio."Salmo 46.1,11

"Ele enxugará dos olhos deles todas as lágrimas."Apocalipse 21.4Nos últimos tempos, o mundo todo foi impactado pela dor da perda e do luto, pelo sofrimento, pela enfermidade, pelo isolamento que cansa o corpo, pela solido que pesa na alma. Quase todos nos, em alguma medida, experimentamos emoçes, sentimentos e medos que nos invadiram, que tomaram o nosso coraço sem pedir licença. Alguns de nos sofremos com o abatimento; outros, lutamos contra a sensaço de desamparo e o medo da solido e da morte.Essas experiencias no so estranhas a ninguem. Por vezes, muitos de nos nos vemos aflitos, diante de situaçes que certamente parecem ser sem saida.Diante de tudo isso, nos perguntamos: como recomeçar? Como nos reinventar e buscar uma maneira de nos reconstruir nesse mundo caotico que passa por profunda transformaço? Como caminhar de acordo com os propositos de Deus para a nossa vida, alicerçados na rocha que e JESUS?Deus, por meio da sua Palavra, quer falar ao nosso coraço nesses dias de mudança e recomeço. O Senhor quer nos mostrar e nos fazer entender que, mesmo que a vida pareça fugir do nosso controle e da nossa perspectiva, ate do controle dele , mesmo que nos sintamos perdidos ou abandonados, ele continua nos amando e permanece conosco.Deus e fiel e esta ao nosso lado em todas as situaçes, ate nas mais dificeis. Podemos contar com o amor e o cuidado de Deus para sempre!O apostolo Paulo expressou essa verdade ao dizer:"Pois eu tenho a certeza de que nada pode nos separar do amor de Deus: nem a morte, nem a vida; nem os anjos, nem outras autoridades ou poderes celestiais; nem o presente, nem o futuro; nem o mundo la de cima, nem o mundo la de baixo. Em todo o Universo no ha nada que possa nos separar do amor de Deus, que e nosso por meio de Cristo Jesus, o nosso Senhor."Romanos 8.38-39Nada tirara de nos esse amor sem medida!Mas se voce e aqueles que voce ama ainda sentem medo, receio ou insegurança, se os dias por vir lhes parecem incertos, queremos ajuda-los a recomeçar da melhor forma: de mos dadas com o Pai, firmes nas verdades imutaveis da sua Palavra.Ao ler o que sera apresentado aqui, medite no amor redentor de Deus, na esperança e no consolo que ele pode trazer para voce e para todos nos.

First published in 1904, "Fetichism in West Africa" (full name: "Fetichism in West Africa: Forty Years Observation of Native Customs and Superstitions") is a book by missionary Reverend Robert Hamill Nassau that is considered one of the earliest studies of traditional religion on West Africa."Fetichism in West Africa" relates the facts which Nassau discovered over the course of many years concerning traditional religions and the practice of sorcery in West Africa and how it related to the everyday lives of the people of that region. John Cinnamon suggests that when Nassau was able to refrain from the constant, invidious comparison between enlightened Christian truth and degraded African wickedness, his observations contain glimmers of ethnographic insight.(Source: wikipedia.org)

First published in 1910, "The Shinto Cult" by Milton Spenser Terry is the substance of a course of lectures on the old Shinto cult which the author has given for a number of years to his classes in Comparative Religion. They are here condensed and adapted to the purpose of a little manual which, it is believed, may interest many readers, and bring together within a small space information gathered from many sources not easily accessible to ordinary students. Originally written as lectures for his comparative religion course, this volume represents Terrys investigation into the Shinto religion to enlighten missionaries, apologetics students, and interested Christians. This concise work includes observations on Christian interactions with Shinto religion and culture, as well as Shintos influences from Buddhism, Confucianism, and recent religious indifference.

First published in 1785, "Reason, the Only Oracle of Man" (AKA "A Compendious System of Natural Religion") is considered the first work critical of Christianity published in the New World, but is also considered a Deist work, and a freethought work as well. Given the fact that there was a limited run and a fire in the print shop where it was created, it is a wonder that it survived.Ethan Allen, known more familiarly as a Revolutionary War hero and for having his name adopted by a furniture company, wrote this work with Dr. Thomas Young, a New York doctor who mentored Allen in philosophy and politics. Young was another Revolutionary War hero, participated in the Boston Tea Party, and was heavily involved with Colonial American politics and the establishment of state borders. Allen founded the Green Mountain Boys initially as a local militia to keep those with territorial claims out of what we know as Vermont today. (Young guided the state name of Vermont, supposedly as a tribute to the Green Mountain Boys.) Allen went on to lead the Green Mountain Boys in the war, and captured Fort Ticonderoga with them.Allen and Young discussed natural philosophy and Deism in the 1760s, and began writing this work around 1765. Several wars later, and territorial disputes mostly concluded, Allen went to Youngs widow (Young died in 1777) and retrieved the manuscript they had written so far. He rewrote some and completed it in 1785, publishing it privately in Bennington, Vermont. 1,500 copies were made, and only 200 were sold. A fire broke out and ruined many of the title. According to some, Haswell, the publisher, believed this a divine intervention, and the rest of the stock was burned. Others have argued it did not sell well, so Haswell decided to rid himself of the rest of the stock. Regardless, the only ones that remain from that first run are the ones that were initially sold.

Nicholas Herman of Lorraine, better known as Brother Lawrence, was born in 1611. He entered the Carmelite Order in Paris as a lay brother at the age of 55. Before that he served as a soldier and a footman. His conversations and letters compilation, "The Practice of the Presence of God", was published a year after his death in 1691. He is remembered in the Christian community as a shining example of total devotion to God."The Practice of the Presence of God", the ultimate collection of conversations and letters of Brother Lawrence, describe his daily habits in developing his relationship with an almighty being, God. Lawrence describes his spiritual journey from the time of his conversion, at eighteen, to just days before his death. He admonishes any person interested in an authentic religious experience to seek God continuously. If one does this, one attains a consistent relationship with God. Attitudes such as selfless love and attention to detail evidence such a relationship.Brother Lawrence sees God as his father, his friend, his judge, and his king, among other things. Each of these personifications of God arises at different points of Lawrences life and spiritual journey. Contrary to spiritual advisors of his time, Lawrence advises devotees to seek God continually and simply, not using repetitive prayers at assigned times only. Secular activities sometimes distract one from ones desired devotion, but years of constant applications and confessions eventually bring one to a place of living in the presence of God.In his letters, Brother Lawrence writes to other members of clergy, advising them and describing for them his daily habits that lead to his personal relationship with God. However, one realizes that Lawrence intends this prescription for people of any lifestyle, not just clergy. To prove this point, he includes instructions to a young solider, who Lawrence advises to seek God for safety. He also admonishes the young soldier to keep his love for people below his love for God.Brother Lawrence lives his life in humility, imploring those to whom he writes never to share his letters. He feels that his level of spiritual attainment lies in waiting for anyone who shows a proper life of devotion in all things.

China is home to two major world religions, Confucianism and Taoism, and also played an important role in the historical development of a third, Northern Buddhism. Eventually, Confucianism became the state religion, and, purged of metaphysical aspects, the dominant Chinese religion until the 20th century. Other religions, including Christianity, Judaism, and Islam, have all had indigenous expressions as well.In "Confucianism and its Rivals", which was originally delivered as one of the Hibbert lectures in 1914, Herbert Allen Giles covers the entire history of Chinese religion. Giles was a British diplomat and an old China hand. He is best known for his role in developing the Wade-Giles system of transliterating Chinese. Giles was the father of Lionel Giles, who was also a distinguished orientalist, and translator of Sun Tzus "Art of War", among others.

The first edition of "A Buddhist Bible", which was tightly focused on source documents of Zen Buddhism, was self-published in Vermont by Dwight Goddard in 1932. "A Buddhist Bible" is a wide selection of readings from Pali, Sanskrit, Chinese, Tibetan, and modern sources intended to provide the reader with a foundation in classical Buddhist thought. It is the first book to bring together the key texts of modern Buddhism.In the last hundred years, the world, especially the West, has increasingly embraced the teachings of Buddhism. A modern Buddhist Bible is the first anthology to bring together the writings from Buddhists, both Eastern and Western, that have redefined Buddhism for our era."A Buddhist Bible" has had a huge influence on the growth of Buddhism in the English-speaking world in the 20th century and beyond.
