Showing titles in Fundamentalism

Christian Fundamentalism, including the Independent Fundamental Baptists (IFB) presents itself as the last bastion of faithfulness to the Word of God and the teachings of Jesus Christ.

THE LAMBS WORKBOOK shows the reader that being sexually abused as a child (or at least an adolescent) was experienced by at least one of the Old Testament patriarchs. It also shows that Jesus Christ himself has shared in suffering unjustly at the hands of false religious leaders.

This format is an amazing tool and is, in my opinion, Jeri Massi's finest work in her outreach to victims of clergy abuse. The workbook offers valuable lessons and simple instruction for those who ...

Religionen werden maßgeblich durch ihre Medien geprägt – z. B. Judentum, Christentum und Islam von ihren jeweiligen Alphabeten und dem darauf basierenden Denken. Digitalisierung bedeutet daher auch, dass Kirchen und Religionen immer weniger als unabhängige Akteure erscheinen, sondern als Varianten von "Religion" insgesamt wahrgenommen werden. Gegen den Trend zur globalen Vereinheitlichung stemmen sich religiöse Fundamentalisten, die seriöse Wissenschaften, freiheitliche Gesellschaften und andere Religionen bekämpfen.
