Why are there so many Christian sects, and what are the prospects for bringing them together? Does Christianity have a future? Am I a Christian? Are you? Christianity: the One, the Many, offers encouraging answers and options for modern spiritual seekers. This second volume focuses on western Christianity from 1000 CE onward. Decline of the medieval church led to the Reformation and emergence of the Lutheran, Calvinist and Anglican Churches. Baptists and Methodists soon followed, and in due course the charismatic movement. The scientific revolution and the Enlightenment challenged Christianity?s very foundations and produced innovative religious forms, like Deism and Transcendentalism. Meanwhile, esoteric Christianity has established itself as a further option. A bold new vision is offered that honors the diversity within Christianity as well as a transcendent, unifying reality, the ?Body of Christ.? Seven spiritual paths are identified which offer all sincere Christians opportunities to express personal and collective aspirations. Archetypal in nature, and cutting across denominational boundaries, they are: Devotion, Ceremony, Knowledge, Service, Healing, Activism and Renunciation. The unifying reality is a larger archetype, the Ekklesia, visualized as a great ?Cathedral? into which all are invited to open themselves to the Divine, love their neighbor, humbly seek truth, and work to make the world a better place. ?A masterpiece of research, insight and faith?? ?A must-read for believers and nonbelievers alike.? ?Now I know there?s a place in Christianity for me??

What is Christianity? Who was Jesus Christ? What relevance does Christianity have in a post-Christian age?Why are there so many Christian sects, and what are the prospects for bringing them together?Does Christianity have a future? Am I a Christian? Are you? The two volumes of Christianity: the One, the Many, offer encouraging answers and options for modern spiritual seekers. This first volume focuses on the life and teachings of Jesus and the evolution of Christianity over its first millennium.The institutional church of the Middle Ages imposed standardized beliefs and practices in place of the spontaneity and pluralism of apostolic times.But standardization was never complete, and alternative religious forms survived.The Gnostic, Celtic, Coptic, and Cathar Churches represent important variants.Finally, in the 11th century, mainstream Christianity split into western and eastern branches. The organizational structure, clerical roles, doctrines and religious practices of the medieval church are studied in some detail, laying groundwork for the examination of western Christianity in Volume 2.The major variants are discussed, as well as the development of the Eastern Orthodox Churches through modern times.The exploration of religious forms that may be less familiar to western readers provides a glimpse into how Christianity as a whole might have developedand directions it could take in the future.Insertion of little-known facts helps bring the historical survey alive. A masterpiece of research, insight and faith A must-read for believers and nonbelievers alike.Now I know theres a place in Christianity for me; EPUB; Politics, Philosphy & Religion > Religion & beliefs > Religion: general > History of religion, Xlibris US<
