Aqui se buscou compreender os pontos de vista vigentes nos meios protestantes e no seio do movimento missionário no inicio do século XX. Procurou-se fazer isso através de fontes primárias, produzidas por Erasmo Braga e pelas comissões relatoras do Congresso da Ação Cristã na América Latina, o Congresso do Panamá e da leitura de obras acerca da história do movimento missionário protestante, da historia do protestantismo, do movimento de cooperação, das teologias em desenvolvimento no século XX, de obras biográficas sobre Erasmo Braga, bem como obras de história geral, do Brasil e dos Estados Unidos. Nossa intenção foi estabelecer as relações entre o movimento religioso, as questões sociais, econômicas, históricas em andamento à época e compreender as influências de todas essas questões no movimento missionário e a reação deste e de Erasmo Braga às variáveis levantadas. / The present work intends to collaborate for the enrichment of the discussion on religion and it’s relations with the various aspects of social life. Here we sought to understand the points of view prevailing in Protestant circles and within the missionary movement in the early twentieth century. We sought to do this through primary sources produced by Erasmo Braga and by the committees of the Congress on Christian Work in Latin America, the Congress of Panama (1916) and also by reading works about the history of the Protestant missionary movement, the history of Protestantism, the cooperative movement, the theologies being developed in the twentieth century, biographical works about Erasmo Braga, as well as works of Brazilian and the United States general histories. Our intention was to establish the relationship between the religious movement, the social, economic and historical issues in progress at the time, and to understand this issues influence over the missionary movement and the reactions of this movement and of Erasmo Braga to the raised variables.

To that end it has as its special object of study the musical repertoire of the pentecostal communities, evaluating the internal evolution of that which is sung in the worship services and other meetings. Music is the principal means by which the behavior of the faithful is moulded. Since it is a product derived from the surrounding culture, and so not completely controlled by the composer, pentecostal hymnology both reflects and inculcates symbols which direct the universe which its followers inhabit. Gilbert Durand's book, The Theory of the Imaginary, provides the hermeneutical basis for our interpretation of the symbolic as present in the hymn-books both of classic pentecostalism and of post-pentecostalism, and we apply Durand's methodology to the images present in the pentecostal hymns. As to its epistemology, this study is both transdisciplinary and comprehensive, as well as taking into account current sociological trends present in what is known as post-modernity / O presente trabalho procura investigar as rupturas e continuidades na teologia, mentalidade e visão de mundo dos pentecostais brasileiros.Para isso, assume como objeto privilegiado de investigação o repertório musical das comunidades pentecostais, contemplando as evoluções internas daquilo que é cantado em seus cultos e reuniões. A música é o vetor principal na modelagem do comportamento dos fiéis. Sendo produto derivado do ambiente cultural, portanto não completamente controlado pelo compositor, a hinologia pentecostal tanto reflete quanto incute símbolos que irão orientar o universo habitado pelos adeptos de uma crença.Toma a Teoria do Imaginário (Gilbert Durand) como mediador hermenêutico da leitura simbólica do cancioneiro pentecostal clássico e pós-pentecostal, empregando sua metodologia às imagens existentes nas canções pentecostais. O estudo se vale de uma epistemologia que prima pela compreensividade denominada Transdisciplinariedade. Outra importante filiação conceitual deste trabalho é á corrente sociológica que caracteriza o tempo presente como pós-modernidade

La conférence de Berlin de 1884 a posé les jalons des relations religions-États en Afrique centrale en instituant la « mission civilisatrice ». Dans cette région, les relations religions-États ont toujours été ambigües. Suivant les périodes, il y a eu collaboration, soutien mutuel, coexistence, ignorance réciproque, oppositions et même persécutions. Les relations entre les missions religieuses et l’administration coloniale, puis entre l’Église catholique et les jeunes États indépendants, furent une parfaite illustration.La « vague » de démocratisation de la décennie 1990 a permis l’adoption de nouvelles lois fondamentales calquées toutes sur le texte constitutionnel français de 1958 que les constituants d’Afrique centrale ont pris pour modèle. Les nouvelles constitutions ont ainsi introduit un nouveau principe, celui de la laïcité de l’État, dans le même esprit du constituant français de 1946 et 1958. Le processus démocratique a également permis un pluralisme aussi bien politique que religieux. Sur le plan religieux, la consécration de la liberté religieuse a favorisé l’implantation des églises évangéliques qui connaissent, depuis, une diffusion rapide.La question des relations entre les Églises évangéliques et les États dans cette région d’Afrique prend aujourd’hui une importance croissante, du fait du succès grandissant de ce nouveau mouvement religieux et de sa proximité avec les pouvoirs politiques. Il y a là une situation nouvelle, récente, en mutation rapide et qui remet en question bien des situations politiques, institutionnelles, juridiques et sociales. Sur le plan juridique, l’échec du modèle de laïcité-séparation confronté à la forte religiosité qui caractérise les sociétés africaines, appelle à une nécessité de faire une large part à la coutume africaine dans la conception des textes juridiques, ce qui permettrait la construction d’une nouvelle laïcité « africaine ». / The Berlin Conference of 1884 laid the foundations for relationship between religions and states in Central Africa by instituting the "civilizing mission". In this region, those relationships have always been ambiguous. According to the periods, there was collaboration, mutual support, coexistence, mutual ignorance, oppositions and even persecutions. The relationship between religious missions and the colonial administration and between the Catholic Church and the young independent nations, were a perfect illustration. The “wave” of democratization of the 90’s allowed the adoption of new fundamentals laws similar with the French constitution of 1958 took as a model. The new central African constitutions introduced a new principle, the secularism of state, in the same spirit of the French constitutions of 1946 and 1958. The democratic process also allowed pluralism both political and religious. About religious field, the consecration of religious freedom has promoted the implantation of evangelical movement which has then, knew a rapid growth. The issue of relationships between Evangelical Churches and States in this region of Africa is becoming increasingly important, because of the growing success of this new religious movement and its proximity with political powers. This is a new, recent, rapidly changing situation that challenges many political, institutional, legal and social situations. At the legal level, the failure of the secular model adopted call for a need to make a large part of African custom in the conception of legal texts, which would then allow the construction of a new "African" secularism.

Thesis (Ph.D.)--Boston University / The purpose of this dissertation is to compare family and educational values and practices of the Hutterite Brethren during the Reformation era with those of the main-stream of German-speaking Protestantism. Family and educational concepts and developments and the progress of elementary-vernacular education within both magisterial Protestantism and evangelical Anabaptism are described and their similarities and differences made clear. The Hutterites, who with the Mennonites constitute the two major groups of evangelical Anabaptism, are given particular attention since only they withdrew from the world to live in closed communistic societies. Within these communities they exhibited certain differences in their pattern of life from that of their contemporaries. [TRUNCATED]

Detta arbete är en forskningsöversikt som redogör för forskning om hur kristendom påverkar främst den svenska skolan och dess elever. Forskningen är analyserad utifrån frågeställningarna Hur påverkar kristendom skolans värdegrund och elevens identitetsskapande? samt Hur förhåller sig elever, med eller utan religiösa och kulturella föreställningar eller bakgrunder, till ett samhälle med en majoritetsreligion och -kultur? Forskningen vi använt oss av har vi sökt fram främst via sökmotorerna Ebsco, Eric och Swepub. Utifrån källorna vi använt oss av kunde vi se att skolan, dess läroplaner och elevernas identitetsskapande påverkas av kristendom i stor mån. Vi såg även att Sveriges kulturella kristendom och sekularism var två drag som ibland gick hand i hand medan de ibland sågs som motsatser. Något återkommande i flertalet av artiklarna och avhandlingarna vi läst är att muslimer och islam framställs som problematiska i många scenarion.

Dans cette étude nous proposons un parallèle entre le Brésil et la France, avec un focus sur les différences et ressemblances des enjeux au sein des deux sociétés, en ce qui concerne l’action sociale et ses formes d’expression dans le champ religieux. Cette question sera illustrée par l’étude des activités développées au sein de l’organisation missionnaire de tendance évangélique charismatique Youth With a Mission (YWAM), crée en 1960 par Loren Cunningham aux États-Unis et implantée dans les deux pays. Au travers d’un ensemble d’entretiens et d’une enquête comparative observant les dynamiques personnelles des missionnaires et les actions prosélytes parachurch, l’objectif est de comprendre la situation dans laquelle ces pays se trouvent aujourd’hui en fonction des stratégies prosélytistes intégrées au travail social. Nous nous sommes concentré sur l’analyse du rôle des acteurs évangéliques de YWAM, en tant qu’acteurs associatifs et partenaires dans le domaine de l’action sociale au sein d’États dans lesquels l’État Providence et la conception de la laïcité différent. Nous démontrerons que le choix de la politique sociale appliquée et les éléments qui ressortent de ce système sur les résultats pratiques du cadre de vie des populations des deux pays jouent un rôle sur la manière dont s’exprime la religion et se comportent ses membres, comme dans les moyens d’évangélisation et d’entraide. Dans cette dynamique, nous verrons les implications des actions menées par l’organisation, les effets produits par une « collaboration » entre le religieux et la sphère sociale, et sa rencontre avec la logique des dispositifs juridico-administratifs français et brésilien. Nous explorerons quelques pistes sur les nouvelles formes de sociabilité qui se sont présentées en termes religieux, de manières d’agir et de communiquer. Au-delà du domaine socio-politique, la thèse s’intéresse aussi à la compréhension de l’insertion des jeunes dans les institutions religieuses en tant que professionnels de la foi, quittant un style de vie ordinaire pour un engagement religieux. Notre objectif est de comprendre qui sont ces jeunes, leurs historiques familiaux, leur trajectoires personnelles et comment cette nouvelle vie est perçue et vécue à travers leurs motivations. / This research presents a comparative study of aspects of social action and forms of expression within the religious field within Brazil and France. The study focuses on the activities of Youth With a Mission (YWAM), an evangelical charismatic missionary organisation founded in the United States by Loren Cunningham in 1960 and now present in both France and Brazil. Through interviews and comparative observations of the interpersonal dynamics and parachurch proselytizing actions of the missionaries, the aim of the study is to understand the relative impact of the country contexts on the proselytizing strategies of the organisation within its social work. We also analyse the role of the YWAM as social actors and state partners in the social sector, comparing the differing country context of secularism and the welfare state. In this analysis, we consider the issue of public-private collaboration produced by the convergence between YWAM's actions and the distinct legal-administrative contexts in Brazil and France. How do these convergences create innovative forms of social interactions, in terms of religion, social action, and communication? Beyond the socio-political domain, this thesis aims to study the immersion of youths within religious institutions as faith professionals by leaving an ordinary life for a religious commitment. The research analyses who these youths are, and how their family backgrounds and personal trajectories have motivated them to adopt this mode of life.

The present study attempts to provide a more thorough understanding of public attitudes toward capital punishment. Two theories are tested toward this end, utilizing a random sample taken from the jury pool in Hillsborough County, Florida. First, An indirect test of reference group theory demonstrates the degree to which faith group, religiosity, and race affect public attitudes toward the death penalty. Surprisingly, there is little, albeit mixed, support for reference group theory as it attempts to explain attitudes toward capital punishment. Using the relationships between religion and capital punishment attitudes that we presumed would emerge from the test of reference group theory, we developed a processual model to more accurately describe how the relationships between religion and capital punishment operates. A test of attribution theory provided the vehicle through which this processual model could be tested. Although it seemed that the model was dependent on significant findings between the relationships in reference group theory, this was not the case. Indeed, we found many relationships between certain dimensions of religion and capital punishment attitudes that were consistent with previous research. Moreover, this piece of research is among the first to examine the effect of possessing a more progressive theological emphasis on death penalty attitudes. It addresses important theoretical and empirical questions regarding the direct and indirect relationships between religion and capital punishment attitudes.

Ireland had, by the year of 1998, been an island of war and conflict to some extent for almost 1000 years. The northeast part of the island, called Northern Ireland, had been under British domination for over 25 years when “the Troubles” ended by the year of 1998. This essay aims towards explaining how the first generation after “the Troubles” has been shaped in terms of political and religious beliefs and attitudes in the society of Belfast. Furthermore, this study seeks to understand the complex nature of the peace agreement and the political consociational power-sharing system that permeates Belfast and it’s people. By conduct interviews with six, picked young persons from Belfast, this essay will, in a qualitative and theoretical way, explain what, and even more so, why the prevailing attitudes exists, and which influences they are derived from. By a socialisation and Marxist theory, these articulated attitudes will be explained, compared and analysed on a deep level.
