Baha'is in Exile
Baha’is in Exile By: Vernon Elvin Johnson Author Vernon Elvin Johnson considers Baha’is in Exile a sequel to his doctoral dissertation. In this book, Johnson seeks to continue the history he briefly covered in the last chapter of his dissertation. Baha’is are followers of Baha’u’llah, the main founder of the Baha’i religion. The Baha’is mentioned in this book have been rejected, cast out, or exiled from the faith by the majority – or mainstream – body of Baha’is, creating what some consider divisions in the Baha’i faith.
Routledge Library Editions: Spiritualism
The volumes in this set, originally published between 1974 and 1992, draw together research by leading academics in spiritualism, and provide a rigorous examination of related key issues. The collection examines spirituality from a broad range of disciplines, from the spirituality in the Christian church, spirituality in Africa, and Afro-American religions, as well as examining the areas of channeling, mediumship and spirit possession. In this 3-volume set, there are two incredibly unique and insightful bibliographic source collections, examining both primary and secondary source listings across the subject of spiritualism and one volume providing field research into spirituality in the Christian church and in the occult. This collection is an incredibly useful tool for researchers examining the broad area of spiritualism and will be of interest to researchers, academics and students of anthropology, religion and sociology.
The Religious Dimension of Political Behavior
The dramatic increase in religiously motivated political activity in the United States since the early 1980s has spawned an increased scholarly awareness of the relationship between religion and politics. The rise of such groups as the Moral Majority, the Christian Coalition, and the Family Research Council attests to this growing intersection between politics and religion. Correspondingly, the amount of scholarly writing in this field has increased significantly. This volume compiles overviews of the existing research in religion and political behavior. Designed as a research and reference tool, this work includes over four hundred annotated bibliographic entries for books and journal articles by political scientists and sociologists. These sources encompass a wide variety of aspects concerning the relationship between religion and political behavior. The entries provide information on the theoretical basis, methodology, and result of each study. Entries are indexed by author, subject, and title.
Why African American Youth are Attracted to Non-Christian/nontraditional Religions and Sects
I made the monumental decision to follow Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior 50 years ago, at age 8, while attending Miles Chapel Christian Methodist Church in Little Rock Arkansas. Shortly afterward, I was baptized as a testimony to my being buried with Christ in His death and raised to a new life with Him. In 1959, I enrolled at Lane College in Jackson, Tennessee where I was awarded the BS Degree in 1962. In 1977, I enrolled in Fuller Theological Seminary in Pasadena, California and, in 1979, received my MA Degree in Theology, becoming the first African American woman to graduate from the "Black, Asian, Hispanic Program. In 1980, I served as an Associate Pastor at Amos Christian Methodist C...
