Conservative Protestantism and the World Order: The Faith Movement in the United States and Sweden

This article discusses the extent to which globalization theory can be used to interpret the recent revival and expansion of conservative Protestantism in western societies. By focussing on the diffusion of Faith ideology (the Prosperity Gospel) from the United States to the of Bible center in Sweden, I show how the Swedish group acts as a kind of transnational cultural broker, managing a flow of meaning between two very different politicoreligious contexts. I argue that Word of Life seeks to articulate its identity in both local and global terms, simultaneously asserting the existence of an organic unity between religious and political authority in its host country and accommodating to a much wider vision of a divinely sanctioned world order. In the process, it produces a conservative Protestant interpretation of the changing place of Sweden in the global order of nation-states.

LA PLUIE ESCHATOLOGIQUE LE PENTECÔTISME ET SON INSERTION DANS LA MISSION PROTESTANTE AU KENYA

Summary Part of a larger historical and anthropological study of a recent religious movement among the Kikuyu in the southern region of Central Kenya, this article traces its Pentecostalist roots back to the evangelical revivalism of the Holiness Movement, and more specifically to the foundation, by C. Parham, of a Biblical School at Topeka, Kansas (1900), and to the great Welsh Revival (1904). In the meantime, the Christian Catholic Apostolic Church, founded by John Alexander Dowie in 1896 at Zion City, Illinois, had been exported to South Africa, and joined by Pierre-Louis Le Roux, formerly of the Dutch Reformed Church, and his friend J. Buchler, son of Swiss immigrants. After founding the “Christian Catholic Church in Zion”, both became independently founders of Pentecostalist Churches, affiliated with the Apostolic Faith movement of Florence Crawford, who was present at the ‘Latter Rain’ experience of Azusa Street Church at Los Angeles, California (1906). Le Roux's “Apostolic Faith Mission of South Af...

The Movement of Faith as Revealed in Tolstoi's Confession

Tolstoi's Confession is the story of the spiritual crisis which its author experienced during the late 1870s, when the man who had written War and Peace and Anna Karenina came to believe that he had accomplished nothing in life, that his life was meaningless. Although there are parallels between the torments of Levin in Anna Karenina and Tolstoi's own conflicts in the Confession, the latter piece was written in 1879, two years after the publication of the former, and represents a more developed reflection on “the problem of life.” As I shall argue in this article, the resolution of the crisis related in Tolstoi's Confession comes in a movement of faith which emerges as the fourth aspect of a four-dimensional change or metamorphosis within the individual. The four-dimensions of the metamorphosis may be described as (1) the encounter with death, (2) the onset of despair, (3) the struggle for possibility, and (4) the movement of faith. Let us now see how an analysis of the movement of faith as revealed in Tolstoi's Confession may be rendered in these terms.

The Ecumenical Thought of Bishop Charles Henry Brent

Episcopalian Bishop Charles Henry Brent was one of the outstanding pioneers in the modern ecumenical movement. His career as an international figure began in 1901 with an appointment at the age of 39 to be first missionary bishop of the Philippine Islands. From this mission vantage point his influence extended around the world. In 1909 President Taft chose him to be President of the First International Opium Commission in Shanghai. During the last year of the First World War he served as Senior Headquarters Chaplain to the American Expeditionary Forces. But Brent' greatest achievement was to be in the realm of church unity. He founded and inspired the Faith and Order movement, and presided over its First World Conference at Lausanne, Switzerland in 1927.
