We know Jesus the Savior, but have we met Jesus, Prince of Peace?When did we accept vengeance as an acceptable part of the Christian life? How did violence and power seep into our understanding of faith and grace?

The pastor in print Genre, audience, and religious change in early modern England


Free Download Amy G. Tan, "The pastor in print: Genre, audience, and religious change in early modern England "
English | ISBN: 1526152207 | 2022 | 288 pages | PDF | 13 MB
The pastor in print explores the phenomenon of early modern pastors who chose to become print authors, addressing ways authorship could enhance, limit or change clerical ministry and ways pastor-authors conceived of their work in parish and print. It identifies strategies through which pastor-authors established authorial identities, targeted different sorts of audiences and strategically selected genre and content as intentional parts of their clerical vocation. The first study to provide a book-length analysis of the phenomenon of early modern pastors writing for print, it uses a case study of prolific pastor-author Richard Bernard to offer a new lens through which to view religious change in this pivotal period. By bringing together questions of print, genre, religio-politics and theology, the book will interest scholars and postgraduate students in history, literature and theological studies, and its readability will appeal to undergraduates and non-specialists.
