Exporting the Rapture: John Nelson Darby and the Victorian Conquest of North-American Evangelicalism de Donald Harman Akenson

Exporting the Rapture: John Nelson Darby and the Victorian Conquest of North-American Evangelicalism: OXFORD UNIV PR

Autor Donald Harman Akenson
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 25 oct 2018

Reținem, în primul rând, natura profund interdisciplinară a lucrării Exporting the Rapture, o analiză care îmbină istoria modernă, sociologia religiei și teologia politică pentru a explica expansiunea globală a milenarismului apocaliptic. Notăm cu interes modul în care Donald Harman Akenson reușește să depășească simpla biografie a lui John Nelson Darby, transformându-l într-un studiu de caz despre modul în care un sistem ideologic complex și seducător poate fi „împachetat” organizațional pentru a cuceri un nou continent. Credem că relevanța acestui volum pentru curriculumul de istorie a religiilor este majoră, oferind o perspectivă revizionistă asupra rădăcinilor fundamentalismului american.

Din punct de vedere structural, cartea completează perspectiva oferită de J.N. Darby and the Roots of Dispensationalism de Crawford Gribben, adăugând o dimensiune esențială: procesul de export și adaptare a acestor idei în contextul victorian nord-american, nu doar geneza lor teologică. Față de The Americanization of the Apocalypse, semnat de același autor, acest volum se concentrează mai specific pe mecanismele de transmisie din secolul al XIX-lea, servind drept punte necesară între originile irlandeze și succesul editorial de mai târziu al Bibliei Scofield.

În contextul operei sale, Exporting the Rapture continuă investigația începută în Discovering the End of Time, unde Akenson a urmărit apariția milenarismului în sudul Irlandei. Dacă în Saint Saul autorul explora modul în care evenimentele catastrofice recalibrează credința, aici el analizează succesul unei viziuni despre sfârșitul lumii care a devenit, prin Darby, un produs de export cultural de o eficiență rară. Tonul este unul academic precis, documentând meticulos cum o mișcare disidentă victoriană a ajuns să definească profilul evanghelic modern.

De ce să citești această carte

Recomandăm această carte cercetătorilor și studenților interesați de istoria ideilor și de rădăcinile fundamentalismului religios. Cititorul va înțelege cum o structură teologică abstractă a devenit o forță socială dominantă în America de Nord. Este o lectură esențială pentru a descifra mecanismele prin care mișcările religioase marginale pot migra și se pot transforma în șabloane doctrinare globale, totul sub rigoarea academică a editurii Oxford University Press.

Despre autor

Donald Harman Akenson este profesor de istorie la Queen’s University (Canada) și profesor de studii irlandeze la Universitatea din Liverpool. Recunoscut pentru erudiția sa și pentru capacitatea de a aborda teme complexe în volume precum Surpassing Wonder, Akenson este și editor senior la McGill-Queen’s University Press. Specializarea sa dublă în istoria Irlandei și în studii biblice îi oferă autoritatea necesară pentru a trasa parcursul lui John Nelson Darby din mediul anglo-irlandez până în inima evanghelismului american, fiind considerat unul dintre cei mai importanți istorici contemporani ai fenomenului religios transatlantice.

Descriere

Apocalyptic millennialism is one of the most powerful strands in evangelical Christianity. It is not a single belief, but across many powerful evangelical groups there is general adhesion to faith in the physical return of Jesus in the Second Coming, the affirmation of a Rapture heavenward of "saved" believers, a millennium of peace under the rule of Jesus and his saints and, eventually, a final judgement and entry into deep eternity.In Discovering the End of Time (2016) Donald Harman Akenson traced the emergence of the primary packaging of modern apocalyptic millennialism back to southern Ireland in the 1820s and '30s. In Exporting the Rapture, he documents for the first time how the complex theological construction that has come to dominate modern evangelical thought was enhulled in an organizational system that made it exportable from the British Isles to North America-- and subsequently around the world. A key figure in this process was John Nelson Darby who was at first a formative influence on evangelical apocalypticism in Ireland; then the volatile central figure in Brethren apocalypticism throughout the British Isles; and also a crusty but ultimately very successful missionary to the United States and Canada. Akenson emphasizes that, as strong a personality as John Nelson Darby was, the real story is that he became a vector for the transmission of a terrifically complex and highly seductive ideological system from the old world to the new. So beguiling, adaptable, and compelling was the new Dispensational system that Darby injected into North-American evangelicalism that it continued to spread logarithmically after his death. By the 1920s, the system had become the doctrinal template of the fundamentalist branch of North-American evangelicalism and the distinguishing characteristic of the bestselling Scofield Bible.

Recenzii

Recommended.
Akenson's engaging style and appreciation of human foibles make the story come alive. It helps that there is an interesting story to tell and a fascinating, if not always attractive, cast of characters.
Akenson's provocative portrayal of both John Nelson Darby and the Plymouth Brethren gives readers much to chew on concerning the sociological and cultic aspects of particular denominational histories and the power politics that drive those histories. Celebrity and power combine into a lethal combination that shape the life of organizations. Akenson reminds organizations to be aware of their possible need to curb their organizers.
This captivating study explores the takeover and mobilization of radical Protestants who embraced John Nelson Darby's dispensational reading of the Bible and a novel doctrine of a secret-Rapture. With vivid language and erudite analysis, Akenson succeeds in making the movement's ecclesiology as fascinating as its eschatology, disclosing the machinations that created a global network and transformed 19th-century evangelicalism. To grasp the mindset and tactics of today's evangelicals, read this book.
A brilliant, deeply original study of transatlantic religious history. Akenson reveals the complex dynamics and roots of North-American evangelicalism, and he does so in a manner that is both compelling and magnificently erudite. A major work on a major topic.
Focusing on the premillennial dispensationalism of John Nelson Darby, Akenson presents a radical reappraisal of American apocalyptical evangelicalism, from its origins in Ireland to its entry through Canada to the northern states of the USA. This is revisionist history in the best sense of the term. No one will ever see American fundamentalism in quite the same way again.
