Historical Dictionary of the Reformed Churches
As its name implies, the Reformed tradition grew out of the 16th century Protestant Reformation. The Reformed churches consider themselves to be the Catholic Church reformed. The movement originated in the reform efforts of Huldrych Zwingli (1484-1531) of Zurich and John Calvin (1509-1564) of Geneva. Although the Reformed movement was dependent upon many Protestant leaders, it was Calvin's tireless work as a writer, preacher, teacher, and social and ecclesiastical reformer that provided a substantial body of literature and an ethos from which the Reformed tradition grew. Today, the Reformed churches are a multicultural, multiethnic, and multinational phenomenon. Historical Dictionary of the Reformed Churches, Third Edition contains a chronology, an introduction, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has more than 1,000 cross-referenced entries on leaders, personalities, events, facts, movements, and beliefs of the Reformed churches. This book is an excellent resource for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about reformed churches.
Bíblia Amada Brasil
A Bíblia é o Livro dos livros. É a infalível e inerrante Palavra de Deus e é assim que ainda crê e confessa pelo menos boa parte da cristandade moderna. O fato é que a fim de revelar a si mesmo e os seus mais elevados e eternos propósitos, Deus decidiu, por meio da ação do Seu Espírito da Instrumentalidade humana, produzir um registro detalhado da História da Redenção, de sorte que nela, isto é na Bíblia, estão literalmente reveladas "as Palavras de vida eterna" e o que consequentemente faz dela, a mais importante e fundamental de todas as leituras. O leitor encontrará um verdeiro tributo ao Livro de Deus. Escrito em linguagem simples e objetiva, temos aqui uma abordagem muito interessante que pode perfeitamente ser usado não apenas como matéria de "introdução" à Bibliologia, mas também, como uma rica fonte de informações históricas sobre a saga da Bíblia em terras brasileiras. Autor e leitores estão simplesmente de parabéns!
Propagandists of the Book
Pedro Feitoza traces the history of Protestantism in Brazil through an analysis of the production and circulation of evangelical texts. Examining a wide range of periodicals, tracts, correspondence, and other archival records and delving into the ideology of religious thinkers and evangelists of the time, Feitoza considers how Protestant veneration of the written word led to a complex infrastructure for the distribution of religious texts and the fostering of literacy in Brazil in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Slavery and Protestant Missions in Imperial Brazil
"In 1888, Brazil was the last nation in the modern west to abolish slavery. Slavery and Protestant Missions in Imperial Brazil is an enlightening look at the role Christianity played in the struggle to abolish slavery in Brazil. Author Jose Carlos Barbosa seeks to explain why Protestant missionaries stationed in Brazil during the nineteenth century remained silent on the issue of abolition, even after the end of the American Civil War. Barbosa asserts that the missionaries' first priority was to secure a toehold for Protestantism and that meant not alienating the political and landowning elites of Brazilian society. Also, dominant theological thinking placed spiritual matters over temporal: "Give to Caesar what is Caesar's, and give to God what is God's" making abolition in Brazil a largely secular struggle."--BOOK JACKET.

Semeadores da Palavra
A causa da Bíblia no Brasil já tem uma história de dois séculos e muitos heróis. São incontáveis os personagens do passado que lutaram com fé e coragem para introduzir e divulgar a Bíblia em nosso país. Se hoje o BRasil é uma das nações que mais distribuem as Escrituras Sagradas no mundo, é a eles que devemos. É preciso seguir esses preciosos exemplos para que a Bíblia seja cada vez mais conhecida pelo povo brasileiro. Embora a Sociedade Bíblica do Brasil já tenha publicado uma série de livros históricos, faltava, entretanto, uma obra onde o leitor pudesse encontrar informações biográficas detalhadas sobre os principais protagonistas da divulgação da Palavra de Deus no Brasil. O propósito deste livro de biografias, Semeadores da Palavra, é preencher essa lacuna e resgatar a memória de muitos desses personagens. Este livro apresenta a biografia de 58 personagens, tradutores e divulgadores da Bíblia, que já faleceram e tiveram uma participação decisiva na introdução e divulgação das Escrituras Sagradas no país.
