Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is There Hope for Afghans? Everyone has heard of the Taliban, but how well do we know the Afghan people? The winds of change are blowing through Afghanistan, one of the hardest countries in the world in which to be a Christian. How can Afghans build trusting, vibrant communities of believers? What are the best practices in discipleship? Afghan Mountain Faith explores relationships, justice, and beauty in God's unfolding kingdom. These never-before-recorded accounts show Jesus’s followers in their unique Afghan context. Their stories extend worldwide as Afghan fellowships arise globally, even though there is not a single church building inside their country. Miriam Adeney and Rashid Aalish delve into challenging issues of our time, including refugees, women’s rights, US military missions of mercy, church planting, ethnic identity, suffering, lament, orality, and ethnodoxology. If you want stories, there are stories. If you want strategies, there are strategies. If you want to wrestle with systemic issues, that is here too. These reflections will provoke you to think and propel you to hope.

This book was released on 2009-03-16 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a situation of growing interest in the religion of migrants, there are still few publications dealing with pentecostal and charismatic Christians from the global South and the churches they have been starting all over Europe. This ground-breaking study, based on extensive interviews conducted during a nine-year research period encompassing more than 100 churches, describes how pentecostal /charismatic migrant pastors live out their pastoral role, how they construct their missionary biographies, and how they conceptualize and practice evangelism. The result is a comprehensive portrait of an immigrant group which does not define itself as victimized and in need of assistance, but as expatriate agents with a clear calling and a vision to change the continent they now live in.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Religion, Media and Conversion in Iran studies the reception of Farsi Christian television channels by Muslim audiences in Iran: their motivations in viewing the Christian message, their methods of interpretation and negotiation with different media texts and their process of changing or altering their religion. Rooted in empirical research, it analyses three hundred narratives drawn from the audiences of four Farsi Christian satellite television channels between 2010 and 2015, investigating their conversion to Christianity through that medium. The research examines factors that influenced both their interpretations of, and negotiations with, the religious media message, and their process of changing, adding to or modifying their belief system, including their understanding of religious conversion. Drawing on Reception Theory, the book investigates the negotiations between meaning making and mediation and the process of faith transformation against the background of the sociology of religion and culture in contemporary Iran. By offering a unique insight into the way in which media and religion influence each other, this book is a great resource for any scholar of Religious Studies, Media Studies and Middle East Studies and will also be useful for religious media practitioners.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Iranian revolution of 1978–1979 uprooted and globally dispersed an enormous number of Iranians from all walks of life. Bitter political relations between Iran and the West have since caused those immigrants to be stigmatized, marginalized, and politicized, which, in turn, has discredited and distorted Iranian migrants’ social identity; subjected them to various subtle and overt forms of prejudice, discrimination, and social injustice; and pushed them to the edges of their host societies. The Iranian Diaspora presents the first global overview of Iranian migrants’ experiences since the revolution, highlighting the similarities and differences in their experiences of adjustment and integration in North America, Europe, Australia, and the Middle East. Written by leading scholars of the Iranian diaspora, the original essays in this volume seek to understand and describe how Iranians in diaspora (re)define and maintain their ethno-national identity and (re)construct and preserve Iranian culture. They also explore the integration challenges the Iranian immigrants experience in a very negative context of reception. Combining theory and case studies, as well as a variety of methodological strategies and disciplinary perspectives, the essays offer needed insights into some of the most urgent and consequential issues and problem areas of immigration studies, including national, ethnic, and racial identity construction; dual citizenship and dual nationality maintenance; familial and religious transformation; politics of citizenship; integration; ethnic and cultural maintenance in diaspora; and the link between politics and the integration of immigrants, particularly Muslim immigrants.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a valuable contribution to the history of historical towns and cities in Iran (former Persia). In this age of constant political upheavals when civilian populations are uprooted from their home base, many readers are interested to know what happens to these displaced communities; how they cope with homelessness, and try to resurrect their culture and national identity. The Assyrians are the main subject of this study. They were uprooted from their ancestral homes in Northwest Iran during World War I. Only a fraction survived and made their home in Hamadan as refugees. So, this book is a community study in the history of uprooted Assyrians in Hamadan. The following quote from this study is a testimony of how Assyrians have maintained their national identity and culture throughout the history of massacres ad displacements: The Assyrians do not have an independent country of their own. They are dispersed throughout the world. What has helped them to maintain their identity as a people, has been a network of social relations through family and community that have defied distance and the passage of time. Such networks bind the diaspora communities to their ancestors and place of origin. For example, individuals are identified by who they are related to and the village from where their forefathers came. To keep such connections alive, there are village reunions, and state and national conventions every year among the first generation of immigrants. Hamadan is a unique case. This is the only community that has held reunions on the basis of the town of origin (rather than the village of origin). Since the majority of Assyrians from Hamadan live in California, the reunions take place in this state. This book is also of special interest to those who trace the history of the American Protestant Missions in Iran and their contributions to the Education, health, and welfare of the host communities. In addition to the abovementioned interested readers, most of the Assyrians of Hamadan now live in the United States of America. They have pictures of their families, old churches, and monuments in Hamadan in this manuscript. They are anxious to see this manuscript in print. --Arianne Ishaya
