Beyond the Noise of Solemn Assemblies collects and extends many of his classic works to present a comprehensive overview of a major thread in the fabric of the country. Observing the mutual foundations of political and religious traditions in myth and arguing that the sacred and the secular belong together in discussions of public affairs, Allen contests the view that religion is personal and isolated from the public square. He discusses a range of topics: the transition from providential to progressist thought in nineteenth-century Canada ; the new spirituality of social solidarity articulated by Winnipeg college students in the 1890s ; the role of the social gospel in pioneering urban reform ; farmers and workers finding in radical Christianity legitimation for political revolt ; Christian intellectuals in the 1930s framing a revolutionary prospectus for Depression-era Canada ; the significance of Norman Bethune's religious upbringing for his life and work ; strategically focused post-war ecumenical coalitions like Project North and the Latin American Working Group ; and the prospects for democratic socialism at the end of the Cold War. Opening with a chapter relating the author's upbringing in a ministerial household dedicated to the Protestant ethic as the spirit of socialism, Beyond the Noise of Solemn Assemblies represents a significant contribution to understanding the social Christian movement in Canada."-- Geschichte 1890-2000 gnd Christlicher Sozialismus (DE-588)4147939-7 gnd Christliche Sozialethik (DE-588)4121094-3 gnd Soziale Gerechtigkeit (DE-588)4236433-4 gnd Protestantismus (DE-588)4047538-4 gnd Christian socialism Canada History 20th century Christian socialism Canada History 20th century (RERO)B028088302 Protestantism Canada History 20th century (RERO)B028088303 Socialisme chrétien (RERO)A021009119 rero Protestantisme (RERO)A021003360 rero 20e siècle (RERO)A021017254 rero Kanada (DE-588)4029456-0 gnd Canada (IDREF)027250679 idref McGill-Queen's studies in the history of religion 82 (RERO)001470922 BK020000 XK020000 XK020000 zbzmon201905f beer zbzswk201905g baie idszbz Z2 RERO RE01003 RE01003 RE010030001 NA 2019.5340 NEBIS Z01 Z01 02 2019 A 20606 NEBIS 100 1- Allen Richard Verfasser aut NEBIS 490 0- McGill-Queen's studies in the history of religion.
