Sinopsis

"Faith Exiles" delves into the lives of religious figures exiled for their beliefs, revealing how these experiences shaped faith traditions. The book examines the interplay between religious conviction, political power, and social justice. Exile, often seen as defeat, frequently catalyzed religious reform and renewal.

For example, early Christian leaders, though exiled, spread their message, and medieval mystics, despite persecution, influenced religious thought. The book explores this phenomenon by first introducing the concept of religious exile and its prevalence across faiths. It then presents in-depth case studies, analyzing the circumstances, responses, and long-term consequences of exile.

Drawing from historical documents and interdisciplinary perspectives, "Faith Exiles" highlights the resilience of these figures, emphasizing their active role in shaping religious discourse. The journey through the chapters showcases how these exiles inadvertently strengthened their followers' resolve.

By shedding light on these experiences, the book offers a new perspective on religious authority, tolerance, and the state's role in religious expression. It emphasizes the resilience and agency of exiled religious figures, demonstrating how their displacement led to the dissemination of their ideas and the eventual transformation of religious institutions.

This exploration provides a framework for understanding contemporary issues of religious freedom and the challenges faced by religious minorities.

Browdean Farm - From their pens...

A M Burrage

Alfred McLelland Burrage was born in Hillingdon, Middlesex on 1st July, 1889. His father and uncle were both writers, primarily of boy’s fiction, and by age 16 AM Burrage had joined them.  The young man had ambitions to write for the adult market too.  The money was better and so was his writing. 
From 1890 to 1914, prior to the mainstream appeal of cinema and radio the printed word, mainly in magazines, was the foremost mass entertainment.  AM Burrage quickly became a master of the market publishing his stories regularly across a number of publications. 
By the start of the Great War Burrage was well established but in 1916 he was conscripted to fight on the Western Front. He continued to write during these years documenting his experiences in the classic book War is War by Ex-Private X. 
For the remainder of his life Burrage was rarely printed in book form but continued to write and be published on a prodigious scale in magazines and newspapers.  In this volume we concentrate on his supernatural stories which are, by common consent, some of the best ever written.  Succinct yet full of character each reveals a twist and a flavour that is unsettling…..sometimes menacing….always disturbing.
