Book Description
THE SUBTITLE OF THIS SIXTH AND FINAL VOLUME of The Vincentians, “Internationalization and Aggiornamento (1919–1980),” describes the growth and change of the Congregation of the Mission in the twentieth century. Formerly European in focus, the provinces of the Congregation gained their own voice. Membership in mission lands, such as China, Brazil, and Ethiopia, surged, as local vocations joined their European confreres. The same is true of maturing provinces elsewhere. St. Vincent de Paul’s congregation became internationalized in both outreach and membership. The Vincentians in these recent decades also tasted the bitterness of persecution. The Congregation was suppressed at various times in Europe, Latin America, Asia, and Africa. Its members often reacted by moving elsewhere, thus furthering the internationalization of the Vincentian charism. Under the Nazis and Communist regimes, many suffered imprisonment, torture, and death. The provinces of Central Europe (Slovakia, Hungary, and Poland), to say nothing of China, were particularly hard-hit. Updating (aggiornamento) was the watchword toward the close of this period. As society changed, so did the Church, and with it the Vincentians. The process was difficult and painful, but it moved the Congregation in directions originally laid down by the Founder. Increasingly, the members emphasized mutual cooperation with many Vincentian-inspired lay organizations, the Vincentian Family. The inspiration shared among them all has been a further manifestation of the compelling insights of St. Vincent de Paul.

Book Description
The story of Christianity in the West has often been told, but the history of Christianity in the East is not as well known. The seed was the same: the good news of Jesus Christ for the whole world, which Christians call "the gospel." But it was sown by different sowers; it was planted in different soil; it grew with a different flavor; and it was gathered by different reapers. It is too often forgotten that the faith moved east across Asia as early as it moved west into Europe. Western church history tends to follow Paul to Philippi and to Rome and on across Europe to the conversion of Constantine and the barbarians. With some outstanding exceptions, only intermittently has the West looked beyond Constantinople as its center. It was a Christianity that has for centuries remained unashamedly Asian. A History of Christianity in Asia makes available immense amounts of research on religious pluralism of Asia and how Christianity spread long before the modern missionary movement went forth in the shelter of Western military might. Invaluable for historians of Asia and scholars of mission, it is stimulating for all readers interested in Christian history. --

Book Description
Excerpt from Histoire Apostolique: Actes des Apotres En tout cas, le titre spécial et traditionnel des Actes des Apôtres n'a pas été donné par l'auteur mème au livre dont nous allons nous occuper. C'est l'un des derniers ouvrages de la littérature apostolique dont il soit fait mention dans les écrits chrétiens postérieurs; on n'en trouve guère de trace chez les Pères qui ont précédé les grands écrivains de la fin du second siècle, et ceux - ci le désignent déjà par le nom qui lui est resté. Cette mention tardive ne doit pas cependant faire soupçonner une origine comparativement beaucoup plus récente L'ouvrage avait un caractère privé, et l'on comprend que les événements qu'il raconte n'avaient pas pour l'église une importance égale à celle de l'histoire de jésus-christ lui - mème. Cela est si vrai, que deux siècles plus tard encore, Chrysostome pouvait se plaindre que beaucoup de ses contemporains en ignoraient jusqu'à l'existence.
