Book Description
Excerpt from Memoirs of the Life of the Rev. William Ward, Late Baptist Missionary in India: Containing a Few of His Early Poetical Productions, and a Monody to His Memory Memoir from the associates of his later years, who might be possessed, through his private papers, of many interesting materials, and looked earnestly for the annunciation of some publication of this kind intheprincipalreligious publications of the day. But when a considerable time had elapsed, and nothing had made its appearance, except a short supplement to a sermon, or a leading article in some of the Magazines, he thought himself called upon, both by the claims of friend ship and his duty to the community, to attempt something more satisfactory. How far he has succeeded is not for him self to determine; the public will g1ve a more just award; if, however, these pages shall have the effect of making his friend's character more known, and kindling in the minds of any a similar spirit, he will never have cause to regret the trouble he has taken, and the labour he has bestowed.

Apology for the Late Christian Missions to India
Author: Andrew FullerPublisher: Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG
ISBN: 3110420481
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 202
Book Description
Andrew Fuller (1754–1815) was a pastor whose ministry coincided with the revitalization of the English Calvinistic Baptist denomination of which he was a distinguished member. He was a pathbreaking theologian, apologist, and spiritual biographer, who throughout his career remained rooted in the local church. Yet despite his multiple achievements, Fuller was probably best known at the end of his life as a pioneering missionary statesman. He was one of the founders and principal advocates of the Baptist Missionary Society, serving as the new society’s secretary from its inception in 1792 until his death. His Apology for the Late Christian Missions to India was published in 1808 to defend the BMS missionaries from those who wanted them recalled from ‘British India’ for damaging colonial interests. In the Apology, Fuller shares his passion for overseas cross-cultural mission, a passion which came to define his ministry for many of his contemporaries and also, to a significant degree, for subsequent generations. In the Apology Fuller advocates on their behalf. This new edition of the Apology includes a 30,000-word introduction setting the context, and full notes on the text itself. It is of interest to theologians and missiologists as well as specialists in the history of Christian cross-cultural mission, colonialism, and the intersection between the two.
Unlikely Friends
Author: David W. ScottPublisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1725286394
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 227
Book Description
Can something as simple as friendship have a transformative impact in a divided world? Through a series of richly textured historical portraits and reflections on personal experience, this book shows that boundary-crossing friendships in Christian mission have shaped theologies, built organizations and partnerships, facilitated mission work, and changed attitudes and ways of thinking. This is true in settings as varied as eighteenth-century French women's work, twentieth-century urban Boston, colonial India, the Jim Crow South, and twentieth-century rural Congo. In all these settings and more, friendship has mattered. Boundary-crossing friendships are, however, not easy. Despite their power, such friendships are complicated by race, gender, ability, class, nationality, and other elements of identity, as this book also demonstrates. Friendships are not immune from the divisions in the world, nor a simple cure-all for them. Still, friendship stands as a powerful testimony to the gospel. Therefore, the book calls for more attention to friendship in the study of mission history and more living out of friendship as a practice of mission. In this way, this book pays honor to Dr. Dana L. Robert as a pre-eminent mission scholar and exemplary friend and mentor to others in the fields of missiology and world Christianity.
Memoirs of the Rev. Samuel Pearce
Author: Michael HaykinPublisher: Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG
ISBN: 311045792X
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 167
Book Description
Clearly modeled on Jonathan Edwards' life of David Brainerd, Andrew Fuller's memoir for his close friend Samuel Pearce was written out of the conviction that telling the stories of the lives of remarkable Christians is a means of grace for the church. This new critical edition of the memoir is based on the 1808 third edition and documents the way that Fuller modified the text after its original printing in 1800. A substantial introduction discusses the evangelical use of biography, sets the memoir in the context of Fuller's literary corpus, and provides an overview of Pearce's life, touching on areas not fully treated by Fuller.
The Spread of Print in Colonial India
Author: Abhijit GuptaPublisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1108985327
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 149
Book Description
This study focuses on the spread of print in colonial India towards the middle and end of the nineteenth century. Till the first half of the century, much of the print production in the subcontinent emanated from presidency cities such as Calcutta, Bombay and Madras, along with centres of missionary production such as Serampore. But with the growing socialization of print and the entry of local entrepreneurs into the field, print began to spread from the metropole to the provinces, from large cities to mofussil towns. This Element will look at this phenomenon in eastern India, and survey how printing spread from Calcutta to centres such as Hooghly-Chinsurah, Murshidabad, Burdwan, Rangpur etc. The study will particularly consider the rise of periodicals and newspapers in the mofussil, and asses their contribution to a nascent public sphere.
