Henry Venn--Missionary Statesman
Author: Wilbert R. Shenk
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1597525480
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 193
Book Description
Henry Venn was born and bred among the British evangelical aristocracy at Clapham. Wilberforce, Grant, Macaulay, Stephen, and Thornton were at the height of their powers -- leading the campaign against slavery, promoting public morals, founding philanthropic and missionary societies -- at the turn of the nineteenth century. As powerful leader of the most prominent British missionary society from 1841 to 1872, Venn unhesitatingly used his connections with politicians and statesmen to further the missionary cause. He often found himself at odds with government, but he mastered the art of lobbying skillfully for his interest. Henry Venn was a man of generous hospitality who entertained countless guests in his home. Sir Leslie Stephen, his nephew, conjectured that in evangelical circles noted for their somber mood Venn must have been something of an embarrassment with his irrepressible humor. Venn was an outstanding administrator. Early on he perceived the need to provide the missionary movement with a clear theoretical framework. Out of his search for principles of missionary action emerged the indigenous church ideal that has figured prominently in all missionary thinking since.

Author: H. S. Holland
Publisher: Good Press
ISBN:
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 335
Book Description
Lux Mundi: A Series of Studies in the Religion of the Incarnation' serves as a pivotal anthology that encapsulates a significant shift within theological thought, particularly within the Anglican tradition. It showcases a breadth of literary styles ranging from rigorous academic discourse to more reflective, meditative essays, all centered around the incarnation of Christ and its implications for modern faith and life. The diversity and depth of the contributions make it a cornerstone collection, illuminating varied perspectives on a foundational Christian doctrine, while also daring to engage with contemporary scientific and moral philosophy, thus bridging the gap between faith and reason. The contributing authors, including H. S. Holland, Aubrey Moore, and C. Gore among others, are distinguished for their profound contributions to theology and the broader intellectual movements of their time. Collectively aligned with the broader 'Liberal Anglicanism' movement, their works in this anthology reflect a nuanced attempt to reconcile traditional Christian doctrine with the rapid advancements and discoveries of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Their diverse academic and clerical backgrounds enrich the anthology, offering a tapestry of insights that speak to a wide audience of both believers and skeptics. 'Religion of the Incarnation' is not just a scholarly exploration but a compelling invitation to readers interested in theological and philosophical questions. It holds significant educational value, providing a comprehensive overview of a transformative period in Anglican theology through the voices of its most influential thinkers. For those seeking to understand the complexities of faith in a rapidly changing world, this collection offers a multitude of perspectives, encouraging a deeper engagement with the questions that have shaped Christian thought and practice for centuries.
