Book Description
Excerpt from Presbyterian Foreign Missions: An Account of the Foreign Missions of the Presbyterian Church in the U. S. A The Bishop of Durham, whose devotion of his sons to the mission work in India has given evidence of the depth of his own interest in missions, recommended some time ago to the clergy of his diocese the study of the present conquests of the Cross. Scarcely any other study can be so fruitful in quickening spiritual purpose and confirming Christian faith. What the mission work is accomplishing is intelligible only in the light of the presence in it of the living power of God. The whole work of missions, however, is too great for Christians any longer to comprehend. Each one must make selection of those phases of it which are of most interest and significance to him. Whatever else may be included in such a selection, we surely must not pass over the mission work of our own Church. Histories of the missions of the various churches make this kind of study possible, and they also give hopeful proof of the power and extent of the missionary enterprise. This little volume is intended to meet the needs of Presbyterians in this regard, and to provide for others who may wish it a brief account of the foreign missionary work of the Presbyterian Church.

North American Foreign Missions, 1810-1914
Author: Wilbert R. ShenkPublisher: Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing
ISBN: 9780802824851
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 368
Book Description
The year 1810 marks the start of the North American foreign missions movement -- a movement begun with typical American enthusiasm and vigor but in need of practical grounding. This volume explores important facets of the development of North American foreign missions, paying particular attention to the role agencies like the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions (ABCFM) played in shaping the theology, theory, and policy of evangelistic activities overseas. Written by leading experts on missions and religious history, this volume is distinguished by its focus on key events taking place at the home base rather than on happenings in the foreign mission field. In doing so, these insightful studies shed light on important yet neglected topics, including the impact of debates about slavery on foreign missions, the emergence of distinctive mission strategies for women, the role of the social gospel as a missionary ideology, and the contribution of foreign missions to the creation of a global evangelical network. Contributors: Alvyn AustinRuth Compton Brouwer, Wendy J. Diechmann Edwards, Janet F. Fishburn, Paul Harris, David W. Kling, Charles A. Maxfield III, Susan Wilds McArver, John F. Piper Jr., Dana L. Robert, Richard Lee Rogers, Wilbert R. Shenk, Carol Ann Vaughn. bThis excellent volume will command widespread attention not only for its display of scholarly expertise but for the fresh and revealing light it throws on the principal landmarks and major themes in the history of missionary expansion overseas.b -- Andrew Porter Kingbs College London

Each entry includes the organization's name in English, followed by its Chinese name, country of origin, and denominational affiliation.
