Book Description
This landmark work is the first academic study of a figure who played a defining role in the Australian evangelical movement of the late twentieth century—the inimitable preacher, evangelist, and churchman John C. Chapman. The study situates Chapman’s career within the secularizing Western cultures of the post-1960s—a period bringing momentous changes to the social and religious fabric of Western society. At the same time, global Evangelicalism was reviving, bringing vitality to large swathes in the Global South and a re-balancing in Western societies as conservative religious movements experienced growth and even renewal amidst wider secularizing trends. Against this backdrop the study explores the way in which, across a wide array of domestic and international fora, Chapman contended for the soteriological priority of the gospel in Christian life, mission, and thought. Accomplished via an absorbing blend of personal wit, impassioned oratory, innovative missiological strategy, and striking theological perception, the result was a stimulating history of public advocacy that sought a revival of confidence in Evangelicalism’s message, and a constantly reforming vision of Evangelicalism’s method. Such a legacy marks Chapman as a central figure within the generation of postwar leaders whose work has given Australian Evangelicalism its contemporary shape and dynamism.

The Red and the Real
Author: Jonathan Cohen
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0199556164
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 281
Book Description
The Red and the Real offers a new approach to longstanding philosophical puzzles about what colors are and how they fit into the natural world. Jonathan Cohen argues for a role-functionalist treatment of color - a view according to which colors are identical to certain functional roles involving perceptual effects on subjects. Cohen first argues (on broadly empirical grounds) for the more general relationalist view that colors are constituted in terms of relations betweenobjects, perceivers, and viewing conditions. He responds to semantic, ontological, and phenomenological objections against this thesis, and argues that relationalism offers the best hope of respecting both empirical results and ordinary belief about color. He then defends the more specific rolefunctionalist-account by contending that the latter is the most plausible form of color relationalism.

Discovery In Sunshine

Publisher: Fulton Books, Inc.

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 210
Book Description
What did Beth volunteer to do? She was about to drive a semi-tractor-trailer rig across the country. But there were no maps, no diesel, no communication, and no truck stops. Discovery in Sunshine is a story set in a period of postapocalyptic recovery from volcanoes, floods, fires, and loss of cities and lives within western North America. Her family had developed a better way to collect, store, and save solar power to effectively run heavy transport trucks. Their company needed to prove the effectiveness of this development by doing a test-drive across parts of the country without other fuels. They installed their technology on a truck and trailer that would carry food and medicine. They convinced groups engaged in the transportation industry to support this test. The test would be a trial run from Canada to Mexico by women and men in a semi-tractor-trailer rig mapping roads and finding what cities and peoples had survived. They were without knowledge of what they might encounter and how well this technology would serve them over a month's time. This travel route was without communication, a power grid, or seaports to supply goods. They had hope, grit, and determination. Beth will start on this journey with a physician who wants to find her family. What will they find? What impact can they make?

Phenomenal Sydney
Author: Marcia Cameron
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1498289320
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 327
Book Description
The Diocese of Sydney is admired, hated, loved, and feared. While often criticized as no longer Anglican, it has at its heart an adherence to classic Anglicanism. While to some it is a beacon in the darkness, to others it is like a threatening bushfire. It is very large, very wealthy, and very influential in other places. Its opposition to ordaining women priests, and, in many parishes, to women preaching, mystifies and angers many Anglicans within and outside its boundaries. What makes this diocese such a phenomenon? The answer lies in its history: in the men and women who shaped it, in a particular view of the authority of the Bible, and in the influence wielded by some powerful institutions that have prospered. Its energy comes from the Scriptural mandate for mission: to bring the outsider into the community of Christian people, but not to leave it there. To educate them in the knowledge of Christ in a variety of creative and imaginative ways. This book also looks at what Sydney has done badly. It may help readers to learn from its past achievements and its mistakes.

Foundations of Anglican Evangelicalism in Victoria
Author: Wei-Han Kuan
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1532682166
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 303
Book Description
For more than half a century, the Anglican Diocese of Melbourne was unquestionably the most rigorously evangelical and missions-oriented diocese in Australia. The Diocese of Sydney, in that same period, was decidedly broader in theological and liturgical practice. How and why did Melbourne move in one direction, while Sydney in the other? This study suggests that the answers are to be found in four vital contributors: local churches, evangelical societies, theological colleges, and diocesan bishops. For three broad periods of history between 1847 and 1937, the presence of these four contributors is uncovered, described, and evaluated for the Diocese of Melbourne. Evangelical activism, theological reflection, and leadership are each shown in their contemporary contexts to help us understand how people with gospel passion sought to respond faithfully to their times. This is the question of vision, leadership, and strategy at the heart of this study: “What makes for long-term evangelical continuity over a hundred-year period?”

Engaging Neighbors and Nations
Author: Tim Silberman
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1532697724
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 264
Book Description
Evangelical churches are widely known for their commitment to mission locally and to the ends of the earth. However, in the last century, there have been profound theological and sociological changes that have impacted mission practice. Church and mission leaders have encouraged Christians to respond to the need for mission locally, especially as church decline accelerates in much of the Western world. Yet others are concerned that global mission involvement is being neglected in many local churches. This study explores the factors influencing local church participation in mission both locally and around the world. Through an in-depth analysis of the practices and perspectives among evangelical churches in Australia, the author identifies a range of theological, missiological, and organizational influences on mission practice. Though beliefs about the church, the world, and mission are important, understanding organizational principles, social capital, and the power of relational networks provides invaluable insights into church-mission practice. This book is for those who long to see local churches committed to engaging both their neighbors and the nations in mission, growing our understanding of how to encourage helpful church practices for the sake of Christ.
