Book Description
Excerpt from The Religious Instruction of the Slaves in the West India Colonies Advocated and Defended: A Sermon Preached Before the Wesleyan Methodist Missionary Society, in the New Chapel, City-Road, London, April 28, 1824 We call Christianity, emphatically, a revelation. It is so. It is a revelation of God, of a Redeemer, and of a Future Life. But with scarcely less emphasis may it be entitled a revelation of Man. At its first promulgation, it placed him under aspects new, at least, to the world of Gentiles; and, to this moment, it continues to stamp upon him this signature of his value in the sight of God, that all the truths which the revelations of the inspired Scriptures contain were made for his sake; that for him the veil has been withdrawn from the attributes of God; for him the Redeemer left "the bosom of the Father;" and for him the manifestations of immortality now bound the vanities of the present life with the stupendous realities of another. Its discovery of the solemn and consolatory relations in which man stands to God, is accompanied also by a most interesting declaration of the relation in which man stands to his fellows. When two passages were recorded in our Scriptures by the inspiration of their Author, views on this subject as novel as they were tender and benevolent were opened on the world. One affirms, that God "hath made of One Blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth;" that they are of one family, of one origin, of one common nature: the other, that our Saviour became incarnate, "that he, by the grace of God, should taste death for every man." Behold the foundation of the fraternity of our race, however coloured and however scattered. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The Missionary Movement from the West
Author: Andrew F. Walls
Publisher: Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing
ISBN: 1467467634
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 352
Book Description
A long-awaited culmination of scholarship by a pioneer of missiology and global Christianity The history of the missions is complex and fraught. Though modern missions began with European colonialism, the outcome was a largely non-Western global Christianity. Highly esteemed scholar Andrew Walls explores every facet of the movement, including its history, theory, and future. Walls locates the birth of the Protestant missionary movement in the West with the Puritans and Pietists and their efforts to convert the Native Americans they displaced. Tracing the movement into the twentieth century, Walls shows how colonialism and missionary work turned out to be essentially incompatible. Missionaries must live on another culture’s terms, and their goal—the establishment of churches of every nation—depends on accepting new, indigenous Christians as equals. Now that Christianity has become primarily an African, Latin American, and Asian religion rather than a European one, the dynamics of the church’s mission have transformed. Sensitive to this shift, Walls indicates new areas of listening to and learning from this new center of Christianity and speculates on the theological contributions from a truly global church. Throughout his long and fruitful career, Walls told the story of missions as a dedicated Christian scholar, teacher, and mentor. Prior to his passing in 2021, he entrusted the editing of his lectures to his friends and students. The result of this labor of love, The Missionary Movement from the West is a must-read for scholars of missiology, world Christianity, and church history.

Foreign Bodies
Author: Bronwen Douglas
Publisher: ANU E Press
ISBN: 1921536004
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 372
Book Description
From the 18th century, Oceania became the principal laboratory of raciology for scholars, voyagers, and colonizers alike. By juxtaposing encounters and theory, this magisterial book explores the semantics of human difference in all its emotional, intellectual, religious, and practical dimensions. The argument developed is subtle, engrossing, and gives the paradigm of 'race' its full use value. Foreign Bodies is a model of analysis and erudition from which historians of science and everyone interested in intercultural relations will greatly profit.
