Book Description
Award-winning historian John Demos tells the astonishing and moving story of a unique missionary project, which probes the very roots of American identity. Near the start of the nineteenth century, as the United States looked outward to the wider world, a group of eminent Protestant ministers devised a grand scheme for gathering the rest of mankind into the redemptive fold of Christianity and "civiization." Its core element was a special school for "heathen youth" drawn from all parts of the earth, and, especially, the native nations of North America. If all went well, graduates would return to join similiar projects in their respective homelands. For some years, the school prospered, indeed became quite famous. However, when two Cherokee students courted and married local women public resolve and fundamental ideals were put to a severe test.

George Adamski - A Herald for the Space Brothers
Author: Gerard Aartsen
Publisher:
ISBN: 9789081549523
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 160
Book Description
This book focuses, for the first time, on the true significance of the mission of George Adamski (1891-1965) to inform humanity of our spiritual nature, our interplanetary brotherhood and the need to take responsibility for our home, planet Earth. Using Adamski's own words where possible, and making connections that have thus far been missed or ignored, this book shows how Adamski's work as a harbinger for the Space Brothers and their teachings fits squarely within the Ageless Wisdom tradition as handed down through the ages by the Elder Brothers of humanity - the Masters of Wisdom with whom Adamski studied as a teenager. In doing so this book places his mission in a context larger in scope than even most of his supporters could have fathomed. 'George Adamski - A Herald for the Space Brothers' is a unique book that reveals the true scope of Adamski's mission in preparation for a complete restructuring of our world, re-framing the discussion about the relevance of his work; provides the first comprehensive outline of Adamski's teaching, largely based on publications that were never available to the larger public and were never reprinted; shows there is nothing 'alien' about the visitors from space; and features the most complete Adamski bibliography to date.

Evangelical Belief and Enlightenment Morality in the Australian Temperance Movement
Author: Nicole Starling
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1003860761
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 229
Book Description
This book explores the history of the Australian temperance movement and the ideas that informed it, offering a detailed examination of the beliefs of evangelicals involved. The temperance movement in Australia was large and influential, and played a vital role in shaping the cultural and political life of the emerging nation across the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The study focuses on the relationship between evangelicalism and 'Moral Enlightenment' ideas within the temperance movement between 1832 and 1930. It considers the complex and varied ways in which they interacted within the thinking of the movement’s leaders, enriches discussions regarding religion and secularisation, and offers new insight into the involvement of women. Against the larger horizon of global evangelicalism, the international temperance movement, and the evolution of Australian political culture, the chapters look at the reported words and actions of six key temperance leaders: John Saunders, George Washington Walker, John McEncroe, Alfred Stackhouse, Mary Ann Thomas and Elizabeth Webb Nicholls. The book will be relevant to scholars of religious history and those with an interest in the evangelical Protestant tradition.
