Author: James E. McGoldrick
Publisher: Reformation Heritage Books

Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 691
Book Description
In 1905, Westminster Press published History of the Presbyterian Churches of the World by church historian Richard Clark Reed (1851–1925). Reed’s book, intended as a textbook for college and seminary students, covered the history of churches that subscribed to Presbyterian polity from the New Testament era to the beginning of the twentieth century. Based on Reed’s original work as well as an unpublished manuscript by Presbyterian historian Thomas Hugh Spence Jr. (1899–1986), Presbyterian and Reformed Churches: A Global History picks up the story of Presbyterian and Reformed churches where the earlier works left off. In this volume, James McGoldrick revises and updates Reed’s and Spence’s original, historically relevant works, continuing the survey to the twenty-first century. Each chapter traces the history of Presbyterian and Reformed churches in individual nations and regions around the globe. The author covers the major events, leaders, and institutions influencing Presbyterian and Reformed church history in a readable style that is ideally suited for classroom study as well as for independent reading. A list of suggested additional readings concludes each chapter. Nations/regions covered: Switzerland, France, the Netherlands, and other European nations Scotland, Ireland, England, and Wales United States Mexico and Central America Caribbean Basin South America Africa Middle East India Indochina and Southeast Asia China Korea, Japan, and lesser Pacific Islands

Historical Dictionary of the Reformed Churches
Author: Robert Benedetto
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 1538130041
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 895
Book Description
As its name implies, the Reformed tradition grew out of the 16th century Protestant Reformation. The Reformed churches consider themselves to be the Catholic Church reformed. The movement originated in the reform efforts of Huldrych Zwingli (1484-1531) of Zurich and John Calvin (1509-1564) of Geneva. Although the Reformed movement was dependent upon many Protestant leaders, it was Calvin's tireless work as a writer, preacher, teacher, and social and ecclesiastical reformer that provided a substantial body of literature and an ethos from which the Reformed tradition grew. Today, the Reformed churches are a multicultural, multiethnic, and multinational phenomenon. Historical Dictionary of the Reformed Churches, Third Edition contains a chronology, an introduction, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has more than 1,000 cross-referenced entries on leaders, personalities, events, facts, movements, and beliefs of the Reformed churches. This book is an excellent resource for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about reformed churches.

The History of Ecuador
Author: George M. Lauderbaugh
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
ISBN: 0313362513
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 222
Book Description
This handbook provides an unmatched, comprehensive political history of Ecuador written in English. Ecuador is a nation of over 13 million people, its area between that of the states of Wyoming and Colorado. Like the United States, Ecuador's government features a democratically elected President serving for a four-year term. The Galápagos Islands, well known as the birthplace of Darwin's Theory of Evolution, are part of a province of Ecuador. The History of Ecuador focuses primarily on the political history of Ecuador and how these past events impact the nation today. This text examines the traditions established by Ecuador's great caudillos (strong men) such as Juan José Flores, Gabriel García Moreno, and Eloy Alfaro, and documents the attempts of liberal leaders to modernize Ecuador by following the example of the United States. This book also discusses three economic booms in Ecuador's history: the Cacao Boom 1890–1914; the Banana Boom 1948–1960; and the Oil Boom 1972–1992.

From Jerusalem to Irian Jaya

Publisher: Zondervan Academic
ISBN: 0310830621
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 531
Book Description
This is history at its best. From Jerusalem to Irian Jaya is readable, informative, gripping, and above all honest. From Jerusalem to Irian Jaya helps readers understand the life and role of a missionary through real life examples of missionaries throughout history. We see these men and women as fallible and human in their failures as well as their successes. These great leaders of missions are presented as real people, and not super-saints. This second edition covers all 2,000 years of mission history with a special emphasis on the modern era, including chapters focused on the Muslim world, Third World missions, and a comparison of missions in Korea and Japan. It also contains both a general and an “illustration” index where readers can easily locate particular missionaries, stories, or incidents. New design graphics, photographs, and maps help make this a compelling book. From Jerusalem to Irian Jaya is as informative and intriguing as it is inspiring—an invaluable resource for missionaries, mission agencies, students, and all who are concerned about the spreading of the gospel throughout the world.

All We Need Is a Pair of Pliers
Author: Mark Richard
Publisher: Morgan James Publishing
ISBN: 1631952250
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 284
Book Description
The inspiring story of how God saved a rebellious young man and inspired him to help countless others through his international wheelchair organization. Mark Richard was in his early teens when his parents divorced. From then on, he and his brothers grew up with minimal parental supervision. He also struggled with undiagnosed learning disabilities which led to failures in school. These circumstances led Mark to a rime of rebellion during the days of the hippy culture and drugs. Yet, throughout it all, Mark always sought something “more” in his life. Miraculously, God caught Mark’s attention and he was saved. Though he was totally unqualified for the ministry that God planned for him, he followed the path with faith and courage. If Mark had taken others’ advice, he would never have driven a trailer full of wheelchairs to Guatemala in 1988. But over time, that act of obedience grew into a ministry that has impacted hundreds of thousands. All We Need is a Pair of Pliers shows how Mark developed The Beeline, an organization that offers appropriate wheelchair to the millions across the globe who need them. Throughout its pages, readers learn that all they need to say is, “You know what, I think God can use me!”
