Global Protestant Missions
Author: Jenna M. Gibbs
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 0429647298
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 255
Book Description
The book investigates facets of global Protestantism through Anglican, Quaker, Episcopalian, Moravian, Lutheran Pietist, and Pentecostal missions to enslaved and indigenous peoples and political reform endeavours in a global purview that spans the 1730s to the 1930s. The book uses key examples to trace both the local and the global impacts of this multi-denominational Christian movement. The essays in this volume explore three of the critical ways in which Protestant communities were established and became part of a worldwide network: the founding of far-flung missions in which Western missionaries worked alongside enslaved and indigenous converts; the interface between Protestant outreach and political reform endeavours such as abolitionism; and the establishment of a global epistolary through print communication networks. Demonstrating how Protestantism came to be both global and ecumenical, this book will be a key resource for scholars of religious history, religion and politics, and missiology as well as those interested in issues of postcolonialism and imperialism.

A new epic of alien invasion and human resistance by Hugo Award-winning author Will McIntosh.

Book Description
The ancient world reveres and dreads the fierce ha-mazaans. Now, an Oracle has prophesied their destruction. Heir to the Defender’s Throne in the refugee city of Themiscyra, Cyra is eager to fulfill her role as protector of the ha-mazaan sisterhood. Instead, she is betrayed, kidnapped as war-bounty, and shipwrecked with a handful of warriors in a foreign, hostile land. As Cyra leads her people on a perilous odyssey home, she is forced to choose between new love and old loyalties, and between the old ways and the future she was promised—a future she considers a curse. Too late, Cyra will discover that those she trusts most are pursuing destinies of their own, and some will stop at nothing to see their treacherous prophecies fulfilled. Will Cyra yield to her promised fate when the future of the ha-mazaans depends on it? And if she does, will the legendary story of the greatest women warriors the world has ever known be lost to history forever?

The Defender
Author: Ethan Michaeli
Publisher: Houghton Mifflin Harcourt
ISBN: 0547560877
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 884
Book Description
This “extraordinary history” of the influential black newspaper is “deeply researched, elegantly written [and] a towering achievement” (Brent Staples, New York Times Book Review). In 1905, Robert S. Abbott started printing The Chicago Defender, a newspaper dedicated to condemning Jim Crow and encouraging African Americans living in the South to join the Great Migration. Smuggling hundreds of thousands of copies into the most isolated communities in the segregated South, Abbott gave voice to the voiceless, galvanized the electoral power of black America, and became one of the first black millionaires in the process. His successor wielded the newspaper’s clout to elect mayors and presidents, including Harry S. Truman and John F. Kennedy, who would have lost in 1960 if not for The Defender’s support. Drawing on dozens of interviews and extensive archival research, Ethan Michaeli constructs a revelatory narrative of journalism and race in America, bringing to life the reporters who braved lynch mobs and policemen’s clubs to do their jobs, from the age of Teddy Roosevelt to the age of Barack Obama. “[This] epic, meticulously detailed account not only reminds its readers that newspapers matter, but so do black lives, past and present.” —USA Today
