Book Description
Excerpt from Scenes and Services in South Africa: The Story of Robert Moffat's Half-Century of Missionary Labours British Colonies, or in heathen lands, John Brown lee and Robert Mofi'at appear to be the only sur vivors. Thomas James, William Ellis, John Burnet, James Stratten, and William Urwick are gone and with them, Charles Barff and George Platt, of the South Seas, and, as need hardly be added, John Williams, the glorious Martyr Of Erromanga. Only a year before, John Morison, the subsequent biographer Of The Fathers and Founders Of the London Missionary Society, was set apart to the order which he long adorned, by the joint hands Of venerable men belonging to his own denomination, and to the principal churches Of his native country; but we have no hint, at that early day, Of' the future distinction Of his now eminent brother Scotchman, who simply informs us, in the preface to his principal publication, that John Williams and he were accepted by the Directors at the same time, and designated to the work Of God, at Surrey Chapel, on the same occasion.

Missionary families
Author: Emily Manktelow
Publisher: Manchester University Press
ISBN: 1526111527
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 405
Book Description
Missionary families were an integral component of the missionary enterprise, both as active agents on the global religious stage and as a force within the enterprise that shaped understandings and theories of mission itself. Taking the family as a legitimate unit of historical analysis in its own right for the first time, Missionary families traces changing familial policies and lived realities throughout the nineteenth century and powerfully argues for the importance of an historical understanding of the missionary enterprise informed by the complex interplay between the intimate, the personal and the professional. By looking at marriage, parenting and childhood; professionalism, vocation and domesticity; race, gender and generation, this first in-depth study of missionary families reveals their profound importance to the missionary enterprise, and concludes that mission history can no longer be written without attention to the personal, emotional and intimate aspects of missionary lives.

Mixed Messages: Materiality, Textuality, Missions
Author: J. Scott
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 1403982325
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 273
Book Description
This collection of essays looks at missions, their complicity in European colonialism, and their postcolonial aftermath. It examines the spread of Christianity, ranging over the anthropological, textual, historical, and geographical dimensions of mission enterprises, with topics as diverse as the influence of mission printing and record-keeping on traditional life in Africa to the role of missions in changing styles of dress in India. Also, uniquely, the collection includes essays analyzing the role of proselytizing in Islam, Hinduism, and Buddhism, as well as American liberal democratic capitalism. The volume is interdisciplinary, focusing on textual and material aspects of missions. Like Griffiths' earlier ground-breaking books in postcolonial studies, and Scott's well-known interdisciplinary work on missions and postcolonial literatures, this collection will be fascinating to scholars in postcolonial/cultural and mission studies and be useful as a teaching tool as well. Mixed Messages was listed among the 15 best books for 2005 in the Jan 2006 issue of The International Bulletin of Mission Studies .
