Seventy-Five Years in the Madura Mission
Author: John S. Chandler
Publisher: Forgotten Books
ISBN: 9780267107421
Category : Reference
Languages : en
Pages : 560
Book Description
Excerpt from Seventy-Five Years in the Madura Mission: A History of the Mission in South India Under the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions, Boston, Massachusetts, U. S. A This history has been prepared by request of the M adura Mission. It has been carried through under certain limitations, especially those of time, expense and material. The time necessary for preparation, investigation, writing and publishing has had to come out of the multifarious duties Of a missionary's busy life. All expenses had to be kept Within the limits of great moderation. Materials are abundant, but of very uneven proportions. Certain periods, and certain phases of work are abundantly supplied, while others Of equal or greater importance have very meagre materials from which to draw. Effort has been made to group events in their relations and sequences in some due proportion to their importance; It has not been possible to apportion the illustrations accord ing to merit or importance, some desirable ones being impossible to Obtain, and others being too expensive. At the Same time such as were available have been used to illustrate interesting persons and Objects. For a few of these we are indebted to the kindness of friends. Quotations from many writers scattered through 75 years cannot all be harmonised into a uniform Spelling or use of words, especially names, for these have changed considerably during the years under review. For example the terms. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at www.forgottenbooks.com This book is a reproduction of an important historical work. Forgotten Books uses state-of-the-art technology to digitally reconstruct the work, preserving the original format whilst repairing imperfections present in the aged copy.

A History of Christianity in Indonesia
Author: Jan Sihar Aritonang
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 900417026X
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 1021
Book Description
Indonesia is the home of the largest single Muslim community of the world. Its Christian community, about 10% of the population, has until now received no overall description in English. Through cooperation of 26 Indonesian and European scholars, Protestants and Catholics, a broad and balanced picture is given of its 24 million Christians. This book sketches the growth of Christianity during the Portuguese period (1511-1605), it presents a fair account of developments under the Dutch colonial administration (1605-1942) and is more elaborate for the period of the Indonesian Republic (since 1945). It emphasizes the regional differences in this huge country, because most Christians live outside the main island of Java. Muslim-Christian relations, as well as the tensions between foreign missionaries and local theology, receive special attention.

Reproductive Politics and the Making of Modern India
Author: Mytheli Sreenivas
Publisher: University of Washington Press
ISBN: 0295748850
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 285
Book Description
Open-access edition: DOI 10.6069/9780295748856 Beginning in the late nineteenth century, India played a pivotal role in global conversations about population and reproduction. In Reproductive Politics and the Making of Modern India, Mytheli Sreenivas demonstrates how colonial administrators, postcolonial development experts, nationalists, eugenicists, feminists, and family planners all aimed to reform reproduction to transform both individual bodies and the body politic. Across the political spectrum, people insisted that regulating reproduction was necessary and that limiting the population was essential to economic development. This book investigates the often devastating implications of this logic, which demonized some women’s reproduction as the cause of national and planetary catastrophe. To tell this story, Sreenivas explores debates about marriage, family, and contraception. She also demonstrates how concerns about reproduction surfaced within a range of political questions—about poverty and crises of subsistence, migration and claims of national sovereignty, normative heterosexuality and drives for economic development. Locating India at the center of transnational historical change, this book suggests that Indian developments produced the very grounds over which reproduction was called into question in the modern world. The open-access edition of Reproductive Politics and the Making of Modern India is freely available thanks to the TOME initiative and the generous support of The Ohio State University Libraries.
