Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Hundred Years of Missions: The Story of Progress Since Carey's Beginning IT is sometimes a question how far an introduction helps the book it introduces. If the author is well known he needs no such formal entrance into the literary world if he is as yet unfamiliar to a wide circle of readers, his book itself is his best recommendation. Dickens used to say that it was an easy thing to come out into society, but a difficult thing to prevent going in again. And so a book or an author that proves unworthy Of the introduction to the public, can not long float, notwithstanding the outside supports in tended to give it buoyancy. In the case of the author of this volume, introductory words seem doubly needless, inasmuch as he has for years earned his right to the public ear. Aside from his well-known service to Home missions in the superintend ence of this work in Utah and surrounding territory for six years, he has for several years been one Of the editorial staff Of T he [missionary Review of tire World; and has won his way to the readers, the world over, by his facile pen, his scholarly research, his high ideals of service, his accurate historical knowledge, and his vigorous style. The outline Of thought covered in this Hundred Years of Missions, is unique, and has been followed in no other book Of which we know. There will be found here a review of the century's work in this and other lands, which will both instruct and invigorate the reader.

Download or read book A History of Christian Missions written by Stephen Neill and published by National Geographic Books. This book was released on 1991-05-17 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A History of Christian Missions traces the expansion of Christianity from its origins in the Middle East to Rome, the rest of Europe and the colonial world, and assesses its position as a major religious force worldwide. Many of the world’s religions have not actively sought converts, largely because they have been too regional in character. Buddhism, Islam and Christianity, however, are the three chief exceptions to this, and Christianity in particular has found a home in almost every country in the world. Professor Stephen Neill’s comprehensive and authoritative survey examines centuries of missionary activity, beginning with Christ and working through the Crusades and the colonization of Asia and Africa up to the present day, concluding with a shrewd look ahead to what the future may hold for the Christian Church.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Appearing for the first time in English, these stories express the anguish and courage of women from their different classes and regions as they recognize their common restlessness and forge a new consciousness." —Booklist " . . . provocative . . . Although not all the pieces are outwardly political, there is a political edge to the book; the tone of the stories is bleak as they tell of Brazilian women's struggles with government, society, men and their own private demons. Sadlier's able translations retain a distinctive voice and style for each writer." —Publishers Weekly "Sadlier . . . has done a service to students of Comparative Literature and Women's Studies as well as to general readers who sincerely want to know what literature of quality is being written in that all-too-rarely studied Portuguese language of Brazil." —Revista de Estudios Hispanicos "The pieces . . . convey . . . the evolution in the consciousness of the writers, their sense of themselves, and their place in society as well as the changes affecting Brazil's political climate and society at large during this century." —Review of Contemporary Fiction "A superb addition to the increasing number of anthologies dedicated to Brazilian literature." —Choice "A must for any modern literary collection." —WLW Journal Women writers have revolutionized Brazilian literature, and this impressive collection will provide English readers with a window on this revolution. These twenty previously untranslated selections by some of Brazil's most important writers illustrate the remarkable power of women's voices and the important contributions they have made to twentieth-century literature.
