Flight during times of persecution has a long and fraught history in early Christianity. In the third century, bishops who fled were considered cowards or, worse yet, heretics. On the face, flight meant denial of Christ and thus betrayal of faith and community. But by the fourth century, the terms of persecution changed as Christianity became the favored cult of the Roman Empire. Prominent Christians who fled and survived became founders and influencers of Christianity over time. Bishops in Flight examines the various ways these episcopal leaders both appealed to and altered the discourse of Christian flight to defend their status as purveyors of Christian truth, even when their exiles appeared to condemn them. Their stories illuminate how profoundly Christian authors deployed theological discourse and the rhetoric of heresy to respond to the phenomenal political instability of the fourth and fifth centuries.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: BISHOPS RESOLUTION RESOLUTION 167-1962 was first established within the frame work of International Accords Documents for the purpose of establishing a special unit, comprising of not more than two individuals for the sole purpose of retrieving information on the actions of belligerent forces that was not attainable by traditional means. The unit was to only engage in informational acquisition determined by the superior officer and at the discretion of the Embassy Director. When this directive was written, no one ever thought they would have a man like Corporal Bishop attached to such a unit, but Major Tennyson thought he was the perfect man for the job. Bishop and his mates have driven headlong down the path that leads to destruction, at least for one freight house and a printing press thats being used to make counterfeit MPC to be shipped to the South to ruin its economy. And along the way the question arises, how does an East German get a newspaper article from the Wichita Gazette telling a story of something that happens in the South? New allegiances, a bunch of bad guys and a few turns make up this tale of intrigue. And yes, something to laugh at.

Download or read book Bishop Stephen Neill written by Dyron B. Daughrity and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2008 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bishop Stephen Neill (1900-1984) was one of the most gifted figures of world Christianity during the twentieth century. Once referred to as a «much-tempted, brilliant, enigmatic man» his voluminous writings reveal little about the scholar himself. From his birth in Edinburgh to his stellar student career in Cambridge to his meteoric rise through the clerical ranks in South India, Bishop Neill's life was also riddled with discord. Based on interviews and archival research in India and England, Bishop Stephen Neill: From Edinburgh to South India answers many of the questions surrounding this distinguished Christian statesman's conflicted life up to the abrupt and puzzling termination of his bishopric. This biographical work takes the reader deep into the life and times of one of the doyens of Christian missions. Intersecting with many remarkable personalities during the first half of his life - William Temple, Amy Carmichael, Malcolm Muggeridge, V. S. Azariah, A. D. Nock, Foss Westcott, and Verrier Elwin - Neill's legacy remains. Through his life, readers will enter into the interwoven contexts of India and England during the final decades of the British Raj. Students of Christian missions and world Christianity will find this book indispensable to their libraries.
