Book Charles Simeon of Cambridge

Download or read book Charles Simeon of Cambridge written by J. E. M. Cameron and published by . This book was released on 2019-04-04 with total page 49 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This short book, magnificently researched, brings a wealth of insight into one of the most important figures in modern church history, Charles Simeon (1759-1836), a contemporary and friend of William Wilberforce, who was vicar of Holy Trinity Church, Cambridge, for over fifty years. He left an indelible mark on the Church of England, and on world mission, and his legacy stretches down to us today. Intervarsity/USA, Inter-Varsity Canada, and the American and Canadian Bible Societies trace their roots back to him. More than 150 years later, John Stott would say that Simeon taught him to preach. ""Charles Simeon was the most influential evangelical in the age of Wilberforce--a powerful influence over successive generations of Cambridge ordinands. Here is an attractive vignette of a great preacher and a great man."" --David Bebbington, Professor of History, University of Stirling ""Charles Simeon's commitment to expository preaching, personal godliness, and global mission is inspiring. I pray it will continue to influence evangelical ministry for generations to come."" --Vaughan Roberts, Rector, St Ebbe's Church, Oxford ""Charles Simeon's galvanizing life can be summed up by his passion: 'to know nothing among you save Jesus Christ and Him crucified.' Julia Cameron's accessible introduction allows us to taste of Simeon's devotion to prayer, preaching, and future generations. Cameron gives us a marvelous framework of Simeon, his essence as a follower of Jesus, and an essential, compressed narrative to appreciate Simeon's role in how God advances His work in this world."" --Benjamin K. Homan, President, Langham Partnership USA (formerly John Stott Ministries) ""Julia Cameron's short book is a good introduction to Charles Simeon of Cambridge, whose decades-long commitment to excellent preaching powerfully influenced the early nineteenth-century English Church struggling for relevance in a society both ignorant and contemptuous of biblical Christianity. This book will thus encourage today's Christians everywhere. Her emphasis that renewed vitality in the church is inseparable from commitment both to biblically faithful theology and to the global Church is welcome and timely."" --Steven Van Dyck, Executive Director, Langham Partnership Canada Julia Cameron (Aberdeen) was Director of Publishing for EFAC. She served for twenty-five years as an obituarist for The Times and The Independent and is a contributor to the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography. She lives in Oxford, and is author of John Stott's Right Hand: The Untold Story of Frances Whitehead (2014) and the Oxford and Cambridge Reformation Walking Tour (2018).

Download or read book Cambridgeshire Customs and Folklore RLE Folklore written by Enid Porter and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2020-07-26 with total page 504 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Enid Porter spent many years collecting and recording from Cambridgeshire people the folk beliefs and customs held and observed in the country, both past and present. The subjects covered in the book, first published in 1969, range from the folklore of courtship, marriage, birth and death, of trees and plants and the whole world of nature to traditional Cambridgeshire food and drink; from ghosts and witchcraft and the cure of disease to charity and land-letting customs. The traditional occupations of the county, as well as the dress worn by the workers in the various crafts and the tools and implements they used, are also recorded, and there are accounts of various Cambridgeshire sports and pastimes. There is a section on University customs, ranging from the ancient procedure observed at examinations and degree ceremonies, through College Stamps and Mock Funerals, to the appointment made formerly of a Christmas Lord in the Colleges. Miss Porter spent most of her life in Cambridge and her mother’s family have lived there since the sixteenth century, so she includes information based on her own observations and on those of members of her family. The Fenland material has largely been provided by W. H. Barrett, well known through his collections of Fen Tales.

Book A History of Preaching Volume 1

Download or read book A History of Preaching Volume 1 written by O.C. Edwards, Jr. and published by Abingdon Press. This book was released on 2010-09-01 with total page 1073 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A History of Preachingbrings together narrative history and primary sources to provide the most comprehensive guide available to the story of the church's ministry of proclamation. Bringing together an impressive array of familiar and lesser-known figures, Edwards paints a detailed, compelling picture of what it has meant to preach the gospel. Pastors, scholars, and students of homiletics will find here many opportunities to enrich their understanding and practice of preaching. Volume 1, appearing in the print edition, contains Edwards's magisterial retelling of the story of Christian preaching's development from its Hellenistic and Jewish roots in the New Testament, through the late-twentieth century's discontent with outdated forms and emphasis on new modes of preaching such as narrative. Along the way the author introduces us to the complexities and contributions of preachers, both with whom we are already acquainted, and to whom we will be introduced here for the first time. Origen, Chrysostom, Augustine, Bernard, Aquinas, Luther, Calvin, Wesley, Edwards, Rauschenbusch, Barth; all of their distinctive contributions receive careful attention. Yet lesser-known figures and developments also appear, from the ninth-century reform of preaching championed by Hrabanus Maurus, to the reference books developed in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries by the mendicant orders to assist their members' preaching, to Howell Harris and Daniel Rowlands, preachers of the eighteenth-century Welsh revival, to Helen Kenyon, speaking as a layperson at the 1950 Yale Beecher lectures about the view of preaching from the pew. Volume 2, contained on the enclosed CD-ROM, contains primary source material on preaching drawn from the entire scope of the church's twenty centuries. The author has written an introduction to each selection, placing it in its historical context and pointing to its particular contribution. Each chapter in Volume 2 is geared to its companion chapter in Volume 1's narrative history. Ecumenical in scope, fair-minded in presentation, appreciative of the contributions that all the branches of the church have made to the story of what it means to develop, deliver, and listen to a sermon, A History of Preachingwill be the definitive resource for anyone who wishes to preach or to understand preaching's role in living out the gospel. "...'This work is expected to be the standard text on preaching for the next 30 years,' says Ann K. Riggs, who staffs the NCC's Faith and Order Commission. Author Edwards, former professor of preaching at Seabury-Western Theological Seminary, is co-moderator of the commission, which studies church-uniting and church-dividing issues. 'A History of Preaching is ecumenical in scope and will be relevant in all our churches; we all participate in this field,' says Riggs...." from EcuLink, Number 65, Winter 2004-2005 published by the National Council of Churches
