Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Why and How of Foreign Missions Foreign missions are the realization of the world program of the Church of God, the International mind upon the highest level, and the emancipation of the Church from the pargghial and provincial into the wide spaces of the Kingdom of God. The Church was slow to realize its full mission, but gradually the splendid conception of a world-con quering gospel became clearer. Today the foreign missionary enterprise is the vastest work of the Church, as the facts that are given on other pages. Abundantly prove.

Download or read book Church Missions Classic Reprint written by Colonel Lowry and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-01-06 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Church Missions This is the symbolizing of a real Church Mission. The giant upon whose shoulders is seated the Infant Saviour is the nation to whom, for the time, Christ has committed the office of evangelizing the world. It is a heavy duty, and the bearer bends under the weight of it; but in the act of performing it, he has acquired the strength to perform it. His proportions are already gigantic; he out-tops by the head and shoulders all the figures that are around him his limbs seem capable of sustaining far more than the weight they carry; and the fir tree, uprooted from where it grew beside his path - that is to say, the natural advantages which present them selves in the very path of his duty - supports his steps; for, be it observed, he is not taking a devious or arbitrary course, but follow ing the beaten path - the path marked out to him by the Eternal Wisdom, and direct Revelation of God. The remainder of the picture explains itself; it is the natural fruit of his labors. He carries the true Christ, and high and low, rich and poor, young and old, kings and subjects, priests and shep herds, alike blessed by the outstretched Hand, crowd after the giant that bears it. Willingly and cheerfully they swell his retinue, and contribute to his earthly pomp and glory. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Concise History of Missions The history of missions is the history of the extension of Christianity. It is thus a depart ment of general church history, and cannot be fully understood except as its relations to other departments are kept in mind. The progress of the Church has been by no means uniform. There have been periods of special missionary activity, others in which doctrinal statement, ecclesiastical organization, the consolidation and strengthening of church life, have absorbed attention. Each, however, has had its in uence on all the others, and the work as a whole has a unity which can only be realized as one takes a survey of the whole field. Such a survey it is the purpose of this book to give. There is no detailed statement of different epochs or of the various phases Of mission work. The aim is rather to indicate the general char acter of the epochs, show the mutual relation and in uence of the phases, and thus make it some what easier to place correctly the details as we come across them elsewhere. To use the phrase of one who has himself done much to help in the general knowledge of missions, Mr. John R. Mott, it lays the rails that connect the remoter sections and make passage from one to another possible. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Decisive Hour of Christian Missions Classic Reprint written by John R. Mott and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-05 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Decisive Hour of Christian Missions The World Missionary Conference held in Edinburgh in June of the present year constituted in its plan, in its personnel, in the spirit which characterized it, and in its promise, the most significant gathering ever held in the interest of the world's evangelization. In preparation for the Conference eight representative international Commissions has been at work for over eighteen months making a scientific investigation and study of some of the most pressing and vital problems of Christian missions. Associated with these Commissions as correspondents were the principal missionaries and leaders of the Church on the mission fields, as well as many of the foremost thinkers and workers of the missionary forces at home. The reports resulting from these special investigations have afforded a very comprehensive presentation of the facts about the main aspects of the missionary situation. Those who have had opportunity to examine the mass of evidence gathered by the Commissions and to listen to the discussions of the reports at the Edinburgh Conference must have been impressed with the fact that the present is the decisive hour of Christian missions. In the history of Christianity there has never been such a remarkable conjunction of opportunities and crises on all the principal mission fields and of favoring circumstances and possibilities on the home field.

Download or read book The Grand Chessboard written by Zbigniew Brzezinski and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2016-12-06 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bestselling author and eminent foreign policy scholar Zbigniew Brzezinski's classic book on American's strategic mission in the modern world. In The Grand Chessboard, renowned geostrategist Zbigniew Brzezinski delivers a brutally honest and provocative vision for American preeminence in the twenty-first century. The task facing the United States, he argues, is to become the sole political arbiter in Eurasian lands and to prevent the emergence of any rival power threatening our material and diplomatic interests. The Eurasian landmass, home to the greatest part of the globe's population, natural resources, and economic activity, is the "grand chessboard" on which America's supremacy will be ratified and challenged in the years to come. In this landmark work of public policy and political science, Brzezinski outlines a groundbreaking and powerful blueprint for America's vital interests in the modern world. In this revised edition, Brzezinski addresses recent global developments including the war in Ukraine, the re-emergence of Russia, and the rise of China.
Download or read book Two Thousand Years of Missions Classic Reprint written by Lemuel Call Barnes and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-16 with total page 598 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Two Thousand Years of Missions It is said that Shakspere owed much of his broad mental vision to the accounts of the world's exploration made available in English by Richard Hakluyt and that Milton was still deeper in debt to the same work. A large outlook on God's world is the necessary basis of lofty inspiration. But the "Principal Navigations" of missionary enterprise have never been brought together in any one book or set of books. After preparing the copious bibliography of missions for the London Conference in 1888, Dr. Jackson, Secretary of the American Society of Church History, said in the journal of that society: We have some short histories which try to give an outline of the story: e. g., Mr. Smith's "Short History of Christian Missions.." . . But no one who is interested in the subject thinks of being satisfied with a few pages written at second hand on the story of the spread of Christianity during 1800 years. The list of slight but helpful sketches has been increased since 1888. On special fields, periods or phases of mission work discussions of great value and real scholarship have been published, e.g., Dennis' "Christian Missions and Social Progress" and Noble's "Redemption of Africa."

Download or read book Let the Nations be Glad written by John Piper and published by Inter-Varsity Press. This book was released on 2020-05-21 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Mission is not the ultimate goal of the church. Worship is. Missions exist because worship doesn't. Worship is ultimate.' John Piper's contemporary classic draws on key biblical texts to demonstrate that worship is the ultimate goal of the church and that proper worship fuels missionary outreach. Piper offers a biblical defence of God's supremacy in all things, providing a sound theological foundation for missions. He examines whether Jesus is the only way to salvation and issues a passionate plea for God-centredness in the missionary enterprise, seeking to define the scope of the task and the means for reaching 'all nations'. Let the Nations Be Glad! is a trusted resource for missionaries, pastors, church leaders, youth workers, seminary students, and all who want to connect their labours to God's global purposes. This third edition has been revised and expanded throughout and includes new material on the 'prosperity gospel'.

Is it not true that until recently the Roman Catholic Church alone possessed the imperial vision of the universal domin ion of our Lord and sought to make that vision a reality?

This book was released on 2006-09-17 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Finalist for the 2006 Gelber Prize: "A brilliant contribution to the American foreign policy debate."—Anatol Lieven, New York Times Book Review At a time when America's dominance abroad was being tested like never before, Taming American Power provided for the first time a "rigorous critique of current U.S. strategy" (Washington Post Book World) from the vantage point of its fiercest opponents. Stephen M. Walt examines America's place as the world's singular superpower and the strategies that rival states have devised to counter it. Hailed as a "landmark book" by Foreign Affairs, Taming American Power makes the case that this ever-increasing tide of opposition not only could threaten America's ability to achieve its foreign policy goals today but also may undermine its dominant position in years to come.
