Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Researches of the Rev. E. Smith and Rev. H. G. O. Dwight in Armenia, Vol. 1 of 2: Including a Journey Through Asia Minor, and Into Georgia and Persia, With a Visit to the Nestorian and Chaldean Christians of Oormiah and Salmas A large of territory, in the countries lying around the Mediterranean, had been surveyed by the missionaries of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions, before Messrs. Smith and Dwight entered upon the tour described in these volumes. Messrs. Fisk and Parsons, in the year 1820, had traversed the country embracing the Seven Churches of Asia. Messrs. Fisk and King had ascended the Nile, as far as Thebes in Upper Egypt, in 1823. Messrs. Parsons, Fisk, King, Bird, Goodell, and Smith had, at different times, explored the whole of Palestine and the greater part of Syria, within the years 1821 - 1827. In 1827 Mr. Gridley travelled from Smyrna into Cappadocia; and in that year and the two following, Messrs. Brewer, King, Smith and Anderson, visited the Peloponnesus and the more important of the Ionian and AEgean islands. Tripoli and Tunis, on the northern coast of Africa, were visited by Mr. Bird in 1829. These investigations, together with those of missionaries employed by other societies, had laid open the religious and moral condition of the Coptic, Maronite, and Greek churches to the minute observation of their brethren in this western world. Some sects there were, however, having their principal residence farther east, of which, though enough was known to excite interest, there was not enough to determine definitely what should be attempted for their spiritual improvement. Such, among others, were the Armenians, Georgians, Nestorians and Chaldeans. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

By the side of the others, which were all under-ground cabins, it seemed a large and venerable building. The Upper story, built of wood with a shingled roof, was indeed in ruins, but the lower part was solidly constructed of stone. Besides an arched portico in front, it consisted of two large apart ments, each of which was covered with a lofty dome, and had no window to admit the light, nor chimney to let out the smoke, except a round aperture at the top. Directly be neath it in the centre of the room, the place for a fire was indicated only by a circle of hewn stone on a level with the rest of the oor, which was likewise of stone.

Download or read book A History of Christianity in Asia Vol II written by Samuel Hugh Moffett and published by Orbis Books. This book was released on 2014-07-30 with total page 702 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of Christianity in the West has often been told, but the history of Christianity in the East is not as well known. The seed was the same: the good news of Jesus Christ for the whole world, which Christians call "the gospel." But it was sown by different sowers; it was planted in different soil; it grew with a different flavor; and it was gathered by different reapers. It is too often forgotten that the faith moved east across Asia as early as it moved west into Europe. Western church history tends to follow Paul to Philippi and to Rome and on across Europe to the conversion of Constantine and the barbarians. With some outstanding exceptions, only intermittently has the West looked beyond Constantinople as its center. It was a Christianity that has for centuries remained unashamedly Asian. A History of Christianity in Asia makes available immense amounts of research on religious pluralism of Asia and how Christianity spread long before the modern missionary movement went forth in the shelter of Western military might. Invaluable for historians of Asia and scholars of mission, it is stimulating for all readers interested in Christian history. --

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eighteenth and nineteenth century European, British and American newspapers constitute a rich and largely untapped source of contemporary, often eyewitness accounts of historical events and opinions concerning Iran from the late Safavid (1712) through the Qajar (c. 1797-1920) period. This study collects and annotates thousands of articles published in the Colonial and early Republican American newspapers, from the first mention of events in Persia in the American press (1712) to the death of Mohammad Shah (1848), unlocking for the first time a wealth of information on Iran and its place in the world during the 18th and early 19th century.

Download or read book Reclaiming a Plundered Past written by Magnus T. Bernhardsson and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2005 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The looting of the Iraqi National Museum in April of 2003 provoked a world outcry at the loss of artifacts regarded as part of humanity's shared cultural patrimony. But though the losses were unprecedented in scale, the museum looting was hardly the first time that Iraqi heirlooms had been plundered or put to political uses. From the beginning of archaeology as a modern science in the nineteenth century, Europeans excavated and appropriated Iraqi antiquities as relics of the birth of Western civilization. Since Iraq was created in 1921, the modern state has used archaeology to forge a connection to the ancient civilizations of Mesopotamia and/or Islamic empires and so build a sense of nationhood among Iraqis of differing religious traditions and ethnicities. This book delves into the ways that archaeology and politics intertwined in Iraq during the British Mandate and the first years of nationhood before World War II. Magnus Bernhardsson begins with the work of British archaeologists who conducted extensive excavations in Iraq and sent their finds to the museums of Europe. He then traces how Iraqis' growing sense of nationhood led them to confront the British over antiquities law and the division of archaeological finds between Iraq and foreign excavators. He shows how Iraq's control over its archaeological patrimony was directly tied to the balance of political power and how it increased as power shifted to the Iraqi government. Finally he examines how Iraqi leaders, including Saddam Hussein, have used archaeology and history to legitimize the state and its political actions.
Download or read book Armenian Christianity Today written by Alexander Agadjanian and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-15 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Armenian Christianity Today examines contemporary religious life and the social, political, and cultural functions of religion in the post-Soviet Republic of Armenia and in the Armenian Diaspora worldwide. Scholars from a range of countries and disciplines explore current trends and everyday religiosity, particularly within the Armenian Apostolic Church (AAC), and amongst Armenian Catholics, Protestants and vernacular religions. Themes examined include: Armenian grass-roots religiosity; the changing forms of regular worship and devotion; various types of congregational life; and the dynamics of social composition of both the clergy and lay believers. Exploring through the lens of Armenia, this book considers wider implications of ’postsecular’ trends in the role of global religion.
