Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Christianity in a New World OF the peculiar responsibility that the Christian Church faces in these days of readjustment and reconstruction, the Baptists of the Northern States have their full share. These responsibilities are indeed emphasized, if not increased, by the changes which we have recently made in our organization, and as a result of which we enter into closer co operation than before in the accomplishment of our denominational task. It was with these things in mind that this volume of essays and addresses was planned and under taken. Loving our denomination and earnestly de siring that it shall do its full duty in this hour of peril-fraught Opportunity, we offer this volume to our brethren in the hope that, in some small mea sure at least, it may contribute to that knowledge of the history of our religion and that apprehension of its essential elements which are needed to enable us to interpret this time and serve our generation as our fathers served theirs. Most of the chapters of this book were written especially for publication in it. The few which were originally delivered as public addresses, though bear ing the marks of their special occasion, have lost none of their significance by the lapse of time since their delivery.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Christian World Unmasked: With Life of the Author John Berridge, the author of this book, was, along with some others of his day, the salt of the Church of England, and an instrument in God's hand of working revivals of religion within her pale worthy of record with those that his compeers Whitefield and Wesley wrought without her. He was born in 1716, but not born again till he had entered the ministry. His studies were carried on at Cambridge, where he gave early proof of his native energy, and that what he did, as was said by an old woman of Dr. Chalmers, he did with all his heart. At that seat of learning, where he gained the honors and emoluments of a Fellowship, he passed for many years fifteen hours a day in hard study, ranging-over all the fields of knowledge, and strengthening by such vigorous exercise faculties of no ordinary power.

This book was released on 2017-10-23 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Christian Life in the Modern World These questions have created in many thoughtful minds a profound sense of perplexity, and even of alarm. The world which confronts a modern man is very different from the provincial and primitive environment of the New Testament teaching; but even though this new world is less likely than that of Crete to produce liars, beasts, and glut tons, it seems quite as hard to adjust to the maxims of the Christian Gospel. A modern man, for example, finds himself compelled by circum stances to devote two-thirds of his waking hours to the making of his living and the securing of a margin of income, but when he turns, in some hastily snatched interval, to the New Testament,4 the christian life IN the modern world.

This book was released on 2018-02-21 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Christian Idea in the Modern World A large number of people, both young and old, brought up under the influence of historic Christianity, have begun seriously to question whether the Christian Idea is fitted to the actual conditions of our modern world. The distance seems to widen between the idealism of far-away Galilee and the battle-ground of life today. The Christian Idea seems to many people to be true neither to the facts of human nature nor to the facts of human life. The contrast is sharpened by those who insist that Jesus' teaching of love outlaws the use of force, inculcates literal non-resistance, and insists on peace at any cost. To vindicate the reasonableness and practicability of the Christian Idea, to show that it is the only one which does justice to all the elements of human nature, and is the only one which can be trusted to deal adequately with the prob lems of our modern world, is the purpose of these chapters. The material in this book was used originally in sermons and addresses by the author. It has been entirely revised for the present publication.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Secret of Progress Buckle1 regarded it as clear that militarism and high intellectual development were not compatible: till recently, many people were prepared to believe that warfare was alien to the interest of civilised peoples and could only occur among half civilised or backward races. But this war has shown that these hopes were vain, and that the last result of civilisation was not to render war impossible, but to give the means of carrying it out on a vastly extended scale. The increase of knowledge and of power over nature, and the sense of the benefits of intercourse and inter-communication have not sufficed to give us any immunity from war.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Christian Way in a Changing World Our present confusion is further increased by a horde of theories unrelated to Christianity which are offering what is advertised to be a way out. An unsettled public mind is in a mood to accept, out of sheer desperation, what at another time it would see reasons to reject. The danger from this angle is amply proved and should not be min imized. Our age should try the spirits to see Whether they be of God.

Download or read book Marks of a World Christian Classic Reprint written by Daniel Johnson Fleming and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Marks of a World Christian Internationalism has always been implicit in Christianity. During three great eras of Christian expansion this internationalism became consciously explicit in the Church's outreach to non-Christian lands. An analysis of the missionary consciousness back of these great movements ought to yield certain fundamental elements that should characterize every Christian. We turn to what, historically, has been Christianity's highest expression in order to see more clearly the mind which each Christian should bring to bear upon the world. Throughout this little book it has been assumed that, ideally, there is no difference between the Christian and the world Christian. Being a Christian is not a matter of the here or the there of an act or an attitude, but refers to a certain characteristic response which is independent of geography. It is hoped that these studies will help both individuals and churches in self-examination. The analysis found in these successive chapters does not attempt to be exhaustive, but certain outstanding elements have been chosen for consideration. One or another of these nine "marks" will probably need emphasized development, in order that the spirit which we bring to the world's great problems may be both Christian and international.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Christian World, Vol. 15: January to December, 1864 Peru under the Incas was vastly greater in extent of territory than the present republic of that name. While this comprises in length less than nineteen degrees of latitude, that stretched over nearly fort-y de grees, extending from two or three degrees north of the equator to thirty-seven south. In breadth the limit cannot now be accurately traced. It is only known that it spread from the shores of the Pacific quite beyond the Andes. When invaded by Pizarro, 1524, the Peruvians were found possessed ofa degree of comfort, culture and orderly government which we, at this day, contemplate with amazement, and can, with difficulty, even Credit. Indeed we should look upon the accounts of the earlier his toriens as largely fanciful, were they not corroborated by remains of their civilized achievements which still exist, and by similar facts among the Pagans of China and Japan of the present day.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The World for Christ This book, The World for Christ, is a valuable addition to the large literature inspired by the modern missionary movement. Delivered as a course of lectures by an eminent Congregational minister, upon a foundation established in a Methodist university by an honored member of the Reformed Church, it is one of many indications that the larger service of the divine kingdom is the sure way to the unity of Christians. That universities and colleges should incorporate with their courses of instruction the study of Christianity, its nature and history, its methods and outlook, is eminently natural, and even necessary. They are themselves, for the most part, the creation of the Church, and continue under its fostering care.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Jesus Christ and the World Today The aim of these studies is to seek in and through the mind and experience of Jesus Christ the way of life for individuals, churches, classes, and nations that shall lead toward a solution of our present problems. We believe that Jesus Christ is the hope of the world; the studies assume this belief and attempt to analyze its implications for the world today. They do not attempt, how ever, to present an economic or political program. We believe that such programs are very definitely the concern of Christians, but intelligent discus sion of programs must follow a clear analysis of our personal share in social wrongs and of the kind of relationships we should try to express in our economic and political life. Just as the preparation of these studies was begun, The Untried Door, by the Reverend Rich ard Roberts, came to us. We read it with a deep sense of agreement and gratitude. We must ex press our indebtedness, also, to the late Walter Rauschenbusch whose Christianity and the Social Crisis translated for us several years ago the hope of the Kingdom into terms of modern life.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Living Christianity: Or Old Truths Restated It has long been a cherished hope of the author that he might be able to state the great essential doctrines of the common salvation - that is, the saving truths of the gospel - in such form as would commend them to the judgment and the cordial acceptation of God's chil dren in all evangelical denominations. This volume is the contribution of a Presbyterian to that wider Christian ity of the ancient past, and also of the future, in which it is hoped all evangelical Christians will ere long stand nearer together than they now stand, because they will learn to look less at their points of difference and more at the great principles of their common salvation. What the world needs is a living Christianity, and the Church can render it no better service than by proclaiming anew those old truths which are vital and saving.
