Download or read book Crossing Frontiers written by Helmut Lemke and published by Author House. This book was released on 2009-05-13 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Crossing Frontiers is an autobiography. It starts with a short historical background of the author’s home country, Germany, as it refers to his story. Growing up during the depression and under Hitler’s National Socialists, he saw the Third Reich rise and fall. He relates interesting and humorous events from his school time, his training in the Hitler youth, labor force and military. In riveting details, he describes his war experiences, his return to his home in search of his mother. He points out the dangers he encountered living under Russian and Polish rule and later being expelled. He describes the situation in Germany after the war, illustrating it from his experience in refugee camps in East Germany, and his escape to West Germany. He compares university life in Germany, where he studied for his degree in architecture and the USA where he studied on a scholarship for a year. He narrates his adventures, hitchhiking through the United States, masterfully. His story ends with his decision to immigrate to Canada.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Walls shows how the demographic transformation of the church has brought us to a new "Ephesian moment."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Der Band untersucht das Genre erstmals eingehend in seinen komplexen und vielschichtigen interkulturellen Auffächerungen, die sich in nationalspezifischen Western-Variationen finden. Er eröffnet interessante Perspektiven auf diesen film- und kulturgeschichtlich kaum erschlossenen Bereich. Ein Schwerpunkt gilt den verschiedenen nationalen Western-Varianten in Osteuropa. Beiträge von Spezialisten aus Polen, Tschechien und Russland arbeiten bislang unbekannte Übereinstimmungen und Differenzen im Gebrauch des Genres in den damals kommunistischen Ländern zu Tage. Deutlich wird dabei u.a., dass das ideologisch als anrüchig betrachtete, aber beim Publikum sehr beliebte Genre vor allem in Russland und Polen über die Intervention der Regierungen dazu diente, sowohl Kapitalismuskritik als auch Überhöhungen der eigenen Nationalkultur zu inszenieren. Darüber hinaus beinhaltet der Band auch Texte mit neuen Perspektiven auf den deutschen Western sowie auf Western-Variationen im französischen, britischen, australischen, indischen und afrikanischen Kino. Auch die vielfältigen Verbindungen zwischen Western und Eastern werden u.a. anhand internationaler Koproduktionen beleuchtet. Der Band betont die Vielschichtigkeit und Komplexität der interkulturellen Transformationen des Western, die sich von Europa über Lateinamerika und Afrika bis nach Australien und Asien nachweisen lassen. Dabei wird herausgearbeitet, wie Western-Elemente in sehr unterschiedlicher Weise zur Geltung kommen, um nationalspezifische Kulturmuster und Kommunikationszusammenhänge zu verhandeln.

Download or read book A Missiology of the Road written by J. Kevin Livingston and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2013-11-06 with total page 419 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: David Bosch (1929-1992) was one of the foremost mission theologians of the twentieth century, at once a prolific scholar, committed church leader, and active participant in the global conciliar and evangelical mission movements. Less well known is Bosch's distinctive role in the South African church's struggle against apartheid. After reviewing Bosch's background and exploring key themes in his understanding of mission and evangelism, Livingston explores Bosch's legacy from the perspective of the missionary nature of the church. The church is God's kingdom community, acting as a witness to and instrument of the coming reign of God. The church is God's alternative community, simultaneously set apart from the world but also for the sake of the world, exemplifying the radical implications of Christ's new community. The church is God's reconciled and reconciling community, serving as a sign and embodiment of God's love in Christ. For those acquainted with Bosch only as the author of his magisterial Transforming Mission, Livingston shows how Bosch integrated his theology and practice in a faithful, contextually relevant way within South Africa and the global church.
Download or read book New Frontiers of Christianity written by Ralph C. Raughley and published by New York, Association Press [c1962]. This book was released on 1962 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The tempo of thought, of intellectual advance, of spiritual adventure has quickened in Christianity no less than it has in astrophysics, medicine, international politics, and every other important phase of modern life. As isolated as so many Christians are, however, with inadequate intercommunication among our congregations, most of us have few opportunities for exposure to the heady air of exploration and enterprise. In some of our foremost pioneers—men whose imagination and daring are shaping the church of the coming decades—point out inspiring and profoundly thought-provoking vistas. The comfortable may be disturbed, and the self0satisfied, angered. The timid may be disconcerted or even frightened. All prophets have had that effect, and the authors of these chapters are present-day prophets. Very few will be able to ignore their challenges, and no one is likely to read these pages without a renewed appreciation of the continuing vitality of Christianity and of the tensions from which that vitality springs."-Publisher.

Download or read book Mission is Crossing Frontiers written by Roswith I. H. Gerloff and published by . This book was released on 2003-01-01 with total page 572 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book invites us into 'frontier-crossing' in three parts: The first is dedicated to the memory of a theological educator who influenced students and pastors in contextualising theology, liberating them from western-only concepts, building bridges over racial and cultural divides, and encouraging learner-centred dialogical education. The second shares with us some of his own writings, especially on pastoral training and intercultural learning in Birmingham (UK) and Umlazi, Durban, rendering culture a starting point for church and mission. The third, the 'Legacy', raises awareness of various contemporary issues such as African Christianity as a new religion, the significance of new religious movements, especially African Indigenous Churches, the impact of the African Diaspora on Europe, liberating theological education, listening to women's voices, diasporic identity as hybridity, and interreligious dialogue. It may serve as a textbook for transcending barriers, not only in content but also in critical methodology.

Azariah (1874-1945), the first Indian bishop of an Anglican diocese and the most successful leader of rural conversion movements to Christianity in modern India.

Download or read book Witness To The World written by David J. Bosch and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2006-10-01 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A great deal of uncertainty exists in the church as to what mission really is. The shifts in political power, away from the traditionally Christian West; the call for a moratorium and the other critical voices from the Third World churches; and the increasing self-assurance and missionary consciousness among adherents of non-Christian religions--all these have given rise to the question whether Christian mission work still makes sense, and if it does, what form it should take. Is mission identical to evangelism in the sense of proclaiming eternal salvation? Does it include social and political involvement, and if so, how? Where does salvation take place: only in the Church, or in the individual, or in society, or in the 'world', or in the non-Christian religions? The picture is one of change and complexity, tension and urgency. The answers we give to these questions must be consonant with the will of God and relevant to the situation in which we find ourselves.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Cross-Cultural Process in christian History, Andrew F. Walls shows he has not lost the capacity to surprise readers with new insights into things they thought long settled. In essays that sparkle with wit and insight Walls reaches back to Eusebius of Edessa in the fourth century and down to the contemporary world. His seer's eyes reach from "Old Athens" and "New Jerusalem", to the vast continents of South America and Asia, to his beloved Africa. On the way he offers fresh understandings of Pentecostalism, African traditional religion, and the ironic ways in which the western missionary movement often accomplished things -- both for good and for ill -- that its agents never dreamed of.
