Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our India Missions: A Thirty Year's History of the India Mission of the United Presbyterian Church of North America, Together With Personal Reminiscences Some years ago we made the suggestion to the Rev. Andrew Gordon, D.D., that he should write a history of the India Mission. The suggestion was made because we knew from conversations with him, and from his familiarity with the field and the work from the beginning, that he was in possession of the material necessary, and was in a position to produce an intensely interesting volume. For the reason indicated, and to promote the interests of the mission, the work was undertaken. We have had the privilege of hearing portions of the manuscript read, and of perusing most of the proof-sheets as the pages have been passing through the press; and we do not hesitate to say that our most sanguine expectations have been far more than realized. Dr. Gordon has produced a volume of surpassing interest. We have not been so fascinated by any other book on the subject of Missions that has fallen into our hands. We were asked to read some parts of the work for the purpose of correcting the proof Invariably we would forget the errors in type because enchanted with the story. We might refer to the chapter descriptive of the field, the chapters on the Sepoy rebellion, those relating to certain native laborers, as of the greatest dramatic interest; but we could hardly make a selection, and say that one chapter is more charming than another. We feel sure the reader will agree with us when we say that there is not a dull page in the book. Even the statistics are so introduced as to greatly increase the pleasure of perusal.

THE IMPERIAL HU'KAM--THE MAHARAJA'S HU'KAM--GOD'S HU'KAM-- AND THEN THE HU'KAM OF THE JUDGE. "T WILL give you a mouth and wisdom which all your ad1 versaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist." Kana'ya spent three days in putting his farm into such condition that he could leave it without neglect, and went once more to consult with the Deputy Commissioner at Sial'kot-- who, it will be remembered, had granted his petition for the possession of his children--with the view of ascertaining whether anything more could possibly be done to recover his family. The case was one in which religion was concerned, and was now assuming a very grave aspect, since the Maharaja of an important native State was setting at defiance--or allowing his officers to do so--a decision of the chief magistrate of a District of British India. After taking advice, Kana'ya procured a copy of the proceedings in the case as decided in the District Court, and requesting the Deputy Commissioner to refer it to higher authority, returned to Scott garh to wait and pray, as all the Christians there were directed by Mr. Scott to do daily without fail. Three months later the Deputy Commissioner called Kana'ya to Sial'kot, and said to him: "You can now proceed to Ja'mu, Kana'ya, and claim your children." "But there is nothing in my hand," objected Kana'ya--" no letter, no order--how can I go thus empty-handed with any hope of obtaining a hearing?" "Yes, Kana'ya, you can go boldly now," said the Deputy Commissioner, " for a hu'kam from the English Government has gone before you to the Maharaja, the meaning of which, in short, is this: 'Give up those children to their father, and it will be well with you; otherwise we shall see who is able to stand, ...

Download or read book A History of Christian Conversion written by David W. Kling and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2020 with total page 853 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Conversion has played a central role in the history of Christianity. In this first in-depth and wide-ranging narrative history, David Kling examines the dynamic of turning to the Christian faith by individuals, families, and people groups. Global in reach, the narrative progresses from early Christian beginnings in the Roman world to Christianity's expansion into Europe, the Americas, China, India, and Africa. Conversion is often associated with a particular strand of modern Christianity (evangelical) and a particular type of experience (sudden, overwhelming). However, when examined over two millennia, it emerges as a phenomenon far more complex than any one-dimensional profile would suggest. No single, unitary paradigm defines conversion and no easily explicable process accounts for why people convert to Christianity. Rather, a multiplicity of factors-historical, personal, social, geographical, theological, psychological, and cultural-shape the converting process. A History of Christian Conversion not only narrates the conversions of select individuals and peoples, it also engages current theories and models to explain conversion, and examines recurring themes in the conversion process: divine presence, gender and the body, agency and motivation, testimony and memory, group- and self-identity, "authentic" and "nominal" conversion, and modes of communication. Accessible to scholars, students, and those with a general interest in conversion, Kling's book is the most satisfying and comprehensive account of conversion in Christian history to date; this major work will become a standard must-read in conversion studies.
