Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Ecumenical Foundations Dr. Hogg has given us the definitive history of the origin and the first three decades of the International Missionary Council. Here is also a highly important contribution to our knowledge of missionary cooperation of significant phases of the early stages and development of the Ecumenical Movement. --Kenneth Scott, Latourette of Yale University This book appears at an opportune, one might say, a providential, moment. It focuses attention on the history and significance of the most creative international organization of these last revolutionary decades. It also provides answers to many questions, and clarifies many concepts which perplex intelligent Christians in all the churches. It is impossible to understand the background, genius, and problems of the Ecumenical Movement without recourse to this pioneer attempt to chart its course. --John A. Mackay, of Princeton Theological Seminary Dr. Hogg has done a magnificent piece of work and has provided an historical record of great importance. It is the indispensable volume for understanding one of the main streams of Christian unity. There is no other place where one can get so good a picture of the way in which the missionary movement has led to the present stage in teh ecumenical movement. --Samuel McCrea Cavert, General Secretary, National Council of the Churches of Christ

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Proceedings of a General Conference of Bengal Protestant Missionaries: Held at Calcutta, September 4-7, 1855 Few subjects can furnish amore appropriate introduction to the discussions of this Conference, than the one which I have the honour to bring forward. The present is the first occasion, during the sixty years' progress of Protestant Mis sions in Bengal, on which the missionaries of all Societies, from the country as well as the chief town of the Presidency, have met to deliberate on their common affairs, and to endea vour, by bringing their experience into a common stock, to throw light upon each other's labours, and estimate the eihei ency of each other's plans. While, therefore, the proprietors of steamboats and railroads, or the members of mercantile firms, calculate the results of their speculations, and look with an eager eye to the annual dividends they produce, we too may, at the outset of our meetings, survey the fruits which have sprung from missionary labours, examine the condition and efficiency Of our systems of agency, and estimate from them the prospects which lie before us in future days. It is, however, no easy task to trace in detail the various classes into which those results are divided, and to keep out of them factitious elements. It is not easy always to distin guish actual fruits from those which are alleged, and mani fest results from those which are doubtful. The highest and most valued of all are patent to every eye: but others, of a minor kind, though leading to great results hereafter, lie somewhat in obscurity: and yet it would be neither wise nor just to our cause, to omit them as of no account. Some of these results are drawn directly and undoubtedly from certain well defined modes of operation: others are mixed up with the results Of other agencies, which are working in harmony with missionary operations, though independent of them. As an illustration of this we may notice the great improvement that has taken place in Bengal, in the character and conduct of European society. Undoubtedly missionary effort, both in Calcutta and the mofussil, has been concerned in that im provement, and individual proofs Of its usefulness can be given but that effort is only one out of numerous causes that have contributed to that great end. The ministerial labours of pious and evangelical chaplains in Government service have been signally blessed: but perhaps the greatest cause has been the vast improvement of society in England itself. Not only have residents in this country become better, but a large number of better men have arrived in the country and greatly contributed to raise the character of society at large. Other agencies also have been employed and it is impossible to calculate the exact value of each, in producing the common result.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Rev. James Long was one of the most remarkable Protestant missionaries working in India in the nineteenth century. Sent to Calcutta at the age of 22 in 1840, he devoted his life to representing what he passionately believed were the best interests of the forgotten poor and oppressed among the Bengali population. Long was a central figure in the indigo planting controversy of 1861 and suffered imprisonment as a result. His memory is revered even today in modern India, where his contribution to the development of Bengali vernacular education, literature, history, and sociology is highly regarded. Dr Oddie has produced the first full-length biography of Rev Long, examining his work and activities in the context of his own background, philosophy and motivation as well as the political and cultural climate of the day. This book will add significantly to our knowledge of social movements in nineteenth century India and the colonial responses to them.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work, first published in 1980, breaks new ground as concerns caste in India. It first examines the nature of caste and its relation to Hinduism and questions in what sense it is possible to speak of Christianity as an egalitarian faith. It then considers some Hindu egalitarian movements and traces the development of ideas on caste among Christian missionaries, examining the relationship between these views and the Revolt of 1857. Close attention is given to changing attitudes on caste, both by missionaries and by Indian Christians, while the influence of nationalism on Christian attitudes to caste and other social questions is further examined. Finally, there is a review of the contemporary state of the question and of the specifically Christian contribution to modern views on caste.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Series: Studies in the History of Christian Missions (SHCM) In this volume, leading historians of Christianity in the non-Western world examine the relationship between missionaries and nineteenth-century European colonialism, and between indigenous converts and the colonial contexts in which they lived. Forced to operate within a political framework of European expansionism that lay outside their power to control, missionaries and early converts variously attempted to co-opt certain aspects of colonialism and to change what seemed prejudicial to gospel values. These contributors are the leading historians in their fields, and the concrete historical situations that they explore show the real complexity of missionary efforts to "convert" colonialism.
