Allen, Roland The Spontaneous Expansion of the Church: And the Causes That Hinder It Roland Allen Missions
1579101984 / 9781579101985 Wipf & Stock Publishers 1997-05-11 Paperback Used: Good Paperback Trade Paperback
This paperback book was published in 1997 by Wipf & Stock Publishers with 160 pages. The text contains two pages with a notation in the margin. The binding is sound. The cover is moderately worn around the edges. ROLAND ALLEN was an Anglican missionary in China from 1895 to 1903. For a few years afterwards he was in charge of an English parish. For the next forty years he was writing on missionary principles. Much of what he wrote seemed to be forgotten. The present work, and an earlier volume, Missionary Methods: St. Paul's or Ours?, are the only two that have been regularly reprinted. Allen himself told his son that his writings would come into their own about the year 1960. In fact that year saw the republication in a single volume of many of his other writings (The Ministry of the Spirit). But his voice has not been silent during all these years. Quietly but insistently it has continued to challenge the accepted assumptions of churches and missions, and slowly but steadily the number of those who found themselves compelled to listen has increased.I too have been compelled, reluctantly, and I have watched others being likewise compelled. But it can only be what Allen intended if it is the compulsion of the Spirit. The very heart and life of his message was that the mission of the Church is the work of the Spirit. I have known in my own experience the long years of wrestling with these issues which were needed before a Church was willing to put some of Allen's ideas to the test. But those years of wrestling were not mere 'preliminaries'; they were not an unfortunate necessity arising from the slowness and dullness of committees and clerics. They were part of the essential thing that Allen was concerned about — the re-submission in each generation of the traditions of men to the Word and Spirit of God. On the other hand I have heard of mission boards which decided to 'apply' Allen's methods, and proceeded to issue instructions to 'the field' accordingly. The result could only be disaster. There are no 'methods' here which will 'work' if they are 'applied.' There is a summons to everyone who will hear to submit inherited patterns of Church life to the searching scrutiny of the Spirit.I think that another word of caution is also in order. Allen was a missionary of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel. He was a priest of the Church of England nurtured in the Catholic understanding of churchmanship. He was a High Churchman. His ideas about the centrality of the Spirit in missions brought him into fellowship with men of very different kinds of churchmanship. One of them has written of their work together as follows: ''Allen's ecclesiastical outlook hardly came into our discussions. We were not interested in the ministry and the sacraments in the way that he was; he joined us in a deep concern for the place and pre-eminence of the Holy Spirit in all the work of the Church everywhere, and in the practical activities that this conviction involved." These words illuminate much of what has happened to Allen's message in these intervening years. Of too many of his interpreters it must be said that they were "not interested in the ministry and the sacraments in the way that he was." In Allen's thought — so far as I understand it — the central place given to the work of the Spirit in no way implies a lessening of the importance of the ordered life of the Church as one divine society bound together in a single visible fellowship with the Lord and His apostles, and visibly united in the sacramental life. If he does not speak much of this, it is because he takes it for granted and seeks to gain a hearing for the aspects of the Spirit's work which have been too much neglected in the tradition in which he was nurtured. To forget this and to read what he says about the work of the Spirit through the spectacles of a tradition which gives little place to order, ministry, and sacrament, can only lead to an atomising of the Church which Allen would certainly have repudiated.I have thought it right to enter these two words of caution, because the reader should be warned that he is embarking on a serious undertaking. Once he has started reading Allen, he will be compelled to go on. He will find that this quiet voice has a strange relevance and immediacy to the problems of the Church in our day. And I shall be surprised if he does not find before long that many of his accustomed ideas are being questioned by a voice more searching than the word of man.LESSLIE NEWBIGIN (Bishop)

Carl A. Raschke Globo Christ Great Commission Takes a Postmodern Turn Church & Postmodern Culture
080103261X / 9780801032615 Baker Academic 2008-08-01 Paperback New Paperback
This brand new paperback book was published in 2008 by Baker Academic with 175 pages. From the Back CoverThe Great Commission Takes a Postmodern TurnThe rise of the Internet and the proliferation of digital technologies have profoundly affected the world; it is not only smaller but also more interconnected. What role does the church play in this multimedia-dominated globe?In GloboChrist, Carl Raschke tackles the subjects of globalization, postmodernism, and information technology and their impact on missions and evangelism. In addition, he addresses the role that Christianity plays in an increasingly pluralistic world, providing concrete strategies for confronting the challenges. In short, GloboChrist helps Christians respond to the tectonic shifts of the twenty-first century."GloboChrist is the unconventional title of an intriguing inquiry into postmodern patterns and ideas and the challenge to mission. The book is a confident statement for these uncertain times, a troubling of the waters that will stir complacent Christians in their assumption."--Lamin Sanneh, Yale University"For those who have tried to follow the intricacies (and vagaries) of postmodern thought to find out what it can tell us of the night, this vigorously discerning volume offers a glimpse of the global dawn. Drawing on many resources and a focused evangelical faith, Raschke lays out a case for a Christian perspective on globalization as a dynamic development that opens reconstructive (post-deconstructive) possibilities for pursuing the Great Commission. Globalization is not essentially an economic issue. The 'GloboChrist' is sweeping the world in a post-postmodern way in spite of militant Islamism, Christian fundamentalism, modernist liberalism, and secular economism. This is the best book on globalization I have read by an overtly Christian thinker. It complements and challenges my own efforts to discern theologically what is at stake in globalization."--Max L. Stackhouse, Princeton Theological Seminary; author, Globalization and Grace"I'd hoped to give GloboChrist a quick read, but after picking it up I simply couldn't put it down; it is elegant, clear, and provocative. Raschke not only helps us see Christ and mission afresh in our hi-tech, pluralistic, postmodern, and global context but also equips us with engagement strategies."--Dwight J. Friesen, Mars Hill Graduate School, Seattle About the AuthorCarl Raschke (PhD, Harvard University) is professor and chair of the department of religious studies at the University of Denver, where he has taught since 1984. In addition, he serves as an adjunct faculty member at Mars Hill Graduate School and is the author or editor of twenty books, including The Next Reformation.

Dowdy, Homer E. Christ's Witchdoctor From Savage Sorcerer to Jungle Missionary Homer Dowdy HB ED
Harper & Row, Publishers 1963-01-01 Hardcover Used: Good Used: Good Hardcover Standard Hardcover
This hardcover book is the Book Club Edition that was published in 1963 by Harper and Row with 257 pages including 16 pages of black & white photographs. The text is unmarked. The binding is sound. The pages are toned. The dust jacket is moderately worn around the edges with several small closed tears, small chips and creasing. Previous owners name stamp present. CHRIST'S WITCHDOCTOR is a gripping account of the witchcraft-dominated life of a primitive tribe in British Guiana and of the thrilling transformation that took place with the coming of the American missionaries. This uniquely authentic story is told through the recollections of Elka, a respected witchdoctor and the first Christian convert among his people......Elka shared the Wai Wais' debaucheries and fears. He tells the reader of the ways of jungle witchcraft—how a witchdoctor can cure his patient by blowing over hot pebbles onto the sick person, how he is transported into a world of eerie spirits by swallowing smoke and chanting spirit songs, how he can kill by blowing on the belongings of another person and "eating his spirit." Elka's belief in his powers of witchcraft was shaken, however, when a young child died despite his treatment......Today Elka is the chief of the tribe and nearly every Wai Wai is a staunch Christian. The Gospel has completely changed their lives. The Wai Wais once practiced infant killing, indulged in three- and four-month-long orgies, mistrusted even their own families, and lived in constant fear of hostile spirits. Now they have an almost self-governing church. The missionaries haven't had to lead a church service in several years. More amazingly, the Wai Wais are today themselves missionaries, fanning out along hazardous jungle trails to share their knowledge of the Savior with the tribes they had previously known only as enemies. CHRIST'S WITCHDOCTOR is truly one of the great sagas in the annals of Christian missions.

Dr. and Mrs. Samuel M. Zwemer 1926 Moslem Women Amy & Samuel Zwemer Missions & Muslim Islamic Sociology
The Central Committee on the United Study of Foreign Missions 1926-01-01 Paperback Used: Good Paperback Trade Paperback
This paperback book was published in 1926 by The Central Committee on the United Study of Foreign Missions with 300 pages including 24 black and white photographic illustrations. The text contains 65 pages with underlining and scattered notes/notations in pencil.. The binding is sound. The cover is heavily worn around the edges with some creasing. The pages are toned with scattered foxing. PREFACE:THIS little book invites the reader to turn aside for a while from the joy and peace of her Christian home life—that rich inheritance—and consider other lives less favored. (It is not intended to foster a spirit of Pharisaical superiority or racial pride.) All we have in Christian lands we have received. Only God makes men and women to differ in their heredity, environment and opportunity. But the solidarity of the human family makes it impossible for any one of us to live unto ourselves or to live as if we lived alone in the world. The condition of so large a portion of humanity as is here unveiled before us concerns each of us.We who write of these Moslem sisters have ourselves seen "the oppression that is done under the sun and have beheld the tears of such as are oppressed and have no comforter, while on the side of the oppressors there is power." We have also witnessed the power of the living Christ to redeem and transfigure lives.When the iron has entered the soul the pen must write more than mere ink. Purely objective study is then impossible. Our missionary life and experience in the early pioneer days in Arabia and later in the chief city of the Moslem world, Cairo, furnish the background to our thoughts. Yet we owe far more to others than we can express. From the documents of the Islamic faith, missionary reports, personal letters, books of travel and first-hand testimony we have gathered and marshaled our facts. How great our debt is to these sources the reader may see. We began and end our labor of love as a work of faith. We pray that God may accept and use it.AMY E. ZWEMER, SAMUEL M. ZWEMER

This paperback book was published in 1985 by the Moody Press with 394 pages. The text is unmarked. The binding is sound. The cover is moderately worn around the edges. The spine has a reading crease. The page edges are toned. Although twenty percent of the population are evangelicals, and more than one third claim to be born again, the United States is a mission field-full of unreached people......We evangelicals laud foreign missionaries, and rightly so. But, as Earl Parvin points out, what has been done to support domestic missionary efforts? Dr. Parvin outlines the necessity and purpose of home missions, as contrasted with evangelism, giving practical instructions for American churches......This invaluable handbook, replete with tables, lists, maps, and appendixes, describes forty-five unchurched groups, countless mission agencies geared toward serving them, and resources the church can use in training and sending missionaries to neglected peoples right here in America.

Editor-marjorie mcdermid The Adventure of Working With God Missionary Biography Testimony
WEC International no date given Paperback Used: Good Paperback
This paperback book was published by WEC international, no pulishing date is given. It contains 108 pages. The text is unmarked. The binding is sound. The cover is moderately worn around the edges. Sit back and relax. You will need only a few minutes to read each of these stories of WEC mission-aries from the U.S.A. and Canada. All the authors have seen God do special things in their lives. All the accounts are true, although in some cases we have changed or omitted names for security reasons.Did you notice I didn't invite you to get comfort¬able? One reason for producing the book is to stir you a bit or, as Phyllis Kilbourn says in her chapter, to see God move you out of your comfort zone.One of the subtle themes in some of what we read and hear in Christian circles today is that we need to accept ourselves as God accepts us. That's true, but don't forget that we should expect God to change us after He accepts us. After all, if He really makes us new creatures who are more than overcomers through Christ, we should expect substantial changes.In this little book you will see how people like Cathy Church were changed. God transformed her from what we often refer to as "dysfunctional" to "complete in Christ." Then in Sri Lanka God used a difficult situation to bring her to a higher level of Christian maturity—to forgive as Jesus forgave.We hope you will identify with several of our missionaries' experiences. As you read about what God has done in, for and occasionally through them, may you find a greater boldness to ask God to work in, for and through you for His glory.David SmithDirector of Mobilization/WEC U.S.A.

I would say, without hesitation, God used this book to change my life."--Chuck SwindollIn 1956, five young men, including Elliot's husband, Jim, traveled into the jungles of Ecuador to establish communication with the fierce Huaorani Tribe, a people whose only previous response to the outside world had been to attack all strangers. The men's mission combined modern technology with innate ingenuity, sparked by a passionate determination to get the gospel to those without Christ. In a nearby village, their wives waited to hear from them. The news they received--all five missionaries had been murdered--changed lives around the world forever.Written while she was still a missionary in South America and at the request of the men's families, "Through Gates of Splendor" was Elisabeth Elliot's personal account of the final mission of these five courageous men. Filled with quotations from letters, material from personal journals, a wealth of photographs, and an epilogue update.

In this book you will find the concepts underlying these emerging trends, case studies of how the concepts have been applied, and development of the critical themes which demand a new agenda for medical missions.This is a book for practitioners, written by practitioners who share several things in common. Each holds a deep, personal faith in Jesus Christ and a commitment to address the needs of the poor and oppressed. Each has invested years of effort in trying to improve the health of the world's poor. All have struggled to integrate their faith in Christ with their professional skills and responsibilities in treating disease and promoting health. They speak from long and often painful experience in some of the most remote and difficult places on earth. All desire to help people experience physical, social, psychological and spiritual wholeness. All contribute to the beginning of a dialogue on what it means to be the people of God in today's world.
