DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from Two Thousand Years of Missions It is said that Shakspere owed much of his broad mental vision to the accounts Of the world's explora tion made available in English by Richard Hakluyt and that Milton was still deeper in debt to the same work. A large outlook on God's world is the necessary basis Of lofty inspiration. But the Principal Navigations Of missionary enterprise have never been brought together in any one book or set of books. After pre paring the copious bibliography of missions for the London Conference in 1888, Dr. Jackson, Secretary of the American Society of Church History, said in the journal Of that society.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKConflict, Conquest, and Conversion surveys two thousand years of the Christian missionary enterprise in the Middle East within the context of the region's political evolution. Its broad, rich narrative follows Christian missions as they interacted with imperial powers and as the momentum of religious change shifted from Christianity to Islam and back, adding new dimensions to the history of the region and the nature of the relationship between the Middle East and the West. Historians and political scientists increasingly recognize the importance of integrating religion into political analysis, and this volume, using long-neglected sources, uniquely advances this effort. It surveys Christian missions from the earliest days of Christianity to the present, paying particular attention to the role of Christian missions, both Protestant and Catholic, in shaping the political and economic imperialism of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Eleanor H. Tejirian and Reeva Spector Simon delineate the ongoing tensions between conversion and the focus on witness and "good works" within the missionary movement, which contributed to the development and spread of nongovernmental organizations. Through its conscientious, systematic study, this volume offers an unparalleled encounter with the social, political, and economic consequences of such trends.

His dominant ideal missionary. 34. Jesus of Nazareth was in every sense of the word a missionary. In Him the missionary tendencies of the Messianic Race culminated. In Him was a new beginning, a fresh deposit and source of missionary energy. Before Christ the missionary movement had only crept and crawled. It was in a larval state. With Him it took wings, it reached the perfect state. He was the image, the true and complete embodiment of the spirit of missions. In Him it became reproductive. He was the original and the originator of missions. His own origin was missionary. We have seen to what extent it was so on its earthly side, but it was pre-eminently so on its heavenly side. He was repeatedly described, especially by himself, as the Sent-- that is, the Missionary. If instead of the Anglo-Saxon "sent" we were to use a word of Latin origin meaning the same, we should better gather the force of this favorite thought of Christ about himself. The following are a few of His statements as rendered in the Twentieth Century New Testament: "As the living Father made me His Messenger, and as I live because, the Father does, so those who take me for their food will live because I do." "For myself I do know Him, for it is from Him that I have come, and I am His Messenger." "Tf God were your Father, ' Jesus replied, 'you would love me, for I came out of God Himself, and am now here; nor have I come of myself, but I am His...
