DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from International Aspects of Christianity The following fifteen Studies are designed to present in as many forms the international aspects of the Christian religion. They are prepared in the spirit of most loyal patriotism. True internationalism is the final bulwark and warrant of national loyalty. The writers believe that no adequate or permanent patriotism is possible unless it lives within the range of international sympathy and service. These Studies are intended to quicken and fortify those who use them to a profounder appreciation of the meaning of democracy. We believe that the noblest expression of democracy is to be found in the Christian religion. To stimulate the study of this as it manifests itself in many ways a manual is needed. We hope that such a guide may be found in the following pages. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from Some Aspects of International Christianity Meanwhile, the political and international situation was changing from day to day, with the rapidity of a mountain torrent, and an opinion might be antiquated almost before the ink in which it was written had dried. In view of all this, I must trust to the indulgence of the reader, in the hope that he will find in the little volume at least some reminders of a very stirring time, and that the general argu ment and point of view may be applicable still, even when the detail of their application Inay have Changed.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from The Place of Christianity Among the Religions of the World The fourth chapter was prepared at the invitation of the Com mittee of the International Council of Unitarian and other Liberal Religious Thinkers, which held its second meeting at Amsterdam in September, 1903. A few passages in the section on Hindu thought have been expanded, in order to bring out more clearly the contrasts between the fundamental conceptions of religious experience in the Indian and the Hebrew developments. In tracing the barest outlines of the succession of faiths, and endeavouring to estimate their relative spiritual significance, it is inevitable that those who speak from the outside should lay a different emphasis on the same facts compared to those who speak from within. Just as the art, the poetry, the ethical types, of the higher races vary, so also must the specific expressions of faith. The time has not yet come when the East and the West can see eye to eye. But we are daily learning new lessons of sympathy and reverence. To help, however imperfectly, to enforce this teaching, is the purport of the following pages.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from The International Aspect of the Missionary Movement in China The Missionary Movement in China has been beset with many difficulties of international significance. By reason of the insertion of the toleration articles in the treaties, Christianity has been attacked by the Chinese as a foreign religion with imperialistic 0 designs, and its propagators, accordingly, have been looked upon as representatives of imperialistic powers. In other words, the movement is treated in China not so much as a religious or a social prob lem, but as an international political issue. As such it has, on various occasions, attracted the attention of the world. In recent years, with the rise of national ism in China, the eyes of the world are again more and more turned towards the Missionary Movement in China.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Classic Texts in Mission & World Christianity, a unique sourcebook on the history and mission of the church. Nearly two hundred selections covering the two millennia of the Christian era are represented, including both classic and contemporary voices of persons in mission - women and men, from Africa, Asia, the Americas, and Europe - and key texts for understanding the mission of Christ, the vocation of the church, and the nature of Christianity. Following the outline of David Bosch's monumental Transforming Mission, Classic Texts offers its readers the full texts cited throughout that best-seller, as well as dozens of additional primary sources from every era and every part of the world. From the seventh century abbess Bertilla of Chelles (who directed both women and men missionaries in England) to the Nestorian Monument detailing struggles with issues of contextualization in 8th century China, to David Livingstone's oft-cited espousal of civilization, commerce, and Christianity (seldom quoted in its entirety), Classic Texts provides a depth and breadth of resources unparalleled elsewhere.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from Christ and International Life Short time ago, when lecturing in a public hall on a subject intimately connected with the religious life of the nation, I referred to what appeared to me the clear teaching of Christ upon that subject. The chairman, at the close of the lecture, said that to explore the teaching of Christ was an arid occupation, as men and women to-day did not look to the past for guidance on modern problems. I am quite sure he was sincere, and am equally sure he was persuaded that this was the only View a really broad-minded man could adopt. Yet, if we reflect for one moment, how narrow, dogmatic, and even ignorant such a statement appears! About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
