Religious mission and Religious Conversion Books
HarperChristian Resources ¿Por que la Pasqua?
Book SynopsisPrepare for your guests this Easter with a wonderful evangelistic booklet by Nicky Gumbel. Like Gumbel's Why Jesus?, this booklet is a concise and easy-to-read study of the very real questions surrounding Jesus that people might be thinking about at Easter: Who is Jesus? Why do we need him? Why did he have to die? Why does he matter to my life today? With hearts particularly open in the Easter season, these booklets are an effective evangelistic tool to pass out to guests at your services, sharing the Gospel in a warm and relevant way.Alpha is based on a pattern found in the New Testament of people bringing their friends, family, and work colleagues to meet Jesus. Alpha is an easy way to say to friends, "Come and see, come and explore your questions, come and hear about Jesus, come and see for yourself." Everyone is welcome at Alpha, but the program is designed especially for people who would not describe themselves as Christians or church-goers. This resource is written in Spanish.

Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht GmbH & Co KG Bensheimer Hefte.: Geschichte, Verbreitung und
Book SynopsisSeit der Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts kam es in Europa durch die Loslösung ëberzeugter Christen von Staats- und Landeskirchen zur Bildung von Freien Evangelischen Gemeinden. Dies geschah nicht in einem Geist der Sektiererei, sondern aus einer Not des an Gottes Wort gebundenen Gewissens heraus. Deshalb darf ihre Separation nicht als -Sëndenfall verstanden werden, durch den die Gemeinschaft mit anderen Christen zerbrochen wäre. Vielmehr stehen die auf den Genfer -Réveil" zurëckgehenden Freien Evangelischen Gemeinden auf dem Boden der Reformation. Sie wissen sich deshalb mit allen verbunden, die aus dem Evangelium von der -freien Gnade" Gottes in Jesus Christus leben. Die vorliegende Darstellung ihrer Geschichte, Verbreitung und Lehre zeigt allerdings zugleich etwas von der sehr unterschiedlichen Ausprägung ihrer Theologie und Frömmigkeit in 17 nationalen Bënden bzw. Kirchen. Freie Evangelische Gemeinden befinden sich fast ëberall in einem enormen Veränderungsprozess. Dabei bleibt es ihr gemeinsames Ziel, am Neuen Testament orientierte Gemeinden zu bauen und so den Menschen zu dienen."

Book SynopsisThis interdisciplinary volume sheds light on the socio-religious and socio-cultural situation in Europe and discusses the current status of missiology in the European context from the perspective of religious philosophy, religious studies, jurisprudence and Protestant and Catholic theology. Its aim is to contribute to a modern, plural reflective understanding of mission. Mission is not propagated as a covert or open proselytism, but understood as a holistic approach to people in search of a successful life in accordance with the gospel. Mission therefore means clairaudience for the spiritual search of people as well as, if necessary, concrete Caritas or political engagement for the weak and marginalized groups. The scientific discourse is supposed to free the taboo topic mission from the narrowing of historical burdens and make it understandable as a socially highly topical phenomenon.

Brill Gathering Souls: Jesuit Missions and Missionaries
Book SynopsisThis essay deals with the missionary work of the Society of Jesus in today’s Micronesia from the seventeenth to the twentieth century. Although the Jesuit missionaries wanted to reach Japan and other Pacific islands, such as the Palau and Caroline archipelagos, the crown encouraged them to stay in the Marianas until 1769 (when the Society of Jesus was expelled from the Philippines) to evangelize the native Chamorros as well as to reinforce the Spanish presence on the fringes of the Pacific empire. In 1859, a group of Jesuit missionaries returned to the Philippines, but they never officially set foot on the Marianas during the nineteenth century. It was not until the twentieth century that they went back to Micronesia, taking charge of the mission on the Northern Marianas along with the Caroline and Marshall Islands, thus returning to one of the cradles of Jesuit martyrdom in Oceania.Trade Review“This impressively erudite essay provides a condensed but informative history of Jesuit missionary engagement in Micronesia.” John Barker, University of British Columbia. In: The Journal of Ecclesiastical History, Vol. 72, No. 1 (2021), pp. 200–201. “Alexandre Coello de la Rosa offers a brief history of the Jesuit missions in Micronesia from arrival in the Marianas Islands in 1668 to the conclusion of World War II in 1945. The fifteen high-quality images, sixteen sections, over four hundred footnotes, and a bibliography of fourteen pages made for an instructive narrative. I recommend this book as an overview of the Jesuits in Micronesia. In addition, Coello’s wide use of scholars of Pacific Islands studies has much to teach a worldwide audience. The author introduces the global mission of the Society of Jesus and “global modernity in the Iberian colonial empires,” connecting histories of the Jesuits from the Pacific Ocean to Atlantic histories, the Spanish monarchy, and world history, all in a worthy endeavor.” James B. Tueller, Brigham Young University, Hawaii. In: Journal of Jesuit Studies, Vol. 7, No. 4 (2020), pp. 673–675.Table of ContentsIntroduction The Arrival of the Jesuits in the Philippines The Marianas as Part of the Universal Christian Project Gathering Souls at the Margins of the Spanish Empire To Retain or Abandon the Marianas? Corruption, Greed, and Misgovernment New Spiritual and Geopolitical Configurations The Baroque Theater of Power Lights and Shadows: The Virgin of Our Lady of Light A New Foothold in the Nineteenth-Century Carolines Twentieth-Century Jesuits at the Crossroads of the New Pacific World Empires Chuuk Yap Palau and Pohnpei The Marshall Islands Conclusion

Brill Ite missa est—Ritual Interactions around Mass in
Book SynopsisThis study is the first book that explores how the Catholic Mass was introduced and propagated in late Imperial China. Its dynamic exploration reveals the tension between localized and global forms of Catholic rituals, especially the tension faced by missionaries and Chinese Catholics, who were caught up between the Chinese tradition and the Catholic one. Drawing on rich primary sources, some of which are rarely noticed in the field, this book unfolds the intriguing interactions between the Mass and various cultural expressions of Chinese society, including traditional religion, architecture, art, literature, government, and theology.Table of ContentsAcknowledgments List of Figures and Tables Abbreviations Introduction to Ritual Interactions around Mass 1 Prologue 2 Paradigm of Ritual Interaction 3 Ite Missa Est 4 Structure and Sources 1 Object of Worship: Grand Ritual of Sacrifice to the Lord of Heaven 1 The Lord of Heaven as Object of Worship 2 Jesus as Object of Worship in Mass 3 Conclusion 2 Intention of Worship: Mass for Salvation of the Souls of the Deceased 1 Salvation of the Souls of the Deceased at Catholic Funeral 2 Relationship between Mass and Sacrifice to Ancestors 3 Salvation of Souls of the Deceased in the Communion of Merits 4 Conclusion 3 Performer of Worship: Indigenous Clergy along with Indigenous Liturgy 1 Catholic Priest’s Multiple Identities in China 2 Anticlericalism against the Teaching of the Lord of Heaven 3 Indigenous Clergy and Indigenous Liturgy 4 Conclusion 4 Place of Worship: Ritual Space and Ritual Time of Mass 1 Ritual Space of Mass 2 Ritual Time of Mass 3 Christendom in Chinese Society 4 Conclusion 5 On-Going Interactions 1 Glocalization of Catholic Rituals in Chinese Society 2 Applications of the Metaphor of Weaving 3 Tension between Inheritance and Adaptation 4 The Intermediary Bibliography Index
