Inter-Varsity Press The Expansion of evangelicalism: The Age Of
Book SynopsisThis volume provides an authoritative account of evangelicalism from the 1790s to the 1840s, skilfully balancing British and American developments and also encompassing Canada, Australia, the West Indies and elsewhere. An account of the formative impact of revivalism is followed by discussion of spirituality and worship, and the place of evangelicalism in the lives of women, men and the family. The book then explores the broader social and political impact of the movement, giving particular attention to the slavery question. Major figures, such as Lyman Beecher, Thomas Chalmers, Charles Finney, Hannah More and William Wilberforce, are surveyed alongside other fascinating, lesser-known personalities. The concluding coverage of the 1846 London meeting of the Evangelical Alliance - one of the few grand gatherings of evangelicals from the Atlantic world and beyond - contributes key insights into the movement as a whole.

Inter-Varsity Press Bringing the Gospel Home: Sharing Your Faith With
Book SynopsisA messianic Jew who has led several family members to Christ, Newman urges Christians to look to the Bible before they evangelize. He writes, 'a richer understanding of biblical truth, I have found, can provide a firmer foundation for bold witness and clear communication.' After a brief introduction on the nature of family, he delves into discussions of grace, truth, love, humility, and time. He also addresses issues related to eternity and end-of-life conversations. 'Bringing the Gospel Home' will help any Christian who is seeking to guide loved ones into God's family.Trade ReviewNewman has challenged and charmed lay audiences as a plenary speaker at apologetics conferences sponsored by the Evangelical Philosophical Society. His approach to evangelism is a wonderful blend of thoughtful faith and deep compassion for people. You will be inspired by his insights. * William Lane Craig, author of 'A Reasonable Faith' *'Sharing the good news of Jesus Christ with our closest relatives and friends is something we naturally care passionately about, but it is also a task we often feel most ill-equipped for. Randy Newman has done the church a great service by writing such clear, empathetic, helpful and Biblical advice on a topic so many of us struggle with.' * Steven Stanton, Friends International Staff Worker *Newman shows how, with the most difficult of audiences - our families - we can engage winsomely, respectfully, and with the grace and truth that alone can transform lives for eternity. * Robert Schwarzwalder, Family Research Council *

Inter-Varsity Press Unreached: Growing Churches In Working-Class And
Book SynopsisThink of the thriving evangelical churches in your area. Chances are they will be in the 'nice' areas of town and their leaders will be middle class. Tim Chester once attended a lecture where the speaker showed a map of Sheffield. The council wards were coloured different shades, according to social indicators: educational achievement, household income, benefit recipients, social housing, criminal activity, and so on. Slide after slide showed that the east side of the city was the needy, socially deprived half, compared to the more prosperous west. Where are the churches? Counting all the various tribes of evangelicalism, the large churches are on the west side. The working-class and deprived areas of our cities are not being reached with the gospel. There are many exciting exceptions, but the pattern is clear. According to Mez McConnell from Niddrie Community Church in Edinburgh, of the fifty worst housing schemes in Scotland, half have no church, and most of the others only have a dying church. Very few have an evangelical witness. This book is about reaching deprived, urban, working-class areas, often estates or schemes. It offers us the combined experience of the Reaching the Unreached working group, an informal network of Christian leaders from different parts of the UK. This book doesn't claim to be the final word. But it presents us with a vision of what can be done. We pray that it will capture imaginations and start a vital process in our hearts and minds.Trade ReviewThoughtful analysis at its best, supplemented by excellent practical suggestions and ideas. -- Steve Gaukroger * Clarion Trust International; former President of the Baptist Union *Offers flashes of penetrating insight and perception. -- Frog Orr-Ewing * Rector of Latimer Minster, Bucks, Uk *Tim writes both from ministry experience and a passion for the gospel... Valuable practical insight and needed advice. -- Joel Virgo * Christ the King, Brighton *Outspoken and provocative. Breaks new ground. Issues a straightforward challenge which the evangelical community in the UK desperately needs to hear. -- David Smith * Senior Research Fellow, International Christian College, Glasgow *

The occasion for this book is the centennial of Roland Allen's Missionary Methods: Saint Paul's or Ours? a classic in the field which Paul's Missionary Methods enthusiastically engages with.

Inter-Varsity Press The Kindness of God
Book SynopsisDavid Smith surveys the modern missionary movement, examines critical issues concerning the gospel and culture, reflects on mission in the context of violence and suffering, and explores the 145;translation146; of the gospel for today's globalized world. In his letter to the Romans, Paul makes striking use of the phrase 'the kindness of God' (11:22). The apostle to the Gentiles warns non-Jewish believers in the imperial city of Rome to beware of arrogance, counselling them to 'be afraid' that the kind of spiritual pride which led to the downfall of biblical Israel will also be their undoing. In the deeply troubled times in which we live, this text speaks powerfully to Christians throughout the world, summoning a global church to prioritize what really matters and to discover its unity in the service of the Christ whose life and death revealed in human form precisely the 'kindness of God'. Taking his starting point from Lesslie Newbigin's analysis of the contemporary historical and cultural context, David Smith explores issues in, and challenges to, the practice of Christian mission and witness today. He surveys the modern movement, starting with the World Missionary Conference in Edinburgh in 1910; examines critical issues concerning the gospel and culture; reflects on mission in the context of violence and suffering; and explores the 'translation' of the gospel for a globalized world. He also examines how Scripture was used to justify the political and economic expansion of European power at the dawn of the modern world, and argues that mission today demands both a new hermeneutic and a revised theology of mission, within which Paul's letter to the Romans will play a significant role.

James Currey Labour & Christianity in the Mission: African
Book SynopsisImportant and broadening study of the way Africans engaged with missions, not as beneficiaries of humanitarian philanthropy, but as workers. The important role missions played as places of work has been underexplored, yet missionaries were some of the earliest Europeans who tried to control African labour. African mission workers' roles were not just religious and educational, as they were actively involved, not always voluntarily, in building and domestic work. Focusing on the Anglican Universities' Mission to Central Africa (UMCA) in Tanganyika and Zanzibar in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Michelle Liebst shows how missionaries both supported and undermined the livelihood trajectories of Africans. Revealing the changing nature of relations over time between missionaries - who referred to themselves as "workers" - and the African mission workers, including teachers and priests - whom missionaries referred to as "helpers" - reflected broader political transformations, and this innovative study of missions' role in society adds a critical dimension to our understanding of their function and socio-economic impact and the history of Christianity in Africa.Trade ReviewThe book contributes significantly to historical knowledge of mission activities in late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century eastern Africa. -- African Studies QuarterlyTable of ContentsIntroduction: Rethinking Missions as Places of Work Missionary Authority in Late Precolonial Magila, 1867 - 1887 Building the Slave Market Church in Zanzibar, 1864 - 1900 Slave Status and the Mission Boys' School in Zanzibar, 1864 - c.1930 "Mbweni girls" and Slave Status in Zanzibar, 1864 - c.1930 Domestic Service in Magila and Zanzibar, 1864 - c.1930 Conclusion

SPCK Publishing One Generation from Extinction: How the church
Book SynopsisWhen Robert Raikes started his first Sunday School in 1780, he saw his idea grow to reach 300,000 unchurched children within five years - this in a nation widely ignorant of Christian ideas and values. Mark Griffiths has used Raikes' pioneering work in examining child evangelism in the UK. Working from extensive local and national research (leading to a PhD), he considers how children 'tick', what basic theology is at work in Christian outreach, and what constitutes best practice in child evangelism. His text is studded with insights and observations, and brings together the author's passion for his subject with the rigour of careful research. This is an unparalleled resource, laying the foundations of future growth.Table of ContentsContentsAcknowledgments 11Issues of Ethics 13Foreword 15Introduction 17Part 1The History and Prac tice of Children’s Outreach1 Robert Raikes and the Sunday School Movement 23Robert RaikesRobert Raikes’ EnglandRaikes’ model of child evangelism (1780–1800)2 Child Evangelism at the End of the Twentieth Century 57‘Fifties Freefall’?All-age worshipBill Wilson and the Metro Sunday SchoolMidweek attendance3 Child Evangelism in the Twenty-first Century 67The questionnaireAnalysisConclusion4 Four Key Projects 80IntroductionThe Fraserburgh projectThe Leeds projectThe Hastings projectThe Liverpool project5 The Slough and Windsor Project 109IntroductionThe Saturday clubHome visitsSchool visitsSmall groupsPart 2Connecting with the Unchurched Child6 Theology 145The spiritual state of the pre-evangelized childChild evangelism as Christian educationChild evangelism as encounterConclusion7 Sociology 206Social environment and influences on the childThe state of the church8 Practice 228Professional teachersHymn-singing and prayerRewards, prizes and incentivesConnection between Children’s Outreach Project and parentsMeeting a clear social need and empowermentCommunicationConnection between Children’s Outreach Project and churchConnection between Children’s Outreach Project and localschools9 Conclusions and Recommendations 2851 Methodology and Literature Review 3012 The Self-completion Questionnaire 3113 Survey and Quantitative Research (Phase 2): 314New Zealand and AustraliaBibliography 321

Taylor & Francis Ltd Evangelicalism in Modern Britain
Book SynopsisThis major textbook is a newly researched historical study of Evangelical religion in its British cultural setting from its inception in the time of John Wesley to charismatic renewal today. The Church of England, the Church of Scotland and the variety of Nonconformist denominations and sects in England, Scotland and Wales are discussed, but the book concentrates on the broad patterns of change affecting all the churches. It shows the great impact of the Evangelical movement on nineteenth-century Britain, accounts for its resurgence since the Second World War and argues that developments in the ideas and attitudes of the movement were shaped most by changes in British culture. The contemporary interest in the phenomenon of Fundamentalism, especially in the United States, makes the book especially timely.Trade Review'... an invaluable history ... this volume will stimulate debate and provide a point of reference for all future work in the field.' - Times Higher Education Supplement'An outstanding contribution to the history of the movement ...

Cambridge University Press The Bible and the Third World
Book SynopsisThis is a comprehensive history of the Bible in the Third World from precolonial days to the postcolonial period. It examines the work of theologians from the non-Western world. The volume is an invaluable guide to anyone interested in learning about the impact of the Bible on Third World cultures.Trade Review'The book under review is an exciting development, comprehensive historically, globally and in contemporary challenge. It brings together fascinating vignettes about how the Bible has been used in the Third World, and a critique of contemporary hermeneutics. It admirably introduces the Western reader to much that is new and challenging. Its breadth of examples will mean that there is much arresting material for a reader anywhere, whatever 'world' they are reading from … The book is recommended to those committed to serious study of the Bible, world church history, and contemporary social and cultural theology. It will also intrigue the general reader with the world it opens up. I am glad it has been published immediately in paperback, so that it can reach such readers.' Theology'This book should be read by anyone busy with interpreting the Bible in a Third World situation, as well as anyone interested in understanding the unique contribution that can be made to theological discussion by Third World theologians. … he introduces this theological world in a worthy manner.' Verbum et Ecclesia Jrg'This is clearly an important and provocative work of enormous relevance to the ecclesiastical historian and missiologist as well as to the biblical scholar … a book to be welcomed and appreciated.' Biblical Interpretation'As indicated in the title, this interesting study moves through three phases of the Third World's encounter with the Bible B precolonial, colonial and postcolonial … This is a timely book on the diversified and diversifying reading and status of the Bible in the third world. Every South African biblical researcher should ascertain how the Bible is being read by fellow-Africans … [the author's] book is a good place to start one's own journey into this fascinating subject. the book is well written and research was done diligently.' Old Testament Essays'Sugirtharajah's book is a well-researched piece of work. It brings together, and to the fore, some of the voices that have been heard in isolation in different parts of the third world. It also highlights those readings that were formerly not seen as being sophisticated enough to be included in mainstream Biblical Studies … to this extent his work is unique and very important. The author must also be given credit for the depth in which he has gone into the history of the church in some of the third world countries.' Neotestamentica'This is a timely book on the diversified and diversifying reading and status of the Bible in the Third World … the book is well written and research was done diligently.' Old Testament Essays'In this latest publication, R. S. Sugirtharajah, award winning author and editor, calls readers once again to a different set of voices, those from the margins. In this intriguing exploration of the role and use of the Bible in the Third World, Sugirtharajah moves deftly through the story of this history from precolonial to colonial to postcolonial times … In the world of academia so often filled with theoretical jargon, Sugirtharajah offers us a voice that must be heard. In a clear and engaging work bringing the voices of real people and real situations, he demonstrates that the relevance of postcolonial readings must be more than intellectual curiosity …'.
