Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Postmodern challenges to the reliability of Christian belief have left many pastors and theologians wondering whether Christian belief should be rationally defended at all. Gibbs investigates this possibility by a case study of postmodern… theologian George Lindbeck. Lindbeck's modern classic, The Nature of Doctrine, is a prime example of theology that is both faithful to the church and highly critical of modern conceptions of faith and reason. Gibbs's careful analysis of Lindbeck shows a way forward that embraces Christian apologetics, while transforming it to answer postmodern criticisms of modern apologetics. The result is a sure confidence that the truth of Christian belief is reasonable, even if not able to be proven. Not only is Christian truth shown reliable, Gibbs argues that apologists can and should defend the reliability of the Christian narrative as the most beautiful and good account of the world as well. Apologetics after Lindbeck is a transformation of apologetics that calls the church to faithfully form Christians who can tell a beautiful, good, and true story of the grace of Jesus Christ.''Apologetics after Lindbeck is a timely and much-needed contribution to apologetics literature. Gibbs's emphasis on aesthetics is particularly welcome. The book's formed, accessible, and engaging prose should lend itself well to both the classroom and scholarly libraries.''Brent Waters, Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary''The story of post-liberal theology after George Lindbeck has been surprising. Nowhere has this been truer than with respect to the place of apologetics . . . Apologetics after Lindbeck provides much-needed critical orientation for readers. Gibbs is a wise guide for theological pilgrims who are traveling the road charted by Lindbeck and other theologians in the post-liberal tradition.''Michael G. Cartwright, University of IndianapolisJeremiah Gibbs (PhD, Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary) is University Chaplain and Assistant Professor of Philosophy and Religion at the University of Indianapolis. 194 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -How do we care justly when selves suffer because of the identities that they inhabit Pastoral theologian Katharine Lassiter approaches this interdisciplinary question from a feminist perspective in order to understand how suffering, subje…ct formation, and social injustice are interconnected. Reflecting on tensions in her own experiences of caring for selves, Lassiter identifies the challenges of identity in developing a pastoral theological anthropology. Drawing from theories of recognition, she argues that doing just care requires recognizing the need for recognition as well as understanding the impediments to receiving interpersonal, social, and theological recognition. Bringing together resources from pastoral theology and social theory, she develops a feminist pastoral theology and praxis of encounter in order to advance a care that does justice. Scholars, social justice practitioners, and pastoral caregivers will be able to use this resource to understand not only how and why recognition affects human development but also how we might implement a liberative theological praxis attentive to the role of recognition in subject formation.''Competent, compassionate, and just pastoral care needs a contemporary Christian anthropology that opens up an understanding and respect of persons in their diverse subjectivities. The author blends theology with important insights from the social and behavioral sciences in shaping a text that provides an enlightened perspective on personal identity and 'recognition' of others--inter-subjective recognition, social recognition, and theological recognition. In a time when discriminatory stereotypes and profiling continue to dominate our culture, the author also addresses the critical need to recognize injustice. Highly recommended.''Robert Ludwig, Director, Sophia Center in Culture and Spirituality, Holy Names University''Becoming who we are is, as Lassiter puts it, 'not a game.' And having an adequately nuanced understanding of the processes of becoming selves is critical for advancing the causes of love and justice. Drawing on interdisciplinary sources to offer a fresh perspective on identity, Lassiter highlights the moral and theological importance of recognition. Weaving persons' narratives throughout, Lassiter helps the reader understand more fully how the deeply personal and profoundly political are held together in our very being.''Barbara J. McClure, Associate Professor, Pastoral Theology and Practice, Brite Divinity School''Kate Lassiter brilliantly tackles a huge problem in feminist theology--fixation on identity (gender/race/class/orientation, etc.) and failure to grasp the whole of human subjectivity. Her corrective is equally compelling and defies simple summary: analysis of recognition that includes a searing look at structural violence and political repression, lament, confrontation, and so much more. You simply need to read the book to grasp how to accompany others in 'just care.' A truly path-breaking book.''Bonnie J. Miller-McLemore, E. Rhodes and Leona B. Carpenter Professor of Religion, Psychology, and Culture, The Divinity School and Graduate Department of ReligionVanderbilt University''Pastoral theology needs a theory and practice of recognition that can work with and beyond identity politics, argues Lassiter. In accessible and inviting prose, she cultivates those resources in dialogue with feminist and queer theorist Judith Butler, queer Argentinian theologian Marcella Althaus-Reid, and psychoanalyst Jessica Benjamin. A profound and important contribution to her field and to all who share Lassiter's sense of obligation to those relegated to the margins of church and society.''Ellen T. Armour, Carpenter Associate Professor of Feminist Theology; Director, Carpenter Program in Religion, Gender and Sexuality, Divinity School Affiliated Faculty, Philosophy and Women's and Gender Studies, College of Arts and Sciences, Vanderbilt Divinity SchoolKatharin 202 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Is it possible to found a Heideggerian ethic around the notion of a relationship to being (Bezug zum Seyn) Going against much of the Western tradition, Gupta considers if the being-relationship could result in a feeling or mystical experi…ence that is the basis of ethics. Along the way, such an affective and embodied approach to ethics brings us into dialogue with a range of thinkers, such as Kant and Schweitzer. Further, it is suggested that an environmental philosophy is consistent with a Heideggerian ethics. Finally, recent research in the neurosciences is marshaled to at least show the plausibility of Heidegger's brand of moral realism as it is developed.''Thoughtful, well researched, and genuinely innovative, Anoop Gupta's Heidegger and Moral Realism opens up new perspectives for those struggling to think freshly about ethics. Gupta recasts, in multidisciplinary and comparative ways, several of Heidegger's strongly controversial views on modernity and metaphysics into much-needed, critical second thoughts about the pertinence of the environment, neurosciences, emotions, and history of philosophy for thinking through the challenges of moral realism. In today's exaggeratedly relativistic context, his book merits serious consideration.''--Peter McCormick, Fellow of the Royal Society of CanadaAnoop Gupta is an instructor in the Faculty of Education and the Department of Psychology, University of Windsor, Canada. He is the author of A Common Link: Meaning-Making in Algebra and the Visual Arts (2012), Kierkegaard's Romantic Legacy: Two Theories of the Self (2005), and articles in several countries. He obtained a PhD in educational studies from the University of Windsor, specializing in cognition and learning, and holds a doctoral degree from the University of Ottawa in philosophy. 196 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -In this study Heather Gorman analyzes Luke's portrayal of Jesus' death in light of the ancient rhetorical tradition, particularly the progymnasmata and the rhetorical handbooks. In addition to providing a detailed, up-to-date exegetical s…tudy of Luke 22:66--23:49, she argues three things. First, through the strategic placement of rhetorical figures and the use of common topics associated with refutation and confirmation, Luke structures his passion narrative as a debate about Jesus' innocence, which suggests that one of Luke's primary concerns is to portray Jesus as politically innocent. Second, ancient examples of synkrisis suggest that part of the purpose of Luke's characterization of Jesus in the passion narrative, especially when set in parallel to Paul and Stephen in Acts, was to set up Jesus as a model for his followers lest they face similar persecution or death. Third, Luke's special material and his variations from Mark are explicable in terms of ancient compositional techniques, especially paraphrase and narration, and thus recourse to a special Passion Source is unnecessary.''With careful analysis and clear prose Gorman provides a new lens for exploring some of the most oft-debated features of Luke's passion narrative. Highlighting practices from classical rhetoric, Gorman makes a compelling case for Luke's careful shaping of Mark to reinforce his emphasis on Jesus's political innocence. In this way, Gorman firmly establishes Jesus's innocence as a primary theme in Luke's account, one that stands as a model for Jesus's disciples in Acts and beyond.''Alicia D. Meyers, Assistant Professor of New Testament and Greek, Campbell University Divinity School''In Interweaving Innocence, Dr. Gorman brings a fresh look at Luke's passion narrative. She helpfully moves the discussion on the formation and shape of Luke's passion narrative beyond simple source critical solutions. Employing a sophisticated knowledge of ancient rhetorical practices, the well-argued thesis is that Luke's rhetorical-composition technique adequately explains significant variations from Mark's account without recourse to a non-canonical source. This is a must-read for Lukan scholars.''Mark A. Matson, Associate Professor of Bible, Milligan College; cochair, Gospel of Luke section, SBL Annual MeetingHeather M. Gorman, PhD, is Assistant Professor of New Testament at Johnson University in Knoxville, Tennessee. 210 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -In The Soul of a Nation: America as a Tradition of Inquiry and Nationhood, Chris Altieri contends that the forma mentis of the founders of the political society often viewed--by its members and by those external to it--as the non plus ult…ra of modernity, i.e., the United States of America, is really steeped in the more ancient tradition of thinking that began in Athens and continued through the Christian centuries.Engaging the twentieth-century philosophers Eric Voegelin, Alasdair MacIntyre, and Stanley Cavell--in critical conversation with the founding fathers--the author shows that a broad conversation regarding the constitution of society is constitutively present in the public discourse of the people that began to recognize itself during the imperial crisis of the late eighteenth-century British America; that the participants in that conversation have at least an inchoate awareness of society as at once cosmic and anthropological; and that that political society is therefore an apt field of study in and for the general science of order.''The Soul of a Nation is a masterful enquiry into what, essentially, America is. Altieri gives us good reason to believe that the American project, now in a precarious state, is well worth preserving and furthering, for it corresponds in important ways to man's natural aspirations.''Kevin Flannery, Professor of Philosophy, The Pontifical Gregorian University''Altieri gives us something rare in theological-political thought: sustained theoretical reflection on the idea of America. What orders and disorders that idea To hold such a book in your hands, and then to read it, is to participate in fundamental questions about the soul of a nation. It is a sign of its great value that it inspired me to contemplate the representation of an order that also precedes and transcends it.''C. C. Pecknold, Associate Professor of Theology, The Catholic University of America, Washington, DC; Associate Editor, Nova et Vetera: English Edition; Consulting Editor, Communio: International Catholic ReviewChristopher R. Altieri is a philosopher living in Rome, Italy, with his wife, Ester, and two children. To keep the lights on, he works as a journalist and has taught comparative religion at the crossroads of political theology and cultural anthropology in the IES Abroad Rome program. He defended his PhD dissertation ''The Soul of a Nation: America as a Tradition of Inquiry and Nationhood'' in 2010 at the Pontifical Gregorian University. 238 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Liu Zhi (c.1662-c.1730), a well-known Muslim scholar in China, published in Chinese outstanding theological works, short treatises, and easy-to-memorize short poems on Islam. He encountered various challenges in his interpretation and tra…nsmission of Islamic texts. First, traditional Arabic and Persian Islamic texts used Arabic and Persian concepts to explain Islam. This book answers the question, did Liu Zhi communicate difficult Islamic concepts Second, Islam has insisted on monotheism. This book discusses whether and how Liu Zhi integrated the basic religious living of the Hui Muslims into their pluralistic Chinese culture. Finally, Muslims have settled over hundreds of years in various parts of China. Were Liu Zhi's works able to make a substantial difference in the life and thought of Hui Muslims in China Liu Zhi's success was due to his method of contextualization, integrating the Muslim way of life into Chinese culture. This book is an in-depth study of Liu Zhi's contextualization of Islam into Chinese culture that argues that his contextualization has not deviated from the basic tenets of Islamic belief.''Scholars have previously focused on the innovative nature of Islamic contextualization in seventeenth- and eighteenth-century China. Lee's work goes further, firstly, by focusing on (1) a significant Muslim from the network of scholars in this period, Liu Zhi; (2) his uniquely indigenized use of the Akbarian tradition both for teaching and apologetics; secondly, by combining the use of (1) his own translations with the existing ones; (2) selected Western sources with the previously unknown Chinese secondary sources.''David Emmanuel Singh, OCMS, Oxford''This is a brilliant study of the contextualization of Arabic and Persian Sufi Muslim writing for a Chinese audience by one of the most influential Chinese Muslim writers, Liu Zhi (c. 1662-c. 1730). David Lee has shown clearly how Liu Zhi translated key Sufi works using Buddhist, Daoist, and Confucianist concepts to encourage the reception of Islam as a fourth recognized tradition alongside the other three.''Mark Beaumont, Senior Lecturer in Islam and Mission, London School of Theology''In this book, Dr. David Lee has demonstrated how Liu Zhi, a Hui Muslim scholar in seventeenth- and eighteenth-century China, had successfully integrated the Muslim way of life into Chinese culture by means of contextualization with Confucianism at that time. This not only is a significant contribution to the study of Islamic spirituality in Chinese culture, but also sheds light on the use of contextualization to explain one's faith in other cultures.''Dr. Andrew Lam, Associate Professor of Theology at Evangel Seminary in Hong Kong''Reverend Dr. David Lee's book is a significant contribution of analyzing the legacy and translating Liu Zhi's literature to the international readership. By conceptualizing Liu Zhi's active engagement of Islamic texts within Chinese traditions and contexts in the translation-conversation framework of contextualization, Lee's contribution will not only stimulate scholarly interests in exploring Liu Zhi's work within and beyond Nanjing Islamic tradition; it also provides an important theoretical outlook to further study the contextualization of other Islamic texts in the period of Ming-Qing China.''Wai-Yip Ho, Author of Islam and China's Hong Kong: Ethnic Identity, Muslim Networks and the New Silk RoadDavid Lee is Associate Professor of Theology at Evangel Seminary in Hong Kong. He has served as Senior Pastor in the Chinese Church of London. 308 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -What are Christian women thinking about mission How do they do mission What informs their knowledge and action as they address issues in a complex world where religious proselytizing has become suspect This empirical study explores those…questions, finding congruence among women from diverse backgrounds and cultural contexts. Women in mission face common identity issues, utilize art and beauty in their work, and develop character as they overcome obstacles in their cultural and denominational settings.Through nearly one hundred interviews of women in Europe, Asia, Brazil, and the United States, a study of women's theologies of mission, lectures, and countless conversations with women around the globe, this study finds common themes among contemporary women doing Christian mission.This book fills a lacuna in mission studies that professors, pastors, and church women and men will find informative and refreshing.''Frances Adeney takes us on an eye-opening and inspiring tour of women's contributions to the church's mission and the theology that sustains them in it. This is a book from which women will profit greatly, but it is not only a 'women's book.' Women and men should both take the tour, and be affirmed, challenged, and surprised.''Stephen B. Bevans, Louis J. Luzbetak, SVD Professor of Mission and Culture, Catholic Theological Union, Chicago''Sociologist, theologian, and mission educator, Frances Adeney is one of the most creative thinkers in mission studies today. In this volume she tackles a core problem: the relationship of gender to missiology. Adeney's analysis deepens our understanding of this important issue. This book will surprise, disturb, and delight its readers. It belongs on the shelf of everyone interested in the construction of mission theology.'' Dana L. Robert, Truman Collins Professor of World Christianity and History of Mission, Director, Center for Global Christianity and Mission, Boston University School of TheologyFrances S. Adeney is the William Benfield Jr. Professor Emerita of Evangelism and Global Mission at Louisville Presbyterian Theological Seminary.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -On the Road to Siangyang tells the story of a Swedish immigrant church in America undertaking, soon after its organization, a mission to central China that would last nearly sixty years, from 1890 to 1949, when Christian missionaries had…to leave the Chinese Mainland upon the establishment of the People's Republic. Covenant missionary work was carried on along broad lines: preaching and evangelism; medical and benevolence work; and education for boys, girls, and adults. Missionaries labored amid turbulent years: through the Boxer Rebellion (1900), the fall of the Manchu dynasty (1911), ongoing civil war, and more than a decade of Japanese occupation (1931-1949). Three Covenant missionaries were kidnapped by the communists and held for ransom, and another three were murdered on the road from Siangyang to Kingchow. But the mission work has borne fruit, and a final chapter reports the Christian work being carried on today throughout Hubei Province.''Those interested in China missions will find this book an eye-opener. I learned much about the many missionaries that I had known as a small boy, and received a deep understanding of the abiding faith in Jesus Christ they had in order to endure their many hardships and disappointments. The final chapter about Chinese churches after 30 years of communist suppression proves how the seeds planted by those dedicated people fully flowered.''J. Edward Anderson, son of China Missionaries Oscar and Ruth Anderson''Jack Lundbom presents a fresh and engaging narrative of the evangelistic, benevolent, and educational work in central China begun by Swedish Americans in 1890, and extending through six decades of generational change. Seeds that were sown by dedicated and sacrificial Mission Friends to build indigenous congregations and leaders are today bearing fruit, recounted in the author's personal experiences.''Philip J. Anderson, Professor Emeritus of Church History, North Park Theological SeminaryJack R. Lundbom is a member of Clare Hall, University of Cambridge, and in 2016 will be an Albright Fellow at the Albright Institute in Jerusalem. His most recent books are Jesus' Sermon on the Mount (2015) and Jeremiah (Cascade Books, 2015). 310 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -In The Soul of a Nation: America as a Tradition of Inquiry and Nationhood, Chris Altieri contends that the forma mentis of the founders of the political society often viewed--by its members and by those external to it--as the non plus ultra o…f modernity, i.e., the United States of America, is really steeped in the more ancient tradition of thinking that began in Athens and continued through the Christian centuries.Engaging the twentieth-century philosophers Eric Voegelin, Alasdair MacIntyre, and Stanley Cavell--in critical conversation with the founding fathers--the author shows that a broad conversation regarding the constitution of society is constitutively present in the public discourse of the people that began to recognize itself during the imperial crisis of the late eighteenth-century British America; that the participants in that conversation have at least an inchoate awareness of society as at once cosmic and anthropological; and that that political society is therefore an apt field of study in and for the general science of order.''The Soul of a Nation is a masterful enquiry into what, essentially, America is. Altieri gives us good reason to believe that the American project, now in a precarious state, is well worth preserving and furthering, for it corresponds in important ways to man's natural aspirations.''Kevin Flannery, Professor of Philosophy, The Pontifical Gregorian University''Altieri gives us something rare in theological-political thought: sustained theoretical reflection on the idea of America. What orders and disorders that idea To hold such a book in your hands, and then to read it, is to participate in fundamental questions about the soul of a nation. It is a sign of its great value that it inspired me to contemplate the representation of an order that also precedes and transcends it.''C. C. Pecknold, Associate Professor of Theology, The Catholic University of America, Washington, DC; Associate Editor, Nova et Vetera: English Edition; Consulting Editor, Communio: International Catholic ReviewChristopher R. Altieri is a philosopher living in Rome, Italy, with his wife, Ester, and two children. To keep the lights on, he works as a journalist and has taught comparative religion at the crossroads of political theology and cultural anthropology in the IES Abroad Rome program. He defended his PhD dissertation ''The Soul of a Nation: America as a Tradition of Inquiry and Nationhood'' in 2010 at the Pontifical Gregorian University.Libri GmbH, Europaallee 1, 36244 Bad Hersfeld 238 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -Liu Zhi (c.1662-c.1730), a well-known Muslim scholar in China, published in Chinese outstanding theological works, short treatises, and easy-to-memorize short poems on Islam. He encountered various challenges in his interpretation and transmi…ssion of Islamic texts. First, traditional Arabic and Persian Islamic texts used Arabic and Persian concepts to explain Islam. This book answers the question, did Liu Zhi communicate difficult Islamic concepts Second, Islam has insisted on monotheism. This book discusses whether and how Liu Zhi integrated the basic religious living of the Hui Muslims into their pluralistic Chinese culture. Finally, Muslims have settled over hundreds of years in various parts of China. Were Liu Zhi's works able to make a substantial difference in the life and thought of Hui Muslims in China Liu Zhi's success was due to his method of contextualization, integrating the Muslim way of life into Chinese culture. This book is an in-depth study of Liu Zhi's contextualization of Islam into Chinese culture that argues that his contextualization has not deviated from the basic tenets of Islamic belief.''Scholars have previously focused on the innovative nature of Islamic contextualization in seventeenth- and eighteenth-century China. Lee's work goes further, firstly, by focusing on (1) a significant Muslim from the network of scholars in this period, Liu Zhi; (2) his uniquely indigenized use of the Akbarian tradition both for teaching and apologetics; secondly, by combining the use of (1) his own translations with the existing ones; (2) selected Western sources with the previously unknown Chinese secondary sources.''David Emmanuel Singh, OCMS, Oxford''This is a brilliant study of the contextualization of Arabic and Persian Sufi Muslim writing for a Chinese audience by one of the most influential Chinese Muslim writers, Liu Zhi (c. 1662-c. 1730). David Lee has shown clearly how Liu Zhi translated key Sufi works using Buddhist, Daoist, and Confucianist concepts to encourage the reception of Islam as a fourth recognized tradition alongside the other three.''Mark Beaumont, Senior Lecturer in Islam and Mission, London School of Theology''In this book, Dr. David Lee has demonstrated how Liu Zhi, a Hui Muslim scholar in seventeenth- and eighteenth-century China, had successfully integrated the Muslim way of life into Chinese culture by means of contextualization with Confucianism at that time. This not only is a significant contribution to the study of Islamic spirituality in Chinese culture, but also sheds light on the use of contextualization to explain one's faith in other cultures.''Dr. Andrew Lam, Associate Professor of Theology at Evangel Seminary in Hong Kong''Reverend Dr. David Lee's book is a significant contribution of analyzing the legacy and translating Liu Zhi's literature to the international readership. By conceptualizing Liu Zhi's active engagement of Islamic texts within Chinese traditions and contexts in the translation-conversation framework of contextualization, Lee's contribution will not only stimulate scholarly interests in exploring Liu Zhi's work within and beyond Nanjing Islamic tradition; it also provides an important theoretical outlook to further study the contextualization of other Islamic texts in the period of Ming-Qing China.''Wai-Yip Ho, Author of Islam and China's Hong Kong: Ethnic Identity, Muslim Networks and the New Silk RoadDavid Lee is Associate Professor of Theology at Evangel Seminary in Hong Kong.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -What are Christian women thinking about mission How do they do mission What informs their knowledge and action as they address issues in a complex world where religious proselytizing has become suspect This empirical study explores those ques…tions, finding congruence among women from diverse backgrounds and cultural contexts. Women in mission face common identity issues, utilize art and beauty in their work, and develop character as they overcome obstacles in their cultural and denominational settings.Through nearly one hundred interviews of women in Europe, Asia, Brazil, and the United States, a study of women's theologies of mission, lectures, and countless conversations with women around the globe, this study finds common themes among contemporary women doing Christian mission.This book fills a lacuna in mission studies that professors, pastors, and church women and men will find informative and refreshing.''Frances Adeney takes us on an eye-opening and inspiring tour of women's contributions to the church's mission and the theology that sustains them in it. This is a book from which women will profit greatly, but it is not only a 'women's book.' Women and men should both take the tour, and be affirmed, challenged, and surprised.''Stephen B. Bevans, Louis J. Luzbetak, SVD Professor of Mission and Culture, Catholic Theological Union, Chicago''Sociologist, theologian, and mission educator, Frances Adeney is one of the most creative thinkers in mission studies today. In this volume she tackles a core problem: the relationship of gender to missiology. Adeney's analysis deepens our understanding of this important issue. This book will surprise, disturb, and delight its readers. It belongs on the shelf of everyone interested in the construction of mission theology.'' Dana L. Robert, Truman Collins Professor of World Christianity and History of Mission, Director, Center for Global Christianity and Mission, Boston University School of TheologyFrances S.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -On the Road to Siangyang tells the story of a Swedish immigrant church in America undertaking, soon after its organization, a mission to central China that would last nearly sixty years, from 1890 to 1949, when Christian missionaries had to l…eave the Chinese Mainland upon the establishment of the People's Republic. Covenant missionary work was carried on along broad lines: preaching and evangelism; medical and benevolence work; and education for boys, girls, and adults. Missionaries labored amid turbulent years: through the Boxer Rebellion (1900), the fall of the Manchu dynasty (1911), ongoing civil war, and more than a decade of Japanese occupation (1931-1949). Three Covenant missionaries were kidnapped by the communists and held for ransom, and another three were murdered on the road from Siangyang to Kingchow. But the mission work has borne fruit, and a final chapter reports the Christian work being carried on today throughout Hubei Province.''Those interested in China missions will find this book an eye-opener. I learned much about the many missionaries that I had known as a small boy, and received a deep understanding of the abiding faith in Jesus Christ they had in order to endure their many hardships and disappointments. The final chapter about Chinese churches after 30 years of communist suppression proves how the seeds planted by those dedicated people fully flowered.''J. Edward Anderson, son of China Missionaries Oscar and Ruth Anderson''Jack Lundbom presents a fresh and engaging narrative of the evangelistic, benevolent, and educational work in central China begun by Swedish Americans in 1890, and extending through six decades of generational change. Seeds that were sown by dedicated and sacrificial Mission Friends to build indigenous congregations and leaders are today bearing fruit, recounted in the author's personal experiences.''Philip J. Anderson, Professor Emeritus of Church History, North Park Theological SeminaryJack R. Lundbom is a member of Clare Hall, University of Cambridge, and in 2016 will be an Albright Fellow at the Albright Institute in Jerusalem. His most recent books are Jesus' Sermon on the Mount (2015) and Jeremiah (Cascade Books, 2015).Libri GmbH, Europaallee 1, 36244 Bad Hersfeld 310 pp. Englisch.
