Download or read book Live to Be Forgotten written by Patrick Fung and published by Langham Publishing. This book was released on 2024-07-31 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The China Inland Mission (CIM), founded by James Hudson Taylor (1832-1905), has been a major focal point in the research of the history of Christian missions in modern China. Yet there has been a dearth of attention given to Taylor’s successor, Dixon Edward Hoste (1861-1946). Hoste led the CIM through some of their most tumultuous periods, believing that the Chinese church would one day grow by itself, without the dependence on foreign missionaries. In this important study, Dr. Patrick Fung examines the life and work of Dixon Edward Hoste in his thirty-five years as general director of the CIM. Hoste’s faithful friendship with the Chinese church never wavered and this study demonstrates how we can learn from his leadership, exemplifying a model of servanthood. Bringing fresh insights to this field of research, Dr. Fung shows us how the committed work of Hoste should be duly recognized as an integral part of the indigenous movement of modern Chinese Christianity.

Book excerpt: Age of Betrayal is a brilliant reconsideration of America's first Gilded Age, when war-born dreams of freedom and democracy died of their impossibility. Focusing on the alliance between government and railroads forged by bribes and campaign contributions, Jack Beatty details the corruption of American political culture that, in the words of Rutherford B. Hayes, transformed “a government of the people, by the people, and for the people” into “a government by the corporations, of the corporations, and for the corporations.” A passionate, gripping, scandalous and sorrowing history of the triumph of wealth over commonwealth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Color Line by William Smith is a textbook representative of society from the early 20th century asking and discussing philosophical issues of race, questioning the savageness of African Americans, and thinking about white and black identity. Excerpt: "The following pages attempt a discussion of the most important question that is likely to engage the attention of the American People for many years and even generations to come. Compared with the vital matter of pure Blood, all other matters, such as tariff, currency, subsidies, civil service, labor and capital, education, forestry, science and art, and even religion, sink into insignificance. For, to judge by the past, there is scarcely any conceivable educational or scientific or governmental or social or religious polity under which the pure strain of Caucasian blood might not live and thrive and achieve great things for History and Humanity..."
Book Synopsis The Gilded Age Press, 1865-1900 by : Ted C. Smythe
Download or read book The Gilded Age Press, 1865-1900 written by Ted C. Smythe and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2003-08-30 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: American newspapers redefined journalism after the Civil War by breaking away from the editorial and financial control of the Democratic and Republican parties. Smythe chronicles the rise of the New Journalism, where pegging newspaper sales to market forces was the cost of editorial independence. Successful papers in post-bellum America thrived by catering to a mass audience, which increased their circulations and raised their advertising revenues. Still active politically, independent editors now sought to influence their readers' opinions themselves rather than serve as conduits for the party line.

Download or read book At Ease in Zion written by Rufus B. Spain and published by University of Alabama Press. This book was released on 2003-07-21 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Analyzes the Southern Baptist denomination’s influence on southern culture during the 19th century First published in 1967, Rufus Spain’s thorough investigation into Southern Baptist attitudes set the stage for research on religion in the American South. In At Ease in Zion, Spain questions the titular “ease” with society that Southern Baptists seemed to maintain following the Civil War. His analysis of denominational newspapers, as well as reports from the Southern Baptist Convention and state conventions, paint a compelling picture of the subjects’ complacency with their social existence, even as they criticized personal and recreational ethics. While the South faced significant social, economic, and political changes after the Civil War, religion remained the primary moral influence. As the Southern Baptist denomination made up a significant majority of the population at that time, its leaders and attitudes had a clear and undeniable impact on social norms. Rufus Spain was one of the first writers to actively demonstrate the relationship between Southern religion and Southern society, and his work displays meticulous attention to the ways in which we are affected by complacency. He asserts that Southern Baptists viewed the American South as a version of God’s ideal society; any issues they wished to address were caused by individuals (such as those who did not conform to societal norms) or external attitudes (such as those in differing religions or regions). At Ease in Zion is a critical part of the scholarly discussion on religion in society. Spain’s research offers a bold analysis of the American South and its citizens during one of the most tumultuous times in its history while providing a basis for arguments on “social Christianity” and its ever-shifting role in the world.
Book Synopsis Forest Dreams, Forest Nightmares by : Nancy Langston
Download or read book Forest Dreams, Forest Nightmares written by Nancy Langston and published by University of Washington Press. This book was released on 2009-11-23 with total page 405 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Across the inland West, forests that once seemed like paradise have turned into an ecological nightmare. Fires, insect epidemics, and disease now threaten millions of acres of once-bountiful forests. Yet no one can agree what went wrong. Was it too much management—or not enough—that forced the forests of the inland West to the verge of collapse? Is the solution more logging, or no logging at all? In this gripping work of scientific and historical detection, Nancy Langston unravels the disturbing history of what went wrong with the western forests, despite the best intentions of those involved. Focusing on the Blue Mountains of northeastern Oregon and southeastern Washington, she explores how the complex landscapes that so impressed settlers in the nineteenth century became an ecological disaster in the late twentieth. Federal foresters, intent on using their scientific training to stop exploitation and waste, suppressed light fires in the ponderosa pinelands. Hoping to save the forests, they could not foresee that their policies would instead destroy what they loved. When light fires were kept out, a series of ecological changes began. Firs grew thickly in forests once dominated by ponderosa pines, and when droughts hit, those firs succumbed to insects, diseases, and eventually catastrophic fires. Nancy Langston combines remarkable skills as both scientist and writer of history to tell this story. Her ability to understand and bring to life the complex biological processes of the forest is matched by her grasp of the human forces at work—from Indians, white settlers, missionaries, fur trappers, cattle ranchers, sheep herders, and railroad builders to timber industry and federal forestry managers. The book will be of interest to a wide audience of environmentalists, historians, ecologists, foresters, ranchers, and loggers—and all people who want to understand the changing lands of the West.

Book Synopsis Generalizations in Historical Writing by : Alexander V. Riasanovsky
Download or read book Generalizations in Historical Writing written by Alexander V. Riasanovsky and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2017-01-30 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the difficulties in talking about historical generalizations is the problem of finding a language in the middle ground between abstract speculation and mere recording of raw empirical data. However difficult this task might be, the intellectual process involved in historical generalization is a useful one, inviting reflection and discussion. The five historians who have contributed to this volume chose their own topics. Thus the book as a whole is not a sequence but a cluster, in which not only the varying emphasis—here largely on the practical, there largely on the theoretical—but also the choice of topics in itself illustrates the pluralistic nature of historical generalizations. Contributors: H. Stuart Hughes, Isaiah Berlin, David M. Potter, Albert Guérard, and Crane Brinton.
