Book excerpt: Henry Martyn (1781-1812) was an Anglican priest and missionary to the peoples of India and Persia. Born in Truro, Cornwall, he attended St John's College, Cambridge and after being ordained a priest in the Church of England he became a chaplain for the British East India Company. He arrived in India in April 1806 where he preached and studied linguistics, later translating the whole of the New Testament into Urdu, Persian and Judaeo-Persic. He also translated the Pslams into Persian and the Book of Common Prayer into Urdu. From India, he set out for Bushire, Shiraz, Isfahan, and then on to Tabriz where he had hoped to present his translation of the New Testament to the Shah. On his return journey to England in 1812 he was seized with fever, and unable to continue further was forced to stop in Tokat, although the plague was raging there. He wrote his final diary entry on October 6, 1812 and died ten days later. Martyn is remembered for his courage, selflessness, and religious devotion. His love for Lydia Grenfell, who he had hoped would join him in India as his wife, is well-documented in his diary and surviving letters to her, which are quoted in George Smith's lengthy biography, first published in 1892, as are extracts from Lydia's own diary. The biography makes extensive use of Martyn's papers and private letters, now held at Westminster College, Cambridge, and draws on reminiscences of his associates. Smith was a Scottish historian and geographer who spent his working life in India, moving to Calcutta in 1855 where he became successively Fellow of the University and their Examiner, editor of the Calcutta Review, and from 1860 official India correspondent for the Times newspaper in Britain. By the 1870s he had returned to Scotland where he was editor of the journal Friends of India, Secretary of the United Free Church of Scotland, and Vice President of the Royal Scottish Geographical Society. Smith was the author of several biographies of religious figures and missionaries to India, and also books on Indian politics and geography.

Book Synopsis Heroes to Hostages by : Firoozeh Kashani-Sabet
Download or read book Heroes to Hostages written by Firoozeh Kashani-Sabet and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2023-07-31 with total page 459 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is easy to forget, given the oppositional dynamic between Iran and the United States of the last 50 years, that these two countries once shared productive partnership. Tracing US-Iran relations over two turbulent centuries, Firoozeh Kashani-Sabet considers when and how this relationship went awry. With careful attention to social and cultural as well as diplomatic developments, Kashani-Sabet shows that the rift did not originate in flashpoints of crisis, like the 1953 coup or the 1979 Islamic Revolution, but was instead long in the making. Drawing from a wealth of English and Persian-language sources, many of which were previously unavailable or unacknowledged, this book considers the relationship from the vantage point of Iranian society and the experiences of an evolving Iran that strived to accommodate American and great power politics. Following these two nations through wars, decolonization, and revolution, Kashani-Sabet presents an invaluable history of a diplomatic rivalry that informs geopolitics to this day.

This book was released on 2021-03-15 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a short introduction to one of the most remarkable transformations in the modern world that many people still do not know about. In 1900 more than 80 percent of the world’s Christians lived in Europe and North America and nearly all of the world’s missionaries were sent out “from the West to the rest.” In a dramatic turn of events Christianity experienced a decidedly “Southern shift” during the twentieth century. Today nearly 70 percent of the world’s 2.5 billion Christians live in Africa, Asia, and Latin America, while nearly half of all missionaries are being sent out into all the world from places like Brazil, Ethiopia, and South Korea. This book is intended to change the way readers think about the church and challenge the way Western Christians engage in contemporary missions.

Book Synopsis A History of Christianity in India by : Stephen Neill
Download or read book A History of Christianity in India written by Stephen Neill and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1984-02-09 with total page 6 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christians form the third largest religious community in India. How has this come about? There are many studies of separate groups: but there has so far been no major history of the three large groups - Roman Catholic, Protestant and Thomas Christians (Syrians). This work attempts to meet the need for such a history. It goes right back to the beginning and traces the story through the ups and downs of at least fifteen centuries. It includes careful studies of the political and social background and of the non-Christian reactions to the Christian message. The narration is non-technical and should present few difficulties to the thoughtful reader; the more technical matters are dealt with in notes and appendices. This book will be of interest to all students of Church History and will also prove fascinating to many who are concerned with the development of Christianity as a world religion and in the dialogue between different forms of faith.
Book Synopsis India and the Indianness of Christianity by : Robert Eric Frykenberg
Download or read book India and the Indianness of Christianity written by Robert Eric Frykenberg and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2009 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Honoring historian Robert Eric Frykenberg--arguably the historian most responsible for promoting studies of intercultural and interreligious interactions in the South Asian context--the essays in this collection avoid the pitfall of Eurocentric, top-down historiographies and instead adopt and adapt Frykenberg's own Eurocentric, bottom-up approach, this accentuating indigenous agency in the emergence of Christianity an as Indian religion. The book features first-time case studies on Christianity in a variety of unusual Indian settings, including tribal societies, and offers original contributions to an understanding of how Indian Christianity was perceived in the post-Independence period by India's governing elite. Several essayists draw heavily on rare archival documentation in the United Kingdom, Germany, and India. The wealth of material and the perspectives gathered here constitute a remarkable volume--a credit to the historian who inspired it--from back cover.
