Book Synopsis The Missionary Movement in Colonial Kenya: The foundation of Africa Inland Church by : James Karanja
Download or read book The Missionary Movement in Colonial Kenya: The foundation of Africa Inland Church written by James Karanja and published by Cuvillier Verlag. This book was released on 2009-01-13 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work is about the early history of a faith mission seeking to establish its missionary work in central Kenya. It is also an exploration of the early beginnings of the Africa Inland Church in Kikuyuland, now part of AIC Kenya. The work exposes both AIM missionaries and the Africans in their constant winnowing away of inessentials in order to retain a core religious belief and practice that was vital in upholding what each had come to hold as of spiritual value. At the center of the work, in one of the chapters, is a story of a jointly created anxiety about education which was as much Kikuyu as Western and which taught, therefore, that Africans and Western Missionaries were equidistant to education; that would teach them to read the Bible. The realizations made in creating the story at the beginning of Missionary work in colonial Kenya, brought both origin and conclusion of an immensely complex but valid process in which arguments, theological debates, agonized doubts, revitalized flames of belief and unrelenting determination divided both the missionaries and the indigenous adherents in such a manner that one cannot adequately and accurately build an argument on opposing sides; Kikuyu people and the missionaries. In any case both the AIM missionaries and early Kikuyu Christians were committed to the joint effort of building the African Christianity. The research uses mission, religio-historical, social religious and oral sources to reconstruct a rich historiography of the foundation of African Christianity. The book will be a solid contribution to the growing field of comparative mission history in Africa. The work as a commendable source adds new data and raises new and necessary questions about Christianity in Kenya; exploring Kikuyu Christianity through careful and systematic collection of original missionary writings and oral materials.

Book Synopsis Christian Converts and Social Protests in Meiji Japan by : Irwin Scheiner
Download or read book Christian Converts and Social Protests in Meiji Japan written by Irwin Scheiner and published by University of Michigan Press. This book was released on 2020-06-01 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nowhere has there been a discussion of the confusion necessarily generated by the rapidity of the change or of the agony created in the lives of many whose attitudes, expectations, and even success depended on the continuance of now abolished institutions. Historians have ignored the settled conditions of most samurai and instead concentrated on the study of the minority of activist samurai leaders who, with the backing of only a few Han (feudal domains) sought to overthrow the old order and whose success in doing so has made the study of the modernization of Japan the prime concern of historians. The history of the Meiji period may have been an overall political and industrial success story, but for a fuller understanding of the conditions of that success it is also necessary to understand "what it was really like" for the members of the old elite to be estranged from the proponents of revolution and what many members did to assure their own social and psychological position in a world they had not expected. In this book the author attempts to show that the impact of the Meiji Restoration destroyed the meaningfulness of the Confucian doctrine for these declasse samurai. Through Christianity, the samurai attempted to revive their status in society by finding a doctrine that offered a meaningful path to power. But in doing so, they had to accept a new theory of social relations. Ultimately, as the convert's understanding of society became totally informed by the Christian doctrine, they accepted a transcendent authority that brought them into conflict with society about them. Therefore, to understand the development of a Christian opposition in Meiji society we must begin with the conversion experience itself. [intro]

Book Synopsis International Influences and Baptist Mission in West Cameroon by : Charles W. Weber
Download or read book International Influences and Baptist Mission in West Cameroon written by Charles W. Weber and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2016-05-30 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study presents a history, based on original archival and primary source material, of the Baptist mission educational situation of Cameroon province from 1922 to 1945. The provisions of the League of Nations' mandate, under which Great Britain administered the province in this period, included 'complete freedom of conscience and the free exercise of all forms of worship', yet from the beginning of the Mandate clear tensions existed. The missions desired education to serve evangelical purposes, while the colonial government strove for a uniform adaptionist program, suited to European perceptions of the abilities, traditions and local conditions of the African peoples. The work relates thus to a number of themes: European colonialism; the Mandate system; international theories of education; a comparison of British, American and German influences; cross-cultural mission work; and the personal contributions of three particular missionaries: Bender, Gebauer and Dunger.

Download or read book The Black Jacobins written by C.L.R. James and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2023-08-22 with total page 465 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A powerful and impassioned historical account of the largest successful revolt by enslaved people in history: the Haitian Revolution of 1791–1803 “One of the seminal texts about the history of slavery and abolition.... Provocative and empowering.” —The New York Times Book Review The Black Jacobins, by Trinidadian historian C. L. R. James, was the first major analysis of the uprising that began in the wake of the storming of the Bastille in France and became the model for liberation movements from Africa to Cuba. It is the story of the French colony of San Domingo, a place where the brutality of plantation owners toward enslaved people was horrifyingly severe. And it is the story of a charismatic and barely literate enslaved person named Toussaint L’Ouverture, who successfully led the Black people of San Domingo against successive invasions by overwhelming French, Spanish, and English forces—and in the process helped form the first independent post-colonial nation in the Caribbean. With a new introduction (2023) by Professor David Scott.

Book Synopsis Being the Church in the Midst of Empire by : Karen L. Bloomquist
Download or read book Being the Church in the Midst of Empire written by Karen L. Bloomquist and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Against the backdrop of a general sense of what empire entails, the purpose of this book is to engage in some constructive theological reflection. Empire refers to various interrelated processes of domination and their effects that are in tension with biblical visions for life in community. There are countless effects and crucial ethical issues raised by empire, especially in economic and political terms. But it also poses deeply theological challenges because of how all-encompassing empire becomes, permeating how we think about ourselves and others, our world, our hopes and our desires. This book presuppose that the publicly embodied identity (or being) of the church in the midst of empire is fundamentally rooted in the life of the Triune God. From this Trinitarian perspective the writers develop theological responses that have the potential to counter, transform, and nurture long-term reform of empire, especially in and through communities of faith.
