Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Cross and the Reconstruction of the World: Mankind's One Hope of Conquest The author of this book, the Rev. J. R. Saunders, went from America some twenty years ago, to live and labour in China, with headquarters in Canton. He and his work are quite well known to many in America, and are held in very high esteem wherever known. He has faithfully devoted himself to the many-sided work of the missionary, that is, to preaching, teaching, translating, etc. He has also travelled extensively, both in China and Japan, studying the fields and problems of missionary endeavour at close range. He writes, therefore, out of vital and vivid experiences. This book, "The Cross and the Reconstruction of the World," is the outcome of his personal study and experience, in seeking to help humanity in the great fields of mission activity. The book has not been written primarily for scholars and the schools, but rather for the people in general, for all who wish to see this sinful, needy, suffering world brought into right relations to God.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Messengers of the Cross in China Dear Nazarenes: Greetings in the name of our God who "so loved the world" that He provided the Supreme Sacrifice for its redemption! Once more we present to you a group of your own heroic missionaries. This is a valiant band who have labored amid the din of battle. They have planted the white banner of the Cross, with its crimson stain, in front of the cannon's mouth, while ministering to a people torn by civil strife and suffering the ravages of famine and pestilence. The story of their remarkable achievements in winning souls to Jesus in this dark land will surely commend to you your own "Messengers of the Cross in China." Since this booklet is the fifth and the last of the "Messenger" series, we wish to express our heartfelt thanks to all who have helped to make this series a success since it was started as an experiment, five years ago. We appreciate the kindness of the W. F. M. S. leaders, of the Publishers, and especially of the precious missionaries who have so graciously contributed the required material. May the eternal riches of His glory be the abiding portion of each and every one of you. Amen. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

It will be found that he has done full justice to the valiant and honourable men, both Catholic and Protestant, who have gone forth as labourers in this vineyard. But too much imme diate gain must not be expected from their labours. Ripe clusters must not be expected where the buds have scarcely made their appearance. The works of Deity are of slow growth.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Cross and Crown: Stories of the Chinese Martyrs when I was at home on furlough, and met many of the young people who will, I hope, read these pages, the Rev. Arnold Thomas, of Bristol, and many other ministers and Christian workers, told me they thought the heroic deaths and sufferings, for Jesus sake, of so many Chinese converts ought to be put on record. The story, they said, was a legacy to the church universal, which should not be lost, but should be treasured right down the ages, like the record of the persecutions of pagan Rome. No costly memorials have been erected above their graves; many of the martyrs never even received burial, their ashes being thrown upon the winds; but their memory will never die in the land of their birth so long as the Christian Church grows and thrives in Chinese soil. I have only had space for a very few stories, though they could be multiplied more than ten times over. And I have written only of our London Mission Christians (with the exception of one or two cases which are specially mentioned in the chapter - "How the Youth of China Died for Jesus"), as I thought these would be specially interesting to the young people for whom this book is prepared.

Book excerpt: In 1614 the shogunate prohibited Christianity amidst rumors of foreign plots to conquer Japan. But more than the fear of armed invasions, it was the ideological threat--or spiritual conquest--that the Edo shogunate feared the most. This book explores the encounter of Christianity and premodern Japan in the wider context of global and intellectual history. M. Antoni J. Ucerler examines how the Jesuit missionaries sought new ways to communicate their faith in an unfamiliar linguistic, cultural, and religious environment--and how they sought to re-invent Christianity in the context of samurai Japan. They developed an original moral casuistry or cases of conscience adapted to the specific dilemmas faced by Japanese Christians. This volume situates the European missionary enterprise in East Asia within multiple geopolitical contexts: Both Ming China and Warring States Japan resisted the presence of foreigners and their beliefs. In Japan, where the Jesuits were facing persecution in the midst of civil war, they debated whether they could intervene in military conflicts to protect local communities. Others advocated for the establishment of a Christian republic or civil protectorate. Based on little-known primary sources in various languages, The Samurai and the Cross explores the moral and political debates over religion, law, and reason of state that took place on both the European and the Japanese side.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The cross stirs intense feelings among Christians as well as non-Christians. Robin Jensen takes readers on an intellectual and spiritual journey through the two-thousand-year evolution of the cross as an idea and an artifact, illuminating the controversies—along with the forms of devotion—this central symbol of Christianity inspires. Jesus’s death on the cross posed a dilemma for Saint Paul and the early Church fathers. Crucifixion was a humiliating form of execution reserved for slaves and criminals. How could their messiah and savior have been subjected to such an ignominious death? Wrestling with this paradox, they reimagined the cross as a triumphant expression of Christ’s sacrificial love and miraculous resurrection. Over time, the symbol’s transformation raised myriad doctrinal questions, particularly about the crucifix—the cross with the figure of Christ—and whether it should emphasize Jesus’s suffering or his glorification. How should Jesus’s body be depicted: alive or dead, naked or dressed? Should it be shown at all? Jensen’s wide-ranging study focuses on the cross in painting and literature, the quest for the “true cross” in Jerusalem, and the symbol’s role in conflicts from the Crusades to wars of colonial conquest. The Cross also reveals how Jews and Muslims viewed the most sacred of all Christian emblems and explains its role in public life in the West today.
