CHAPTER VI FIRST TWO YEARS IN PRINCETON THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY JOHN NEVIUS reached Princeton about the middle of December, 1850, when the term had already begun. He found it hard to settle to work, and the first entries in his journal show some discouragement. On the 2oth of December, 1850, he wrote: "Nearly a week has passed since I came to Princeton; and is this week to be an index to my future? I am more idle and listless than I should have supposed possible. I wish I might run the Christian course without needing the lash. God help me to spend my time here so that I may be prepared in mind and heart for the work which is before me, and for heaven, and that I may not have to look back to this period of my life with regret." At the time John entered Princeton Seminary Dr. Alexander, St., was still there--an honor and a blessing to any institution. Dr. Charles Hodge was in the height of usefulness, and other professors were scarcely less distinguished. When John made his first call upon the aged Dr. Alexander he was surprised to receive from him a more accurate and extended history of the Nevius family than he had known before. Dr. Alexander told him of certain families living in the neighborhood who must be related to him, and whose acquaintance it would be well for him to make. On January 10, 1851, he says in his journal: "lintendedto write more about Dr. Addison Alexander's and Dr. James Alexander's lectures. . . . Dr. James has spent some time on 'emphasis and inflection.' I have come to the conclusion that if a person has not enough taste and discrimination to make rules for himself, he will not have enough to apply those of others. They appear to me, with the exception of a few fundamental ones, to be very arbitrary; and I think...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of John Livingston Nevius: For Forty Years a Missionary in China In early days - more than half a century ago - when North China was closed alike to merchant and missionary, Dr. Medhurst and Mr. Stevens made a voyage of exploration to the borders of Shantung. Cradle and sepulcher of their greatest sage, that province is a Holy Land to the Chinese. What wonder they brought back the tracts distributed, saying, "We have examined your books, and neither approve nor desire them. We have the instructions of our sage; they are sufficient for us"! The wonder is that the experience of later missionaries has been so entirely different. How would those explorers have rejoiced had they seen in vision Nevius and his colleagues planting churches through the length and breadth of the peninsula! Imbued with the spirit of an apostle, and burning to preach the gospel in "the regions beyond," Dr. Nevius was a pioneer in more than one field. In Shantung, the principal scene of his life-work, he was preceded by missionaries of other churches; but at Hang-chow, which has become a mission center of vast importance, he was the first to find a footing - unless, indeed, Bishop Burdon may contest the honour. The war which drove him from that station opened for him the gates of the North. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book A History of Christianity in Asia, Vol. II written by Samuel Hugh Moffett and published by Orbis Books. This book was released on 2014-07-30 with total page 702 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of Christianity in the West has often been told, but the history of Christianity in the East is not as well known. The seed was the same: the good news of Jesus Christ for the whole world, which Christians call "the gospel." But it was sown by different sowers; it was planted in different soil; it grew with a different flavor; and it was gathered by different reapers. It is too often forgotten that the faith moved east across Asia as early as it moved west into Europe. Western church history tends to follow Paul to Philippi and to Rome and on across Europe to the conversion of Constantine and the barbarians. With some outstanding exceptions, only intermittently has the West looked beyond Constantinople as its center. It was a Christianity that has for centuries remained unashamedly Asian. A History of Christianity in Asia makes available immense amounts of research on religious pluralism of Asia and how Christianity spread long before the modern missionary movement went forth in the shelter of Western military might. Invaluable for historians of Asia and scholars of mission, it is stimulating for all readers interested in Christian history. --

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The refugee that has come to your church, the pastor of the immigrant church in your town, and you yourself all come before the same Bible, even the same verse, and walk away with completely different understandings and applications. In an increasingly globalized and multicultural world, how can we learn to see beyond our own cultural influences, understand those of others, and learn from each other in order to better understand and apply the word of God? How do we stay faithful to the text when our contemporary cultural perspective is so different from the original author’s? This book will enable you to understand the common pitfalls and dangers related to cross-cultural hermeneutics while also equipping you with principles and real-life examples for how to interpret Scripture in such situations. Additionally, given the fact that our world is increasingly digitized and people are less and less likely to read, we will consider the issue of oral hermeneutics and how those who can’t read or choose not to read can interpret Scripture faithfully.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Village Life in China - A Study in Sociology” is one of the author's fascinating written accounts of his experiences living and travelling China during the late 19th century, this particular volume focusing on the subject of rural life in the country. He wrote this book while living among the local population in small agricultural villages, noting down his observations and compiling them into this insightful glimpse of 19th-century rural China. Arthur Henderson Smith (1845 – 1932) was a missionary famous for spending 54 years doing missionary work in China. He wrote many books about his time there, presenting China to many foreign readers for the first time. Other notable works by this author include: “Chinese Characteristics”, and “The Uplift of China”. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in a modern, high-quality edition complete with the original text and artwork.
