Book excerpt: The American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions was America's first great Protestant missionary society and played a significant role in establishing the Albanian Evangelical Protestant Movement in the late 1800s, a movement with both a religious and educational emphasis. Each year the ABCFM held an annual meeting at a prominent city in America to discuss their progress all over the world. After the meeting they printed a detailed annual report with selected information. The Albanians are first mentioned in these reports, in passing, in 1827. Again they are mentioned in 1852 and again in 1859. From 1872-1924 they are mentioned in nearly every successive report. This resource is a compilation of portions from the ABCFM's annual reports concerning its work with Albanians. The American missionaries' efforts unfolded in the context of great political and social changes in the Ottoman Empire and the Balkans; therefore, this work also contains information about other nations insofar as such information assists readers to understand the evolution of missionary work among the Albanians. As missionaries established their presence in a particular location and began working with a particular nationality, they simultaneously set their sights on new locations and learned about peoples still uninformed about the Gospel. They continually made tours to regions beyond their current locations and issued appeals for more funding and more laborers. Their role model was the Apostle Paul, who had heard a "Macedonian call" (cf. New Testament, Acts 16:9-10) and who continually moved on to new areas-such as Illyricum-where the Gospel was not yet being preached (Romans 15:19-20). With such a mindset, it was only a matter of time before the American Board would discover the Albanian people, begin writing about them, and develop strategies to evangelize them. In 1847 missionary statesman Elias Riggs mentioned the Albanians and lamented that Albanian Christians did not have their own liturgical language and were attending church services in ancient Greek. "This very circumstance," he wrote, "has tended to rouse a feeling of nationality, and a desire to cultivate their own language. The nation feels the want of a language for the expression of religious ideas, of which they can comprehend at least something." The Albanian Protestant movement, through its work in producing Albanian Bibles, Albanian language development, Albanian schools, and Albanian preachers, was perceived as an Albanianizing force that helped Albanians withstand attempts to see its territories fragmented and assimilated. Initially the ABCFM's interest in the Albanian people developed indirectly, under the auspices of its mission stations nearest to Albanian-populated territories. In 1873 the ABCFM sent American missionary families to Monastir (Bitola) and made contact with a young Albanian, Gerasim Kyrias. The missionaries mentored Kyrias and educated him in their schools in Monastir and Samokov, Bulgaria. The ABCFM also educated his brother George in Samokov and his sisters Sevasti and Paraskevi in Constantinople. The Kyrias siblings were not only pioneers of the early Albanian Protestant movement but also pioneers of Albanian education, especially female education. In 1890 Gerasim was ordained as Albania's first Protestant preacher. In 1891 Gerasim and Sevasti went to Kortcha and founded one of the first Albanian schools for girls. That same year Gerasim founded the first Albanian Evangelical Church. A year later an Evangelical Brotherhood was formed, "having as its sole object the development of the Albanian language and the extension of the knowledge of the Gospel." This chronological overview is an important starting point for those seeking to understand the evolution of the American Board in the Ottoman Balkans and its contributions to Albania's language and culture.
Book Synopsis Christian Networks in the Ottoman Empire by : Eleonora Naxidou
Download or read book Christian Networks in the Ottoman Empire written by Eleonora Naxidou and published by Central European University Press. This book was released on 2024-09-10 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Observers and historians continue to marvel at the diversity and complexity of the Ottoman Empire. This book explores the significant and multifaceted role that Orthodox Christian networks played in the sultan’s realm from the 17th century until WWI. These multi-ethnic, multi-lingual, and multi-confessional formations contributed fundamentally to the political, economic, social, and cultural development of the Empire as well as to its gradual disintegration. Bringing together scholars from most Balkan countries, Christian Networks in the Ottoman Empire describes the variety of Orthodox Christian networks under Ottoman rule. The examples examined include commercial relations, intellectual networks, educational systems, religious dynamics, consular activities, and revolutionary movements, and involve Muslims and Christians, Romanians and Serbs, Bulgarians and Greeks, Albanians and Turks. The contributions show that the Christian populations and their elites were an integral part of Ottoman society. The geographical spread of the formal and informal networks enriches our understanding of the terms ‘center’ and ‘periphery.’ They were either centered within the official Ottoman borders and extended their activities to other states and empires, or vice versa, located elsewhere, but also active in the Ottoman Empire. A common feature of these formations is their constant fluctuation, which enables a dynamic understanding of Ottoman history.

Book Synopsis History and Neorealism by : Ernest R. May
Download or read book History and Neorealism written by Ernest R. May and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2010-09-09 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Neorealists argue that all states aim to acquire power and that state cooperation can therefore only be temporary, based on a common opposition to a third country. This view condemns the world to endless conflict for the indefinite future. Based upon careful attention to actual historical outcomes, this book contends that, while some countries and leaders have demonstrated excessive power drives, others have essentially underplayed their power and sought less position and influence than their comparative strength might have justified. Featuring case studies from across the globe, History and Neorealism examines how states have actually acted. The authors conclude that leadership, domestic politics, and the domain (of gain or loss) in which they reside play an important role along with international factors in raising the possibility of a world in which conflict does not remain constant and, though not eliminated, can be progressively reduced.
Book Synopsis History of Albania by : Tajar Zavalani
Download or read book History of Albania written by Tajar Zavalani and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-01-19 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The History of Albania by Tajar Zavalani (1903-1966) is the first full-length history of Albania to have been written in English. It covers the period from ancient times to the mid-twentieth century and provides the reader with a good overview of the historical development of a Balkan nation, which has to a large extent been ignored, even by scholars and specialists in Southeast European history. Retrieved after fifty years of oblivion, the fruits of Zavalani's imposing project are now available to the reading public for the first time. Tajar Zavalani was born in Korça (Albania) and fled to Italy with the rise of the dictatorship of Ahmet Zogu. There, Soviet agents recruited him and offered to let him study in Russia as a “victim of counter-revolution.” In November 1930, after several years of study in Moscow and Leningrad, he left Russia, about which he now had serious misgivings. After the Italian invasion of Albania in 1939, Zavalani was interned in northern Italy, from where he escaped with his wife, Selma Zavalani (1915-1995), former lady-in-waiting to Queen Geraldine, via Switzerland to France and then in 1940, with King Zog's party, on into exile in England. In November 1940, Zavalani was given a job in the BBC's new Albanian-language service, which he came to head and where he worked until his death in an accident on 19 August 1966. He was a well-known and active figure of the Albanian exile community in Britain. The present History of Albania was composed for the most part between 1961 and 1963.About the Editors:Robert Elsie is an internationally recognized expert in the field of Albanian studies and the author of many books on the history and culture of Albania.Bejtullah Destani is a British-Kosovar scholar and founder of the Centre for Albanian Studies in London. As a diplomat, he has served recently at the Embassies of the Republic of Kosovo in London and Rome.

Book Synopsis The Transformation of the World by : Jürgen Osterhammel
Download or read book The Transformation of the World written by Jürgen Osterhammel and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2015-09-15 with total page 1192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A panoramic global history of the nineteenth century A monumental history of the nineteenth century, The Transformation of the World offers a panoramic and multifaceted portrait of a world in transition. Jürgen Osterhammel, an eminent scholar who has been called the Braudel of the nineteenth century, moves beyond conventional Eurocentric and chronological accounts of the era, presenting instead a truly global history of breathtaking scope and towering erudition. He examines the powerful and complex forces that drove global change during the "long nineteenth century," taking readers from New York to New Delhi, from the Latin American revolutions to the Taiping Rebellion, from the perils and promise of Europe's transatlantic labor markets to the hardships endured by nomadic, tribal peoples across the planet. Osterhammel describes a world increasingly networked by the telegraph, the steamship, and the railways. He explores the changing relationship between human beings and nature, looks at the importance of cities, explains the role slavery and its abolition played in the emergence of new nations, challenges the widely held belief that the nineteenth century witnessed the triumph of the nation-state, and much more. This is the highly anticipated English edition of the spectacularly successful and critically acclaimed German book, which is also being translated into Chinese, Polish, Russian, and French. Indispensable for any historian, The Transformation of the World sheds important new light on this momentous epoch, showing how the nineteenth century paved the way for the global catastrophes of the twentieth century, yet how it also gave rise to pacifism, liberalism, the trade union, and a host of other crucial developments.
Book Synopsis Omnipotent Government by : Ludwig Von Mises
Download or read book Omnipotent Government written by Ludwig Von Mises and published by Read Books Ltd. This book was released on 2011-03-23 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Liberty is not, as the German precursors of Nazism asserted, a negative ideal. Whether a concept is presented in an affirmative or in a negative form is merely a question of idiom. Freedom from want is tantamount to the expression striving after a state of affairs under which people are better supplied with necessities. Freedom of speech is tantamount to a state of affairs under which everybody can say what he wants to say. At the bottom of all totalitarian doctrines lies the belief that the rulers are wiser and loftier than their subjects and that they therefore know better what benefits those ruled than they themselves. Werner Sombart, for many years a fanatical champion of Marxism and later a no less fanatical advocate of Nazism, was bold enough to assert frankly that the Führer gets his orders from God, the supreme Führer of the universe, and that Führertum is a permanent revelation.* Whoever admits this, must, of course, stop questioning the expediency of government omnipotence. Those disagreeing with this theocratical justification of dictatorship claim for themselves the right to discuss freely the problems involved. They do not write state with a capital S. They do not shrink from analyzing the metaphysical notions of Hegelianism and Marxism. They reduce all this high-sounding oratory to the simple question: are the means suggested suitable to attain the ends sought? In answering this question, they hope to render a service to the great majority of their fellow men.
