Book Synopsis Christian Missionaries & the State in the Third World by : Holger Bernt Hansen
Download or read book Christian Missionaries & the State in the Third World written by Holger Bernt Hansen and published by James Currey Publishers. This book was released on 2002 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fact that many of the leaders in the Third World were educated by Christian missionaries is a decisive factor in world politics today. This book puts together examples of how Christian missionaries contributed to the construction, destruction and reconstruction of state structures in Africa and the Caribbean. They worked through educational activity, and attempts at healing and trade, as well as by preaching, prayer and other sacramental endeavours. In the nineteenth century after the abolition of the slave trade the character of the states encountered on both sides of the Atlantic were of critical importance. This was whether missionaries were African, Americans or Europeans, whatever their social origin or status and whether they were slave or free.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Analysis by a Rhodesian-born African missionary who studied in the West. Although the author believes that such actions as placing a moratorium on missions are ill-advised and unscriptural, the reasons behind them need to be understood. The abuses, the paternalism, the unnecessary self-perpetuation of Western domination needs to be corrected. Third World leadership needs to be fostered. But it will require the help of all Christians do do this. This book is a call for that help.

Book Synopsis Christian Mission by : Dana L. Robert
Download or read book Christian Mission written by Dana L. Robert and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2011-09-09 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: CHRISTIAN MISSION “Dana Robert distils a quarter of a century of her research into an erudite and accessible single-volume account of how Christianity became the largest religious tradition in the world. There is no better place for any reader to start becoming informed about this important subject.” David Hempton, Harvard University “Remarkable for the range and depth of the material Robert is able to pack into so short a book. Reliable and readable, it is especially valuable for its treatment of the relation between western and non-western missionary activity.” David A. Hollinger, University of California, Berkeley “Dana Robert’s richly textured book shows us that the history of Christian missions is far from being merely a European colonial story, and will be immensely valuable to students and general readers who are concerned to uncover the historical roots of Christianity’s current status as a truly global faith.” Brian Stanley, University of Edinburgh The Gospels record that Christ commanded his disciples to “go forth and teach all nations.” Thus began the history of Christian mission, a phenomenon which brought about massive shifts in the nature and practice of Christianity, and one that many say reflects the single most important movement of intercultural encounter over a sustained period of human history. To understand Christianity as a global movement, therefore, it is essential to study the role of mission – defined as the transmission of the Gospel across cultures. Erudite and enlightening, this brief book explores the 2,000 years of mission history, covering topics such as the meaning of the missionary through history, gender and missions, and missions in culture and politics. Given that in the twenty-first century, Christianity is now largely practiced outside the West, Christian Mission is an inspirational and invaluable resource to broaden our understanding of the nature of Christianity as a truly multi-cultural world religion.

Book Synopsis Missions, States, and European Expansion in Africa by : Chima J. Korieh
Download or read book Missions, States, and European Expansion in Africa written by Chima J. Korieh and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2007-11-21 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Missions, States, and European Expansion in Africa aims to explore the ways Christianity and colonialism acted as hegemonic or counter hegemonic forces in the making of African societies. As Western interventionist forces, Christianity and colonialism were crucial in establishing and maintaining political, cultural, and economic domination. Indeed, both elements of Africa’s encounter with the West played pivotal roles in shaping African societies during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. This volume uses a wide range of perspectives to address the intersection between missions, evangelism, and colonial expansion across Africa. The contributors address several issues, including missionary collaboration with the colonizing effort of European powers; disagreements between missionaries and colonizing agents; the ways in which missionaries and colonial officials used language, imagery, and European epistemology to legitimize relations of inequality with Africans; and the ways in which both groups collaborated to transform African societies. Thus, Missions, States, and European Expansion in Africa transcends the narrow boundaries that often separate the role of these two elements of European encounter to argue that missionary endeavours and official colonial actions could all be conceptualized as hegemonic institutions, in which both pursued the same civilizing mission, even if they adopted different strategies in their encounter with African societies.

Book Synopsis Christianity and Public Culture in Africa by : Harri Englund
Download or read book Christianity and Public Culture in Africa written by Harri Englund and published by Ohio University Press. This book was released on 2011-04-26 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christianity and Public Culture in Africa takes the reader beyond Africa’s apparent exceptionalism. African Christians have created new publics, often in ways that offer fresh insights into the symbolic and practical boundaries separating the secular and the sacred, the private and the public, and the liberal and the illiberal. Critical reason and Christian convictions have combined in surprising ways when African Christians have engaged with vital public issues such as national constitutions and gender relations, and with literary imaginings and controversies over tradition and HIV/AIDS. The contributors demonstrate how the public significance of Christianity varies across time and place. They explore rural Africa and the continent’s major cities, and colonial and missionary situations, as well as mass-mediated ideas and images in the twenty-first century. They also reveal the plurality of Pentecostalism in Africa and keep in view the continent’s continuing denominational diversity. Students and scholars will find these topical studies to be impressive in scope. Contributors: Barbara M. Cooper, Harri Englund, Marja Hinfelaar, Nicholas Kamau-Goro, Birgit Meyer, Michael Perry, Kweku Okyerefo, Damaris Parsitau, Ruth Prince, James A. Pritchett, Ilana van Wyk

And what of those Africans who profited from the slave trade and slavery? What were their perspectives? How do we access any of these experiences and views? This volume explores diverse sources such as oral testimonies, possession rituals, Arabic language sources, European missionary, administrative and court records and African intellectual writings to discover what they can tell us about slavery and the slave trade in Africa.

Book Synopsis One Zambia, Many Histories by : Giacomo Macola
Download or read book One Zambia, Many Histories written by Giacomo Macola and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2008-08-31 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In contrast to the rich tradition of academic analysis and understanding of the pre-colonial and colonial history of Zambia, the country’s post-colonial trajectory has been all but ignored by historians. The assumptions of developmentalism, the cultural hegemony of the United National Independence Party’s orthodoxy and its conflation with national interests, and a narrow focus on Zambia’s diplomatic role in Southern African affairs, have all contributed to a dearth of studies centring on the diverse lived experiences of Zambians. Inspired by an international conference held in Lusaka in August 2005, and presenting a broad range of essays on different aspects of Zambia’s post-colonial experience, this collection seeks to lay the foundations for a future process of sustained scholarly enquiry into the country’s most recent past.

Book excerpt: Evangelicals in the Shadows of Global Conflict In the twentieth century, a hidden chapter of the Cold War unfolded in Africa, shaped by American evangelical missionaries.

It explores the significant yet subtle role of faith in shaping international relations and cultural transformations in Congo, Ethiopia, and Kenya. The narrative brings to light key events and influential figures, unraveling the intricate web of religion and global power politics.

Book Synopsis Evangelical Christians in the Muslim Sahel by : Barbara M. Cooper
Download or read book Evangelical Christians in the Muslim Sahel written by Barbara M. Cooper and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2006-07-10 with total page 481 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This “fascinating historical account” of a Christian mission in Niger offers a personal and richly detailed look at religious institutions in the region (Religious Studies Review). Barbara M. Cooper looks closely at the Sudan Interior Mission, an evangelical Christian mission that has taken a tenuous hold in a predominantly Hausa Muslim area on the southern fringe of Niger. Based on sustained fieldwork, personal interviews, and archival research, this vibrant, sensitive, compelling, and candid book gives a unique glimpse into an important dimension of religious life in Africa. Cooper’s involvement in a violent religious riot provides a useful backdrop for introducing other themes and concerns such as Bible translation, medical outreach, public preaching, tensions between English-speaking and French-speaking missionaries, and the Christian mission’s changing views of Islam.
