Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of the American Board: An Account of the First Hundred Years of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions Even within these bounds it has been a difficult task to keep the story down. Only the more striking or instructive events could be at all dwelt upon. The labor of many stead fast years and the careers of noble and influential missionaries have Often been compressed into a sentence or omitted alto gether as like what had been already related of other lands or of other lives. Having always in mind the reader with but general and remote knowledge of the mission field, it seemed best to fix attention on selected scenes, typical, significant, or inspiring; to attempt a more comprehensive and balanced account might rather distract and confuse.

Book Synopsis The Story of the American Board's Mission in Japan by : M. L. Gordon
Download or read book The Story of the American Board's Mission in Japan written by M. L. Gordon and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-19 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of the American Board's Mission in Japan: 1869-1899 The writer gratefully acknowledges his indebtedness to the letters and articles of his colleagues as they appear in The Missionary Herald and in Life and Light; to the biographies of Neesima referred to in Chapter IV; to "Japan and its Rescue," by Rev. Dr. Hail; to "Japan and its Regeneration," a marvel of compact and orderly information, by Rev. Otis Cary; and to Rev. G. E. Albrecht's careful translation of Ritter's "History of Missions in Japan." He has frequently followed the thought, often using the very words of his own in "An American Missionary in Japan," permission to do this having been kindly given him by the publishers, Messrs. Houghton, Mifflin & Co. He lays down his pen with one strong regret, that a noble story has been so inadequately told and such scant justice done to the devoted services of so many members of the mission. The manuscript of the following sketch was prepared during the winter of 1899-1900. The importance of having such a record had for some time been felt, but no one had been chosen to perform the task. It is only just to say that the undertaking was entirely voluntary on the part of Dr. Gordon, who was then on a furlough after a long period of the most exacting labor and wearying anxiety of his entire missionary service of twenty-eight years. The toil of these years had unmistakably left its mark upon him, and many of his friends wished he had spared himself this new labor. Nevertheless, he gladly accepted this opportunity of further service, and began to prepare for the work with the utmost care and method. Later, he himself clearly recognized the unwisdom of the undertaking, but kept himself bravely at his task, though with great weariness of the flesh, and although there was even then creeping in upon him the fatal disease which ended his life November 4, 1900.

Book Synopsis The Role of the American Board in the World by : Clifford Putney
Download or read book The Role of the American Board in the World written by Clifford Putney and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2012-02-17 with total page 381 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions (ABCFM) was the country's first creator of overseas Christian missions. Founded in 1810 and supported by a coalition of Calvinist denominations, the ABCFM established the first American missions in India, China, Africa, Oceania, the Middle East, and many other places. It was America's largest missionary organization in the nineteenth century, and its influence was immense. Its missionaries established the first Western schools and hospitals in many parts of the world, and they successfully promoted women's rights and other ideals from the Enlightenment. They also transformed oral languages such as Zulu, Hawaiian, and Cherokee into written form, and they preserved many elements of premodern cultures (albeit not always intentionally). The contributors to this book provide valuable insights on the work of the ABCFM (which exists today under a different name). Some of the contributors profile the lives of notable ABCFM missionaries, others focus on ideological shifts within the Board, and still others chronicle the Board's role in historic events, including the Opium Wars, the colonization of Hawai'i, and the Armenian Genocide. From reading this book, people will come to understand why the ABCFM is widely viewed as America's most historically significant missionary organization.

Book Synopsis Teaching What Really Happened by : James W. Loewen
Download or read book Teaching What Really Happened written by James W. Loewen and published by Teachers College Press. This book was released on 2018-09-07 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Should be in the hands of every history teacher in the country.”— Howard Zinn James Loewen has revised Teaching What Really Happened, the bestselling, go-to resource for social studies and history teachers wishing to break away from standard textbook retellings of the past. In addition to updating the scholarship and anecdotes throughout, the second edition features a timely new chapter entitled "Truth" that addresses how traditional and social media can distort current events and the historical record. Helping students understand what really happened in the past will empower them to use history as a tool to argue for better policies in the present. Our society needs engaged citizens now more than ever, and this book offers teachers concrete ideas for getting students excited about history while also teaching them to read critically. It will specifically help teachers and students tackle important content areas, including Eurocentrism, the American Indian experience, and slavery. Book Features: An up-to-date assessment of the potential and pitfalls of U.S. and world history education. Information to help teachers expect, and get, good performance from students of all racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic backgrounds. Strategies for incorporating project-oriented self-learning, having students conduct online historical research, and teaching historiography. Ideas from teachers across the country who are empowering students by teaching what really happened. Specific chapters dedicated to five content topics usually taught poorly in today’s schools.
Book Synopsis History of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions by : Joseph Tracy
Download or read book History of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions written by Joseph Tracy and published by . This book was released on 1842 with total page 486 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The "History of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions, by the Rev. Joseph Tracy," is far from being a mere abstract of the Annual Reports of the Board. The civil year, to which he has reduced his facts, does not correspond to the financial year embraced in those Reports. This made it necessary for the author to consult the original documents, which he did with laborious and accurate research. The plan of his history, if not so well adapted as some other to continuous reading and popular effect, is admirably fitted for reference, and for aiding those on whom it may devolve to give instruction concerning missions at the Monthly Concert and elsewhere. What we say is of course not designed to imply, that the Board is in any way responsible for the correctness of the facts or opinions embodied in this work; but we may express our own conviction, that it will not soon be superseded by a history more comprehensive, more concise, more clear and accurate, or more worthy of occupying a place in the libraries of ministers of the gospel, and intelligent laymen. - Rufus Anderson, David Greene, Wm. J. Armstrong, Secretaries of the A.B.C.F.M. - Recommendations of the work
Book Synopsis North American Foreign Missions, 1810-1914 by : Wilbert R. Shenk
Download or read book North American Foreign Missions, 1810-1914 written by Wilbert R. Shenk and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2004 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The year 1810 marks the start of the North American foreign missions movement -- a movement begun with typical American enthusiasm and vigor but in need of practical grounding. This volume explores important facets of the development of North American foreign missions, paying particular attention to the role agencies like the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions (ABCFM) played in shaping the theology, theory, and policy of evangelistic activities overseas. Written by leading experts on missions and religious history, this volume is distinguished by its focus on key events taking place at the home base rather than on happenings in the foreign mission field. In doing so, these insightful studies shed light on important yet neglected topics, including the impact of debates about slavery on foreign missions, the emergence of distinctive mission strategies for women, the role of the social gospel as a missionary ideology, and the contribution of foreign missions to the creation of a global evangelical network. Contributors: Alvyn AustinRuth Compton Brouwer, Wendy J. Diechmann Edwards, Janet F. Fishburn, Paul Harris, David W. Kling, Charles A. Maxfield III, Susan Wilds McArver, John F. Piper Jr., Dana L. Robert, Richard Lee Rogers, Wilbert R. Shenk, Carol Ann Vaughn. bThis excellent volume will command widespread attention not only for its display of scholarly expertise but for the fresh and revealing light it throws on the principal landmarks and major themes in the history of missionary expansion overseas.b -- Andrew Porter Kingbs College London
Book Synopsis Assessing Accomplished Teaching by : National Research Council
Download or read book Assessing Accomplished Teaching written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2008-09-04 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The mission of the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards (NBPTS) is to establish "high and rigorous standards for what teachers should know and be able to do, to certify teachers who meet those standards, and to advance other education reforms for the purpose of improving student learning in American schools." In response to a request from the U.S. Congress, the National Research Council developed a framework for evaluating programs that award advanced-level teacher certification and applied that framework in an evaluation of the impacts of the NBPTS. Specifically, this book addresses the impacts on students, teachers, and the educational system in this country. Assessing Accomplished Teaching finds that teachers who earn board certification are more effective at improving their students' achievement than other teachers, but school systems vary greatly in the extent to which they recognize and make use of board-certified teachers. Many of the questions on the evaluation framework could not be answered because the data have not been collected, and the report makes recommendations for the kinds of research that are needed to fully evaluate the impacts of board certification by the NBPTS.
