Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are many heroes in the Chinese church. Today, humanly speaking, it should not exist - having been stamped out by the pressure of authorities prior to, and during, the Communist era. Yet today the church is larger than ever - and still growing. Some of this phenomenon can be attributed to the quality of leadership in the Church. People suffered for their faith, often in brutal and cruel ways, yet God maintained their faith in remarkable ways. Whilst there were many leaders of equally courageous stature in the church, three men have stood out in the 20th century. Wang Ming-Dao, Nee Duo-Sheng (Watchman Nee) and Yang Shao-Tang (David Yang) Leslie Lyall knew all three as a friend, and worked with two of them. He brings out their different personalities, analyses the effect they had on the church and compares their views in some key areas. All three worked outside the 'official' church, all three knew and respected each other. Their stories are inspiring, terrifying, solemn and joyous. They are an encouragement to us all.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Conversion has played a central role in the history of Christianity. In this first in-depth and wide-ranging narrative history, David Kling examines the dynamic of turning to the Christian faith by individuals, families, and people groups. Global in reach, the narrative progresses from early Christian beginnings in the Roman world to Christianity's expansion into Europe, the Americas, China, India, and Africa. Conversion is often associated with a particular strand of modern Christianity (evangelical) and a particular type of experience (sudden, overwhelming). However, when examined over two millennia, it emerges as a phenomenon far more complex than any one-dimensional profile would suggest. No single, unitary paradigm defines conversion and no easily explicable process accounts for why people convert to Christianity. Rather, a multiplicity of factors-historical, personal, social, geographical, theological, psychological, and cultural-shape the converting process. A History of Christian Conversion not only narrates the conversions of select individuals and peoples, it also engages current theories and models to explain conversion, and examines recurring themes in the conversion process: divine presence, gender and the body, agency and motivation, testimony and memory, group- and self-identity, "authentic" and "nominal" conversion, and modes of communication. Accessible to scholars, students, and those with a general interest in conversion, Kling's book is the most satisfying and comprehensive account of conversion in Christian history to date; this major work will become a standard must-read in conversion studies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Brother Bakht Singh Chabra, a Sikh convert, was one of the foremost evangelists and Bible teachers in India. Bakht Singh was well known as a pioneer in gospel contextualization and a proponent of indigenous Indian churches. The movement and assemblies he established were often viewed as splinter groups from mainstream churches and many considered his teachings and theology as negatively syncretic. In this publication, Dr Bharathi Nuthalapati establishes that Bakht Singh’s theology was rooted in the Indian spirituality of experience through personal relationship and devotion to God or Bhakti. Brother Singh Christianized Bhakti and in his hands Bhakti became a Christian idiom. The author also analyzes how pre-Christian, Sikh elements persisted in Bakht Singh’s movement while remaining theologically orthodox, as well as how various aspects of Indian religiosity and biblical and western Christianity were adopted, rejected, reinterpreted, or revolutionized in his movement.

Book excerpt: During the early twentieth century in China, a number of key economic leaders converted to Christianity. Whilst strongly influenced by cultural heritage, powerful modernizing forces and tumultuous political changes, the new Christian identity inculcated by Protestant missionaries motivated these entrepreneurs to modify their business practices, improve their social environment and extend the influence of Christianity. Protestant and Catholic sojourners likewise made significant contributions into their adopted communities. With unprecedented economic growth in China today, a fascinating contemporary parallel can be seen, particularly through the influence of Pentecostal, charismatic and evangelical training. Previous research has explored the emergence of the urban Christian élite in modern China. However, this systematic study provides new understanding of how Christian identity motivates Chinese business Christians toward economic, social and religious contribution.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book situates Nee's view within the rich heritage of the Protestant, Catholic, and Eastern Orthodox spiritual traditions, and thus renders Nee's thought more intelligible to Christians of both evangelical and more liberal persuasions. In this book Dongsheng John Wu examines Watchman Nee's thought on the spiritual life, focusing on the relationship between spiritual formation and spiritual knowledge. Different ways of acquiring spiritual understanding are explored, including the respective roles of divine illumination, intellectual studies, and life circumstances. Understanding Watchman Nee begins by synthesizing strategic aspects of Nee's teachings as well as formative events and sources in the development of Nee's own spirituality and theology. It then utilizes the critical work of contemporary theologian Mark McIntosh to bring Nee's voice into dialogue with some important figures in the history of Christian spirituality. Such interactions reveal that Nee's crucial theological convictions exhibit strong parallels with related themes found in the church's spiritual or mystical treasures.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Christian church was always destined to find its way to China. Long before the birth of the church, China existed, coalescing around profound philosophical concepts and powerful cultural symbols. It developed into a dynamic and enduring civilization. In time, Christian missionaries arrived on its shores, driven to bring the gospel to this people. This book starts with the story of that journey: the arrival of the missionaries who planted the seeds of the gospel in Chinese soil. As the seeds sprouted and grew, a new story of a unique and distinct Chinese church began. The epic narrative opens from uncertain beginnings in darkness, passes through intense hardship and years of struggle, and culminates with the triumphal emergence of the Chinese church from the shadows into the light of the global stage.

Book excerpt: ……一百多年后的今天，有许多中国人涌入非洲，也催生了“非漂”这一个时代名词。今天的中国已经不是清末穷困的中国。今天富裕的中国用金钱开拓非洲，许多中国人也随着国家的步伐前来。对他们来说，非洲就像90年代改革开放后不久的中国，到处充满商机。同时，非洲也像是一片神秘的原野，需要去探索，需要去驯服。他们有些是自愿前来，有些非自愿。他们是非漂。 “非漂”的意思是在非洲漂泊。这里不是他们永久的家，他们途经这里，就像途经人生的旷野，然而上帝却在此与他们相遇。就像书里的嘉。她在当研究生的时候来到这城做交换生，也爱上了这片土地。毕业后她即当了“非漂”。在短短半年内，她攀爬了十二座连许多本地人都不认识的山。后来她说：“其实我那时候心里非常烦躁，所以我爬山，每一个星期爬一座山，尝试从登顶的经验中找到心灵的满足，但是我的心却依然烦躁。”在“非漂”生涯中，她尝试从非洲的神秘原野山岭中寻找超然的意义，然而走入旷野的上帝她相遇，叫她在上帝的奥秘中找到了降服的地方。像菊花，她被人忽悠到非洲，然后被陷入狱。一年牢狱像旷野；粗犷、干旱，却有很多泪水。然而上帝与她相遇，叫她的泪水都融入了生命的泉水里。像永健，在东非三国辗转“漂流”，上帝与他相遇，叫他找到真正的安息。我在书中如此写道：“这七年，我们也像‘流浪群体’，在人来人往中建立关系，分享生命，活出福音，因为我们深信上帝是走入旷野寻找漂泊人的上帝，叫‘非漂’的中国人在旅途中找到了永远的家。” 上帝走入旷野，从百年前的山西，到今天的非洲。上帝走入旷野？不是吗？上帝在耶稣基督里，从天上来到地上，没有枕头的地方，最后被遗弃在城外。走入旷野，好叫在旷野的人可以回家。感谢神！让我能够把上帝行在旷野的足迹轻轻地记录了。谢谢文桥为我出版《走入旷野的上帝》。谢谢香港宣德的吴望华姐妹，她在我书写内地会的山西故事时，给了我很大的帮助。谢谢海外基督使团的国际总主任冯浩鎏医生为我写序。谢谢与我同行的同工们以及教会。谢谢你们愿意翻卷走入旷野的故事！ ——黄伟恩（摘录自《自序》） . ▌作者简介黄伟恩 2002年与妻文爱加入国际差会。曾参与东亚教会的宣教动员以及培训工作。现驻东非，建立跨族团队和教会，鼓励非洲教会参与非洲的华人散居民的福音事工。伟恩在马来西亚理科大学毕业后，在马来西亚浸信会神学完成院道学硕士以及宣教学博士。著作有由文桥出版的《铁刺网内花盛开》《从那高山到那低谷》，与诸家共著《最大的福音浪潮涌进来》。盼望继续成为有故事的人，也常常聆听别人的故事，走进别人的故事，继续写故事，也邀请他人走进故事里；在有声音、有颜色、有触感、有动感、有感情的世界里，看见上帝的救赎故事，生命因而被触动。

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In almost 500 years of evangelical praying, there has never been a book like this. ÒTeach Us to PrayÓ is in effect four books in one. It begins with a detailed analysis of the biblical theology of prayer, surveying each part of the Scriptures in turn. Next comes an investigation of prayer and spirituality within Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam, historic Christianity (Puritanism) and a different Christian contemporary tradition (Roman Catholicism). In addition, expert commentators offer ÒLessons in Prayer from the Worldwide Church,Ó featuring Korea, China, Latin America and Africa. Finally a group of Christian leaders write about prayer in their individual experience, adding a personal dimension to this comprehensive book. This is a full library on the subject of prayer, conserving the best insights of the past and breaking new ground with penetrating original thinking.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers an analysis of the historical, theological, and social conditions that give rise to the growth of pentecostalism among contemporary Vietnamese evangelicals. Emerging from the analysis is an understanding of how underprivileged evangelicals have utilized the pentecostal emphasis on divine intervention in their pursuit of the betterment of life amid religious and ethnic marginalization. Within the context of the global growth of pentecostalism, Vietnamese Evangelicals and Pentecostalism shows how people at the grassroots marry the deeply local-based meaning dictated by the particularity of living context and the profoundly universal truth claims made by a religion aspiring to reach all four corners of the earth to enhance life.

This book was released on 2019-03-07 with total page 470 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The five-volume Oxford History of Protestant Dissenting Traditions series is governed by a motif of migration ('out-of-England'). It first traces organized church traditions that arose in England as Dissenters distanced themselves from a state church defined by diocesan episcopacy, the Book of Common Prayer, the Thirty-Nine Articles, and royal supremacy, but then follows those traditions as they spread beyond England-and also traces newer traditions that emerged downstream in other parts of the world from earlier forms of Dissent. Secondly, it does the same for the doctrines, church practices, stances toward state and society, attitudes toward Scripture, and characteristic patterns of organization that also originated in earlier English Dissent, but that have often defined a trajectory of influence independent ecclesiastical organizations. Volume IV examines the globalization of dissenting traditions in the twentieth century. During this period, Protestant Dissent achieved not only its widest geographical reach but also the greatest genealogical distance from its point of origin. Covering Africa, Asia, the Middle East, America, Europe, Latin America, and the Pacific, this collection provides detailed examination of Protestant Dissent as a globalizing movement. Contributors probe the radical shifts and complex reconstruction that took place as dissenting traditions encountered diverse cultures and took root in a multitude of contexts, many of which were experiencing major historical change at the same time. This authoritative overview unambiguously reveals that 'Dissent' was transformed as it travelled.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Missionary Primitivism and Chinese Modernity: the Brethren in Twentieth-Century China, David Woodbridge offers an account of a little-known Protestant missionary group. Often depicted as extreme and marginal, the Brethren were in fact an influential force within modern evangelicalism. They sought to recreate the life of the primitive church, and to replicate the simplicity and dynamism of its missionary work. Using newly-released archive material, Woodbridge examines the activities of Brethren missionaries in diverse locations across China, from the cosmopolitan treaty ports to the Mongolian and Tibetan frontiers. The book presents a fascinating encounter between primitivist missionaries and a modernising China, and reveals the important role of the Brethren in the development of Chinese Christianity.

As a cultural force it continues to affect the perceptions and practices of Chinese pastors and how they lead. This work seeks to build an indigenous approach to developing church leaders by understanding the theoretical, and the situational foundations, of relational leadership from both cultural and biblical perspectives. The research is further enriched through case studies and interviews observing the practices of leadership in contemporary Chinese churches.
