  • Juvenile Missionary Biographies, C. 1870-1917 'Thesis Submitted in Accordance with the Requirem
    Imagining the Missionary Hero: Juvenile Missionary Biographies, c. 1870-1917 ‘Thesis submitted in accordance with the requirements of the University of Liverpool for the degree of Doctor in Philosophy by Julie Anne McColl.’ December 2017 ABSTRACT This thesis examines the fascinating and complex body of work surrounding the missionary hero as a product of late imperial ideas of the heroic produced in the form of biography. It will concentrate upon how the literature was appropriated, reproduced and disseminated via the Sunday school network to working-class children between 1870 and 1917. It will discuss how biographers through imaginative narrative strategies and the reframing of the biography as an adventure story, were able to offer children a physical exemplar and self-sacrificial hero who dispensed clear imperial ideas and moral values. This thesis will reflect upon how the narratives embedded in dominant discourses provided working-class children with imperial ideologies including ideas of citizenship and self-help which it will argue allowed groups of Sunday school readers to feel part of an imagined community. In doing so, the thesis sheds important new light on a central point of contention in the considerable and often heated discussion that has developed since the 1980s around the impact of empire on British people.Through an analysis of common themes it will also consider the depiction of women missionaries, asking whether biographical representation challenged or reinforced traditional gender ideologies. To interrogate these components effectively this thesis is divided into two parts, Part One is divided into five chapters providing context, while Part Two will look in detail at the repetition and adaption of common themes.

  • DEVELOPMENT and DYNAMICS of CHRISTIAN THEOLOGY Part 2
    NCMI TRAINING MANUAL DEVELOPMENT AND DYNAMICS OF CHRISTIAN THEOLOGY Part 2 By Ian McKellar, Adapted by Leschenne D. Honiball This document may be duplicated whole, or in part, in any form (written, visual, electronic or audio) without express written permission, providing it is not used for commercial purposes. Development and Dynamics of Christian Theology in History (1500 - Modern Day) HISTORY LESSON ―History repeats itself. Has to, no one listens.‖ - Steve Turner ―…my people are destroyed for their lack of knowledge‖ Hosea 4:6 INTRODUCTION Church History is a most exciting subject. It teaches us so many things that would be difficult to learn in any other way. We must learn the patterns of history so that we do not keep on repeating the mistakes of the past and can begin to sow good seed so that we can reap the revivals of the future. In the Church today there is a great lack of the foundations of the faith; there is a great lack of the foundations of the faith; there is a great lack of understanding of where we have come from. Therefore it is difficult to see where we are going. Francis Schaeffer said, ―There is a flow to history and culture.‖ Once we begin to see and understand this flow we can begin to rise up with new faith for what God is doing in our day and for what God has promised in the future. In this course of Church History, there are four things we would like to highlight. Once you have finished the course, we trust that you have understood and gripped these four things: 1.

  • Austin J S Moffat and the Mat
    IiraiVB.RSlTY COLLEGE OF HHODBSIA HBNDSBSQN SEMINAR PAPER HO. 10 J.S,MOFFAT AND THE MATABEL3 MISSION. 1857 - 1865 by G. VERDAL AUSTIN "The sword, may blot out the Ma+abeles the Gospel alone can save them..."(l) Christianity in Rhodesia has been closely linked with the formal occupation of the country by Europeans. Although the religious pioneers of Inyati preceded their political counterparts by thirty years, it took the power of this secular arm of western civilis­ ation to create the circumstances whereby Christianity could take root. Although this paper does not set out directly to prove or disprove the conquest before Christianity theory, it becomes very apparent in s+udying John Smith Moffat's religious work in Matabeleland between 1859 and I865 that secular conquest of the Ndebele state was a pre­ requisite to missionary endeavour. A miracle was needed in Matabele­ land between the establishment of the state in the early 1840s and the later half of the century if Christianity was to succeed without the hacking of political power. This miracle did not occur for a number of reasons, and the violent powor of man and his weapons replaced the power of God as the catalyst of conversion. One major thematic difference between Moffat's religious and political roles in Matabeleland is that in his former role he failed in his task, whereas his political work did much to hurry the dawn of Christianity which he had longed for since 1859* It is ironic that as a missionary in the country he came to believe that the breakup of the Ndebele state was probably the only solution, while he baulked from this violent solution in the 1890s when it had become inevitable.

  • David Livingstone, Missionary Explorer: Recommended Resources David Livingstone, Missionary Explorer Editors
    Issue 56: David Livingstone: Missionary-explorer in Africa David Livingstone, Missionary Explorer: Recommended Resources David Livingstone, Missionary Explorer editors To paraphrase the writer of Ecclesiastes, of the making of books about David Livingstone there is no end —they number over a hundred. The following are simply those we found most helpful in preparing the issue. Those without publishers are out-of-print but available through inter-library loan. In-print books may be ordered through Books Now at 800-962-6651 x1248 or at http://www.booksnow.com/christianhistory.htm. About Livingstone Pick a Livingstone you want to explore, and there is a biography written with that slant. Interested in a devout explorer? Try the The Life of David Livingstone by William G. Blakie (1905). Most modern treatments try to balance this older view, though they tend to undersell Livingstone's missionary ambition. Oliver Ransford explores the psychological makeup of the man in his David Livingstone: The Dark Interior (1978). George Martelli, in Livingstone's River (1969), focuses on the Zambezi Expedition, which leaves the reader with a more troubling view of the explorer. For a truly engaging and balanced biography, read Livingstone (Trafalgar Square, 1994) by novelist Tim Jeal. By Livingstone The three books Livingstone wrote still make for gripping reading, especially the first: Missionary Travels and Researches in South Africa (recently republished by Ayer Co.). His other two accounts are Narrative of an Expedition to the Zambezi and Its Tributaries (1865), and Last Journals of David Livingstone in Central Africa: 1858-1873 (1875), edited by Horace Waller. To get a glimpse of the private Livingstone, you'll want to see two books edited by I.

    Liberty University At the Edge of Two Worlds: Mary Slessor and Gender Roles in Scottish African Missions A Thesis Submitted to Dr. Douglas Mann The Faculty of the Division of History In Candidacy for the Degree of Master of Arts in History Department of History By S. Marcia Lennon Lynchburg, Virginia May 1, 2010 Copyright 2010 by Sarah M. Lennon All rights reserved CONTENTS INTRODUCTION . 1 TRAVEL IN THE EMPIRE . 33 TEACHER AND PREACHER. .. 51 DEFENDER AND PROTECTOR. .65 CONCLUSION . 92 BIBLIOGRAPHY . 97 i Introduction Mary Mitchell Slessor, born in 1848 in Aberdeen and raised in the textile city of Dundee, Scotland after 1859, was shaped by the influence of Victorian standards of conduct and gender for Britain’s working class. Slessor spent much of her childhood on the streets of Dundee, an industrial city which relied heavily on the textile industry.1 Her father, Robert Slessor, a shoemaker in Aberdeen, lost his job due to his unreliability and drinking habits, so the family had moved to Dundee where Mr. Slessor likely hoped to find employment for himself and his family in the mills. While Mrs. Slessor and Mary began working in the mills right away, for the next eleven years until his death in 1870, Mr. Slessor had trouble keeping a job, and drank what little the family made, forcing his wife and daughter to find ways to make the finances stretch. More than once Mary hurried through dark alleys to sell belongings at the pawn shop and then pay bills before her father got home at night.2 Until she turned fourteen, Slessor worked half days at the mills, alternating mornings and afternoons with school attendance, after which she began 3 working full twelve hour shifts, but continued to attend school at night when she could.

The series makes no pretence of adding new facts to those already known. The aim rather is to give to the world of to-day a fresh interpretation and a richer understanding of the life and work of great missionaries. The enterprise is being undertaken by the United Council for Missionary Education, for whom the series is published by the Student Christian Movement. K. M. A. E. C.

    Lubbe Robert Moffat’s Setswana Bible J.J. Lubbe “BY PATIENCE, LABOUR AND prayer. The voice of the Unseen God in the language of the Bechuana Nation.” A reflection ON THE HISTORY OF ROBERT MOFFAT’S SETSWANA BIBLE (1857)1 ABSTRACT The translation of the Bible into Setswana by Robert Moffat in 1857 was the first in an African language in sub­Sahara Africa and also the first Bible to be printed here — at the mission station at Kuruman, 150 years ago. This Bible translation had an enormous influence, reaching the Batswana people in different countries in Southern Africa and is still held in high esteem by them. The question should be asked why? What made Mof­ fat’s Setswana Bible so popular? The relevant primary sources — collected and studied as the focus of this article — suggest that it might have been the daily life and work of this missionary and his wife for nearly half a century amongst the Batswana. Robert and Mary Moffat convinced “the Bechuana nation” to accept and read the Gospel in their own language, by living “the voice of the Unseen God”. 1. INTRODUCTION The following inscription appeared on the flyleaf of the 1872 Setswana Bible, in the possession of the Kuruman Moffat Mission: The language of the Bechuana Nation in which nothing had ever been writ­ ten, was by patience, labour and prayer acquired, and into that language, this the Holy Bible, the voice of the Unseen God, proclaiming redemption to all through the Lord Jesus Christ has been translated and now read by many thousands.

  • The Life, Work and Influence Of
    The Life, Work and Influence of JOHANNES JULmS AUGUST PROZESKY (1840-1915), Missionary of t~e Berlin Missionary Society in South Africa " Thesis submitted by OSKAR EDUARD PROZESKY in fulfilment of the academic requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Religious Studies, University of Natal, Pietermaritzburg 1995 i ABSTRACT Johannes Julius August Prozesky (1840-1915) spent 34 years (1866- 1900) as a missionary of the Berlin Missionary Society in Natal. At the Konigsberg mission station which he founded south-west of Newcastle in 1868 he attempted to create a model Christian commun­ ity governed by his own strict paternalistic discipline and char­ acterized by his motto "Work and pray". Notably pro-Boer, he was tried and found guilty of high treason by the British during the Anglo-Boer War and sentenced to a heavy fine and a year's im­ prisonment. After two years in Germany (1901-1903) he returned to South Africa to work in a substitutionary capacity in the Cape Colony at Amalienstein (1903-05) and Laingsburg (1905-07). In semi-retirement in Heidelberg, Transvaal (1908-13) he acted as assistant to his son-in-law, Rev. Hermann Muller. Prozesky was a missionary in the fundamentalist, pietist, escha­ tological mould: his chief concern was to save as many souls as possible from perdition before the Judgement Day which he believed to be imminent. In the practical sphere he attempted to prepare the blacks under his care for the life of manual toil which he believed would remain their lot in white-dominated South Africa .
