  • Avoiding the Tentmaker Trap
    AVOIDING THE TENTMAKER TRAP A special edition for the Bedouin CD Not to be copied in any way This book was re-edited in 1997 and printed by WEC International. Second printing 1999, Third Printing 2002. To obtain the latest version with up-to-date appendicies etc., please contact WEC International Dan Gibson 2002 1 Chapter One Tom and Sue (A case study) Tom and Sue were excited. Their interest in missions had been growing for several years now and finally the pieces were falling together. Several weeks back Tom responded to an advert in a professional journal for a position in the Middle East and the reply was positive. The company wanted them in two weeks time! At first they were taken back by the suddenness of it all, but the company was adamant that they must come in two weeks or else someone else would fill the position. They spent a long evening together discussing the pro's and cons. Tom would have to quit his job at the plant. Sue would need to leave her work at the flower shop. It would mean leaving their church and close friends. That much seemed normal, although a little frightening. They had grown used to the security that comes from a steady job, income and the support of their church. But Sue was excited about the possibilities of missions. The more they discussed it the more excited they got. First of all they wouldn't have to join a mission organization. They were painfully aware of a young couple from their church who had spent several years trying to raise enough support for missions and then had fallen short and were now trying to sort their lives out.

  • Fazio | 1 Presented at the Council on Dispensational Hermeneutics
    F a z i o | 1 Presented at the Council on Dispensational Hermeneutics September 18-19, 2019 – Calvary University, Belton, Missouri Dispensational Thought as Motivation for Social Activism among Early Plymouth Brethren James I. Fazio Introduction Over the past two centuries, the community of Christians known as the Plymouth Brethren have been known for several traits that stem from a strict adherence to a theologically conservative view of Scripture’s authority and sufficiency as understood through a literalistic interpretation. This approach to Scripture has resulted in an orientation that could be generally described as evangelical, if not fundamentalist, with several nuances, including a primitivist ecclesiology that maintains a low church orientation, a premillennial eschatology that is consistent with a dispensational understanding of Scripture, and a Calvinistic soteriology that emphasizes separatism from the world and other corrupting influences. It may also be added that the Brethren have become as well defined by what they stand against as what they stand for. In this way, they may be well characterized as anti-denominational, anti-creedal, anti-liturgical, and anti-clerical. Many of these named qualities are commonly recognized by those who possess even a scant familiarity with those who identify with the label Brethren. What is less immediately recognized is that among the most prominent contributions made by this community of dispensational-minded believers is the indelible mark they have left on the developing world through their unrivaled efforts in international and cross-cultural missionary outreach and a distinct zeal for social activism. F a z i o | 2 Some may be aware of the itinerate ministry of John Nelson Darby (1800–1882) in Switzerland, throughout Europe, and in North America, including his original translation work of the Hebrew and Greek Testaments into English, French, and German.

ABSTRACT This research is a fulfilment of the author’s long-standing desire to furnish the Korea Baptist convention with its complete history. Particular emphasis has been given to the ideological development of the denomination from its origin in 1889 to present. It is hoped that this research will provided intellectual guidance for the convention and serve as a credible chapter in the historical and theological development of Korean Christianity especially Baptists and Pentecostals-Charismatics. Being the first attempt in compiling a comprehensive, scientific history of the denomination, this work based largely upon primary sources, many of them are unpublished.
