  • Calvin and World Mission
    edition afem mission classics 6 edition afem • mission classics 6 At the end of the ‘Calvin-Year’, in which Christians all over the world celebrate Calvin’s 500th birthday, this books emphasizes Calvin’s role for establishing a Protestant mission theology which later led to a worldwide expansion of Protestant Christianity. The book Thomas Schirrmacher (Ed.) presents major articles on the topic through 125 years of history and from different viewpoints from 1882 to 2002. Some of the articles discuss Calvin and his writings and thinking on mission alone. Some add the question, what kind of mission has been organized from Geneva during Calvins time, because Calvin did not only speak about evangelism and mission, but also helped establish it in reality, even though on a quite small scale compared to later centuries. CalvinCalvin and and Some articles go further, and follow the students and followers of Calvin and their relation to mission through history. Thus sometimes the wider topic of ‘Calvinism and Mission’is included. This book has not been edited to defend ‘Calvinism’ and its dogmatic system. This has WorldWorld Mission Mission even from Calvinism’s own firm position to be done on exegetical grounds. Nevertheless some of the authors wrote their articles as a defence of Calvinism or at least as very convinced Calvinists. Others write more from a neutral point of view as historical researchers.

WITH ILLUSTRATIONS BY H. C. FORD. BOSTON: ROBERTS BROTHERS. 1886. Copyright, 1886, BY ROBERTS BROTHERS. University Press: JOHN WILSON AND SON, CAMBRIDGE. PREFACE. SANTA BARBARA does not need to have untruths published regarding its climate, surroundings, and natural attractions. They are so nearly perfect, so varied and beautiful, that it is superfluous to exaggerate them. The following pages contain no statement that has not been verified. The aim has been to picture truthfully, rather than entertainingly. The region described is peculiar unto itself, and has no counterpart in America. The popularity of Santa Barbara as a resort increases every year. In a great measure it is to America what Nice and Mentone are to Europe. Santa Barbara and around there. By Edwards Roberts. With illustrations by H.C.
