Aldridge Jr Department of History and Politics School of Arts and Humanities University of Stirling A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Supervised by Professor David W. Bebbington 28 November 2012 I, Fredrick A. Aldridge Jr, declare that this thesis has been composed by me and that the work which it embodies is my work and has not been included in another thesis. ii Acknowledgements In the course of researching and writing this thesis I benefited from the assistance of a long list of Wycliffe Bible Translators (WBT) and SIL International (SIL) (formerly the Summer Institute of Linguistics) members, all of whom generously gave of their time and candidly shared their experiences. To Tom Headland goes particular appreciation for his encouragement, provision of obscure documents and many hours of answering inquisitive questions. Likewise I am indebted to Cal Hibbard, the archivist for the Townsend Archives, for his help on numerous occasions. Cal’s labours to collect, organize and preserve Townsend’s voluminous correspondence over the past several decades has rendered to historians a veritable goldmine. I also wish to thank WBT and SIL for granting me an extended study leave to pursue this research project. And I am especially grateful to WBT and SIL for the complete and unfettered access to the organization’s archives and for permitting me the freedom to research the development of the organization wherever the sources led. The staff and faculty at the University of Stirling were ever helpful.

CHAPTER 18 An Outpouring of "Faithful" Words Protestant Publishing in the United States William Vance Trollinger Jr. Central to Protestant doctrine is the conviction that religious authority rests in Scripture alone. "Sola Scriptura" notwithstanding, Protestantism was and is more than simply a religion of the Word. It is a religion of many words, those that are preached, prayed, sung, and-of special interest to this volume­ words that are printed. Nowhere have more Protestant words been printed than in the United States. Optimistically evangelical, American Protestants have re­ lied upon the written word to convert people, to inspire individuals to higher callings, and to effect moral behavior. From their first settlements, Protestants poured forth a stream of religious publications. Between 188o and 1940, they inundated the American landscape with Bibles, hymnals, tracts, Sunday School lessons, novels, and nonfiction books. Despite this deluge, the historiography of Protestant printing is quite lim­ ited.

  • WHO REPRESENTS the EVANGELICAL CHURCHES in LATIN AMERICA? a STUDY of the EVANGELICAL FELLOWSHIP ORGANIZATIONS by Daryl Lynn Plat
    WHO REPRESENTS THE EVANGELICAL CHURCHES IN LATIN AMERICA? A STUDY OF THE EVANGELICAL FELLOWSHIP ORGANIZATIONS By Daryl Lynn Platt A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the School of World Mission And Institute of Church Growth FULLER THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Missiology June 1991 ¡Error!Marcador no definido. ABSTRACT Platt, Daryl Lynn 1991 Who Represents The Evangelical Churches In Latin America? A Study Of The Evangelical Fellowship Organizations. Fuller Theological Seminary, School of World Mission, Doctor of Missiology, pp. 378. The focus of this study brings recognition to the representative interdenominational organizations which give coordinated leadership to the Protestant/Evangelical churches in the countries of Latin America. For study purposes they are designated here as evangelical fellowship organizations. Although they exist in some form in each country throughout Latin America and represent the top leadership structures among the evangelical ministries, the importance of these organizations has been relatively unrecognized in missiological circles. The study begins with an overview survey of Latin American history focusing on the convergence of social and religious factors in the 19th century which favored the beginning of the evangelical movement and contributed to the diverse nature of the churches of the region. More extensive background information is provided for the ten countries of the South American continent in the form of national historic profiles which present significant data related to the beginnings of evangelical ministries in each of these countries. Finally, the statutory documents from the evangelical fellowship organizations of all nine Spanish-speaking South American countries are then compared and analyzed to authenticate the nature and the function of these inter-church bodies.

  • Acknowledgments Many People, for Many Years, Have Discussed The
    Acknowledgments Many people, for many years, have discussed the need for a record of the Brethren assemblies in North America. David Rodgers, long associated with Emmaus Bible College and assemblies in Iowa and elsewhere, is one of these, and is the person who has done most to promote and encourage the writing of this book. He has provided continuing encouragement and has been an invaluable help in identifying and contacting people who could provide information, and urging their cooperation. Emmaus Bible College, in the persons of Chancellor Dan Smith, Librarian John Rush, and several of the faculty, has been indispensable to this project: the Chancellor with his encouragement; the Librarian with his willingness to put the resources of the library at my disposal and for answering lots of questions; and the faculty who in several ways have encouraged me along the way and critiqued portions of the manuscript at various stages of writing. Many respondents to the questionnaires sent to them have done much more than provide information about their own assemblies; they have provided assistance in the form of information and contacts for other assemblies. Many people have patiently responded several times to my repeated questioning. When I have been reasonably satisfied with a draft for a certain region of the continent, I have sent it to a reviewer for comments, corrections, and additions. The assistance provided by the reviewers has been invaluable. Many reviewers have supplied a great amount of additional information and have obviously spent a considerable amount of time and energy in doing so. To all these people, indispensable to this project, I give my heartfelt thanks.

Aldridge Jr. A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts Degree in Liberal Studies Excelsior College Albany, New York January 22, 2007 1 CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION This thesis is a study of the development of William Cameron Townsend’s (1896- 1982) perspective on the role of “nationals”1 in the Summer Institute of Linguistics (SIL). In 1934, Townsend founded SIL to carry out Bible translation for the indigenous peoples of Latin America. After 1950, SIL expanded into Asia and Africa where Bible translation was initiated amongst minority peoples who still lacked the Christian scriptures in their own languages. Into the 1960s, only western expatriates were members2 of SIL. However, by the 1970s, the issue of nationals joining SIL as full members on an equal basis with western expatriates became a topic of ongoing discussion in the organization. Although Townsend had always championed the rights of indigenous and non-western peoples, the strategy that he employed when establishing SIL was not conducive to non-western membership.
