Taylor had already spent some time in China, first in the employment of the Chinese Evangelization Society, and, after some difficulties with them, as an independent missionary. Refusing to appeal for funds but relying on unsolicited contributions, the China Inland Mission was set up to concentrate on the interdenominational evangelization on inland China, with emphasis on medical and educational work (Taylor having had medical training) and on women's missions, taking volunteers from all classes. Taylor insisted on the participation of the missionaries in Chinese life, for instance, the wearing of native dress. The initial structure of the mission was simple: Berger was the Home Director, controlling the receipt of funds and the training of candidates, while Taylor returned to China and, as General Director, was in charge of the mission's work in the field. When Berger retired in 1872, a London Council was set up to deal with home affairs, developing a Ladies' Council and Candidates' Committee reporting to it. In 1886 a China Council was formed in Shanghai to enable the Director to keep in contact with all the mission stations. As branches were started in America and Australasia, councils were set up there, too, but the China Inland Mission remained unusual in that its General Director was based in the mission field itself. Volunteers were sometimes scarce, but the departure of the 'Cambridge Seven' in 1885 publicized the mission so that 70 missionaries left for China that year, and 100 soon after. Several smaller missionary societies from Scandinavia and Germany were connected with the China Inland Mission as Associate Missions. By 1905, all 12 inland provinces had been entered, along with Burma, and even Eastern Tibet. The China Inland Mission began its work just as China was becoming more open to foreigners, but the missionaries still had to overcome hostility provoked by the Opium Wars and the China Inland Mission, with its far­flung outposts, was particularly badly hit by the massacres of foreigners during the Boxer Rebellion of 1900. It was quite easy to travel through China, but difficult for foreigners to settle there. Conditions varied in the early twentieth century but at last all foreigners had to withdraw in 1951, and the China Inland Mission, becoming the Overseas Missionary Fellowship, went to Singapore where it continues its work chiefly amongst Chinese immigrants. The main part of the Mission's surviving archive is with the Directorate in Singapore. The material deposited in SOAS Library, arranged in six divisions, comprises: 1) CIM, the material of the London Council, the China Inland Mission Corporation, set up in 1895 to own property for the mission, the minutes of the China Council and miscellaneous papers accumulated in China, some papers of the Associated Missions, and examples of the mission's publications. The minute books contain additional material, of which the most significant is noted in the list; 2) CIM/OMF, papers and publications of the Overseas Missionary Fellowship which was formed in 1951, when the CIM could no longer work in China, and began to concentrate on South East Asia instead; 3) CIM/JHT, the personal archive of Taylor, including letters, administrative and policy material, personnel and property records and accounts, and records of his time in the Chinese Evangelization Society; 4) CIM/PP, a collection of personal and private papers of missionaries; 5) CIM/CSP, a collection of papers of the Chefoo school for missionaries' children in China, and papers and publications of the Chefoo Schools Association, founded for old pupils and staff; 6) CIM/PHOTO, a large collection of photographic material. The present guide covers the first five divisions. There is a separate guide to CIM/PHOTO. This list originally compiled by Dr Nicola Castles in August 1993, incorporates additional material received in 1994.

Morrison pioneered the translation of the Bible into First Protestant Missionary to China Chinese and planned for the Born January 5, 1782 distribution of the Scriptures as broadly Bullers Green, Morpeth, Northumberland, as possible, unlike the previous Roman Catholic translation work that had England never been published.[2] Died August 1, 1834 (aged 52) Guangzhou, Guangdong, China Morrison cooperated with such contemporary missionaries as Walter Title D.D.

    EVANGELICAL REVIEW OF THEOLOGY VOLUME 14 Volume 14 • Number 2 • April 1990 Evangelical Review of Theology WORLD EVANGELICAL FELLOWSHIP Theological Commission p. 99 The Doctrine of Regeneration in the Second Century Victor K. Downing Printed with permission Having been raised within the evangelical community since birth, and having ‘gone forward’ at a Billy Graham crusade at the age of nine, there has never been any question in my mind as to what it means to be ‘born again’. However, since having begun to dabble in historical theology, the question has often occurred to me: ‘I wonder if Ignatius or Justin or Irenaeus understood John 3:7 as I understand it, and if not, why not?’. The purpose of this paper is not to critique twentieth-century evangelicalism’s doctrine of regeneration but to ponder this issue: if the idea of the ‘new birth’ is as foundational to the Christian faith, and the experience of the ‘new birth’ as central to the Christian life, as we evangelicals believe them to be; and if our (evangelical) view of regeneration is correct, as I presume most of us are convinced that it is; then why is it not more evident in the traditions of the sub-apostolic and early patristic Church? There are two reasons that I have chosen to examine the second century in particular. First, the person of Irenaeus provides us with an appropriate and convenient focal point. He lived and wrote at the close of the period and was the pre-eminent systematic theologian of the century and arguably the first in the history of the Church.

    Hudson Taylor's Spiritual Secret

    Hudson Taylor’s Spiritual Secret FOREWORD This record has been prepared especially for readers unfamiliar with the details of Mr. Hudson Taylor's life. Those who have read the larger biography by the present writers, or Mr. Marshall Broomhall's more recent presentation, will find little that is new in these pages. But there are many, in the western world especially, who have hardly heard of Hudson Taylor, who have little time for reading and might turn away from a book in two volumes, yet who need and long for just the inward joy and power that Hudson Taylor found. The desire of the writers is to make available to busy people the experiences of their beloved father—thankful for the blessing brought to their own lives by what he was, and what he found in God, no less than by his fruitful labors. Howard and Geraldine Taylor Philadelphia, May 21, 1932 Men are God's method. The church is looking for better methods; God is looking for better men. What the church needs today is not more machinery or better, not new organizations or more and novel methods, but men whom the Holy Ghost can use—men of prayer, men mighty in prayer. The Holy Ghost does not come on machinery, but on men. He does not anoint plans, but men—men of prayer . The training of the Twelve was the great, difficult and enduring work of Christ. It is not great talents or great learning or great preachers that God needs, but men great in holiness, great in faith, great in love, great in fidelity, great for God—men always preaching by holy sermons in the pulpit, by holy lives out of it.

There is Gno conceivable situation in which it is not safe to trust Him utterly. Such is the thesis of this book. For six decades the apostle of faith of the last century, George Muller, conducted five large orphan homes in dependence on God alone, neither making nor permitting any appeal to man. Thousands of orphans were given home and education and brought to the Saviour. But beneficent as was this ministry, he did not conceive it to be the primary object of these institutions. To him they· provided a unique opportunity of bringing home to a generation to whom He had become remote, the unfailing faithfulness of God.

    The Characteristics of Academic History on the Studies of Chinese Islam by Western Academic Circles

    Annals of Language and Literature Volume 4, Issue 4, 2020, PP 24-32 ISSN 2637-5869 The Characteristics of Academic History on the Studies of Chinese Islam by Western Academic Circles Alimu Tuoheti* Assistant Professor at Tohoku University, Japan *Corresponding Author: Alimu Tuoheti, Assistant Professor at Tohoku University, Japan ABSTRACT Western studies on Islam and Muslims in Mainland China can be divided into two parts according to geographical and linguistic boundaries: ○1Research in British and American, written in English; and ○2The European continent, mainly the research written in French, Russian, and German. Regarding the collection of academic achievements in these aspects and the staging of Western Islamic studies, the main purpose of my research is to comment on the key academic achievements in each period. This research mainly deals with the study of Islamic Chinese literature. Generally speaking, foreign scholarly research on Islam and Muslims in Mainland China clearly includes the Uyghur and other Turkic languages and the Hui nationality in Chinese. Due to the differences in history, language and culture of these nationalities, inevitable variations occur in research results and methods. The study of Chinese Islam in Western academic circles can be roughly divided into four stages, which will be discussed in chronological order and its characteristics.

    The Origins and Progress Of

    [AJPS 14:1 (2011), pp. 108-146] THE ORIGINS AND ORGANIZATIONAL DEVELOPMENTS OF THE PENTECOSTAL MISSIONARY ENTERPRISE IN CHINA R. G. Tiedemann We have taken for granted an obscure history of Pentecostalism for so long that the multitudes of nameless people responsible for its grassroots expansion have passed into history unremembered and their memory is now very difficult to retrieve. Allan Anderson1 The Pentecostal movement owes its inspiration and formation to the emergence of radical evangelical currents during the second half of the nineteenth century. These new religious movements were significantly different in their eschatological expectations and missionary methods and began to severely challenge mainstream Protestantism in Europe and North America. Several innovative theological currents had a decisive influence on the formation of a host of new denominations and new missionary bodies. Holiness Wesleyans, higher life fundamentalists, the ascendancy of premillennialism, including its dispensationalist variant, restorationist currents, sabbatarian ideas, as well as diverse strands of German and Scandinavian Pietism all contributed to forge the new Evangelicalism as a protest against the growing ‘worldliness’ of the ‘mainline’ Protestant denominations in Western countries.2 1 Allan Anderson, An Introduction to Pentecostalism (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2004), p. 175. 2 See Melvin Easterday Dieter, The Holiness Revival of the Nineteenth Century, 2nd ed. (Lanham, Md.: Scarecrow Press, 1996). For a brief background discussion and the relevant literature, see Allan Anderson, Spreading Fires: The Missionary Nature of Early Pentecostalism (London: SCM Press, 2007), Tiedemann, Pentecostal Missionary Enterprise 109 The Holiness leaders, for example, rejected the optimistic postmillennial convictions of mainline Protestantism. Instead, they insisted that the world was about to come to an apocalyptic conclusion, ushering in the imminent Second Coming of Christ prior to the establishment of his millennial kingdom on earth.
