The Earliest Christian Heretics $24 “The earliest Christian heretics. “Hultgren and Haggmark have brought together in one volume all of the major orthodox references to persons and theological movements of the first two Christian centuries that were subsequently branded as ‘heretical.’ In so doing, the editors have done a great service for instructors in early Christian history.. The volume’s brief introduction not only helps contextualize the heterodox thinkers or movements in their time but also helps relate the concerns that they addressed in the first and second centuries to those of the late twentieth century. . For those readers as well as for scholars who would like to have a ready reference, this is a useful volume.” -Church History “The Earliest Christian Heretics is a ‘user-friendly’ anthology that will be a great help to both the beginning student and specialized scholar and teacher of early Christianity. Whereas once the researcher had to rifle through the cumbersome volumes of the Ante-Nicene Fathers series, now she can reach for this handy compendium to find all major heresiological entries for the first two centuries presented in a simple, clear format.” -Journal of Early Christian Studies “A highly useful compendium of well chosen early Christian writings (in English) directed against a wide variety of heretics, especially Gnostics.” -Robert M. Grant, University of Chicago “This book fills a surprising gap. It is highly recommended as a classroom resource for college and seminary, a study guide for the interested nonexpert, and even a handy tool for the graduate student of scholar for quick reference to sources otherwise scattered.” -Carolyn Osiek, Catholic Theological Union Arland J. Hultgren is Asher O.and Carrie Nasby Professor of New Testament, and Steven A. Haggmark is Associate Professor of Islamic Studies and Christian Mission and World Religions at Luther Seminary, Saint Paul, Minnesota.” |

Christian Religious Education: Sharing Our Story and Vision $27.95 “The Classic Guide for Educators of Any Denomination > What mission calls us to teach? How do societal issues-social oppression, poverty, politics-affect what we teach, how we teach it, and how people learn? Who are our students? What and when are they ready to learn? Once we understand these foundations, how can we facilitate an educational experience that has the power to shape and transform people and communities in life-giving ways of faith? > In this classic text, Thomas Groome asks and answers these central questions, providing a comprehensive integration of the history, theory, and practice of modern religious education for a new generation of educators. His self-reflective approach-shared praxis-will inspire school teachers, students of religious education, pastors, parents, and religious educators in local churches who want to understand themselves, their mission, and their surroundings-to inform, form, and transform their students’ lives. > “Anyone tugged by the calling at the heart of education or religious life can only cheer for the republication of this classic book.”-Robert Kegan, Harvard Graduate School of Education > “Whether returning Christian Religious Education or reading it for the first time, readers will discover freshness leaping from the page; you will soon know why this formative book of the past is a beacon for the future-informative, inspiring, and wise “-Mary Elizabeth Moore, professor of theology and Christian education, Claremont School of Theology” |

Can We Talk?: Sharing Your Faith in a Pre-Christian World $15 “Those who serve on mission fields in areas where Christian faith is not the dominant religion quickly come to understand a central truth: when one is sharing the gospel, one must have a place to start the conversation. If the person being addressed is unfamiliar with Christian concepts and terms, one must pick up on things with which he or she is familiar, and relate these to the Christian message. Without this middle ground, there can be no effective witness to God’s salvation in Christ.>Everyone who shares the good news today, Robert Tuttle points out, would do well to learn this basic truth for communicating the gospel. While the Christian message is universal — intended for all persons, everywhere — the language we use to convey this message may not be. The key is always to be sensitive to the deep questions with which one’s friends and acquaintances are struggling, and to look for ways to relate the life-changing message of the gospel to these questions. Written in a lively and direct style, Can We Talk? offers a clear, user-friendly guide for finding a “middle ground” for communicating the gospel, a meeting ground from which one can share one’s faith.” |

Excerpt: Reverend Charles Theophilus Ewald Rhenius (5 November 1790 5 June 1838) was a German born missionary of the Church Mission Society (CMS). He was the first CMS missionary to arrive at India. For his missionary work in the Tirunelveli district he came to be known as the “Apostle of Tirunelveli”. He was involved in the attempt to revise the Fabricius version of the Tamil Bible and also published a Tamil grammar book. Rhenius split from the Anglican Church in 1830 and started his own congregation. Rhenius’ work was recognized in 1978 by the Reverend Daniel Abraham, the then Church of South India (CSI) bishop of Tirunelveli diocese. Rhenius’s work was given official recognition by the Anglican Communion during the Tirunelveli diocese bicentenary celebration in … More: |

A World Mission $75.58 Between the two world wars, leaders of the mainline Protestant denominations in Canada — Anglican, Methodist, Presbyterian, United, and Baptist — were engaged in a sustained effort to formulate and apply a form of Christian internationalism that would be relevant to the needs of a rapidly changing world. Robert Wright analyses the origins of the vision behind this effort and its ambivalent implementation, and describes its effects on the international Christian community and the Canadian approach to foreign aid and development in the post-war period. |

Ambivalence toward Christianity in the Kabbalah of Abraham Abulafia. $49.99 This dissertation is devoted to an investigation of the conflicted attitude toward Christianity demonstrable in the writings of the kabbalist Abraham Abulafia (1240–ca. 1291). Abulafia’s hostility toward Christianity is explicit and emphatic. He partakes of most of the polemical arguments raised against Christians by the fellow Jews of his day. On the other hand, Abulafia’s absorption of Christian doctrines is equally clear and central. In fact, Abulafia goes beyond this absorption of doctrine to accord a place of key importance in his own messianic self-conception to the figure of Jesus. The latter Abulafia viewed as the transgressive element within his own inner psyche. Abulafia, in kind with many of the kabbalists of his day, viewed Jesus as the epitome of idolatry, and he discusses the extent to which this inner idolatrous element tempted him. For Abulafia, the threat of such temptations manifested itself in the form of demons. These, by his own testimony, dogged him as he sought to commune with the Active Intellect. We will explore the fashion in which these demons embodied Abulafia’s powerful attraction to Christianity. The latter Abulafia characterizes as the forbidden feminine element, while the demons poised against him threatened Abulafia with emasculation. The implications of Abulafia’s attitudes toward Christianity lend themselves to psychoanalytic investigation. Abulafia’s ambivalent feelings toward Christianity ran to the core of his psyche, providing the subtext for his mystical doctrine and sense of his own messianic mission and demonstrating the role of the forbidden other in the construction of self. Abulafia, in his mystical thought and practice, seeks to subsume Christian influences within a synthetic whole. By such means he intended to overcome the self-other dichotomy, with redemptive consequences. |

Ancient-Future Evangelism: Making Your Church a Faith-Forming Community $3.66 Following his well-received Ancient-Future Faith, Robert Webber presents a new model for evangelism and discipleship, the first in a series of four books applying his theoretical ideas to practical situations. 	Part 1 of Ancient-Future Evangelism surveys evangelism and Christian formation throughout the church and then translates the process for twenty-first-century Christians. Webber presents evangelism as four distinct stages and suggests three accompanying rites of passage that can be easily adapted to any church tradition.	Part 2 underscores how the four-fold process of faith formation is interwoven with three theological principles: Christ as victor over evil, the church as witness to God’s salvation, and worship as a witness to God’s mission accomplished in Jesus.	Ancient-Future Evangelism will appeal to both emerging evangelicals as well as traditional church leaders. It relates faith to Christian practice by drawing wisdom from the past and translating those insights into the present and future life of the church. |

Boston’s Historic Park Street Church: The Story of an Evangelical Landmark $5 An invaluable landmark and an inspiration to all Christians, Boston’s Park Street Church has led the way in missions, education, and evangelism and has had an enduring impact on the life of this nation. In this fascinating book, gifted historian Garth Rosell tells the amazing two-hundred year story of one of America’s most famous churches.

Robert, Truman Collins Professor of World Christianity and History of Mission, Boston University School of Theology”This important book is no typical congregational history.

Mouw, President and Professor of Christian Philosophy, Fuller Theological Seminary |

Catholic Resistance in Elizabethan England: Robert Person’s Jesuit Polemic 1580-1610 $124.95 During his lifetime, the Jesuit priest Robert Persons (1546-1610) was arguably the leading figure fighting for the re-establishment of Catholicism in England. Whilst his colleague Edmund Campion may now be better known it was Persons’s tireless efforts that kept the Jesuit mission alive during the difficult days of Elizabeth’s reign. In this new study, Person’s life and phenomenal literary output are analysed and put into the broader context of recent Catholic scholarship. The book bridges the gap between historical studies, on the one hand, and literary studies on the other, by concentrating on Persons’s contribution as a writer to the polemical culture of the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries.As well as discussing his wider achievements – including his astute leadership of the English Jesuits in exile, the foundation of three seminaries for English priests, regular correspondence with Catholic activists in England, the writing of over thirty books, holding the post of rector of the English College in Rome, and being a trusted consultant to the papacy on English affairs – this study looks in detail at what is arguably his greatest legacy, The First Booke of the Christian Exercise (more commonly known as the Book of Resolution). That book, first published in 1582, was to prove the cornerstone of Persons’s missionary effort, and a popular work of Catholic devotion, running to several editions over the coming years. Although Persons was ultimately unsuccessful in his ambition to return England to the Catholic fold, the story of his life and works reveals much about the ecclesiastical struggle that gripped early modern Europe. By providing a thorough and up-to-datereassessment of Persons this study not only makes a significant contribution to our understanding of the polemical context of post-Reformation Catholicism, but also of the Jesuit notion of the ‘apostolate of writing’. |

Christian Mission: How Christianity Became a World Religion $26.95 The Gospels record that Christ commanded his disciples to “go forth and teach all nations.” Thus began the history of Christian mission, a phenomenon which brought about massive shifts in the nature and practice of Christianity, and one that many say reflects the single most important movement of intercultural encounter over a sustained period of human history.To understand Christianity as a global movement, therefore, it is essential to study the role of mission – defined as the transmission of the Gospel across cultures. Erudite and enlightening, this brief book explores the 2,000 years of mission history, covering topics such as the meaning of the missionary through history, gender and missions, and missions in culture and politics. Given that in the twenty-first century, Christianity is now largely practiced outside the West, Christian Mission is an inspirational and invaluable resource to broaden our understanding of the nature of Christianity as a truly multicultural world religion. |

Allred, Samuel Michael “Mike” Mcpheters, Martin Dobrizhoffer, Edmundo Mellid. Excerpt: Antonio Ruiz de Montoya (13 June 1585 11 April 1652) was a Jesuit missionary in Paraguay .Life Montoya was born at Lima , Peru .Montoya entered the Society of Jesus on 1 November 1606. In the same year he accompanied Father Diego Torres , the first provincial of Paraguay, to this mission.In co-operation with Fathers Cataldino and Mazeta he founded the Reductions of Guayra . He also brought a number of wild tribes into the Catholic Church, and is said to have baptized personally 100,000 Indians. As head of the missions he had charge from 1620 of the “reductions” on the upper and middle course of the Paraná River , on the Uruguay River , and the Tape River, and added thirteen further “reductions ” to the twenty six already existing.When the missions of Guayra were endangered by the incursions of Paulistas from Brazil in search of slaves, Father Mazeta and Montoya resolved to transport the Christian Indians, about 15,000 in number, to the reductions in Paraguay, partly by water with the aid of seven hundred rafts and numberless canoes, and partly by land through the forest. The plan was successfully carried out in 1631. “This expedition”, says von Ihering , “is one of the most extraordinary undertakings of this kind known in history” .In 1637 Montoya (on behalf of the governor, the Bishop of Paraguay , and the heads of the orders) laid a complaint before Philip IV of Spain as to the Portuguese policy of sending kidnapping expeditions into the neighboring regions. He obtained from the king |

His self-reflective approach-shared praxis-will inspire school teachers, students of religious education, pastors, parents, and religious educators in local churches who want to understand themselves, their mission, and their surroundings-to inform, form, and transform their students’ lives.”Anyone tugged by the calling at the heart of education or religious life can only cheer for the republication of this classic book.”—Robert Kegan, Harvard Graduate School of Education”Christian Religious Education is one of the most important books -if not the most important-on Christian education published during the last fifty years.”—Don Browning, University of Chicago, coauthor, From Culture Wars to Common Ground: Religion and the American Family Debate “Whether returning Christian Religious Education or reading it for the first time, readers will discover freshness leaping from the page; you will soon know why this formative book of the past is a beacon for the future-informative, inspiring, and wise!”—Mary Elizabeth Moore, professor of theology and Christian education, Claremont School of Theology “Tom Groome combines the great masters of the past with the most creative innovators of the present to provide us with a modern day classic.”—Virgilio P. Elizondo, founder, Mexican American |

Christian…Catholic…And Praising Jesus! $14.86 This book is not a “defense of the faith;” rather, it is an explanation from the heart of a Catholic exactly why he is a Catholic and why Roman Catholicism is 100% Christian. The book will help Christians who are not Catholics better understand Catholic docttrines and will help Catholics better understand and be able to better explain their faith. It is time for Christians to come together in understanding and love, and this book will hopefully help with that mission. |

Christianity in India: From Beginnings to the Present $45 Robert Frykenberg’s insightful study explores and enhances historical understandings of Christian communities, cultures, and institutions within the Indian world from their beginnings down to the present. As one out of several manifestations of a newly emerging World Christianity, in which Christians of a Post-Christian West are a minority, it has focused upon those trans-cultural interactions within Hindu and Muslim environments which have made Christians in this part of the world distinctive. It seeks to uncover various complexities in the proliferation of Christianity in its many forms and to examine processes by which Christian elements intermingled with indigenous cultures and which resulted in multiple identities, and also left imprints upon various cultures of India. Thomas Christians believe that the Apostle Thomas came to India in 52 A.D./C.E., and that he left seven congregations to carry on the Mission of bringing the Gospel to India. In our day the impulse of this Mission is more alive than ever. Catholics, in three hierarchies, have become most numerous; and various Evangelicals/Protestant communities constitute the third great tradition. With the rise of Pentecostalism, a fourth great wave of Christian expansion in India has occurred. Starting with movements that began a century ago, there are now ten to fifteen times more missionaries than ever before, virtually all of them Indian. Needless to say, Christianity in India is profoundly Indian and Frykenberg provides a fascinating guide to its unique history and practice. |

Christians, from the movie "The Mission" with Robert De Niro and Jeremy Irons?
It is a film of the mid-80s on Christian Missionaries, Jesuits, and the film was nominated for a bunch of Oscars and Golden Globes, and won Best Screenplay, Best Music Original film and photograph. I had never heard of him until recently, and I just saw the other day, is probably the best Christian / Catholic Questions movie I saw. If you have not seen and if you have Netflix, is available for viewing online. If you've seen, that do you think? Hollyweird would desire more movies like this. I would describe as "bloody". There is some fighting / war scenes, but not much and not graphics.
It is a Christian, but a big fan of this movie (and soundtrack). We look for an anthropology course in cinema. It is a good mix – the exploitation of indigenous peoples by Europeans, work and mission of the Jesuits. It was an amazing film in all respects. I echo their recommendation.
