Synopsis

Via Christi: An Introduction to the Study of Missions is a comprehensive book authored by Louise Manning Hodgkins. The book is designed to introduce readers to the study of Christian missions, exploring the history, theology, and practice of mission work. Hodgkins begins by examining the biblical basis for missions and the early history of Christian mission work. She then traces the development of missions through the Middle Ages, the Reformation, and into the modern era. Along the way, she discusses the various approaches to mission work, including evangelism, social action, and cultural engagement. The book also explores the theological underpinnings of missions, including the nature of God, the role of the church, and the relationship between faith and culture. Hodgkins examines the challenges and opportunities facing modern missions, including issues of globalization, pluralism, and postmodernism. Throughout the book, Hodgkins draws on her extensive experience in mission work to provide practical insights and advice for those interested in pursuing missions themselves. She also includes numerous case studies and examples of successful mission efforts from around the world. Via Christi: An Introduction to the Study of Missions is an essential resource for anyone interested in understanding the history, theology, and practice of Christian missions. It is well-written, engaging, and accessible, making it an ideal textbook for courses in missions or for individual study.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Présentation de l'éditeur

During the Ecumenical Conference, held in New York, A pril 21-M a7 1, 1900, a long-contemplated plan to unite all Women s Boards of Missions in the United States and Canada in a more thorough study of missions took definite shape. At a meeting held at the close of the conference, a representative committee was appointed, and was given discretionary power to arrange the course of study and provide the method of its pursuance. Via Christi, an Introduction to the Study of Missions, is the first of a series proposed by the committee, and will be followed by studies of I ndia, China, Japan, and other countries, each volume treating of the history of all missions in the country to which it is devoted, and beginning, in each case, with the nineteenth century. This course is intended to cover a period of several years. A simple preliminary series of six lessons, in leaflet form, for use in missionary meetings, clubs, and home study, entitled Christian Missions in the Nineteenth Century, was issued by the Committee, September, 1900, the lessons being: 1. A wakenings and Beginnings. 2. The Century in I ndia. 3. The Century inC
