This work focuses on the 19th-century mission conducted by Chinese evangelists among the Hakka, an ethnic minority in south China. The principal part of the text comprises the autobiographies of eight pioneer missionaries who offer insight into village life and customs of the Hakka people.
Apocalyptic millennialism is one of the most powerful strands in evangelical Christianity. It is not a single belief, but across many powerful evangelical groups there is general adhesion to faith in the physical return of Jesus in the Second Coming, the affirmation of a Rapture heavenward of "saved" believers, a millennium of peace under the rule of Jesus and his saints and, eventually, a final judgement and entry into deep eternity.

A comprehensive description of how evangelicals in Northern Ireland interpreted the 'Troubles' (1966 - 2007) in the light of biblical wisdom.

In June 1722, three families from Moravia settled on the estate of Count Nikolaus Ludwig von Zinzendorf in Berthelsdorf, Saxony.

by Joshua Bradley
Wer sich der Erforschung des reformierten Protestantismus widmet, setzt sich mit einer komplexen Bewegung auseinander: Religioese, theologische und kulturelle Traditionen werden kritisch reflektiert, bisweilen verworfen oder aber in neuer Interpretation weitergefuhrt. Politische und soziale Veranderungen zeitigen gravierende Konsequenzen fur Einzelne wie fur ganze Landschaften. Gewollt oder ungewollt bleiben dabei Veranderung und Beharrung eng ineinander verwoben. Historians recognize that the...
