During the nineteenth century, Christian missionaries vied for the Chinese souls they thought they were saving. But many things held them back: Western gunboat diplomacy, unequal treaties and their own prejudices, which increased hostility towards Christianity. 'One more Christian, one less Chinese,' has long been a popular cliche in China. Guns and Gospel examines the accusation of 'cultural imperialism' levelled against the missionaries and explores their complex and ambivalent relationships with the opium trade and British imperialism. Ambrose Mong follows key figures among the missionaries, such as Robert Morrison, Charles Gutzlaff, James Hudson Taylor and Timothy Richard, uncovering why some succeeded where others failed, and asks whether they really became lackeys to imperialism.

It is interesting to think about how you can take some seemingly ordinary activities that one enjoys and discover some life lessons that will make you think, ponder, and evaluate your priorities. Sometimes, these lessons come to us in some very unexpected ways and some unexpected places. Who would ever think that guns, shooting, and reloading spent casings would have any kind of life lesson, especially spiritual life lessons? It seems very out-of-the-ordinary or maybe even extraordinary. However, a man with two passions that came together, under the nudging and leading of the Holy Spirt, opened Jerry's eyes to some deeper spiritual truths - some truths that were out-of-the ordinary and yes, even extraordinary. Truths and lesson that seemed to grow and broaden his understanding of a supernatural God. His passion for guns and his passion for the Gospel collided to reveal some amazing parallels of our relationship with Jesus Christ and our eternal destiny. This was shared in a style that seems like Jerry just sat down with you with a cup of hot coffee and shared his heart so that maybe you will see what God revealed to him.A very thought-provoking and challenging comparison in an unexpected way.

What if Christians did more than offer thoughts and prayers in response to gun violence? Ethicist Michael Austin argues—from a biblical but nonpacifist perspective—that we can impose firearms restrictions to make our society safer and less fearful while still respecting the rights of gun owners. God and Guns in America is a thoughtful, measured, and articulate treatment of a polarizing topic that is too often treated with more heat than light.

Gospel of the Gun is the exciting new story from western writer Sean Chandler (author of Ebony Marshal, and Ebony Marshal: Bitter). That mixes elements of religious theology with western lore.The story follows the outlawed Jeremiah Irons as he is chased across the country by the twelve men that make up the Disciple Gang.Thinking he has stolen money from them, Jeremiah, named Judas by the Disciples, decides to make a run for it. His exploits land him in the town of Wewoka, Indian Territory where he finds himself behind the pulpit in the guise of a preacher. It is in Wewoka that Jeremiah begins to learn who he really is, and through the influences of the townspeople, and especially the beautiful Hope West, his life begins to take an unexpectant turn.But like all things the quiet is just a prelude to the storm. The Disciple Gang will not be denied, and when word leaks to them of his continued existence they will not be denied.Can Jeremiah survive their eventual arrival in Wewoka? Will his newfound love for Hope West ever see fruition? Or will he have to blaze a path once again with his guns just to survive?

Using the Bible as the foundational source and guide, while also bringing contemporary sociological data to the conversation, seven biblical scholars and theologians construct a powerful dialogue about gun violence in America, concluding that guns are incompatible with the God of Christian Scripture. God and Guns is the first book to argue against gun culture from a biblical studies perspective. Bringing the Bible into conversation with contemporary sociological data, the volume breaks new exegetical and critical ground and lays the foundations for further theological work. The scholars assembled in this volume construct a powerful argument against gun violence, concluding that a self-identity based on guns is incompatible with Christian identity. Drawing on their expertise in the Bible's ancient origins and modern usage, they present striking new insights involving psychology, ethics, race, gender, and culture. This collection, carefully edited for clarity and readability, will change conversations—and our culture. Contributors include: T. M. Lemos David Lincicum Shelly Matthews Yolanda Norton Brent A.

Background becomes foreground in Moyer Hubbard's creative introduction to the social and historical setting for the letters of the Apostle Paul to churches in Asia Minor and Europe. Hubbard begins each major section with a brief narrative featuring a fictional character in one of the great cities of that era. Then he elaborates on various aspects of the cultural setting related to each particular vignette, discussing the implications of those venues for understanding Paul's letters and applying their message to our lives today. Addressing a wide array of cultural and traditional issues, Hubbard discusses: • religion and superstition • education, philosophy, and oratory • urban society • households and family life in the Greco-Roman world This work is based on the premise that the better one understands the historical and social context in which the New Testament (and Paul's letters) was written, the better one will understand the writings of the New Testament themselves. Passages become clearer, metaphors deciphered, and images sharpened. Teachers, students, and laypeople alike will appreciate Hubbard's unique, illuminating, and well-researched approach to the world of the early church.
