This book examines the foundation of the London Jews Society (LJS)
in 1809, and the construction of Palestine Place in 1813 at Bethnal
Green in East London. The early supporters of the LJS from 1815
were Anglican Evangelicals, including William Wilberforce and
Charles Simeon. A mission centre was established at Palestine Place
on a five-acre site, which incorporated an Episcopal Jews' Chapel;
separate schools for boys and girls; staff houses; a missionary
training college and a House of Industry, which provided work for
converted Jews, especially by printing leaflets and books.
Christian Philosemitism is a new genre of research into the
development of the positive response by Evangelicals towards the
Jews from the Puritan era. Lewis Way has been chosen as the leading
example of Evangelical Anglican philosemitism between 1810 and
1840. The London Jews Society (LJS) was founded in 1809, Way was
actively involved from 1811 and his substantial financial gift
rescued the Society from ruin in 1815. Christian Philosemitism
developed from the Puritan period and was strengthened by the
Readmission of the Jews in 1656. A new impetus was given at the end
of the eighteenth century, when in the challenging context of the
social, religious and political upheaval in England following the
French Revolution the LJS was founded.

Most people, on hearing a quotation from the Bible whether in a
church service, or elsewhere, would assume a serious face and
seldom laugh. Yet this is not always the case. Father Ken Payne
manages to draw on the amusing side of someof the Gospel passages.
What is it like to raise the dead, heal the sick and drive demons
out? Chris Grummitt was plunged into what seemed a lonely nightmare
of a ministry but the simplicity of his new found faith carried him
up to dizzy heights, which ultimately led to jealousies, suspicion
and even worse; all for upsetting the status quo. The successes of
his ministry were spectacular but so were the failings which caused
great heartache and near depression. In this book Chris asks the
questions. 'Do we all fail for Jesus in some way or another and if
so why?' In doing so he asks us to re-evaluate our own response to
the Grand Commission and this book is a must read for anyone
contemplating service in the missionary field, either at home or in
some far flung land.
The message of Revelation speaks to Christians for all times, and
historically has especially encouraged persecuted groups. Today
Christians in many parts of the world are also at opposition to the
worldview of the time. Revelation gives strength to those who are
oppressed, and John R. Yeatts' commentary attends to themes of
martyrdom, suffering, service in the world, hope, the triumph of
Christ, and the role of the church in bearing witness to the
triumphant Christ. The commentary includes clear biblical
commentary, relationships between various portions of Scripture,
and applications drawn from the Anabaptist tradition and the larger
Christian community. 304 Pages.
Seventh-Day Adventists, Melanesian cargo cults, David Koresh's
Branch Davidians, and the Raelian UFO religion would seem to have
little in common. What these groups share, however, is a millennial
orientation-the audacious human hope for a collective salvation,
which may be either heavenly or earthly. While many religions
feature a belief in personal salvation, millennial faiths involve
the expectation that salvation will be accomplished for an entire
group by a superhuman agent, with or without human collaboration.
While the term "millennialism" is drawn from Christianity, it is a
category that is used to study religious expressions in diverse
cultures, religious traditions, and historical periods. Sometimes,
as with the American Millerite movement, millennialism expresses
itself benignly. Other times, as in the Branch Davidians' showdown
with the FBI in Waco, these movements turn violent. This handbook
will offer readers an in-depth look at both the theoretical
underpinnings of the study of millennialism and its many
manifestations across history and cultures. The book will begin
with a section that lays out the four different types of
millennialism and will then move on to examine millennialism in a
wide variety of places and times, from ancient millennial movements
to modern apocalyptic movements. This handbook will be a valuable
resource for scholars of religious studies, sociology, psychology,
history, and new religious movements.
Bill Vincent is an ordinary man with an extraordinary God. If what
has happened to him is as great as he tells his story, then you
know it will be visitations from above like no other. This book,
Glory: Pursuing God's Presence, is one of three book series that
are all about finding God and His presence. One day in 2008, Bill
pressed into God with the attitude like I am going to get something
from God. In so many ways, he was much like a wining child trying
to get a toy from his parent. The feeling Bill felt that day was
like being rescued in the desert after days with no drink. What
began to happen to Bill has changed his life forever. Bill got to a
place he couldn't wait to press in. It was like a romance between
him and God. He was now in love with God. Bill would run up the
stairs like I couldn't wait any longer to be with Him.
