contemporary mission through global conversations between theory
and praxis. Exploring emergent themes in missiology, the book takes

those in academia and with those who are practically engaged. With

In this book William Tyndale, one of the most renowned religious
scholars of the Reformation, writes his explanations of
justification by faith. The Parable of the Wicked Mammon is the
very first work which carries William Tyndale's name. Selecting
chapter sixteen from the Book of Luke as a basis, Tyndale explains
crucial differences between emerging Protestant beliefs and the
established Catholic system. By choosing this passage, Tyndale is
able to explain justification and the fruits of it, thereby
highlighting a central motivation behind the ensuing Reformation.
Notably, this work sees the author acknowledge for the first time
his new translation of the Biblical New Testament. Writing in part
to blunt the blame levied upon the Protestant cause as being behind
outbreaks of violence in Europe, Tyndale sought to frame his
arguments in religious terms. By admitting his translation of the
Bible, Tyndale reveals that he is opposed to keeping the scripture
out of the hands of the common people.
From silent cinema pianist born in the Australian Bush to celebrity
virtuoso entertaining Royalty in Mayfair--an extraordinarily
magical and inspirational musical odyssey. The concert pianist
Edward Cahill (1885-1975) rose to prominence from humble beginnings
in the inauspicious setting of 19th-century rural Queensland. At a
time when Australian concert artists were virtually unknown in
Europe, he dazzled the salons of royalty, aristocratic patronage
and privilege in London, Paris and the French Riviera during the
glittering decades of the 1920s and 1930s ... 'With what vigour,
what virtuosity and poetry this master plays the piano!'
--Chronique musicale, Montreux, 5 May 1939

J. E. Hutton's superb history follows the Moravian Church from its
earliest years as one of the earliest founding Protestant
denominations, over the centuries as it developed into a mature
Christian fellowship. Arranged chronologically, Hutton's history
takes us first to the dawn of the Protestant Reformation in the
fifteenth century. He details the fraught religious and political
situation during the decades prior to the eventual split with the
dominant Catholic order. We are introduced to the pivotal figures
of the era, such as Peter of Chelci, Gregory the Patriarch and Luke
of Prague. The political climate of Prague, Bohemia and the
surrounding areas in which the Moravians lived is much-detailed.
The pure, simple observance of Christ and his virtues united the
Moravian movement - the essential devotion to Jesus and his gospel
appealed to Christians, who yearned for community under a common
banner and felt distant from the old order. Poland in particular
proved a bastion for Moravian brethren.
