Hudson Taylor's Unreached Community: A Philosophical Perspective

257 Words2 Pages

A Philosophical Perspective The survival of unreached citizens has extended to a main achiever for worldwide mission. There are many unreached communities in the center of China. In fact, Hudson Taylor drew attention and founded the China Inland Mission. “Unreached indigenous groups in Central America so caught William Cameron Townsend’s attention that he started SIL/Wycliffe Bible Translators” (Gailey, Culbertson 153). Therefore, fulfilling a need to spread the gospel message is great because many have never heard the word. The religious approach to the supernatural, anthropologists say, is characterized by submission. One example of that is the prayer of Jesus in The Garden of Gethsemane just prior to his arrest. It 's in that prayer is

  • A Comparison Of Solomon Stoddard And Jonathan Edwards

    1070 Words  | 5 Pages

    During the eighteenth century, an “immense religious revival swept across the Protestant world” (Murrin, p. 131), led by men such as George Whitefield, Solomon Stoddard, and Jonathan Edwards. These men as well as many others used new preaching styles in order to stir up the emotions of those listening. Their sermons used very specific detail regarding one’s salvation and unity with God. For some, the intense imagery would prompt a revelation, but for others it would generate fear. The sermons “replaced old, prepared homily with a spontaneous exhortation delivered by an untrained preacher, who now employed a mode of persuasion” (Cortes, Sept 21).

  • Ockham's Razor Argumentative Analysis

    819 Words  | 4 Pages

    Ockham's Razor was an argumentative strategy constructed during the Middle Ages, which empiricists have applied multiple times to use in order to support a counterargument in opposition to the rationalists' explanations for 'innate ideas.' Although shown to be useful for the former argument, is it an effective tool for analyzing the proofs of God? In this paper, it will be argued that when trying to analyze proofs of God, it is best to reply to questions with hypothetical answers that make the fewest presumptions. "The answer to the question "Why do so many people believe in gods?" is a very complicated one because it entangles us in a thicket of psychological, sociological, anthropological, and philosophical-not to mention purely religious-issues." (Palmer 155).

  • Broken View Of Discipleship Essay

    Ed combats this view with the idea that the point of discipleship is not information, but Christ-like transformation. The second “broken view” presented is the fact that we try to program discipleship. Ed infers that discipleship is so much more than a six-week course, and people are looking for relationships more than discipleship classes. The third “broken view” is that we equate discipleship with our preaching. In fact, 56% of pastors surveyed believe their weekly sermon was the most important discipling ministry in the church.

  • Western Esotericism In Religious Studies

    1268 Words  | 6 Pages

    It is the purpose of this essay to explore what Western Esotericism is, through its seemingly debated definitions, in specific reference to its place within the study of Religion. It will be argued that Western Esotericism should be studied within Religious Studies due to the fact that it provides a re-conception of religious study from a sociological, psychological and philosophical lens. Through the exploration of repressed and censored esoteric features marginalised throughout history, we see a promotion of personal faith and religious experience explored through a new-found abandonment of scripture and ritual. This essay will feature works by Faivre, Stuckrad, Bergunder and Hanegraff as the main forms of literature which will support

    Madison Hoven Miracles and Supernatural Events in the 17th Century In the 21st century we are privileged to have a plethora of knowledge available to us that helps us interpret our surroundings. This however was not this case in earlier centuries, which inspired many philosophers to research and establish theories on the causation of various events. As society has moved from a religious perspective to a more secular mindset, one point of specific fascination that prevailed was the miraculous and supernatural events that deviated from the norm. Before scientific evidence was established these mysterious events occurred with little explanation, aside from attributing the occurances to a divine power.

    The figures worshipped in religion have no power until their followers give them that momentum. Historically, Jesus was a traveller that preached his ideas and lived a relatively normal life. Through Christianity, however, Jesus Christ has become one of the most important leaders in history. Faith in the unknown sometimes gives the ordinary an extraordinary sway in the world. The relationship between Sonmi-451 and Zachry from David Mitchell’s Cloud Atlas is proof of this.
