Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Social Christianity in the Orient: The Story of a Man, a Mission and a Movement This is one of the great stories of modern missions. Numerous short versions of it have for years been circulated. It is here told for the first time in full. During three decades unusual tidings reached the Christian world from the little Telugu town of Ongole, in southern India. These tidings dealt with events of a religious nature in so dramatic a form that they appealed to the imagination as well as to the faith of men. They were full of the romance of missions: there was prophecy fulfilled, inspiration voiced in song, and there was manifestation of a simple faith in Jesus, the Christ, by such numbers that it approached the miraculous. In an out-of-the-way place of the world striking phenomena of a spiritual nature occurred, which most of the followers of Jesus had begun to believe impossible. The facts were simple, and distinctly human, nevertheless most unusual. The mass baptism of nearly nine thousand persons in six weeks received its appealingly picturesque setting in a huge famine camp, where the starving were brought together. Yet not the pangs of hunger, nor the hope of help could wholly explain how the religious impulse could move thousands to awaken out of the apathy of their ignorant, downtrodden lives, and walk long distances to give expression to the newly-born faith within them, and to demand the Christian rite of baptism. It all sounded strangely like the early centuries of the Christian era. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
