Exporting Progressivism to Communist China

History & Biography

“This book addresses the contributions of Union Seminary in New York to the formation of Protestant churches in China, especially through the Three-Self Patriotic Movement (TSPM), the Cross and Sword Secret Society, the Sino-Foreign Protestant Establishment (SFPE), and the Chinese Students’ Christian Association. I strongly recommend this book not only to those who are interested in the churches in China and its relations to Union Seminary, but also to those who are interested in the intersection between churches and theological institutions in various other contexts.”

Great to Good

Christian Living

“In the context of a highly competitive and success-oriented society like South Korea, it is very refreshing to read the insights and wisdom from Jae Hoon Lee, senior pastor of one of the largest churches in Korea—and the world. Lee integrates his understanding of Christian ministry with practical suggestions for daily practice. This volume provides deep insight and wisdom for Christian leaders as well as for individual Christians who wish to reshape their theological and ministerial understanding of the church and their practical life in order to shift the direction of the church from 'good to great' to 'great to good.'”

Interruption and Imagination

Theology

“Fretheim provides an excellent examination of how public theology can be a facilitator of sociopolitical transformation in a time of crisis. This volume critically discusses public theology by exploring the key implications of the Kairos Document. Fretheim argues that to do public theology is to seek interruption through thought-provoking perspectives and to create imagination of the public sphere by expanding its boundaries across academic disciplines. This volume is a must-read for students and scholars of theology, sociology, ethics, and political sciences.”

Religious Conversion in India

World Religions

“This book is the outcome of thorough research on the Niyogi Committee Report, which provides readers with a deeper understanding of the attitude of the Hindu Nationalist Movement toward Christian missionary activities. In this sophisticated study, James . . . analyzes key aspects of the report in relation to major thinkers and Hindu nationalist ideology. . . . I highly recommend this volume for its critical assessment of the report and the Hindu Nationalist Movement. It will be an invaluable resource for scholars and students of Christian theology as well as for general readers who are interested in the field of interreligious relations.”
