Although the New Testament writers used the popular language of their day, they often achieved great dignity and eloquence. Convinced of the greatness of their message, they often wrote naturally and directly, as earnest men might

The Missionaries of Charity throughout the world are aided and assisted by Co-Workers who became an official International Association on March 29, 1969. By the 1990s there were over one million Co-Workers in more than 40 countries. Along with the Co-Workers, the lay Missionaries of Charity try to follow Mother Teresa's spirit and charism in their families.

A key strength of Waltke’s article is his use of diverse cultures, spanning over the course of history, to prove that societies in different eras with different values and systems highly regarded written records over the uncertainty of oral tradition. By using an array of cultures and evaluating their use of writing and oral tradition, Waltke seeks to rightly handle the available evidence. He displays cultures that not only prioritized written record, but also those who did have more an emphasis on oral tradition, like the Ugarits, yet still regarded written records as something of great worth. Waltke builds his credibility with readers because of his diverse use of sources and how he handles them to ultimately support his

I serve as a pastoral intern at the Vineyard Christian Church of Evanston. This marks my second year of internship at this church. I have thoroughly enjoyed the experience of becoming familiar with the culture of a non-denominational setting of the church. The Evanston Vineyard comprises of 57 nations of the world. The church is not only unique because of this particular diversity (for example, there is a Spanish-speaking congregation that convenes every Sunday in the La Viña auditorium, one of multiple auditoria in this church) but also because of its hospitable and welcoming environment. This church context serves as the backdrop for the events and discussions that comprise the remainder of this paper.

The abundance of letter writing practices that came from the ancient civilizations made way for letters to become a powerful way of communication for the early Christian Church (Herrick). To begin with, the books of the New Testament-outside of the gospels-are in the forms of letters. The letters explore everything from narratives of miracles to prayers to warnings. The different subjects are told through letters and are further explored through the

The Christian Gospel is a scandal to the man encompassed in relativism and his sophistication because the Christian Gospel does the one thing that man most hopes to avoid. It awakens him for his self-imposed slumber to the reality of his fallenness and rebellion and calls him to reject autonomy / self-government and submit to God through repentance and faith in Jesus Christ. We additionally live in an age of pluralism: a belief arrangement that puts an end to truth by uttering everything to be true. Do you understand what I am saying? After everything is true – after contradictory statements that are diametrically challenged, after both of them are labelled as true – you have the death of truth. It could be tough for Contemporary Christians

There are five general characteristics notable in the letters of the New Testament. In their Book, Daniel Hays and Scott Duvall explain that the letters of the New Testament are comparable with other ancient letters in "the sense that they replace personal visits and are situational, carefully thought out and given and intended for Christian believers." [1] Without a basic understanding of the general characteristics of New Testament letters, the reader lacks the perspective and assumptions necessary for interpretation.

The first half of Discovering Missions written by Culbertson and Gailey introduce the countless aspects of missions and related terminology in reference to missions. Throughout the book, the focus is then directed to the important factors that play a part in missions. Chapters eight through fourteen covers the importance of intercultural communication, volunteerism in mission, development of missionaries, the contrasting philosophies and strategies of mission, the new contexts from missions, the importance of mobilizing the local church and the changes affecting mission today. From this reading, I have learned the important factors that have an effect on missions and various ways in which they effect missions.

From there, the author proceeds to emphasize the supremacy of God in the work of missions by outlining the importance of God’s supremacy through worship, through prayer, through suffering, of Christ as the conscious focus of all saving faith, and among all nations. He concludes by exhorting readers to go forth in missions with a proper compassion for man’s souls and focusing on fostering deep inward worship.

Authors, Gailey and Culbertson in chapters 8-14 introduced some important factors concerning missions. Chapter eight talked about “Intercultural Communication” and the importance of language, both verbal and nonverbal in communicating the gospel. Language has powerfully affected the world since God spoke the universe into existence. Language was one dramatic sign of the Holy Spirit’s coming at Pentecost. Language, whether vocal, written, or signed with the hands, is used to share ideas, cast visions, exchange information, express feelings, and deepens relationships. For everyone involved in Christian mission, language learning is a part of life (Gailey, Culbertson p 105).

     All of the authors we have conversed about in class and studied about at home are connected in at least one way, if not many more. For example, Anne Bradstreet, Jonathan Edwards, Michael Wigglesworth and John Winthrop all write about God and the way we should all act and the simple fact that we all need to be Christians and so must the Indians who occupy their lives. Where as these authors are writers of the Heavenly Father, the authors that I wish to write about, though they do speak a little about God, I am writing on their influence on the Indian culture as well as the impact the Indians have made in Alvar Nunez Cabeza de Vaca’s, Mary Rowlandson’s and Samson Occom’s lives.
