John R. Mott amidst the students
A century ago, John R. Mott (1865-1955) was the most recognizable name among Christian student movement leaders on six continents. Working together with other leaders from around the world, Mott was instrumental in ministry of the YMCA, the World’s Student Christian Federation, and the Student Volunteer Movement. This article first discusses Mott’s contributions as a strategist and analyzes the nature of his expansive network. It concludes with a…
The Practice of Mission in Global Methodism
This edited volume on the practice and—it is important to add—theory of mission in global Methodism is a survey of how Methodism around the world is rethinking mission in an age of world Christianity. As one of the editors of the volume, David W. Scott, makes clear in a concluding chapter, ‘world Christianity’ refers both to the empirical reality of Christianity as a world religion on all six continents and to a relatively new scholarly field of …
The 1921 Founding of the International Missionary Council in the Life of John R. Mott
The beginning of the International Missionary Council (IMC) at Lake Mohonk, New York, in 1921 represented a pivot point in the life of John R. Mott (1865–1955). It symbolized for him and other participants a bold initiative in international missionary collaboration that had ramifications for liberal internationalism well beyond the Christian movement itself. World War I was devastating for millions throughout the world, but for Mott it was also a…

James …

Engaging the Religiously Committed Other
Anthropology has two tasks: the scientific task of studying human beings and the instrumental task of promoting human flourishing. To date, the scientific task has been constrained by secularism, and the instrumental task by the philosophy and values of liberalism. These constraints have caused religiously based scholarship to be excluded from anthropology's discourse, to the detriment of both tasks. The call for papers for the 2009 meetings of t…
God and the Atlantic
That's OK, McDonald's will be there.” This was one of the teasing remarks German friends and family made to me in response to news that the United States would not have an exhibition at the World's Fair in Hanover over a decade ago. While intended mostly as lighthearted humor, such comments contain a critique of American culture that, as this book reveals, emerges from a vast historical landscape of anti-American attitudes held by intellectuals a…
