  • Authentic Voices: Women of Insight Talk about Real-Life Challenges by Jewell Reinhart Coburn and Joyce Smith Helyer

    Authentic Voices: Women of Insight Talk about Real-Life Challenges

    Jewell Reinhart Coburn and Joyce Smith Helyer

    Women's voices, with their clear potential to contribute to the essential composition and continuance of many of the most revered and longed for values in human life, have not always been easy to hear.

    But, no more - not as we journey into the new millennium. Authentic Voices: Women of Insight Talk About Real-Life Challenges places women's considerable capability fully within the massive paradigm shift predicted following World War II, launched with zest in the '60s and '70s, and becoming ever more normative now in the 21st century.

    Perhaps both in spite of, as well as because of, events that have transpired historically, religiously, and culturally, women's voices can be more readily heard and their messages of peace, civility, stability, and compassion - vital complements to existing forces - can now be acknowledged.

  • Coach Odle's Full Court Press: Taylor University & Sports Evangelism by Jessica Rousselow-Winquist and Alan H. Winquist

    Coach Odle's Full Court Press: Taylor University & Sports Evangelism

    Jessica Rousselow-Winquist and Alan H. Winquist

    The year 2002 will mark the fiftieth anniversary of the founding of Venture for Victory (VV) by Don Odle, former basketball coach at Taylor University. Coach Odle's Full Cort Press describes this man's role as the central figure in the unfolding early development of sports evangelism which began with a simple phone call in February 1952. Despite daunting obstacles, Coach Odle successfully displayed "the power of one" by seizing the opportunity to bring a Christian basketball team to East Asia during the summer of 1952. From that humble beginning, VV's fame gradually spread. "The power of one" was transformed into "the power of many." Today using athletics as a means to further Christ's message has become a worldwide phenomenon. Don Odle can rightfully be called "the father of sports evangelism."

  • God's Ordinary People: No Ordinary Heritage by Jessica L. Rousselow and Alan H. Winquist

    God's Ordinary People: No Ordinary Heritage

    Jessica L. Rousselow and Alan H. Winquist

    Preface Excerpt: The authors see two main streams flowing through Taylor University's history. First, from its inception as Fort Wayne Female College in 1846, there has been a commitment to equal educational opportunities for both genders and for all economic classes. In the nineteenth century, classical studies formed the core of the curriculum. In the twentieth century, the liberal arts commitment has remained central. The second stream is the focus on Christian service nationally and internationally. During the nineteenth and early part of the twentieth century, most of the Christian service was sponsored by the Methodist Episcopal Church, currently identified as The United Methodist Church. The international thrust centers on the life of Bishop William Taylor for whom the school was renamed in 1890. It is the thesis of this volume that the meshing of these two points has made Taylor University unique in Christian higher education. The six chapters in this book are arranged around these streams.

  • Holiness and the Greek Tongue by Newton Wray

    Holiness and the Greek Tongue

    Newton Wray

    The advent of Jesus Christ occurred at a date described as "the fulness of time," signifying not only an hour for the fulfillment of prophecy but also that providential preparation which predisposed to the reception of Christianity and facilitated its spread among men.

    The factors in this preparation may be included under four general heads:

    1. The moral state of the world.
    2. The Roman Empire.
    3. The Greek language.
    4. The location of Jewish Synagogues everywhere.

  • My Book, My Poem, My Song by Bob Hill

    My Book, My Poem, My Song

    Bob Hill

    Here is a classic story which is both challenging and inspiring to anyone who will open himself to God's leadership. From a shy farmboy in northwestern Ohio to graduation during the great Depression, to the presidency of one of America's great Christian universities, it is apparent that God's hand was guiding the life of Dr. Milo Rediger.

    "Taylor is my book, my poem, my song," he once declared in an address as he modestly lamented his inability to excel in such personal interests as writing, composing and singing. His challenges and exploits were in another direction however and the reader will re-live them through the pages of this book.

    This is no ordinary story! And Dr. Rediger is no ordinary man. Yet, he sees himself as one of the many players in God's great game-plan, simply following directions from his Heavenly Father.

    Educators will especially appreciate excerpts from his philosophy of Christian Education which has been applied and proven successful in over thirty-eight years of dedicated service at Taylor University.

  • Pauline Methods of Missionary Work by William Taylor

    Pauline Methods of Missionary Work

    William Taylor

    Preface: I have given in this little book a brief exhibit of the Pauline methods of missionary work. I make no invidious comparisons between the different bodies of workers in foreign countries, but leave all to make the application of the principles I here eliminate from the Word of God, according to the facts in each field of operation.

    The Pauline principle of self-support we carry out fully in India and in South America, but in the latter field our workers are thus far fully occupied in grading down the hills and mountains, filling the valleys, making the crooked straight and the rough places plain, to prepare the way for the triumphal march of the King. I cannot say how soon we may there work effectively the Pauline evangelizing methods. Our friends will please pray for us, and give us time to lay a good foundation and demonstrate in their turn all the principles embodied in this little volume. It will be seen that in the space of ten months we have sent to Burmah, India, and South America thirty Missionary workers, at a cost, for passage, school furniture and freights, the sum of $8,691.41, which has been cheerfully sent in by the friends of this movement.
