Early Protestant Missions to Jews, Muslims and Pagans: A Dangerous Model
ฝัง

- European Protestant and evangelical Christians did not have to look far to find ‘infidels’ in the 16th and 17th centuries: as well as the ‘pagans’ of northern Scandinavia, Jews were scattered across the continent and Muslim powers were all too close.
This lecture will consider the repeated, and repeatedly failed, attempts to convert these peoples: some naively well-intentioned, some openly violent. Those bitter experiences would become a crucial lens through which Christians viewed global missionary projects, sometimes with unexpected consequences.

I am a simple man. I see a new Alec Ryrie lecture, and I watch it.
One of the few professors I get excited over when there's an update
Indeed - I’ve seen all his lectures (available here), and the ease with which he discusses his topics really make it a dream to follow, even from someone who is non-native english speaking and non scholar.
Same
Profs. Ryrie & Bogdanor are my absolute favorite Gresham lecturers! I listen to their clips over & over bc there are too few and I love the scholarship + delivery styles.
I always look forward to his lectures.
They are great, isn't 😀
Reasoned, balanced, storytelling that advances a thesis. What a pleasure to listen to, and a challenge to all of us who teach.
Let's hope there's some "young Alecs" who can continue this excellent scholarship in years to come. Thanks Gresham, thanks Prof. Ryrie.
Some young smart Alecs... :)
Another great lecture from Professor Ryrie! His ability to put me in the shoes of someone from another time, place, and worldview is always a delight.
Loving these lectures , fleshing out the bones of my understanding of the religious beliefs and wars of the early modern era.
Very elaquent speeker, thank for a fine lecture.
Thanks for another great lecture.
Ryrie's back!
Excellent presentation. Please note, however, that Paul in fact never states that ethnic-religious Jews will be converted as a whole after the majority of gentiles come into the fold. He makes it clear that ethnic Israel is not coextensive with "true Israel" (Rom 9:6). Next, "all (true) Israel" will not be saved, he says, until those gentiles destined to salvation are won (Rom 11:25-26). This is probably best understood as meaning that the harvest of the Jews will not finish ahead of that of the gentiles, but that both will finish simultaneously at the end of the present age and the dawning of the kingdom (Rom 11:15). An almost irresistible tendency to substitute the word "then" for the word "thus" in Rom 11:26 is what leads many commentators astray.
Interesting indeed.
Great talk.
The why, is power, control and ultimately fortune. Essentially it is an industry, in some situations, an extremely lucrative one.
Engrossing lecture by Prof. Ryrie as always! With his usual brilliant sarcasm, he rips apart the hypocrisy of the religious-the more ardent their beliefs, the more brutal their practices.
Should perhaps be noted he’s a practicing Protestant
He's so objective!
Superb lectures from Gresham as always.
Are you really independent in Funding?
The ones who lived here are the freezens and those people are the natives and also indigenous!
Mothers mother -Protestant that wears a Star of David pendant on a chain. Fathers father Italian catholic lived in Northern Ireland. Intolerable for me.
I live in Glasgow
Handed them a book did you?
No thanks, they had it already.
500
And it hasn’t changed much since.
21:54 lol
The attitudes against the Welsh people wast just terrible, a real blight on English Protestantism.
👍🌈 me too. 👍
All these descriptions! False things, not to do, like the splitters have done! It was never the plan!
This is all pure none sense.
a Christian to offer salvation to an Israelite is not an option in the Christian Islamic or Pagan world in which blasphemy will always be there because of the dishonesty of the Pagan world new religions of Christians and Muslims Israelites have to remember who they are instead of what your implying
Huh?
You are so confused....
