Raymond Lull
In this groundbreaking work, renowned missionary and scholar Dr. Samuel M. Zwemer brings to life the extraordinary story of Raymond Lull, the first great missionary to the Muslim world. Drawing from his extensive experience in Arab lands and his deep understanding of Islam, Zwemer presents a compelling portrait of a 13th-century visionary whose life and methods remain profoundly relevant for modern missions. Zwemer's biography, introduced by Robert E. Speer, offers an unparalleled look at Lull's pioneering approach to interfaith dialogue and Muslim evangelism.

A Long Reconstruction
After slavery was abolished, how far would white America go toward including African Americans as full participants in the country's institutions? Conventional historical timelines mark the end of Reconstruction in the year 1877, but the Methodist Episcopal Church continued to wrestle with issues of racial inclusion for decades after political support for racial reform had receded. An 1844 schism over slavery split Methodism into northern and southern branches, but Union victory in the Civil War provided the northern Methodists with the opportunity to send missionaries and teachers into the territory that had been occupied by the Methodist Episcopal Church, South.

The Social Gospel in Black and White
In a major revision of accepted wisdom, this book, originally published by UNC Press in 1991, demonstrates that American social Christianity played an important role in racial reform during the period between Emancipation and the civil rights movement.

Some of them helped to organize the Federal Council of Churches in 1909, while others returned to abolitionist and home missionary strategies in organizing the NAACP in 1910 and the National Urban League in 1911. A half century later, such organizations formed the institutional core of America's civil rights movement. Luker also shows that the black prophets of social Christianity who espoused theological personalism created an influential tradition that eventually produced Martin Luther King Jr.
