The Confirmation of the Gospel
This previously unpublished manuscript, written by Methodist Bishop J. Waskom Pickett shortly after India gained independence in 1947, makes a compelling argument that Christian evangelism must be accompanied by good works and acts of love if the Gospel is truly to be confirmed in the hearts of believers. Bishop Pickett, who wrote seminal works on missiology based on his experiences in India, uses many examples from his long missionary career.
The Road to Delhi
This book is a biography of Bishop J. Waskom Pickett and contains thorough documentation and extensive photographs. Bishop Pickett embodied the last generation of the missionaries of the great nineteenth and twentieth-century missionary movement from the West. This monumental biography highlights his conversion movement studies, his service to the poor and sick, relief work, interventions with presidents, senators, and ambassadors in behalf of India, and friendships with Nehru, Ambedkar, and other leaders of the new nation-in multifarious ways. Pickett was, by any measure, among the noteworthy missionaries of his century or any other. The Church Growth Movement in India had its beginning with the missionary activity of Bishop Pickett.
Converting Cultures
This volume considers the concept of conversion as a tool for understanding transformations to modernity. It examines conversions to modernity within the Ottoman domain, India, China, and Japan as a reaction to the pressures of colonialism and imperialism.
