Confucius & the Enlightenment's Christian Von Wolff
This thesis is twofold: (1) the accepted wisdom that narrow-minded Pietism's J. J. Lange, who expelled the enlightened Christian Wolff from Halle, was not as boneheaded as he appeared. Lange's was a direct rebuttal of a one-sided view within the Aufklärung (enlightenment). And (2) the Confucius of Christian Wolff was every bit as venerable as the philosopher Confucius was, but Confucius was not the enlightenment theologian Wolff effectively made of Confucius. Wolff attacked revealed theology, which he didn't understand, using Confucius, who he couldn't articulate.
Taiwan Aborigine Missionary R. Don Mccall Sr., Family Letters
RUGGED, REAL Taiwan aborigines—the original explorers Dad, the work, the results, the Gospel Beyond aboriginal work, Dad supported Taiwan Presbyterian Church General Secretary Rev. Dr. C.M. Kao. Kao (Gao) was imprisoned for arranging refuge for the leader of the Kaohsiung Incident (a Roman Catholic), who turned to Kao in court and said, “You are the saint of Taiwan.” Inaction on Dr. Kao’s Declaration of Human Rights in 1977 represented perhaps the greatest missed opportunity of President Jimmy Carter’s legacy in speaking out for those without a voice. In retirement, Dad self-financed a tour of eight China mainland seminaries in Shanghai, Nanjing, Beijing, Xian, Chengdu, Wuhan, Suzhou, and Guangzhou. The seminaries had shut down for decades, but not the Gospel.

China’s Greatest Statesman
Huai’an born Zhou Enlai was contemporary China’s greatest statesman, spymaster and negotiator - the one Henry Kissinger could not out-negotiate. The Peoples Republic of China would not exist today without Zhou’s skill as communicator and administrator. Yet Zhou had one fatal flaw which cost him his adopted children, his colleagues and the career of Xi Zhongxun - father of President Xi Jinping. While Zhou left Huai’an, another group came to his birthplace to serve through medicine, education and evangelism. China’s revolutionaries gained power; the missionaries - influence. Influence transcended power, and contrasted power politics vs. quiet service. This book can also be read backw...
Theology of Delight Theology of Rest Theology of Theology Three Books in One
God's conquering gift of delight overcomes bitterness, loneliness, purposelessness and cynicism - even a false sense of discipline one might call fake holiness. The Bible also promotes rest. God did it and Jesus demonstrated it. Hebrews 4:3 warned Christians not to miss entering God's rest. Historically, theologians have both slipped up and soared. The third book examines heretics and dream team theologians. Roy K McCall is the son and grandson of Presbyterian ministers; two were overseas missionaries. Roy is a Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) and past CPA, CMA and CISA. In the mid-1990s, he taught MBA candidates in China at the invitation of China's Ministry of Education, and was the first...
Basels Samuel Werenfels (16571740) & Theology of Inspired Perseverance
What created our future--sovereign grace or free choice? What happened to the sixteenth-century reformation and the counter-debate two centuries later? Did it fade into the Aufklärung / le Siècle des Lumières, promoting natural theology over revealed theology? Samuel Werenfels (1657-1740), with a category-5 tailwind of theology heritage from Grynäus and Buxtorf dynasties, attacked disputations in academic Latin. Yet with Basel's French refugees, he radiated fervent revival preaching on Holy Spirit-inspired perseverance. Innovative Basel also launched contrasting enlightenment scholars in mathematics messiah Leonhard Euler and Shakespeare translator Simon Grynäus V, minister of Basel's St. Peter.
