Authentic Voices: Women Of Insight Talk About Real-Life Challenges, Jewell Reinhart Coburn, Joyce Smith Helyer

Books by Taylor faculty, staff, and administrators

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 …

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

Books by Taylor faculty, staff, and administrators

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 …

God's Ordinary People: No Ordinary Heritage, Jessica L. Rousselow, Alan H. Winquist

Books by Taylor faculty, staff, and administrators

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 …

My Book, My Poem, My Song, Bob Hill

Books by Taylor faculty, staff, and administrators

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 …

Holiness And The Greek Tongue, Newton Wray

Books by Taylor faculty, staff, and administrators

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.

Pauline Methods Of Missionary Work, William Taylor

Books by Taylor faculty, staff, and administrators

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 …
