Choan-Seng Song, formerly Professor of Theology and Principal of Tainan Theological College in Taiwan and now Associate Director of the Commission on Faith and Order of the World Council of Churches in Geneva, is among the most stimulating of present-day Asian theologians. Dr. Song has become increasingly well known to missiological circles in North America through his service as a visiting professor at Princeton Theological Seminary during the academic year 1976–77. His book Christian Mission In Reconstruction: An Asian Attempt was first published in Madras by the Christian Literature Society of India in 1976. Orbis Books has scheduled an American edition to appear in the fall of 1977. The Occasional Bulletin of Missionary Research invited D. Preman Niles, Professor in the field of Biblical Studies at the Theological College in Pilimatalawa, Sri Lanka, and Charles C. West, the Stephen Colwell Professor of Christian Ethics at Princeton Theological Seminary in New Jersey to write brief articles on “Reviewing and Responding to the Thought of Choan-Seng Song.” Although Dr. Song's recent book is intended to be a particular focus of those two reflections, they go beyond it to a wider consideration of his theological thought. In turn, Dr. Song was invited to submit a “reaction-to-the-reactions.” The three articles follow in that order.

Precisamente neste ano de 2019, que nós celebramos o jubileu da publicação da obra A Theology of Human Hope de Rubem Alves (1933-2014), fruto de uma tese de doutoramento defendida no ano anterior por ele no Princeton Theological Seminary. Seu título original era Towards a Theology of Liberation, que foi mudado por questões editoriais. Pouco conhecido, entretanto, foi seu primeiro trabalho acadêmico – dissertação de mestrado defendida em 1964 no Union Theological Seminary (New York) – A Theological Interpretation of the Meaning of the Revolution in Brazil. Rubem Alves, muito influenciado por Richard Shaull, e indiretamente por teólogos como: Barth, Rauschenbush, Bonhoeffer, Niebuhr, Cox, pelo testemunho missionário de Albert Schweitzer e pelas reflexões de Paulo Freire e da ISAL, como também pelos resultados da Conferência do Nordeste (1962) conseguiu amalgamar esta nova teologia protestante, sendo o pioneiro protestante a utilizar as expressões “revolução” (1963) e “libertação” (1968) em trabalhos acadêmicos de cunho religioso, alterando permanentemente a vocação da teologia no Brasil. Para além dessa celebração, a pesquisa de mestrado de Rubem Alves indicava a emergência de um novo movimento na Teologia latino-americana, muito embora ele não possa ser nomeado como um teólogo da libertação stricto sensu, suas ideias teológicas sobre a revolução foram um tipo de preâmbulo ao que viria na sequência.

“Sayap Kiri Reformasi,” demikianlah Roland H. Bainton, sejarawan Amerika ternama, menamai gerakan yang memisahkan diri dari Reformasi “resmi” di Zürich, Swiss. Ternyata bukan hanya sebutan di atas yang diberikan, gerakan ini juga disebut sebagai “Reformasi Radikal” (istilah George H. Williams, Profesor Sejarah Gereja dari Universitas Harvard). Gerakan tersebut secara umum dikenal sebagai Anabaptisme. Sejak kelahirannya di kota Zürich, gerakan ini dianggap sebagai bidat, sempalan dari gerakan Reformasi yang benar. Karena itu, tidaklah mengherankan bila gerakan ini sangat dibenci baik oleh gereja Katolik Roma maupun para Reformator. Kebencian itu terwujud dalam bentuk penganiayaan selama sekitar 200 tahun. Inti masalah yang dilupakan ialah latar belakang yang membidani lahirnya gerakan ini. Sitz im Leben yang disajikan dalam literatur-literatur sejarah gereja yang dipakai di sekolah-sekolah tinggi teologi di luar negeri maupun di Indonesia sering kali berat sebelah. Sebagaimana diungkapkan oleh almarhum William R. Estep, Jr., Profesor Sejarah Gereja dari Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, “Perhaps there is no group within Christian History that has been judged unfairly as the Anabaptists of the sixteenth century.” Bahkan hingga kini, Anabaptisme masih dipandang sebagai sempalan terhadap ortodoksi, ajaran yang alkitabiah. Kurangnya literatur yang membahas awal mula berdirinya gerakan ini mendorong penulis untuk membuka kembali catatan-catatan sejarah. Membuka kembali catatan sejarah bisa jadi menguak kesalahan pihak lain. Tetapi di sini penulis sama sekali tidak bermaksud memojokkan pihak mana pun. Sumber-sumber utama yang penulis pakai berasal dari para pakar sejarah gereja non-Anabaptis yang telah melakukan riset terhadap gerakan ini secara intensif. Mengingat luasnya permasalahan, maka penulis hanya memfokuskan pemaparan pada peristiwa sekitar Reformasi yang dipelopori oleh Zwingli di Swiss tahun 1519 hingga Januari 1525 dan problem yang terjadi sehingga kaum “radikal” ini memilih untuk memisahkan diri dari garis utama Reformasi. Pertama-tama, label yang dikenakan kepada gerakan ini perlu mendapat penjernihan. Kemudian, penulis akan memaparkan peristiwa Reformasi Zwingli yang dilanjutkan dengan kelahiran “si anak tiri.”

G.Sherwood Eddy (1871–1963), a leading figure in American Protestantism through the first half of the twentieth century, is currently most often relegated to footnote references or mentioned only in relation to two of his most famous colleagues, Kirby Page and Reinhold Niebuhr. He was, however, one of the most renowned international evangelists of the time who worked closely with John R. Mott and Robert Speer in the Young Men's Christian Association (YMCA) and the Student Volunteer Movement (SVM). While a student at Yale, Eddy experienced a dramatic deepening of faith in 1889 at the famous Northfield Student Conference and then, while a student at New York's Union Theological Seminary and later at Princeton Theological Seminary, joined the SVM. Despite his seminary study, Eddy chose to remain a layman all his life. As a YMCA traveling evangelist in India from 1896 to 1911 and in Asia from 1911 to 1931, Eddy embodied many of the attitudes and methods of Protestant global mission for the approximately fifty years of its greatest activity. Primarily engaged in student evangelization, Eddy manifested a deep ambivalence toward the method of mission work. An examination of Eddy's life reveals that in Eddy one finds both the cultural imperialism with which nineteenth-century missionaries are often charged and a sensitivity to other peoples and a commitment to indigenous churches and leadership.While Eddy's ministry spanned over five decades, this essay concentrates on Eddy's labor prior to World War I, for in those years Eddy was most in conflict withhimself.
