Academic Year

During the academic year 1950-1951 a Missionary study Fellowship sponsored by the Board of Foreign Missions of the presbyterian church in the U.S.A. made an intensive study or communism and the christian response to it, the members devoting all their time to this project. At the conclusion of their study this group of students prepared the following list of books. There has been a constant demand for a short list, and this one is based on wide reading and intensive study. Those desiring a more detailed bibliography are referred to “A selected Bibliography on the Christian Approach to Communism” issued by the Missionary Research Library. Additional copies, 10¢ each.— Editor.

Intellectual Leader

In the 1920s and 1930s several U.S. denominations endured controversy over doctrinal changes and the toleration of doctrinal differences. Liberals wanted freedom to adjust traditional belief to fit modern conditions and to unite with other denominations for concerted mission work. Fundamentalists wanted to enforce traditional understandings of the Bible and salvation, and (some) to maintain confessional identity. The contest within the northern Presbyterian Church (PCUSA) was the most consequential. Mingled with the doctrinal issues were the anti-evolution campaign and questions of denominational government and procedure. Conservatives lost when the large body of moderates—who were mostly conservative in doctrine but unconvinced of the menace of modernism within the denomination—swung to the liberal side to avoid division. When J. Gresham Machen, intellectual leader of the fundamentalist side, launched an Independent Board for Presbyterian Foreign Missions to rival the official denominational board, he was tried and convicted of the heresy of schism.

Information concerning the small christian sects and independent churches in China is very scant. a contribution to our knowledge of one of these groups is most welcome, especially when that group is one which practices communal life based upon the example of the primitive christian community in Jerusalem. It will be very important to observe the fate of a christian communist group under a Marxian communistic regime. It is reported that S. P. Wang has published a book on the group in China, but a copy is not available in the united states. The Rev. Theodore F. Romig is a missionary of wide experience in China and the son of missionary experience. He is professor-elect of Missions at the Mccormick Theological seminary, Chicago, but during the present year is on loan by the Board of Foreign Missions of the presbyterian church in the U.S.A. to the international Missionary council and the Research committee of the Foreign Missions Conference of North America for executive service in the Study of the Missionary Obligation of the Church.–Editor.
