Christian Writers
Christians () are people who follow or adhere to Christianity, a monotheistic Abrahamic religion based on the life and teachings of Jesus Christ. The words ''Christ'' and ''Christian'' derive from the Koine Greek title ''Christós'' (Χριστός), a translation of the Biblical Hebrew term '' mashiach'' (מָשִׁיחַ) (usually rendered as ''messiah'' in English). While there are diverse interpretations of Christianity which sometimes conflict, they are united in believing that Jesus has a unique significance. The term ''Christian'' used as an adjective is descriptive of anything associated with Christianity or Christian churches, or in a proverbial sense "all that is noble, and good, and Christ-like." It does not have a meaning of 'of Christ' or 'related or pertaining to Christ'. According to a 2011 Pew Research Center survey, there were 2.2 billion Christians around the world in 2010, up from about 600 million in 1910. Today, about 37% of all Christians live in the A ...

Lutheran Missionaries In Namibia

The reaction of the government and church authorities to the international spread of his writings, beginning with the ''Ninety-five Theses'', divided Western Christianity. During the Reformation, Lutheranism became the state religion of numerous states of northern Europe, especially in northern Germany, Scandinavia and the then-Livonian Order. Lutheran clergy became civil servants and the Lutheran churches became part of the state. The split between the Lutherans and the Roman Catholics was made public and clear with the 1521 Edict of Worms: the edicts of the Diet (assembly), Diet condemned Luther and officially banned citizens of the Holy Roman Empire from defending or propagatin ...

Paulus Hamutenya
Haufiku Paulus Hamutenya (born ca. 1884, Oukwanyama, Angola — died 12 September 1932) was one of the first seven Ovambos to be ordained a pastor in Oniipa, Ovamboland, in 1925 by the director of the Finnish Missionary Society, Matti Tarkkanen. Hamutenya was the son of Hamutenya gwaNghililewanga and Ndayapi yaKavengula. He was born ca. 1884 and baptized in 1919 in Onandjokwe. Hamutenya belonged to the Oukwanyama tribe. Peltola says that he had formerly been "a man of great power". He seems to have come to contact with Christianity through the Rhenish Mission’s work in Ondjiva in present-day Angola, and in the aftermath of World War I, when the Germans were told to leave Angola, Hamutenya with many other Ovakwanyama people emigrated to South West Africa. Once there, he built a church in his home village of Edundja, completed in 1922, i.e. two years before his ordination. In 1922, Hamutenya began his studies in the Oniipa seminary. Another man from Ondjiva, Simson Shituwa also ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |
