ABSTRACT Drawing on the study by T. Jack Thompson, Light On Darkness? Missionary Photography of Africa in the Nineteenth and Early Twentieth Centuries (Grand Rapids: Eerdmanns, 2012), this paper explores, more specifically, the use of the Magic Lantern by British Baptists at home, and in missionary activity around the world, in the late Nineteenth and early Twentieth centuries. Given the widespread use of Magic lantern presentations among children and adults in Baptist life, and taking into account the vast collection of slides in the Angus Library, this article highlights the need for further study of the way images have shaped Baptist approaches to mission, as well as worship and devotion.

globally, when he asks, ‘What happens to the sermon...when it is no longer fundamentally referenced to and by the congregation? What happens to the congregation... when it becomes merely one digital umbilical cord on iTunes among a million others? (196)’ There is much food for thought throughout the volume. The analysis of cultural movements and attention to theologies in the twentieth century and early twentyfirst century across the Anglophone and Majority Worlds, with attention to how they intersected and continue to intermingle, is particularly interesting. The bibliographies at the end of each chapter will be useful to readers and researchers who want to explore each topic in more depth.

In After Whiteness, Jennings critiques the phenomenon of Whiteness, arguing how the conflation of European mastery, White male, colonial power, and the internalisation of notions of White superiority becomes the means by which epistemology is developed. Jennings illustrates howWhiteness became conjoined with patriarchy and colonialism to unleash an ethic of mastery, self-sufficiency, and control, as the defining elements for what constitutes notions of development and progress. Jennings’ work, which is aimed primarily at Theological education, distils the means by which the production of knowledge and pedagogical insights on the craft of ministry, has been informed by coloniality and Whiteness. Jennings is clear that this analysis is not about White people per se. Rather, it is the epistemological underpinning of a set of theo-cultural constructs, systems and practices that govern how theology and education operate in the west and which inform our ways of being and our praxis (pp. 23–156). One of the many great insights I took from this work was the extent to which a cult of mastery, self-sufficiency, and top-down notions of patrician control, all executed under the aegis of whiteness has stymied the emotional and intellectual agency of people racialised as White as much as it has traduced those racialised as the ‘other’. The whole book, in many respects, is summed in Chapter 1, which is entitled ‘Fragments’. Like the remainder of the book, the author uses poetry, narrative vignettes, and theological reflection, to outline the problems a neo-colonial ethic of whiteness has caused for the task of forming men and women into the mind of Christ through the medium of theological education. After Whiteness will become in its own way, every bit as influential as his earlier and now classic, The Christian Imagination. After Whiteness is, in many respects, an admirable sequel, but it is in other ways, so much more. It is an heartfelt cri de cœur for a more reflective and self-aware mode of theological education; one that will enable all human beings to flourish and not primarily those racialised as White!

explored and interrogated in ways that illuminate broader aspects of early modern culture such as, for example, the sensory dimensions of worship shaped by the Westminster Assembly’s Directory and Catechism or the complex intersections between, and implications of, persecution and toleration for sectarian religious identities. Importantly, the collection also draws on and introduces readers to a rich array of primary sources in both manuscript and print and the processes by which these have been produced, gathered, disseminated, and annotated, ensuring that the volume provides not only a summary of existing scholarship, but also points to opportunities for future research: ‘the manuscript records of the congregations of Christ that reveal, often in the most beautiful and powerful terms, what being a Dissenter really meant’ (p. 493).

ABSTRACT In 1939, Whitley wrote a paper in the Baptist Quarterly which began ‘Paul Hobson came to the surface for a score of years, then vanished in the odour of unsanctity’. 1 This damning overview results from the fact that in 1665 two women at Devonshire Square Church, were disciplined for wanton conduct with him. Whitley also condemned Hobson for betraying his friends to save his own life. 2 In this paper, I will explore Hobson’s life history, his writings and the archival recordings about imprisonment in the Tower of London between 1663 and 1665, to shed light on his personality, spirituality and vision. The evidence shows that he was a civil war soldier who made an outstanding contribution to the early baptising congregationalist movement. His resistance to the Restoration and subsequent long imprisonment without trial, broke his health and he died soon after his release

missionary outreach. First appointed to Burma in 1816 as part of the American Baptist Judson mission, she concluded her overseas service at Digah, a village in the Patna District of Bihar Province of Northeast India. For a decade, self-supported and entrepreneurial, she administered a network of girl’s and boy’s schools. By virtue of her short-term marriage to Joshua Rowe (1782–1823), she became associated from 1816 with the Baptist Missionary Society in London. She is a figure of interest to women’s education, missionary promotion, women’s emancipation, and interfaith work. Trulson’s highly readable narrative is based mainly upon 19 century secondary sources plus original letters found in the Angus Library BMS Archives and microfilm materials from the American Baptist Historical Society. Absent from the end notes are references to the original records of the Haverhill (MA) Baptist Church, and the Sansom Street Baptist Church in Philadelphia, both of which survive. Also absent are important recent sources on the Judson wives, William White, Henry Holcomb, and the numerous encyclopedia and dictionary articles pertaining to women in Christian missions (indeed Charlotte herself). ‘Evidence’ is often taken from published missionary accounts, like The Missionary Jubilee. Greater use of primary sources would have enhanced the analytic value of the narrative, for instance, the cultural meaning of early American and English mission outreach, the suppression of women candidates for many decades, currently under scrutiny, and interfaith issues between early Indian Christianity and Hinduism and Islam. The book is handsomely produced with an attractive dust cover. There are numerous useful illustrations. The text contains typographical errors needing more careful editing and the index should have been more analytical. The book is recommended for all students of missions, women’s studies, and introductory American Baptist biography.
