Product Description
Webster's bibliographic and event-based timelines are comprehensive in scope, covering virtually all topics, geographic locations and people. They do so from a linguistic point of view, and in the case of this book, the focus is on "Salvation Army," including when used in literature (e.g. all authors that might have Salvation Army in their name). As such, this book represents the largest compilation of timeline events associated with Salvation Army when it is used in proper noun form. Webster's timelines cover bibliographic citations, patented inventions, as well as non-conventional and alternative meanings which capture ambiguities in usage. These furthermore cover all parts of speech (possessive, institutional usage, geographic usage) and contexts, including pop culture, the arts, social sciences (linguistics, history, geography, economics, sociology, political science), business, computer science, literature, law, medicine, psychology, mathematics, chemistry, physics, biology and other physical sciences. This "data dump" results in a comprehensive set of entries for a bibliographic and/or event-based timeline on the proper name Salvation Army, since editorial decisions to include or exclude events is purely a linguistic process. The resulting entries are used under license or with permission, used under "fair use" conditions, used in agreement with the original authors, or are in the public domain. ... Read more

A Handy Resource
Best known to most for their bands, thrift stores and red kettles at Christmas, the Salvation Army is both a charity and a Christian church.As a charity, it is committed to education, relief of poverty, help for the homeless and refugees, and drug and alcohol rehabilitation.As a church, it is unabashedly committed to the advancement of the Christian religion as defined by eleven key doctrines which are conservative and evangelical in tone (pp. 675-676).
Especially interesting and authoritative articles in the dictionary include many biographical entries on past and present leadership.Naturally, much space is devoted to William and Catherine Booth, who founded the movement in the year 1865 in London's East End.Both of the Booths were excellent preachers and chose to focus their efforts on the poor.Their organization grew in large part due to their charisma, and many of their descendants have also played prominent roles in the organization.
Other articles detail the expansion of the Salvation Army's work into more than 100 countries.Work is currently conducted in 175 languages and the Salvation Army operates its charitable work on a budget in excess of 2.5 billion dollars annually.Expectations of true members (officers and soldiers) are high, including the expectation that they contribute to the ministry as large a proportion of their income as possible.However, much of the work of the Salvation Army is done by "adherents," people who have not taken the oath to become soldiers but otherwise embrace the teachings of the church, and by several thousand employees who serve in various capacities.
This book is a handy compendium of information on Salvation Army personnel and activities, and would be of interest to both scholars and lay readers.It does not give sources or bibliographic references at the end of each article, making further research difficult.It does, however, have an extensive bibliographic section near the end of the book. ...

Product Description
The Salvation Army provides a case study of the way in which renewal movements in the church institutionalize. Their leadership roles, initially merely functional and based on the principle of “the priesthood of all believers,” begin to assume greater status. The Army continues to exhibit a tension between its theology, which supports equality of status, and its military structure, which works against equality, and both schools of thought flourish within its ranks. ...
