Memories are not like historical records that progress along an uninterrupted time line. They are more like computer games and jigsaw puzzles; they do not continue in straight lines. They move by association; one memory triggers another and so on. In one sense, what you will be reading is an autobiography (my story as I remember it), but it is more than that. It includes a sage of a family, which reaches out six generations and encompasses a cluster of clans, cousins, and significant people who are inseparably intertwined in my recall.

Produktbeschreibung
Memories are not like historical records that progress along an uninterrupted time line. They are more like computer games and jigsaw puzzles; they do not continue in straight lines. They move by association; one memory triggers another and so on. In one sense, what you will be reading is an autobiography (my story as I remember it), but it is more than that. It includes a sage of a family, which reaches out six generations and encompasses a cluster of clans, cousins, and significant people who are inseparably intertwined in my recall. Like any work of memory, it is full of biases. It is probably full of factual errors, although I have tried to confirm the accounts that I have narrated from old letters, family trees, stories told over the dinner table, and the memory of others who participated in the events. To say that it is a work of imagination would not be wrong, but it is an imagination that works through the mind's eye and records the images of memory and family lore. This is the first of a number of volumes. It covers the years prior to Hamp and Mary Bibb going to China, their arrival in China and marriage, and the first few years of their missionary life in China. The entire series of Hamp and Mary Bibb biographies goes up to their departure to Hawaii in 1950.

James H. Ware Jr. was born in Shanghai, China, of missionary parents. He received his BA and MA degrees from Baylor University and his BD from Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. Duke University granted him his PhD. At Clemson University, University of Central Arkansas, and Austin College, he taught Asian Religions, the Philosophy of Language, Biblical Studies, Hermeneutics, and the History of Philosophy. Throughout his academic career, he has pastored numerous churches. Dr. Ware's first two books were study guides to Chinese and Korean Religions published by Yale Divinity School Press. His third work, Not with Word of Wisdom, dealt with performative language and liturgy. In 2001, he published Heart Sing, which consists of 350 morning prayers of praise and thanksgiving. Following retirement from Austin College, he has served as Parish Associate at Gulf Breeze Presbyterian Church and has been dealing with biblical hermeneutics and the life of the church. The Southwest Commission on Religious Studies presented him the John Gammie Distinguished Scholar's Award in 1994-1995. Previously, he received a post-doctoral award from the Fund for the Study of the World Great Religions and spent six months at the University of Hong Kong and six months at the University of Chicago.
