Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book turns the clock back to a world deep in the throes of transition, a world not so very long ago when the Christian world began to expand and explode onto an international level. Starting with the 16th century, the author traces a path through historical documents and episodes that showcase the budding ambition of the Christian faith to dominate and convert. The world's religions, from the grounded strength of Hinduism to the lesser-known practices of the Arctic and the Pacific, are laid out for the reader, creating a colorful backdrop against which the author then introduces a parade of characters who shaped this new age of Christian missions. The book's central figures were, however, not the usual suspects, but rather earnest and generally uncelebrated individuals, from laborers to royalty, who all, in some way, had an unquenchable desire to spread the word of their Christian God. Bringing these historical figures back to life, the author weaves a tale of struggle, success, and the inevitable fallout from religious zealotry. The result is a humanist history, rich in detail, and deeply stimulating in its examination of the concept and intention of what we now regard as international religious outreach. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
