Synopsis

Explore the dawn of the colonial church and the spread of faith across distant shores. This historical account follows early church leaders, missions, and the social worlds that shaped Christianity in the colonies and other British territories. Through vivid scenes and careful scholarship, the book reveals how ministers, schools, and communities worked to sustain worship, education, and spiritual life far from home.

Delve into the challenges and choices that accompanied the spread of the gospel in North America and beyond. From missionary efforts among Indigenous peoples to the provision of clergy across islands and colonies, the narrative traces the practical steps, conflicts, and aspirations that defined a growing colonial church.




  • Profiles of key figures and the strategies they used to minister in new lands

  • Accounts of schools, translation work, and community governance that supported faith

  • Discussion of the relationship between church, state, and colonial life

  • Insights into the broader network of societies and missions operating abroad



Ideal for readers of church history and the history of the British Empire, this edition offers a focused look at the religious life that accompanied early settlement and expansion.
