Synopsis

This book provides a comprehensive narrative of missions originating in Europe for one thousand years, from the arrival of Christianity in Europe to the era of Carey. Part I of the book explores the genesis of missions by examining the ethnic movements that laid the groundwork for the spread of Christianity, including the role of the Greeks, Romans, and Hebrews in preparing the way. Part II delves into the distribution of missions, detailing the missionary efforts in various regions, including Syria, Asia Minor, Persia, India, China, the Philippine Islands, Japan, Egypt, North and West Africa, and South Africa. Part III examines the continuity of missions across time and space, highlighting the ways in which the missionary endeavor has endured through racial, intellectual, scriptural, literary, social, and organic channels. The author draws upon a wide range of sources, including primary accounts from the time period, to provide a rich and nuanced portrayal of the complex and multifaceted nature of missions during the first millennium and a half of Christian history. Ultimately, this book offers a valuable resource for scholars, students, and general readers seeking to understand the historical roots and development of Christian missions.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

It is said that Shakspere owed much of his broad, mental vision to the accounts of the worlds exploration made available in English by Richard Hakluyt and that Milton was still deeper in debt to the same work. A large outlook on God sworld is the necessary basis of lofty inspiration. But the Principal Navigations of missionary enterprise have never been brought together in any one book or set of books. After preparing the copious bibliography of missions for the London Conference in 1888, Dr. Jackson, Secretary of the American Society of Church History, said in the journal of that society: We have some short histories which try to give an outline of the story: e. g, Mr. Smith s Short History of Christian Missions. .. But no one who is interested in the subject thinks of being satisfied with a few pages written at second hand on the story of the spread of Christianity dtmng 1800 years. The list of slight but helpful sketches has been increased since 1888. On special fields, periods or phases of mission work discussions of great value and real scholarship have been published, ef gff Dennis Christian Missions and Social Progress and Noble s Redemption of A frica.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
