"Britain's oldest missionary society, the United Society for the Propagation of the Gospel celebrates its three-hundredth birthday this year. This beautifully illustrated history is a worthy birthday present."--Theology, Sept/Oct 2001 Reviewed in the International Bulletin of Missionary Research Highlights: "Not to be pigeonholed as an institutional history, this volume is a multi-layered essay on the relationships of mission, Western empires, and American, African, and Asian Christianity....[a] masterly account...a thought-provoking study...Anyone seriously interested in the missionary movement from the West should explore it." "'Buy one, get one free' applies to this exciting book of mission history as well as to supermarket offers. Daniel O'Connor's amazing two-year project of reshaping and updating the 300-year history of the United Society for the Propagation of the Gospel (part 1) is complemented by 14 perceptive essays by international scholars from various geographical and topical perspectives (part 2). The shape of the book thus combines the 'modern' advantages of one creative mind...with the 'postmodern' diversity of various authors".--Yes (Church Mission Society Magazine) April-June 2001 "This exceedingly well-planned and well-written book provides fascinating accounts of how the first specifically mission organization of the Church of England responsed to the dual task of serving white colonialists in the British Empire as well as forming missions among the indigenous peoples of America, Australia, Africa, South Asia, and beyond." --James A. Bergquist, Missiology: An International Review, April 2002More details

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
This eBook uses Adobe-DRM, a „hard” copy protection. If the necessary requirements are not met, unfortunately you will not be able to open the eBook. You will therefore need to prepare your reading hardware before downloading.
