Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Hundred Years of Missions: The Story of Progress Since Carey´s Beginning This volume is the outcome of a need experimentally ascertained, and of an evidently increasing demand. That is, having urgent occasion to investigate matters relating to the beginning and development of modern missions, it was found impossible to gather the facts required without a long and laborious search, and so little by little the determination arose to fashion what could not be found. The works of Brown and Choules belong to the infancy of efforts for the world´s evangelization, and handbooks like Christlieb´s, Warneck´s and George Smiths, though of great value, are yet unsatisfactory at various points. And then, besides, the remarkable growth in recent years of interest in missions has increased tenfold the number of such as are in eager quest of information concerning the spread of the Kingdom of God among the nations. This notable phenomenon led finally to the conviction that a book like this, comprehensive but of moderate size, might prove of valuable service to not a few. All along the design has been to tell, not a little about everything, but rather enough about certain important and characteristic things pertaining to missionary history, fields, etc., to make the narrative interesting, and supply also as much as the average reader would desire. This limitation will explain why some of the newer work, or regions where large results have not as yet been achieved, are left without mention.
