Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Outline of a History of Protestant Missions: From the Reformation to the Present Time, a Contribution to Modern Church History In the three and a half years which have elapsed since the publication of the Seventh Edition, not only have Evangelical Missions made considerable progress in many of their fields of labour, but both at home and abroad various events have happened which have an important bearing on their development. To be able to record both of these in a new edition was to me, accordingly, a pleasant task. But the changes embodied in the Eighth Edition are not confined to this record. The book has been recast in several parts, and, in particular, has been enlarged by an appendix dealing with Roman Catholic Missions, which I hope will be welcome to my readers. In view of the yearly augmenting, and unhappily not always peaceful, contact between the Missions of the two Confessions, it has become increasingly needful on the Evangelical side to have at least a general acquaintance with Catholic Missions, their organisation, extension, and methods, as well as with their means of support and their results. For this appendix I would gladly have awaited a new edition of the Missiones Catholicæ as the official source, but I have hoped for it in vain; since 1901 no new edition has appeared - at least I have not, in spite of every endeavour, obtained any information of its appearance. Further, while passing this edition through the press, I have received quite a number of items of information, and also statistical details of more or less importance, concerning Evangelical as well as Catholic Missions, of a large proportion of which, unhappily, I could make no use, or could use only in the summary of statistics, as the sheets had been already printed off. This Eighth Edition, accordingly, is already, in the moment of its issue, in need of further amendment; but this is unavoidable in the case of a history which is in such constant flux as is the history of Missions.
