Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Two Thousand Years of Missions It is said that Shakspere owed much of his broad mental vision to the accounts of the world´s 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´s world 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 during 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, e.g., Dennis´ "Christian Missions and Social Progress" and Noble´s "Redemption of Africa."
